App is nothing short of Outstanding, barring few nitpicks

This app is amazing and has greatly helped me with the screen time reduction. Even the non-pro version is enough for me to reduce the screen time.

While I’ve no access to grass, it seems to detect it fake grass as grass and allowing me to unlock the app. This might be fixed with an update. However it is not a problem for me, as having the hurdle to take a photo is enough deterrent.

However it also increased the screen time reported while I hardly used phone for that long. I’m seeing the discrepancy quite significantly ever since I installed the app.

Good app for decreasing screen time

The best app for reducing stress and anxiety by endlessly scrolling short in phone

Good ideology, but not very good execution.

I love the effort and the ideology behind this app! It’s a much needed step towards trying to limit screen time. Only problem? If a person really wants to use an app they have blocked, they just have to remove it from the block list. There’s no provision for disallowing the change of blocklists. So, this kind of defeats the purpose.
