What's New in useLess

1.3.0

October 28, 2026

useLess now checks that Screen Time is still running your rules. If something is off, a banner on Home tells you, and one tap opens the steps to fix it. If useLess hears nothing from Screen Time for 3 days while you have rules, we send you a notification.

Pretty solid

I’ve been using this app for two weeks, and it’s worked a lot better than other screen time apps. I think the main thing is just having other people to do it with you, actually makes you follow through. I just wish you didn’t have to pay extra money to have additional insights, and to block more than two apps, but otherwise it’s great.

Okay

Tolle Idee, aber es gibt zwei Haken. Erstens man brauch genug Freunde um die App sinnvoll nutzen zu können und zweitens kommen meine Freunde in die App nicht rein. Bei ihnen lädt sie immer ewig. Daher zwei Sterne Abzug. Schade

Nerviger Einstieg, unklare Kosten/ Nutzen/ Funktionen

Man wird gezwungen alles einzustellen und dann am Ende eine kostenlose Testphase zu starten die nicht abgelehnt werden kann und ohne zu tun des Users in einem Abo mit Kosten endet…. Ich verabscheue solch ein Vorgehen. Gebt mir die Chance vorher zu schauen mit welchen Funktionen ich zu welchen Kosten rechnen kann. N

Very innovative and effective screen time control

I love the social aspect of Useless. Having to request more time from your friends makes you question whether you actually need to unlock the app right now. It has cut my screen time significantly. In my friend group we call the collection of requests with our selfies the "wall of shame", which makes it way more fun than any other screen time app I know :) Bugs get fixed super quickly too.
