Ratings and Reviews
Helps me use my phone less
I’ve been trying to use my phone and social media less and less, and this app really helps with that. The set up is easy, just a kind of “set it and forget it”, and boom, there are a lot less little red dots everywhere trying to grab your attention. And the devs seem super involved, with new stuff being constantly added.
Can’t suggest this enough if you’re trying to trim down the time you spend on your phone/social media.
Also, some of the changes this app can do just makes the websites more aesthetically pleasing anyway (like hiding the messenger notifications on Facebook, I have the messenger app, so I don’t need Facebook notifications on top of that).
Developer Response ,
I like the idea of thinking about Channel as "set it and forget it!" Thank you for your kind words. Best of luck on using your phone less, I hope we're helping a little bit! —Tom
Amazing
I don’t ever think I wrote a review for an app before, but this app is that amazing. It’s a great supplement to anyone that is looking to lessen screen time. Very easy to set up the results are instant. Don’t think this app will solve all of your phone addiction problems but this a tank in your arsenal. Definitely an app much needed in our society today. I would love to see much more support for more apps but I’m sure that will be coming in the future. Great job devs.
Needs some work but great app!
Like the title says, the app is still in development in its early stages and there are a few bugs here and there, but the team behind this app are a responsive and caring team of developers working to make our apps less distracting. This is an app with lots of potential and everything is uphill at this point. If you have a problem or are just curious about something, don’t be afraid to shoot them a message! They’ll work to solve your problem and answer all your questions as best as possible. I recommend at least trying this app out!
