Genuinely look no further.

This is PERFECT. I was looking for an app that blocked home and reels in insta but also wasn’t greedy enough to allow such limited efficiency. Definitely paying for a lifetime later on, the makers of the app genuinely puts trust first.

It’s like the early days!

This app is life-changing. Yes, it’s kinda slow. Yes, it’s not as smooth or seamless as the native app. But it makes Instagram feel like it felt when it first came out. OG Insta was clunky, just your friends, and kinda slow, but it wasn’t a dopamine overload like it is today. I highly recommend this app and have told multiple friends and family about it already.

This gave me my life back

I’ve tried other apps that completely lock me out of Instagram and they don’t work for me. I message people on there and I like to view stories, my main problem is how long I spend on reels, so being able to go on the app for messaging while not having access to reels, is awesome. I was so addicted to reels and now I’m not, the best 30 bucks I ever spent.

Best decision ever

This is by far the 2nd best choice I’ve ever made in my life (1st is committing to Jesus Christ), this app has single handedly change my life giving me my time back and really just letting me think again. No brain fog and doom scroll and jsut enjoying my life and not what is sold to us online. No addictive algorithms try to profit off my time. I will forever swear by this app and admit that “it really was just the damn phones” - now a free previously phone addicted Gen Z

Compliments + Ideas

I think this app works well for what is it set out to do. HOWEVER, when I go to Instagram, the user experience is very poor (e.g. slow typing, unable to easily reply or heart messages). So, when I am in a quick conversation with a group of people, I need to navigate back to the native app (and get exposed to reels once again). I think that if the user experience for Instagram (and other potential apps), then this would certainly help me cut out scrolling.

Other then that, I really like Scrollguard

Stop doomscrolling

Just use marketplace, no reels :)

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!
