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!

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.

Just wow. I dowload this app, all is amazing! It works, i leave it for a week or so, and the app updates, i have to pay to use it. Honestly, not everyone magically is rich enough to just ‘pay’ 50 dollars just to use an app. Also, when i was using it, all my coins just dissapeared. I would love this app, if you could please consider accsessibility and fix those issues. Peace, and thanks!

It was good…
I had this app before and I LOVED it. But I was running out of storage and I had to delete it. Today I tried to reinstall it and it doesn’t let me in without a payment. It was an amazing app but I can’t pay for it so I’m very upset about that😢 Maybe the developers could make it to where if it was installed the reinstalled it is still free like it was before

It means a lot that you loved it enough to come back. The free version you remember is gone, a subscription is what keeps Unglue running now, and we know that's rough when storage forced the delete in the first place. If you ever subscribed, Restore Purchases brings it back.
Why are you making me pay?
I don’t wanna pay for some app that unrots my brain I have been looking for apps like this for a long time and I thought this one was perfect. Well I was certainly wrong. I had to pay for like all of them. I thought this app was the jackpot until they hit me with the subscription. I didn’t pay for it obviously like I’m not one of those satisfying customers I was gonna be but now Im not

Pay
you need to pay while people said you don’t
I’m so confused am I doing something wrong?
The reviews say it’s free and it says you shouldn’t need to pay to access some services, but it won’t let me continue without paying? And worst of it I have to put in a password which I don’t have at the moment to delete it! Am I missing something or is this a scam.
Free trail is needed
This was so frustrating, i wish there was a free trial period where i could see if I actually wanted the app, instead i had to pay for it to see I actually wanted it and when I deleted the app so i could delete my subscription, i thought ill try it again because i already paid for it BUT IT MADE ME PAY FOR IT AGAIN

Age please allow ages 5 and up

The bot automatically spends your coins
The app is nice, I’ll give it that. But it automatically spends my coins that I’m trying to save up. For example, I take a picture of water, 5 coins, I think to myself that I want to save it and complete tasks for
more screen time. BUT NOPE it automatically spends my coins even if im not on my
phone for it, so what’s the purpose? I don’t know. $30 for this?

ABSOLUTELY AMZING APP
so you have to pay before you start the app but if it makes the development process better then that fine by me :) i like the idea and it definitely works. However if they could make it less accessible to edit the apps/ just make it harder to edit the blacked apps. I think I would be less tempted if I had to go through a long, tedious process like if it asks you questions and then decides if you need the app. That would be great. I love the new stuff and just an amazing app, cheap ss well I payed £30 for a full year thats around £2.50 a month so yeah

Scam
This app is just money hungry because you have to buy a plus plan just to start
bad app
I tried to delete it but it didn’t work and im not paying money on useless apps
Pay
Why tf do I have to pay for everything
Not sayin it’s bad, but I can’t try it.
Why? It’s not free. It would be better free, or a one time payment. Please make it free.
It cost money
I want to use this app but it costs money and that means I can’t use it
Review
I wish I could have used this but it is not free I get that there is no ads but there should be a free option or just make the app already the original price. Again this would have been amazing if it wasn’t for having to pay for it. I cannot pay for the app myself however if I had a job I could afford it but I am unable to do so with my current situation. Overall not a bad app I’m just a little annoyed at the fact that you have to pay for the app to work.

Thank you so much for your feedback! Although I cannot fully promise a free trial in the future, I'm working daily to improve it and will take your feedback into account.
