Absolutely amazing app

When I first saw this app on Twitter, I pre-ordered it with low expectations. I assumed I would delete it within a week, just like all the other 'anti-doomscrolling' apps. However, this app is different. It offers the option to use your phone, but only if you're outdoors, effectively minimizing doomscrolling. Furthermore, the developer is incredible—I've had the pleasure of interacting with him on Twitter, and he's a very kind and hardworking individual

Amazing app with one fatal flaw

First of all, this app does something which apple screen time doesn’t, which is when an app is blocked, you can’t just click “Ignore limit for today”, you have to actually open the app to take a picture of grass. However, I have found that I can just open the app and remove the app(s) I want to use from the distracting apps section, meaning it can easily be bypassed. I would like the app to be updated so you cannot remove apps from the list while the block is active but you can still add them, I feel like this addition would make me much more productive.

Revolutionary App!!!

This app has completely changed my relationship with my phone. I’ve struggled with too much screen time for years but with this app I’ve been able to reduce it massively whilst also getting outside more! Absolute game changer and must have for anyone looking to reduce screen time and improve their mental health!
