Screen Time - Restrain yoursel

A Google user

The app worked for the first few months, so I had my husband set a passcode that I did not know so that I could limit my screen time. The app promptly stopped working after this, and no matter how many times we reset the limits and passcodes, it did not fix it. This is really a shame because this app was so simple and easy to use, as opposed to parental control apps which affect phone functions and apps that you don't want them to interfere with. Really a shame.

I've tried every usage app and this is the best by far. Data stays local, no ads, no upgrades. I'd love to donate to the developer if their was a way to! You can set limits in very broad and specific ways, and the overview of usage is great. Breaking down usage by categories and being able to customize categories is amazing as well. I've recommended that the developer add tracking for the # of times a device is opened, and they excited to try and include this in the next update!

I like this app, but I wish it had a few extra features that I've seen in some other productivity apps. For example, it'd be nice to not only be able to limit app usage after a certain amount of time, but also be able to pick and choose times during the day when certain apps or categories should be blocked. Additionally, it'd be nice if there was a setting that would allow for me to block the changing/deletion of a limit in the app after the limit has been reached.

It's nice to know how much time I waste on my phone, but what I really wanted this app for was the limits. At first I thought I was in luck because this app would let me block ALL apps that fall into certain categories. That would let it stay in effect even if I installed something else. I set a limit and hit it and was shown a popup. Perfect! The popup gave me an option to ignore the limit. wah wah That button made the app completely useless for me.

I enjoy only one feature on this app, the notification with how much time you have spent. But even this has issues! I have to go into the app every couple days to make the notification pop up again and make the reminders pop on the screen when time is up. Newest and most annoying thing, notifications pop up saying "screen time pro is available! Get it now!" It does work, just takes a bit of patience. Definitely do not recommend for parental control, but I do still use it despite these things.

This app has truly helped me grasp how much of my time is wasted each day on senseless things, and is helping make better decisions with what I do with my time. I love that you can customize which apps to track and which ones to leave alone, as well as the fact that it let's you set your own limits for what you deem as healthy. And I must admit, I love that it allows you to snooze the timer when you just need a few more minutes of mindless browsing... It's a great app - I highly recommend it!

Edit: Appear to have fixed the issue about not showing my premium. Added a star. Only complaint now is the notification sticky bar sometimes closes and I have to reload it. Otherwise works as expected. Paid for premium, a couple weeks later I appear to have lost my premium features and it's prompting me to upgrade to premium. The free version is fine. Don't give in to the paid version prompts.

This is a great app. I wish there was a way to change the "snooze" time. For example, when the screen tells you that your limit has been reached it gives you the option to remind again in 15 minutes. I wish that the developer would include a setting to change that number to however long the user wants. Otherwise this app does exactly what I wanted and it was worth the money for the premium.

Listen I think this app is wonderful but there is more that can be done. I just want to me a few requests. 1. You can add a setting that doest allow you to ignore the limit if you're trying to get rid of an addiction like viewing porn sites. 2. A setting that doesn't allow you to uninstall the app, this would be really helpful for addictions. 3. You could make some type of reward system for completing a day or set time without you using that certain app. That is all for right now.

Doesn't have the full functionality of AppDetox by any means (For example, I've limited my time on games to max 8 mins/hour), but is nice looking, user friendly, allows you to group apps by type, and is great for overall wide reaching restrictions. For example, I also have a max 1 hrs playtime for the category "games" using this app. This means that even if I get around AppDetox by downloading a new game, I still can't waste my entire day. Obviously it can't outsmart me, but it really helps.
