Full Paywall
The App seems super interesting but there is no free version, if you’re willing to pay go for it, but if not you simply cannot use it
Money Grab
Onboarding is way too long, i just wanted to hide my reels and now im stuck on a paywall, good concept really bad implemtation
Straight bs
Malik me answer some irrelevant questions for 5 mins and then Not bring able to use the App without paying is wild. Greedy sht
Scummy price behaviour
Subscription-based service only, which wasn’t advertised, and there’s no free-week trial like many subscription services offer.
When I tried to “skip” the subscription section, hoping there might be a subscription-free version of the app, I was instead given a “limited-time” 14% discount on the yearly subscription.
Curious, I went back to see what would happen if I proceeded with the full $70 subscription. It didn’t offer the previous discount. But when I went to leave the $70 payment screen, I was suddenly given a “2 minutes only” limited-time discount of 57%, bringing the price down to $30.
And surprise, surprise: I waited for the two-minute offer to expire, repeated the process, and got the exact same $30 offer with another two-minute countdown.
I didn’t even get to use the app because this pricing behaviour is unacceptable and, quite frankly, ridiculous. $30 a year might actually be a perfectly acceptable price, but the way the app tries to pressure you into buying it is not.

Money scam
It’s expensive, they trick you and it doesn’t work…
And the rating is from bot acc

Not good
Pretends to be an app to help ppl but uses there desperation into being better as a manipulation tactic to gain money. It’s super expensive, makes you take a 15min test just to force you to get a subscription after. Contains viruses too and literally cannot delete the app. Don’t download this for the love of god.

Perfect App works for me:)
I got my social media time on my phone from over 8h to under 40 minutes on average. Not once did i cross the limit of 1h I set myself, since I started 70 days ago. :)
Really useful
Of all the screentime apps i tried, this actually works! Definitely recommend giving it a go
Waste of time
Takes 15 minutes to get through app setup just for them to make purchasing a subscription mandatory
Dumbest app ever
What a waste of time waste of money not worth it
Actually Helps Me Stay Focused
Spool is honestly one of the best apps I’ve used for staying focused. It makes it super easy to block distracting apps when I need to study or get work done, and it actually helps me stay off my phone instead of constantly checking apps without realizing it. The app is simple, clean, and easy to use. If you struggle with distractions or procrastination, I definitely recommend giving Spool a try.

Abzocke
Erst beschäftigen sie dich eine Weile damit du dich comittet fühlst und dann musst für für die Basic Funktionen bezahlen.
Oh wie toll ein „72%
Rabatt“ von 40€ im Jahr auf 30€. Wer hat das den ausgerechnet

AMAZING
The app as the title says is amazing, it has all the features you’d want and truly helps with leaving your phone and not using it. I have used it for instagram and it has helped me focus during my studies. It’s great and I fully recommend it. Its very customizable and adapts to what your goal is.

So glad to hear!!!! Thanks for giving us a shot and we appreciate your support. :)
Helped doom scrolling
Spool has been a solid tool to help reduce mindless scrolling I like that it lets you filter out reels and short term content so you not sucked into an endless feed
Schlecht

Schade, dass Spool dir nicht gefallen hat. Wenn du uns kurz mitteilen möchtest, was nicht funktioniert hat oder was du dir anders gewünscht hättest, schreib uns gerne an team@thespoolapp.com. Wir helfen dir gerne weiter.
its 60$
theres a process u have to go throught for them to check u and see what u want but at the end when u think u done they ask u to pay. 1 star
Just what I was looking for
This app worked exactly like I saw on Instagram, I was able to block reels from ig and my screentime literally went from 6 hours to 2 hours a day. I’m able to block as many apps as I need … I’ve really changed my relationship w my phone
Never felt more alive
I’ve been using this for a few weeks, and it’s made me much more aware of how often I reach for social media. The structure has helped me cut back on mindless scrolling
Spool review
Spool has been a game changer for me. I’ve gained so much time back and I am starting to get out of the habit of mindlessly opening my social medias throughout the day
This app is so worth it!!!!!
I have like the worst procrastination problem and I love just scrolling on my phone for hours but spool has def cut down my screen time and it’s made me so much more productive!! I really like that it’s timed and if you wanna scroll it’s a slight process to allow it (not impossible though and doesn’t take too much time) but it’s genuinely very worth it because it deters you!! 10/10 fr
