One of the most amazing apps

I started using opal about a month ago and it’s been really helpful because it helps you establish a level of self-control in a healthy way. The features are really amazing, even though I’m not using the paid version, and I can still keep track of how my time is spent over the day. Opal is the best app for people who want to reduce their screen time and start being more productive. It’s more beneficial than the built in screen time on the phone, and it’s free, so it’s a win-win.

The only thing that I would personally like is to have a monthly review but that’s available only for the paid version. I would really appreciate it if that would be available for free users because that’s really going to boost our productivity watching the numbers go down monthly.

Pretty good and useful app but here are some suggestions

The opal app is too good it has helped me a lot to reduce my screen time my daily average screen time was about 7 hours and after using this app i am running at 4 hours so there is a drastic change, however here are some suggestions, the app contains a lot of stones which should be reduced because unlocking a new stone everyday is kinda basic and irritating on the other hand developers can increase the limits of unlocking the stone too, more block screen customisations should be added to free model, AI personalities should be added like brutal insults and many more should be added to free variant, also i dont understand the concept of theme of each stone, each time when i unlock a stone i get option to apply the theme but when i apply it i really dont see any change in my app i dont get the concept of these themes and genuinely it is not needed too. So these were some suggestions i hope developers will take into consideration. The app is so useful and has helped me a lot.
