brainrot has genuinely helped me cut down on screen time—results have been well above my expectations. The little brain avatar is a clever and hilarious reminder when I’ve been scrolling too long. The app is simple, clean, and surprisingly effective. I’ve been more focused and feel better overall. Highly recommend if you’re trying to be more intentional with your phone use.

This app has potential, I like the overall concept. That said I am not continuing past the free trial. “Refreshing the blocking system” fixed initial issues I had, but it still has a mind of its own. When I extend my time for 15 minutes, the blocking turns back on prior to 15 minutes. You’d think basic functions like a timer would work. Also it should penalize you more if you extend for long periods of time. Not sure why extending 1 minute and 15 minutes is considered the same amount of “brain rot”. Can’t justify paying for this one.

It’s so easy to use and the brain visual is extremely helpful! I’m a content creator and it’s easy to get lost on Instagram, this app keeps me grounded and makes me want to get off my phone so my brain can heal. 10/10 recommend. If you’re considering downloading I definitely reccomend it.

The app idea is genuinely compelling, and I really wanted it to work. Unfortunately, the ongoing bugs with Screen Time make it completely unusable. Apps get blocked at the start of the day, the usage tracking is consistently inaccurate, and as a result I can’t rely on the app at all.It’s frustrating because the whole purpose is to reduce phone use, yet I’ve ended up spending far more time trying to troubleshoot the issues or figure out how to request a refund. At this point, I feel I’ve received no value from the purchase and wish I could get my money back.
