I’m just using the free version to control my Facebook usage at the moment, but I’m 8 days into my streak. I love that it puts my phone to bed for me at 10:00, like I set it to, and I actually go to bed instead of continuing to mindlessly scroll. I’m getting more sleep. It makes me stop and think before I open Facebook every time I have a minute with nothing better to do, especially because it uses up 10 minutes of my daily allotment every time I open it, so I have to save it for when I have a full ten minutes to spare. I don’t like that very much, because sometimes I just need to check an event location or end up getting distracted with something else and end up wasting 8 of my 10 minutes on Facebook. Buuut I guess that’s not all bad, and I can always change the settings. Thank you for this app! Such a great help!

It’s pretty Rad! I’m so focused on gaining XP that I end up never scrolling at all! Great idea. Only thing. It’s to easy, I’m crushing the leader bored and and earning coins way to fast. I feel like I’m going to “beat” the app and get board of it. I just hope it here are more screen time challenges once I get to the Top tear. Update: I have now collected enough coins to unlock all of the real life rewards, I have placed in #1 spot on the leaderboard for each tear. I am on the platform tear and in 2 days I will progress the the next (last) tear. I paid for a year subscription but I “beat” app in 20 days. Don’t get me wrong. I love the idea, and the app is pretty good. A few bugs but everything thing new takes time, and I’m on board to being the guinea pig, but if the guinea pig has already salved the maze no one’s having any fun. Love this app! It’s pretty Rad!
