Intuitive and helpful!

So far, it’s been great. Honestly it’s rare to find such an app for free on the AppStore. It’s very intuitive to use, and you can control your screen time in the exact way you want. I like it to be very strict but it allows for a lot of flexibility, as well as tips to reduce distractions. If you wish the Screen Time option on iOS was a bit more developped look no further than this app.

Just letting the devs know that there’s a minor bug when opening app categories, especially the ones at the bottom of the list if you’ve opened the ones above before. That is the only “inconvenience” (if we can call it that, I just have to collapse the section and open it again for it to work) I found so far.

Thank you for having this free of purchase for everyone!

Finally app that will help me thats not behind a payblock

I just wanted to say thank you for keeping this app and (almost) all of it’s functions free. This has been the first app that i feel is finally breaking my bad habits and addiction to my phone.

Had some trouble setting it up the first time, it was a little buggy, but after a re-download and watching the youtube vid (good inspiration) i got it set up!

The thing i needed most at the moment was something to help me from doom-scrolling. W the customization that makes you able to open the app but for a certain time/intervals has helped me out a lot.
The widget is also very handy to immediately see how much time i’ve already spent on my phone today, a big slap in the face sometimes but needed :).

Sometimes it’s still a bit buggy, but the FAQ did explain alot! (Recommend to read it). Mostly it’s not the apps fault but just apple system rtc. But i hope that work-arounds are possible in the future.
Great app! I recommend it if you’re trying to be less addicted to your phone!

Perfect

I struggled with bringing down my screen time - social media and games at a fingertip when you are bored … couldn’t resist !
This app helped me instantly to bring it close to zero !
Easy to set up, lots of options to optimise and become aware of your usage.
Just great !
