Waste of time for an app thats trying to prevent you from wasting time. I don’t need to pretend text an animated brain to just get started. ### 1/5 — Makes me pay *2026-08-12, version 3.2.14* Why do I have to pay for this I won’t let me use the app to lower my screen time like I want to be getting told to pay to do it it’s stupid I looked through and didn’t see a single go for free ### 1/5 — 😠 *2026-08-10, version 3.2.14* When I downloaded the app I was really excited and I entered everything and I chose which apps I wanted them to lock but then I went to finish and start using it and then it said I had to pay to use the app and so I went to delete the app but as someone with a screen time passcode I needed to enter the passcode to be able to delete it, and I don’t know the passcode so I wasn’t able to delete until my mom was able to enter the passcode ### 1/5 — Hmmmmm *2026-08-10, version 3.2.14* Ok well good app good concept and all but I didn’t even pay and am unable to open my apps? Tried to delete it…nope my phone won’t let me so I am doomed no scocial media.no life .nothing not even five minutes and I haven’t even paid? ### 1/5 — NOT FREE *2026-08-10, version 3.2.14* NOT FREE ### 1/5 — It sucks *2026-08-10, version 3.2.14* It makes u pay and once u don’t want to it dosnt let u get into ur apps u chose ### 1/5 — This sucks *2026-08-10, version 3.2.14* I hate this app unthought it was free and I can’t delete it ### 1/5 — Good in theroy *2026-08-10, version 3.2.14* I would love this but it is locked behind a paywall and in general there should be a free version so I don’t have to pay to disconnect ### 1/5 — Stupid subscriptions *2026-08-09, version 3.2.14* All I wanted to do was stop doom scrolling and then all of a sudden I have to pay money and I know your thinking just press the x button but guess what if you press the x button all it does is send you back to before you pressed start so developers of unrot if you read this the go ahead and fix your little pay to unrot scam I’ll redownload when this is fixed ### 1/5 — Unrot review *2026-08-08, version 3.2.14* It’s a little to expensive for me and I can’t delete it ### 3/5 — Love the concept, but very glitchy *2026-08-08, version 3.2.14* When I first started using the app, it was working great and supported me in changing my relationship to apps that I would use a lot longer than necessary. However I have found that over time, the “allowed apps” feature will eventually stop working where I have to uninstall and reinstall the app, and reset all my settings etc. I used their internal reset feature to no avail. Occasionally restarting my phone would work. This has happened maybe 3-5 times in the last couple of months. This app reminds you that your time is valuable, but ironically time spent on getting the app to work is making me consider whether it’s worth using indefinitely. I found the app to be great for kickstarting changing a bad habit, but maybe not worth using after a while if they don’t fix this problem. ### 1/5 — No money *2026-08-08, version 3.2.14* I don’t have money to pay ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — This needs money *2026-08-25, version 3.2.15* I need to pay money Just to do it at least make it not take money ### 1/5 — I don’t *2026-08-23, version 3.2.15* Don’t like subscriptions ### 1/5 — Not actually free *2026-08-22, version 3.2.15* Doesnt let you use it without paying, waste of time ### 1/5 — You’re the same annoying piece of s like everyone *2026-08-22, version 3.2.15* “Oh so you want to change ur habits and routine? Sure, here’s 10 minutes of annoying information before we get started. Then you’ll pay us. Deal?” Go fuск yourself. Really. You’ve stole my time already. ### 1/5 — Yeah I'm too broke for this *2026-08-17, version 3.2.15* Paywall without trial. Literally not even a free basic version?? And it's a subscription not even a one time purchase. ### 1/5 — I’ll unrot free *2026-08-15, version 3.2.15* Yeah I had high hopes and was excited when i saw the video on Instagram but then, after all the explaining, it id mandatory to pay, not even a small free version, disappointing ### 1/5 — Subscription *2026-08-15, version 3.2.15* Can’t even do anything on the app without paying ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-08-14, version 3.2.15* It messed up my routine ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2026-08-13, version 3.2.15* Did a few minute questionnaire and then told that there’s no free plans and you HAVE to pay to use it. It’s not even cheap either 100$ a year. Ridiculous ### 1/5 — Paywall *2026-08-12, version 3.2.15* This app wants you to pay to use it. No thanks ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The best for me *2026-08-22, version 3.2.15* 5 stars ### 5/5 — Great app!!! *2026-08-16, version 3.2.15* This app helped me focus on the real world instead of virtual world. The subscription is cheap for such a good app!! Thank you so much Unrot for helping me!!! ### 5/5 — 𝕀 𝕝𝕠𝕧𝕖 𝕚𝕥 *2026-08-08, version 3.2.14* I didn’t even try and I already love 𝕚𝕋 ### 5/5 — I like this but *2026-08-08, version 3.2.14* I sometimes get mad at this when I find that I have blocked something that I need right now. My daughter called me and then tried to share a picture with me on Signal, but I had it blocked so I couldn’t see what she was sharing! And I couldn’t unlock it right away!I need the blocks to remind me to stay on task, so I had to figure out how to unblock Signal. And I did! ### 5/5 — it made me become a better person *2026-08-07, version 3.2.14* yea title or wtv ### 5/5 — Free Trial/ Monthly Sub? *2026-08-07, version 3.2.14* I absolutely adore this app. But every time i try to recommend this to people they get put off by the yearly subscription cost:/ especially because you can’t even test the app first. It’s quite the gamble so I totally understand it. But this has been money well spent for me. It’s reduced my daily screen time by 2/3 hours! ### 5/5 — Like *2026-08-07, version 3.2.14* Like ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2026-08-06, version 3.2.14* Has helped me self reflect instead of doom scrolling. ### 5/5 — Reclaiming My Time *2026-08-04, version 3.2.14* An amazing tool that helped me stop the scroll and gain control of my life. Also, it helped me be more aware with that essentials of my life ### 5/5 — Worth it. *2026-08-04, version 3.2.14* This app totally changed how I use my phone, and thus how I live my life. Genuinely revolutionary. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
