    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.

    Roots is the only app you’ll need to change your habits with your phone. One month in and it’s been one of the best decisions I’ve made. The founders go above and beyond to make this accessible to anyone who really wants to make a change in their life. Thank you, Roots team!

  • Exactly what I needed to pass my PhD qualifying exam

    First, I just want to say that the Roots founders are all incredibly kind, helpful, and responsive. I've never felt so acknowledged by an app's development team before. Second, this is the app that truly helped me finally kick my addiction to texting and social media. I was really worried that my excessive phone use was going to get in the way of completing my PhD qualifying exam, which is high stakes and, if I fail, I'd be asked to leave without ever becoming a PhD candidate. I'm so glad I took a chance on Roots because it helped me not only "pass" my exam, but ace it, all while adding other productive habits to my life. Roots helped me experience life outside of excessive phone use. The best part is that you set up your own goals for phone usage and pickups, so whenever you fall short you feel more motivated to stick to the goal next time. This app is great. Highly recommend!
  • loved it but now it’s not really working

    Love this app. It used to do everything it was supposed to correctly. Now the time blocking option just doesn’t let me into those apps at all. I don’t get my 30 minutes whatsoever now. I have to go in, delete and create it again. It’s an everyday occurrence. Thinking of switching apps, I wish I didn’t have to do it. It used to work too! :/
  • Major Upgrade over Apple Screen Time

    I bought this app specifically to track screen time with CarPlay excluded from the total. It works really well and the block feature is a sanity saver! Wonder and friendly customer support also.
  • Does not work as promised

    I spend more time trying to fix the app than the time I would save using it. The app has always been a little buggy but their team cannot keep up with iOS updates and it’s a constant struggle to keep the app working. They blame any issue on an “iOS bug” but it makes no sense why an iOS bug would break app level data.
  • App crashes every time I open it. Even after reinstall.
