Summary

The app receives overwhelmingly negative feedback, primarily due to its aggressive paywall and lack of a free trial or version. Users feel misled by the app appearing free initially, only to be forced into a subscription after a lengthy onboarding process, often finding the annual price of $70 to be excessive. While the core concept of managing screen time is generally well-received as a "neat idea" by many, some paying users reported significant bugs, including ineffective app blocking, inaccurate screen time tracking, and a malfunctioning "brain health" display. Overall, the app is largely perceived as a "cash grab" that fails to deliver on its promise without a substantial upfront investment or reliable functionality for those who do pay.
