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

This is what finally worked for me

First app or service I tried that actually worked and reduced scrolling. Being able to still view reels from DMs and browse IG without getting bombarded does the trick. Recommend

No es viable.

Es un total no para mí

Achtung bei Apple-Geräten

Macht was sie soll allerdings muss man wissen, dass hier auf die Web-Apps zurückgegriffen wird. Die installierten Apps sind von der Funktion ausgeschlossen, was meine Erwartung nicht wirklich erfüllt.

Pretty good!

It has kept me out of instagram and kept me connected. However since I started using this app I can't check my notifications without the app, not even from the browsers, anyone knows a solution?

Richtig gute App!

Tut wirklich alles was sie soll, das workaround mit der Web App ist auch wirklich akzeptabel. Ich war monatelang hin und wieder auf der Suche nach Lösungen um zb. Yt Shorts weg zu kriegen, hat wirklich nichts geklappt. Diese App hingegen erfüllt alle meine Erwartungen.

Great substitute for the YouTube app

This app is more of a web browser than anything else, but it works! By running YouTube through the app I’ve managed to spend wayyyy less time scrolling which has been phenomenal. Gets rid of pesky shorts and prevents me from doomscrolling. I do wish it was easier to navigate the site and that it saved my video progress though since I don’t want to log in through this app.

Very reliable

Works

No shorts, no reels. Perfect life it is

This app adds shortcuts from the web versions of youtube and Instagram with blocked reels and shorts tab 😝. Loved this clever technique. I would rate 10 out of 5 ❤️

Worst Fake App

This is a fake app plz do not install it on your phone.

effective but deleted in 2 days

it worked well and i didn’t scroll instagram for 2 days except i wanted to post on my story and it didn’t work so i had to delete it

Perfect

Exactly what I needed thank you 🙏

Works well. Blocks Reels and Shorts

Works perfectly on iPhone. It hides the reels and blocks shorts. You can also setup automations to keep the main app for notifications.

Doesn’t work

This product simply doesn’t work. Reels disappeared for maybe 5 minutes and then showed right back up in the app. Tried to readd the new Insta to my Home Screen multiple times and the same thing showed.
