100/10

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

No notification

Doesn’t offer notifications for Instagram dms

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!

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.

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!

Does not work as advertised

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

Does not work

It doesn’t

on the right track

this is exactly what i need. reels & suggest posts blocked, while still being able to dm people and see the reels they send. however the app is glitchy and slow, sometimes deletes my messages before i send them, i cant select multiple photos for a post, sometimes i cant view stories, etc. this app would be perfect if everything worked smoothly.

Did absolutely nothing

Seems like a great idea... Maybe I did something wrong but it did absolutely nothing, and made no change whatsoever... am I missing something??

Game changer

This has been extraordinarily effective and more so than any equivalent app purporting to the same. This is because it allows you to keep the essential bits eg instagram messaging while disabling the addictive parts eg reels.

THANK YOU

I was hating YouTube shorts with a burning passion. And so thankful I can use YouTube again on my phone without having to deal with that!

I wish it let audio work in the background. I have YouTube premium. But still I’m so thankful!

Genuinely good

I have been looking for a solid year for anything that can block shorts and help with mindless internet use. It’s sad that Apple doesn’t have customization like that but this app saved my life. My only issues is that going between IG and YouTube logs you out no matter what and logging in is annoying
