immer wieder derselbe Bug

Es passiert immer wieder, dass sich das tägliche Limit für die Apps, obwohl es noch als aktiv angezeigt wird, von selber deaktivieren zu scheint und ich für meine 30min. Instagram-Zeit auf einmal kein Limit mehr habe, weil die App es nicht mehr blockiert. Bitte fixt das, das ist extrem nervig.

Genau was ich gesucht hab

Super cooles onboarding und genau was wir als Freundesgruppe gesucht haben. Das es mein Freund zum approval braucht ist das was die Sperre endlich mal wirklich nutzbar macht. Keine Selbstverarsche mehr.

Pls kostenlos

Einmal Payment für lifetime access wäre auch cool

Tolle App, jedoch...

Gute Idee, allerdings ist das Hauptfeature nur mit Pro freischaltbar und somit kostenpflichtig. Nie im Leben schafft man es mehrere Leute dazu zu überzeugen. Ihr solltet euch auf Werbeeinnahmen beschränken wenn ihr die App populär machen wollt.

FAQ

What does Useless do?

Useless is a screen time control app that uses social pressure from friends to help you limit your phone usage. Instead of you controlling your limits, your friends do, making it harder to bypass your own rules and reclaim your time.

How do friends control my screen time?

When you hit your daily app limits, the app blocks access. If you need more time, you must ask your friends by recording a video or taking a photo explaining why. Your friends then vote to approve or deny your request.

Is Useless free to use?

Useless requires an active subscription to access all features. However, a free trial is available for new users, and inviting friends can also grant free access. All core features described are part of the subscription.

What kind of phone is compatible with Useless?

The app description mentions it uses Apple's Screen Time API, indicating it is designed for iOS devices. It is not specified if an Android version is available.

What are the benefits of using Useless?

The primary benefit is reclaiming significant amounts of daily screen time, with users reportedly reclaiming 2+ hours per day. It works by leveraging social accountability, which is presented as more effective than traditional app blockers that can be easily bypassed.
