    After more than a year, I unfortunately had to get rid of the app last night. The update was confusing and all of a sudden apps were being blocked that were not blocked previously, without a clear way to unblock them. Woke up and wanted to access a tv show to help me fall back asleep and all of my streaming apps were blocked out of nowhere. It’s a shame, because I loved the old version so much, but ultimately I need access to my phone and apps to be controlled, predictable, and responsible. This update was overkill, and until blocking controls are clear, I can’t recommend it in its current form.
  • Latest update doesn’t allow me to log in, or crashes on startup. After logging in, all data lost

    Title says it all, I’m a paying subscriber and there’s no path to talk to support or get this resolved? Pretty disappointing - support leads to an AI agent that basically does nothing with your requests, I’m on day 3 of not being able to use the app, because their 2FA server appears to be out of sync, sending a code and immediately expiring/rejecting it. Update: finally logged in, lost all of my data with respect to existing blocks and schedules - with no option to recover. Additionally, reinstalling the app forces a 5 minute onboarding period, despite having an account. Deleting the app appears to delete all your data. All around just pretty shoddy - this is software people are paying for, and that I’ve paid for, I expect more

    Sometimes a single break will unlock apps for a long time
  • Creates what it attempts to defeat

    Every time you reinstall the app it forces you into an unskippable quiz and “fun facts” about screen time even if you have an existing account. Also gamifies using the app through achievements and unlocks which encourages screen time by wasting time and checking. Block my apps and be done with it.

    I used to just spend all my days just scrolling away until I found opal which completely changed my life because it made me get off my phone and go outside. If you are young I highly recommend getting my opal

    I really hate the timer feature it is so bad and the app uninstaller is bad
  • Ngl, the update isn’t good.

    Somehow, this app got less annoying, which is not good. The UI is confusing, and it’s much harder to lock down blocking. Also they halted Shortcuts support. Still good, but it was better before the update.

    The new update they did will not let you end it even if you need to do something really quick or like it’s a emergency. It’s good but can be annoying.
