Turning: Screen Time & Routine 4+

It has updates every 2 days, the entire point of me downloading this app is to build a habit, have consistency in the apps being blocked with time limit. But this app has random updates that change its fundamental service. It went from 30-min app block app, to this random focus mode, and I’m not sure what the developers want me to use this app for. Also, every-time there is an update, my previous settings and app registered to have screen time limit resets. This is a pointless app and you guys need to work on having consistency in your service. Leaving a 5 star so it doesn’t tank your rating but you guys need a lot of work to do.

Hi there,
First of all — thank you. 🙏
Your message is direct, thoughtful, and brutally honest — and yet, incredibly generous at the end. The fact that you left 5 stars despite your frustration speaks volumes. We’re listening. Deeply. 💥 Let’s break this down — you’re absolutely right on all counts:
1️⃣ Frequent, disruptive updates - ✔️ We’ve heard this loudly and clearly:
Frequent updates = broken flow, lost trust, and a user needing self-control now having to learn the app again. That defeats the whole point of Turning. 📌 We're currently changing our release strategy to focus on fewer, stable, fully tested updates. No more breaking your routine just because we shipped a new version. 2️⃣ Loss of registered settings and app blocking lists. “Previous app settings and screen time targets reset after update”. 😞 That’s absolutely not okay — and it should have never happened.
We’re actively working on a persistent profile sync system, so your restrictions and preferences will stay intact no matter the update, device, or even reinstall. We’re truly sorry for creating such a confusing and inconsistent experience.
But we’re not going to dismiss this feedback — we’re going to rebuild based on it.

And thank you again — not just for using Turning,
but for trusting us enough to leave a message like this.

We’ll earn your trust back.
– Team Turning 💙

with the paid subscription, the app leaves no leeway to doomscroll. this is very helpful for me because it FORCES me to find other ways to deal with my anxiety. i just REALLYY wish the developers would make this app available on macOS. it’s because most of the apps that i have on my phone i can easily access them on my computer. i swear this would change my life for the better.

I love the way this app is different from others!!! Traditional screen time apps make you open the apps you want to get away from and waste time: as you’re only given a set limit and nothing else.

The Turning app gives you a popup asking you to close the app, and do something more mindful. It doesn’t waste your time like traditional screen time apps do, as this app stops you from impulse opening your apps.

With the use of this app, I have managed to go from 4 hours to 7 minutes in just a day!! I love this app! 5 star.

Hi Ash008_800 all the way from Canada! Glad to hear your nice review here after using Turning. We've been trying to use several innovative ways to reduce people's screentime. Actually it have been proven by data that after 1 week of using Turning App, people has saved 5 hrs a week just like as you said. We'll keep adapting new fun ways to make users conscious while using their phone. Thanx :) Team Turning.
