Ratings and reviews

Collects false data. Thought I was using 4 apps for 10 hours. Reality: I was asleep for 2.5 hours, phone in deep sleep, too. I had to hit the power button to turn it back on. This app then started blowing up my phone with offers to help me with my extensive usage. Open apps don't mean any or all are in use. In fact, I can only use one at a time! I want this app removed from my phone.

All-around terrible app. I don't particularly care about being monitored, for my digital well-being. I'm an adult. I can monitor my own screen time. It can't be disabled. When permissions are removed, they merely restore themselves on reboot. Furthermore, when force stopped, it tries to restart itself, bogging down the system, which leads to unstable performance. It's just a piece of "Big Brother" software that hides under the guise of a self-help app.

As far as I can tell and am concerned this is baked in spyware. It should be able to be disabled or preferably delete yet it very purposely is not able to be. It hogs system resources and constantly monitors everything you do unless you go through numerous settings to make it stop. Then to top it off it will sometimes even revert settings changes on its own. This app is a virus in my eyes.

What's new

Several bug fixes and stability improvements.
