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.

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

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

Waste of time and money save yourself the trouble

Wasted my time, just for a hard paywall, app has same features as every other screen time app, plenty of better solutions both free and paid.
Absolutely appalling app, I have tried several screentime apps and was drawn in by this apps supposed “unique solution” instead I noticed they have blatantly taken aspects from all the other apps. The onboarding was incredibly long, just repeating the same message again and again, it then showed a paywall with no way to bypass. When I clicked the x on the paywall, it then gives you an offer that has a discount that’s incorrect. This app purely tries to waste your time and make you feel invested so you buy. I would try any other screentime app, there are plenty of better ones both free and paid.

Gute Idee, aber warum MUSS es Geld kosten??!

Wenn es eine premium Funktion gibt, die was kostet ist das auch dreckig, aber wenn man generell zahlen muss ist das richtig respektlos

Money greedy

You can’t do anything without paying. Don’t bother. Complete waste of time. Useless app.

Not free

This app is not free and you must pay a pricey subscription to access anything.

Why?

I was very happy about this app because it’s seems very good, and u downloaded and I made all of that quiz, I was excited, and when I finally end the quiz, I have to pay, I press X to not pay, and just put another mini screen and says “limited one time offer” I press X and then again the screen to pay, I press X and repeat repeat and repeat, why don’t say initially to pay, I made all of that quiz, I was very excited and then I have to pay, bro just specify I have to pay, not at the end of the quiz, still I guess very good app, my friends recommended this app to me and I was very excited but I have to pay

Amazing all around

From the awesome UI to the ease of setup. This app is everything I needed to help my screetime addiction. Thank developers for this!!

I LOVE SPOOL

I’ve tried so many screentime blocking apps this is the only one that’s been working for me. My screen time dropped from 9 hours a day to less than 3!!!

putting an excuse is annoying enough to be a good deterrent

i don’t even want to do that in public
