Ratings and reviews

We all may as well 1star all the Google apps. They obviously don't care about all the negative reviews, nor our privacy. Blatantly lie to us all about protecting our data. Actually checked the manifest of one of their other apps and found that it was accessing my Bluetooth and WiFi and making connections with other devices, and more. Will be posting a review on that one next. Also, I recently noticed something mind blowing. Wish I had more space to tell about it.

Digital Wellbeing is a decent app with a few useful features. I like that it has a Focus mode, which lets you hide notifications from distracting apps — that can really help with staying on task. The screen time reminders are also helpful, since they show you how much time you're spending on certain apps. Overall, it's not the best app out there, but it's not bad either. Just an alright tool for managing your phone habits.

This is basically spyware. It takes over your phone, and you can't remove permissions from it. Unlike other apps, it also can't be disabled. Doing so just makes changes even more permanent. It can also reinstall itself when removed depending on the device. If you have the choice, don't install, or at the very least don't interact.
