  • Can’t even open the app anymore

    It suddenly stopped working over a month ago, and it still not working till now. The app just crashes right after the splash screen each time I tried to open it. Restarting, redownloading, etc doesn’t work. I paid for 6 months up front but only got to use it for 2 months :(

  • Completely changed how I use my phone

    I’ve been using this app for a few years, and it’s completely changed how I use my phone. What brought me to Roots is how simple it is, no annoying bloat that a lot of blocking apps have. It has a bunch of really great features, but the one that keeps me subscribing is how it handles scheduled blocking. For distracting apps like instagram, I have it set to allow me 10-minute unblocks 3 times a day whenever I choose. Because I have it sent to “monk mode” difficulty, there’s no easy way to ignore it. Before I downloaded this app, I’d sometimes loose hours of my life scrolling. Now, there are days where I don’t open the apps at alll. It’s been wild to see how addicted to socials I was and incredibly satisfying to feel that ache completely disappear. Very grateful to the Roots team for this tool, highly highly recommend

  • Was great… than it stopped working properly

    Initially this app was great for helping me get off of my apps and getting my work done, but now I’m deleting it because it became unusable. An update occurred and the app completely stopped functioning properly. I gave myself 4 hours of social media time a day. I tend to be awake late at night and don’t go to bed until the next day starts, and suddenly less an ONE HOUR into the day my apps are blocked and nothing I try will fix it. It’s not worth the headache to try and figure out what is wrong with it and I will not be redownloading. It doesn’t work anymore and it’s ridiculous. It was working great before and now it doesn’t work at all. Thank you for at least getting me through finals, but I’m sad to have to let it go now.

    This app has really helped to reduce my screen time! It’s also made me realize how much time I actually spend on my fine. I’m in the middle of studying for really important exams right now and this has helped me get my work done. I also like the different modes!

    This app does a great job in every aspect. From how the layout of the app to how well it does in blocking the apps you choose! As a student this helps me focus on my work and have more time to be productive.
