Ratings and reviews

I have been using Social Sentry and overall, I really like it. The reminder features are excellent and very helpful for staying on track. However, I’m quite concerned about privacy. The permissions the app requires feel a bit too much, and I’m not sure how safe my data is. Because of this, I’m a bit hesitant to continue using it. If the app could provide more transparency and reassurance about data security, it would be much better.

App is good. But I think adult blocker is an useless feature. Because you can easily bypass that feature. Like, that dns doesn't work. I tested, but I can still easily access those sites. And there is another problem. You give turn off blocking feature which is good. But because of it, that adult blocker also stops. Then, what is the point of giving nofap mode. One can easily turn off the blocker for 10 minutes and do fap. You should add a permanent adult blocker. Otherwise, it's useless.

Great app, just one small fix needed! Honestly, social sentry has been a game changer for me. If you're someone who finds yourself mindlessly doom-scrolling for hours, this app is exactly what you need. It really does help you stay off your phone and be more intentional with your screen time. Love it! The only hiccup I ran into was with phone number verification. It only accepts Bangladeshi numbers starting with 017, but my number starts with 018, which is totally valid here in Bangladesh
