5 STAR WOULD RECOMMEND

My insta addiction has vanished since downloading this app!

One thing I wish could be added is similarly to rot days, to have something where you can reduce one persons max screen time to something like 25% of normal once per month for each person in the group??

Amazing app tho thank you so much!!

great concept, insane technical issues

its been really interesting poolimg screen time with my friends, and its been fun holding each other accountable. my review would be 5 stars, but the messaging feature is incredibly broken to the point where it doesn't open for any of us, which takes away several core features (adjusting screen time limits, requesting time breaks). its bad enough we resorted to texting each other directly instead. really hope this core feature becomes usable in a later update bc this app has been awesome otherwise.

Sooo buggy

Works great for limiting usage of social media, but the app lacks so much polish it’s annoying to use sometimes. My groupchat with my screentime group jumps around so much you can’t text after sending one message, and every time you open it, it goes through and loads every one of your chats from the history of the groupchat before you can see when someone sent you. Also, the app suggests in-person events that you can attend instead of being on your phone, but they’re all in London, England and I’m in Canada???

La meilleure application dans son domaine

Je l’ai vu sur les réseaux sociaux et depuis je ne peux plus m’en passer avec mon copain. Nous avons réduit nos temps d’écran de + de 2 h chacun ! J’avais déjà essayé plein d’autres applications mais le fait de responsabiliser et qu’il faille aller sur Snitch pour déverrouiller du temps au lieu de bloquer bêtement est top ! Je recommande à tout le monde !

Some issues

Great app it actually works and is helpful. There is some issues tho like the chat for instance. It lags every time me and my friends open it even sending messages multiple times ?? Also if you block someone you can’t unblock them. Other than that it’s been great.

Amazing

This app is one of the few screen time apps that is not trying to steal your money. It seems like the creators genuinely want people to be better! They give opportunities to cure your boredom and having an “accountability buddy” is super helpful and funny haha.

Love it! One thing I would bring back is..

I have enjoyed using this app so much! Something I miss from the old version is that you got to see the “public enemy” that was really fun! Seeing my name displayed as the public enemy was definitely a huge motivator to decrease my amount of usage.

업데이트 너무 별로

전엔 잘 썼었는데 업데이트 하고나서 너무 별로예요 디자인이 보기 불편하고 자꾸 로그아웃되네요

Exceptional - one improvement

Absolutely love this app! Cannot recommend more highly, the way it looks and works is very aesthetic and has noticeably made me see how much time I spend wasting my day on my phone.

Would love a feature we can turn on and off when the apps are blocked. ie: I want my apps blocked after I reach my limit not the entire time while still sending time warning notifications.

I loved this app but hate the new interface!!!

I’ve used this app since June and it has saved me so much time. I use it solitary, so I found the “invite others” pop up to be rather annoying. When they updated the app I was so disappointed to wake up to a screen full of junk. The new interface is way too overwhelming. I wish there was an option in settings to use it solitarily and also one to go back to the old UI. PLEASE MAKE IT HAPPEN!!! If you fix it I will happily revoke my 3 star review.

works but has issues

the app has greatly helped limit my scrolling time however on ios it locks the apps which blocks notifications. This can be detrimental at times when you limit an app like instagram where you want to see messages as they come

LOVE THIS APP!!

This app is actually so effective! I saw this app on instagram while doom scrolling and I actually love it! It really makes it hard to use the apps you want after the screen time is up where normal iPhone screen time you can just put in a password to override it. I 100% recommend, it really helps you to get a concept of how much you’re on your phone durning the day. Thank you Snitch!

Works INCREDIBLY but pls change interface!

This app has genuinely been saving my life. It’s the first screen time app that’s ever made any dent for me, and I’m so thankful! The only thing is, I started using it over the summer when the interface was not as overwhelming, and I heavily prefer that one. This cartoony 2d design is lowk stressful to look at with all the bold lines and the stuff going on in every corner. I wish you guys could at least give us an option in settings to use the other calmer one

AMAZING

its genuinely decreased my screen time & my friends screen time by so much immediately. i love how gen Z it is. and it really does persuade you to put down the phone. keep up the good work, developers!!

Perfect app

This app is seriously the only app worth my while, it is free no need to buy subscriptions and genuinely it works so smooth the beginning is quick and a fun introductory. Love using this as my friend helps me stay on top of things and the fact that you have to go into the app to disable it all and make a request to use more screen time just makes it even less enticing to scroll. Developers have seriously done an awesome job.
Me and my friend are on a 48 minute limit between us and we don’t end up using more than 10 to 15 minutes between us a day on socials

I can’t get logged in

I just downloaded the snitch app because I saw it on Instagram and now I've been trying to log in for half an hour and it's popular every time at the second step I try to enter my age but it doesn't work and there's no way to enter my age and thus continue with the registration. I also closed and reopened the app several times, but that doesn't help either. Also not that I delete the app several times and then install it again. I hope for a quick answer and solution and a way to fix the problem because I was really looking forward to the app.

ITS SO GOOD

Oh my god I struggled so much with scrolling before this, all the other limits I could just ignore or put in a password, but with this the guilt of scrolling first in the morning or using up all the time just gives me that motivation to just get off my phone. I also love that when your limit is over, it doesn’t take you to the app immediately and gives you insults instead 😂

Disappointing New Move

I’m disappointed with this payment push. Ultimately, it makes having a healthy relationship with your phone something you must pay for, or alternatively, something you must have enough disposable income to pay for.

After giving all of my data willingly—a phone number, contact permission, location, email, etc.—I was hit with a paywall.

I could either pay for a subscription, or block only two apps. This was already disappointing, but seeing that I would need to get premium to block websites as well deepened this dissapointment. Using the web version after deleting an app is one of the most common unhealthy alternatives when dealing with a phone addiction, so this is once again a “pay to heal” scenario.

I’m extremely disappointed and feel like I was tricked into giving away SO MUCH data, which I can only assume the company will sell and profit from, despite my now absence from the app.

To add insult to injury, the app was laggy and buggy on the account I had made prior to the new changes, forcing me to create a new one.

Don’t let this company profit off of you without actually providing help.

Super cool!! Can you do a loner mode tho?

My friends I don’t know if they’re into it but for people don’t have a community this app is so cool so my personal request is that you would make something for one person like an alone feature

Looks fun

The app looks fun, but I’m struggling to find settings :(
also, for ppl in different time zones (completely different) it’s impossible to stay in your time frame. So I used my allowed hour in the evening (Canada), while it’s been already next day morning in Europe (for the one who created the group), so in my morning (afternoon in Europe) I already used everything, but my day has just started 🫠
