Doesn’t work for instagram

Turned on the filters and it doesn’t do anything. Which makes sense, it never asked any permission to control my other apps, so I don’t know how it would be able to work with them. Bummer.

Response from developer

Sorry for the confusion — UNDOOMED can't modify other apps (iOS doesn't allow that). Instead, it *is* the app: open Instagram, YouTube or Facebook inside UNDOOMED and you get them without Reels, Shorts or the endless feed. Give it another try, and if anything's unclear, reach us at support@undoomed.app.

작동이 안되는거 같은데요

인스타그램 릴스를 꺼버리는 버튼이 있어서 활성화 해봤는데 되는게 없어요
제가 잘못쓰고 있는건지 아닌지 모르겟네요

Response from developer

불편을 드려 죄송합니다. UNDOOMED는 다른 앱을 제어하는 방식이 아니라, UNDOOMED 앱 안에서 인스타그램을 열면 릴스 없이 사용할 수 있는 방식입니다. 공식 인스타그램 앱이 아닌 UNDOOMED 안에서 열어 보세요. 문제가 계속되면 support@undoomed.app 으로 알려 주세요.

It doesn’t seem to work on iOS

I want this to work, but so far it isn’t. It isn’t disabled in the app or on the browser (where I need it disabled). I don’t want to have to be in this app to view content, I thought this was a browser extension.

Response from developer

Thanks for the honest feedback. UNDOOMED isn't a browser extension — iOS doesn't allow modifying other apps or Safari that deeply. It works as a distraction-free client: open Instagram/YouTube inside UNDOOMED itself. We know that's a different workflow than expected; if you try it that way and hit issues, tell us at support@undoomed.app.

100/10

I don't usually read reviews, but this app changed my life.

No notification

Doesn’t offer notifications for Instagram dms

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback — you're right, DM notifications aren't supported yet; it's one of the most requested features and it's on our list. Feel free to share other requests at support@undoomed.app.

Solution I’ve Been Needing :)

So this app is amazing and has definitely helped me stop doom scrolling and being on socials refreshing all the time!

I have a couple issues which is just how the socials operate, but I believe it’s some things out of the Devs controls.

I would however love to see a bypass for sending messages to sellers on Marketplace without the ‘Download the app’ prompt.

Other than that everything has been amazing!

Response from developer

Thank you, really glad it's helping with the doomscrolling! The Marketplace 'download the app' prompt when messaging sellers is a limitation of the web version we run under the hood, we haven't found a clean workaround yet but we keep poking at it.

어캐 쓰는 거임

Response from developer

안녕하세요! Undoomed는 인스타그램/유튜브 앱을 그대로 여는 게 아니라, Undoomed 안에서 열어야 릴스/쇼츠가 차단됩니다. 앱 안의 인스타그램 아이콘을 눌러서 사용해 보시고, 그래도 어려우시면 contact@undoomed.app 으로 알려주세요.

Fantastic App!

This is something I’ve been searching for a very long time. I’ve been using opal but I’m completely switching to this! Fantastic idea to incorporate the website versions into this app itself! Fantastic work dev you’re truly helping people save there time.

Response from developer

Thank you, that means a lot coming from someone who switched from Opal! Glad the in-app web versions are working well for you.

Fixing the internet.

Short form content is my kryptonite. I’ve been attempting to manage it for years but I can’t do it, but deleting everything altogether isn’t my top choice. I found this app via a Reddit comment and promptly found it’s everything I wanted: a way to get rid of short form video while still letting me access other parts of the app. And the price is so reasonable.

My biggest fear is that this won’t get enough traction and shut down, so I’m writing this review to support!

Response from developer

Thank you for writing this, reviews like yours are exactly what keeps a small project like this going. We're not going anywhere.

Does not work as advertised

Does not work. Appears to be a scam. They do not respond to emails.

Response from developer

Sorry you had this experience, and sorry if an earlier email went unanswered, that shouldn't happen. Undoomed works by opening Instagram/YouTube inside the app itself rather than modifying the native apps, which trips people up if they weren't expecting it. Please try contact@undoomed.app again, we do read and answer every message.

I hope this is it

I’ve tried so many different ways to stop my scrolling addiction, and this app is one of the first things that actually feels like it could work. It solves a real problem by letting people keep access to useful communication without getting pulled into endless feeds.

The one major feature that would make it almost perfect is notifications. Since the value of the app is that it preserves access to contacts, not knowing when someone messages you removes an important part of online communication.

