I have recommended this app to all my friends. It has decreased my social media usage from 3-4 hours daily to an hour. The unblock feature is great
Very buggy app

Was able to cut my screen time in half (5 hours to 2.5 hours) with this app alone! And I look forward to reducing it even more. I thought I would still “cheat” like you can with Apple screen limit blocking but I haven’t been tempted at all to bypass. I truly put down my phone and live in the moment much more!
Heartwarming

One of the best screen time “reducers” of all time! Free works great to get started and the premium is very well priced. Works exactly as advertised and uses very robust methods to help get your life together again. A special thanks to Clint Jarvis for assisting me within an hour of needing help, truly the best!!
Great time saver!

I’m a phd student and Roots has helped me limit my social media use greatly! I like the strict but flexible rules it has!
Inaccurate screen time!

The whole point of Roots is to give an accurate picture of screen time. But it fails at the most basic task , it counts background activity as screen time. For example, WhatsApp shows up with hours of usage even when I haven’t opened it. This completely skews the data and defeats the purpose of using the app. Please fix this. Accurate tracking should be table stakes.
EDIT:
After few months of using it with paid version, I am unable to find how to add a website to be blocked. All they provide are the current apps or visited sites
Only thing that helps break the habit

Regular iOS screentime doesn’t actually provide a strong enough restriction.
Need it for Mac also!

Finally I can set my intentions and stick with them. Can’t wait for a Mac version!
