Ratings and Reviews
Annoyingly good
I spent most of my waking hours on my phone, it only leaves my hand when I take a shower or go to sleep. I am extremely addicted to my phone that even I got scared for myself. Apple’s Downtime is ineffective because you can always extend that I really wanted to buy a Samsung because their App lock option is way better. So I downloaded this app and I’ve never been more annoyed at an app but still praise it because off its efficiency. It’s like having withdrawal symptoms to be honest. The free version is annoyingly amazing, had the taste for the premium since it was free for a week so I’m saving up to avail the yearly subscription and irritate myself a little more. Great job developers!
Genuinely life changing
I don’t usually rate apps, but this one deserves it! I went from 20 hours on Instagram a week to 4. Such a difference! I have the block on for the whole day and snooze it when I want a short stint of binge. But the block comes straight back after the time is up, which stops you in your tracks and makes you mindful of the time you’re spending. No more mindless autopilot scrolling. Honestly a life changer!
Great until I tried to make changes, then bugged
Found it super useful at first and the work schedule option worked a charm for me, I however had one app fully blocked with one access per day and realised this didn’t work for me and needed to change it, but couldn’t, the opal app then told me I had no apps blocked but this app was still inaccessible, ended up deleting the opal app, same app was STILL restricted until I looked up others similar issues and went into my iPhone screen time setting and removed opal access from there, huge time waster trying to figure out how to rectify this issue. Now I don’t think I can continue with the app after the hassle of it not working properly unfortunately. Definitely would not pay for a subscription!