That said, it’s clear the developer is putting serious work into this. If the app keeps improving, it could genuinely become something that changes people’s lives and helps them regain control over their attention. Just be careful — the tech giants might come after you.

Response from developer

Thank you, that's exactly the balance we're aiming for. Notifications are one of our most requested features and still on the list, no timing to promise yet but it's not forgotten.

릴스안보이고좋은데아니근데

좀 불편한게 만ㄹ음 게시물 여러개 넘겨서 안봐지고 디엠하면 마지막 글자가 자동으로 쳐짐 예를들어서 안녕 이라고 보내고 뫄뫄뫄 라고 보내고 싶으면 안녕 보내는것 까진 문제 없음 근데 이 다음이 문제 녕뫄뫄뫄 이렇게 마지막글자가 자동으로 쳐짐..한번만 볼 수 있는 사진도 안봐지지~ 좀 불편 근데 좋은점도 많아여 릴스 안볼수 있고 좀 스스로 통제가 ㄱㄴ한느낌

Response from developer

리뷰 감사합니다! DM에서 마지막 글자가 이상하게 처리되는 문제와, 한 번만 볼 수 있는 사진이 안 보이는 문제 모두 확인했고 개선 작업 중입니다. 릴스 안 보는 습관이 자리 잡았다니 다행이에요.

Meh

I just got the plus plan and it barely does anything, I don’t want appearance change or graphs for screen time I just want to get rid of reels option. If I want to upgrade to pro it’s making me pay 17 again not transfer. Also I set time limit for doomscrolling and it doesn’t work. Overall tbis app hides reels and more if you want but there is a distracting triangle and you can easily turn on the reels. I would prefer a hard block, and there is no option.

Response from developer

Sorry this didn't land well. The Plus-to-Pro upgrade not carrying over your payment is something we need to sort out directly rather than in a review reply, please email contact@undoomed.app with your purchase details and we'll fix it. The time-limit bug is good to know too, more detail there, device and iOS version, would help us reproduce it.

Finally no more reels

This solved exactly what I wanted. I can use Instagram for messages without getting stuck scrolling for hours. Simple idea but super effective.

Response from developer

Thank you, that's the exact use case we built this for.

Exactly what Instagram Should Be

UNDOOMED strips Instagram (and other apps) of everything wrong with social media and leaves just the features you need. I would have deleted Instagram a long time ago if it weren’t for group chats that I don’t want to be left out of, but every group chat check would inevitably lead to 15-30 minutes of scrolling. UNDOOMED removes the explore button entirely while still allowing access to the core features of the app, all completely for free. It’s a much better solution than any of the other glorified screen time control apps. Two notes:

1) On Instagram, turning off suggestions currently turns off stories as well. It would be nice if this could be decoupled since I hate suggested posts but like seeing stories

2) I hope this app can stay free for as long as possible, but I would certainly pay something modest for the core functionality

Response from developer

Thank you for the detailed review! Decoupling Stories from the suggestions toggle is a known limitation of the current filter that we still want to fix properly, not forgotten. Core features stay free for now, and we appreciate you rooting for that.

I recommend this app!

I love this app because it solved most of pain points when using social media which is Instagram reels, YouTube shorts, and ads. I decided to upgrade to Lifetime for additional features and support the developer. One thing I love about my Instagram feed is that it’s now chronological and it’s only showing the people that I follow. One bug that I want to address is that the Instagram Stories toggle doesn’t work. I would love view Instagram stories without disabling “Hide Suggestions”

actually so good holy cow

single handedly cured my shorts addiction im not even kidding 😭 genuinely amazing app

Response from developer

Thank you, love hearing that! Glad it's helping.

Amazing

Absolutely loving this app so far! I wanna congratulate the creator for making exactly what I, and I’m sure others have been looking for! I’ll be sure to share with ppl, gotta get the word out!

That being said, there are a few minor bugs that should be fixed. For one, sharing a reel or post doesn’t work at all, it’s as if anything that is a “pop up” doesn’t appear. So that’s the same for sending gifs or stickers, which is a little annoying. Other than those two I think everything is really well made. Of course, it’s still a little laggy, but I’m sure that will be fixed. Anyway I’m loving it still thank you so much for this.

Almost perfect

App is great but when you do “hide suggestions” for instagram, it also hides instagram stories

Response from developer

Thanks! You're right, hiding suggestions currently hides Stories too on Instagram, that's a known limitation we want to decouple properly.

Does not work

It doesn’t
