### 5/5 — Thank you for offering a free option

*2026-05-08, version 3.0.1*

This is a pretty simple app, so I'm glad it's not subscription based! I just downloaded and set everything up, if I find a "support the creator" link somewhere, I'd happily donate a small amount!

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2026-04-23, version 3.0.1*

I appreciate so much that this is free to use everything you need a minimalist app launcher to do. Nobody should pay a subscription just to get their time back
Thank you, appreciate it immensely

### 1/5 — It’s literally just a widget

*2026-04-23, version 3.0.1*

Title

### 5/5 — By far the best minimalist app

*2026-01-11, version 3.0.1*

Look at that subtle off-white background, the tasteful thickness of it. Oh my God, it even has shortcut options.

### 2/5 — Can’t get it to look good

*2026-01-08, version 3.0.1*

Says “white screen” beneath widgets. Can’t get rid

### 5/5 — Best Minimalist App

*2025-12-31, version 3.0.1*

this offers the best overall customization and especially pricing of any other minimalist launcher app. Amazing work!

### 5/5 — Great

*2025-12-13, version 3.0.1*

Great

### 5/5 — Amazing free app!

*2025-12-02, version 2.1.1*

It’s so annoying that all the popular competitors charge a subscription for their apps…. Like y’all please don’t make me pay just to use my phone in a way that doesn’t hijack my brain chemistry…. 
I am so happy I found this free app, and with a bit of fiddling I’ve made it work perfectly (no “white screen” written under widget, transparent widgets, no jumping quickly to the white screen app when I open a new app). I will be using this app until the day in the distant future when I don’t have an iPhone anymore. Yay! Thank you for the free app that has great customization and is simple to use.

### 5/5 — Great app only one thing

*2025-10-23, version 2.0.3*

Hi there I’m Hermela from Ethiopia. I just want to share my appreciation to you. White screen has helped me dumb down my phone and use it less often, it’s the only completely free app to dumb down my phone that I’ve managed to find.  I also noticed your other apps are also aimed at genuinely helping people from quitting to smoke to tracking their fitness. Well done really!
Only feed back I have about the app is it would be great if we could have a transparent back group or a background of our choosing from our gallery. That way it can look even more minimal and seamless and it gives us endless possibilities for a wallpaper as a pose to the solid colors we currently  have.
That’s all keep up The good work

Cheers.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2025-10-20, version 2.0.3*

Only downside is I can’t get rid of widget name
