I had to uninstall pretty quickly, as there were a lot of ads for other mobile apps and games, which seems unhelpful for an app whose sole purpose is to help you spend less time on your phone. I know apps need to make money and I'm usually fine with ads, but it's like holding an AA meeting in a bar! 😳 May well be a good app if the ads don't bother you, but I'm not gonna benefit from an app that keeps telling me to play cooking games.

This app is one of the best I've encountered! It helped keep track of my phone usage and ultimately control it. Daily, weekly and monthly reports are great! The reason for 3 stars is that I recently noticed a bug in samsung, when I close an app that I set a time limit on, the timer restart on both the daily usage limit and the specific app timer, which means it is not keeping track properly!

I don't know how to describe this because this is just fantastic. First of all, you can monitor the games that are really addictive, and not all of them. I found this feature really useful because I could turn off monitoring for simple apps like messaging. They always remind you how much time has been monitored and how many times you have unlocked your phone. I could write lots more, but I am limited to only 500 characters. Awesome app, download to kill addiction. Trust me, it's good!!!
