Ratings and Reviews
Actually effective at controlling screen time!!
This is the only app for screen use that has actually worked on me. I like that it disrupts the automatic flow of reaching for the phone, tapping and consuming. The redirection through a centering exercise and then actually choosing how much time you want to spend on the app ahead of time are both incredibly helpful. The inspirational quotes about living your full life are also thought provoking. I enjoyed some of the premium features too. I participated in a challenge where you had to do squats to earn minutes on your blocked app. This app uses your phone’s camera and motion capture to make sure you actually do the squats! This was a great way to ask myself “would using this app right now really make sense/be socially appropriate?” Or “am I willing to embarrass myself to open this app right now?” If you have a couple of real addicting apps on your phone, this one will help you tremendously to fight for the time the others waste for you.
Tracking could be improved
I found this app on instagram where it was advertising its pushup for screentime feature. I was interested in that so I tried it out and I was disappointed with the result. The app uses a clucky looking kinematic tracker to track your limbs as you pushup. What I was put off was 1.) with my iPad it was really difficult to get the camera to point the right way when I was setting it up. It either made me look upside down or sideways, never right side up. After turning on autolock the problem persisted after some time but eventually was oriented correctly. 2.) You have to be in a certain distance away from your phone to do it. Im tall and have long limbs so I had to get really far away from my phone for the app to properly track my pushups. If I get any closer, my elbows will be out of frame and Ill get no credit for the push up. My apartment isnt the largest so to perform these pushups Id either have to move to certain rooms to do it.
Maybe inconvenience will help reduce screentime but if I have to pay for this app to get its full benefits, Im looking for the accountability and physical activity tracking, and there is another app I’ve found that performs that better.
Really really recommend
I downloaded this app in hope of reducing my screen time and reliance on scrolling through social media. I have tried other apps or even timers/limits built within the app with no success. I have always found ways to get back into the app and scroll for another couple of hours. But somehow this app has been the winner for me. I set 4, 10 minute sessions of my social media apps which is still plenty of time to disassociate from my day-to-day life but still feel updated and involved in social media. Overtime I have found that sometimes I don’t even use up all of my allotted time on the apps because A. I have become less reliant, B. I become bored on the app more easily and C. I have been in a situation where I cannot wait for the breathing exercise and quote to go through to get into the app. Overall, this app as been a life, social, brain, and time-saver for me. I always recommend it and will continue to as well.
