App is helpful for keeping me off the phone, but the home screen display freezes when scrolling. I read some reviews, and the response to this issue is always that this only effects 1% of users and that it's something google needs to fix. It's the same line they've used for months. Sounds to me like the product team isn't fixing this bug because people are still buying the app as is. So, if you buy the app, expect it to keep you off your phone because if the features don't work, the bugs will.

Hi Nathan, thank you for reaching out! Please try to turn on the Precision mode (under in-app time reminder settings) as that should help resolve the issue. You can also see: http://mp.fyi/14 Let us know if we can be of any further help at all at [email protected]

It's an impressive app overall with very useful features for helping you to spend less time with apps that use dark patterns to harvest your attention. One annoying issue I am running into recently is that every other time I open WhatsApp, I get taken a black screen. Then I have to go home again, and try to open the app again. I would love to see a bug fix for this. It seems to occur exactly half of the time I try to open WhatsApp.

Hi, this is an rare issue caused by a bug in Android 14 devices (effects only 1% of the Android 14 users) that needs to be fixed by Google. Please try to turn on the Precision mode (under in-app time reminder) as that should help resolve the issue. You can also see: http://mp.fyi/14

Definitely helped me cut down on phone time and be more mindful about phone use. One good addition would be an option to shut down whatever app was running before you went into the lock screen. Right now, when you come back from lock screen and an app is already open, it's easy to jump right back in and start wasting your life again. Close the app and force the user to go back to it if it's that important.
