READ BEFORE GETTING THIS APP
Ok, so at first it was a game changer. The only problem was that I could only do 3 tasks without paying money, so my screen time was very limited which I didn’t mind too much about. Over the summer I stopped using the app for a week or two while I was on vacation, and when I came back it didn’t let me do anything without paying. It was stuck on this screen about getting a premium subscription. Im pretty disappointed because I don’t think you should have to pay just to limit your screen time. Im obviously not trying to offend anyone, and if you are ok with paying money, then this is a great app for you.

Great option when you can’t go cold turkey on blocking an app
I am using the paid version of this app. I appreciate the concept of “earning” time to use blocked apps. It’s really good when you can’t quite escape the itch yet, but can only unlock 30 minutes max at a time to prevent yourself from being “glued” to your phone.
Some suggestions for the devs:
1. Please make the tasks list rearrangable or sortable It makes no sense that when I remember to add a morning task only for it to show up at the very end of the list where I’ve already added evening tasks. You can’t make chronological sense of what you need to do and can easily miss tasks because they are out of sequence.
2. Make a block app option where you cannot unblock any apps while on focus mode, etc. It’s way too easy to bypass the idea of earning app time when I can just unblock it.
3. When making custom times, please stop with the 5 minute increments. Some tasks require much more customization. Additionally, when you go all the way down to 1, increasing it by 5 minutes makes it go to 6,11,16 etc instead of back to 5,10,15 etc.
I hope they’ll be more themes/cute/app customizations we can earn to help incentivize us to complete tasks as a another reward we can purchase

Making it five so you can see this!
So I downloaded this app because it looked super cute. It started out great letting me customise it and have custom tasks. But when I went to start actually using the app it came up with a page that Made me have to pay just to continue with the app. Basically you couldn’t use this app if you didn’t want to pay. There was NO x to leave it and I was just stuck at that page. Then, when I went to delete it I needed a screen time password. Horrible, if you want a free app don’t get this!

Response from developer
Getting stuck on the payment screen with no way out is on us, and we're sorry it turned a good start sour. The passcode when deleting is your own Screen Time passcode, not ours: remove Unglue's restrictions in Settings > Screen Time first. Email gus@unglue.app if you're still stuck.
Money
As a teen myself I have goals and hobbies I wanna do but still as a teen I legally can’t get a job at my age and it’s kinda sad to see so many apps have the same problem, subscriptions and absolutely no free perks through something everyone needs help with I’m not tryna put on criticism but it’s common for apps to help with brains to be paid for

Just money man
This would’ve been perfect if it was free. I know you work solo and you need plus to profit off of this amazing app, and that’s fine for the people that can pay, but for others, this just doesn’t work. Even though I can’t use this app, I’m giving you three stars for the commitment and effort. I hope you succeed, and I wish you the best.
