Blank Spaces App 4+

Great app, but confusing at first.

I struggled at first trying to find out how to actually get it working because of a variety of different information from both the app and online, but once I did figure it out, it was a lifesaver. My screen time has improved, and I’ve felt less anxious, I guess.

Just a big meanie at first, but you get through it 😭

Hi there, we appreciate your feedback and will use this to improve the app. Have a great day!

Best app for digital minimalism.

This app is everything I’ve been looking for and it’s working great! Anything that makes my phone less distracting is ideal. The shortcuts work well and it looks fantastic.

Previously, I had used this app while still keeping all my distracting apps (social media, shopping, etc) downloaded on my phone and just out-of-sight in my App Library. That worked well for a bit to reduce distractions, but the app alone wasn’t enough to reduce how addicting my phone can be. Since realizing that, I’ve deleted all shopping, entertainment, and non-work related social media apps from phone. I’ve turned on the “reduce motion”, “greyscale”, and “reduced white point” settings on my phone and it’s made a massive difference! I just ordered a matte tempered glass screen protector to help with the overall glare/intensity of the phone screen. I hope that’ll be the final piece to my “setup”!

This app has been incredibly helpful in turning my phone back into a device that works as a tool, not an entertainment device. I can’t recommend it enough.

Ineffective for a paid service

Firstly, it offers very poor instructions on what should be an extremely simple setup. The service itself, which is essentially a wallpaper change and extra widget shortcuts (which are already existing functions on iOS), is not worth a monthly subscription that is equal in price to something like a streaming platform subscription. Overall, the app offers too little of a service to come with a price tag and for the setup instructions to be so inaccurate. Just change your wallpaper and the widgets on your landing page with the tools that iOS already has, it won’t look or function any worse than this.
