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.
