Ratings and reviews

It claims to block scrolling only, but it blocks the playback of shorts/reels. I can't even watch single shorts from creators I've subscribed to. Moreover, the blanket "full device control" permission gives me the creeps, honestly. It's a good intention and effort, but yet to reach minimum viable product state.

I think downloading this app was like the best decision! My YouTube recommendation has immediately improved a whole lot cause I can't watch shorts that I genuinely have no actual interest in. The app has a timer setup too so if you do want to continue watching short form content you can instead keep it limited and the app will immediately kick you out of the video and I love it. The company is really nice too, they reached out to me to see how the app was running through their discord server!

Not everyone has the "included apps", therefore can't test this app properly. There needs to be a "free trial" for like a week before you have to pay 11.99 to determine if the app fits your needs. Or allow you to pick the 3 free apps. Also, a disabled button. I've already tried another app for the same purpose and am not satisfied with it's frequent crashing which has me looking for another app. Guess I'll have to skip this one for lack of being able to properly test it.
