User Reviews
Not updated, get the new app
This app works amazing on iOS 18 but once I updated became useless/unusable :(
What a joke of an app.
the widgets function properly (mostly) but they do not blend in with the background no matter what. it is very flawed.
I downloaded the app to help spend less time on my phone. Trying to get this app to actually perform how it said it would has caused me more time on my phone. Deleted immediately and asked Apple for a refund. It said it was not eligible for refund. TOTAL SCAM!
Unfortunately a new iOS update has broken this app. Developer is does not maintain it. Avoid
Big fan of what this app does. The new Liquid Glass update has made it lose some of its simplicity. Would love to see an update to address that. Thanks!
Genuine biggest waste of money ever so useless needs more features to be worth money can i please get a refund
Needs update. I’m not one to leave 1 stars but don’t do it
Great app but unfortunately no updates for over a year. If you use iOS 26 I don’t recommend this app as the UI looks bad.
