Love it but apps can be glitchy

Apps can be glitchy at times. Insta is probably the worst. But other than that I am happy with the app and I have deleted all socials and primarily going through this.

Does not work

most features charge and when I installed the widget I still had reels.

Dms

Autoscrolls up when trying to type dms and therefor you cant see what you are typing. its super annoying

Terrible

This app works terribly and cuts off many features. It is also terribly made and I would recommend getting a different app

Everything is subscription locked

The entire reason I got this app was to be able to text my friends and watch things they have sent me without having to worry about getting distracted, but that simple feature is subscription locked. Not to mention you can’t block YouTube shorts, X feed, Insta feed, TikTok, literally everything you would get this app for. If they weren’t so greedy this would instantly be a five star

Nul

Alors j ai pris l abonnement a 3 euro et des broutilles éclatées au sol sa me remet quand meme instagrame avec les reels je comprends pas le but en faite remboursez moi !!

Great app

All good

Great for web version

I use it to block the brain dead YouTube shorts I’ll catch myself watching. This app has fixed my attention deficit without making me quit YouTube cold turkey.

.

L’appli est vraiment cool !!! Je vous conseille !!

well enough

The app usually doesn’t work as it promises, rather it makes social media apps so clunky that I don’t want to use them anymore. So… the app IS working, just not as it claims it will.

worthless

costs money to keep reels in dms. so useless. i am ending it.

Scrollguard ist super!

ScrollGuard ist genau die App, die ich gesucht habe. Sie hilft extrem dabei, die süchtig machenden YouTube Shorts und Instagram Reels auszublenden – und das funktioniert wirklich wunderbar und zuverlässig.

Ein großes, herzliches Dankeschön an die Entwickler! Ihr habt damit ein echtes Problem gelöst, das sehr viele Menschen betrifft. Für mich persönlich eine unglaublich hilfreiche App. Absolute Empfehlung!

Very nice

Thanks giving back my time

Scroll Guard

Not good

Great and good intentions

Great idea however alot of features are blocked and need to pay premium to access it. However I see the intention behind it and it really has functions that discourage social media usage and doom scrolling. Support!

Just opens a browser inside the app, doesn’t actually change the native apps

As title, I understand there are limits to what the app can do but it should have been advertised it doesn’t actually alter the app itself, it just suggests that you should only access the apps through scroll guard. Then when you do access them it just opens the website ie Instagram.com and forces you to login every time. Could not imagine paying for this.

Try’s to steal your account

I logged in to instagram using the app and I then got an alert someone signed into my account on an iPhone in Kent. Immediately uninstalled the app, don’t trust it.

Wonderful app

I haven’t had this app long at all, but so far I love it. I am using the free version and the reel blocking feature has been incredibly valuable. I would definitely recommend to users wanting to limit scrolling time, or also simply to remove ads on Instagram.

To the app developers…
I think there may be a small bug with the posting aspect. When I try to post, it sends me to my camera roll like normal, but when I try to upload it says there has been an error. Is there a way to fix this? This is my only issue currently.

Overall great app and will continue to use.

amazing app

works great perfect.

Better than Socialite

Having a toggle for app rerouting would be nice and being able to download videos on Instagram would also be ideal, although you can create a toggle with focuses in the Shortcuts app yourself ! Works perfectly for me and feels much better to use than Socialite. The best shorts blocker out there for iOS currently
