Bit useless

It couldn’t even log me into my account on FB, confirmation of being human kept failing. App doesn’t even work on my iPad.

Amazing work

This is amazing. I have the exact problem this app is aiming to solve, going on Instagram to connect with friends and then getting sucked into reels. It’s amazing how well it works with an iPhone. I bet it was very difficult for them to create, knowing that Instagram does not want you to be able to remove reels. Also like some people have said, this version of social media is less appealing so that also helps you stay off them more. And they also have a timer at the top showing you how long you’re spending on here, and how many posts you’ve scrolled through. This app keeps everything I want about Instagram while removing everything I don’t want. And it’s free! Amazing work to the team.

Incorrect data

I like the concept of the app and it’s done a really good job of keeping me off my phone. However it’ll say that I’ve spent 3 hours on instagram when I’ve only been awake for 4 and I know for a fact I haven’t been on instagram that long. It’s a little confusing, I mean it doesn’t matter really but I’d like it to be more accurate

Useless moneygrab

It allows you to block reels on Instagram but you have to pay to remove your feed and just have Instagram as a messaging/story app. Fully defeats the point blocking reels tab but still being able to watch posts on feed.

amazing for what it intends to do

well, this worked! it cured my reels addiction by fully removing them, which was ultimately what i wanted so that was good. unfortunately, it also eliminated most of the features that i loved about instagram. i stopped posting feed posts and stories because you can’t add multiple photos/photo dump on a main posts, you can’t add stickers, locations, music etc. to stories, you can’t update highlight covers, etc. the app just isn’t there yet with the features and is quite finicky. so i basically got off of insta as a whole bc this app makes it not intuitive anymore, which makes me sad :( but it did what i downloaded it to do! it helped me lower my screen time a lot.
