    I would be a cheerleader for this app and do a kick line in a stadium to support this. It actually works! I am living my life instead of looking at this electric box and way more productive when I’m on it.

  • Thank you

    i used this for instagram and it was good to keep me off the app and to keep me from doomscrolling. i kept a good habit of getting off the app, but more often than not, it would give me notifications that it would be limiting the app in 15 minutes then limiting when i wasn’t even on it. for a long time. today, it’s 3 am, and my limit is for 2 hours and 40 minutes (which is good progress from my 3 hour starting point) but i haven’t been on instagram at all today. it limited the app. i opened my screen time in my settings, and 7 apps including camera have 3 hours on all of them. i don’t know if it’s because it’s tracking all of them but that’s alarming to me. i’ll have to delete opal, sadly

  • great concept - bad execution

    the concept of the opal app is great. i’m two days into the free trial and i love that it actually helps me. BUT - charging for a $100+ subscription?? i know there’s a free (but more limited) version, and i know its obviously not just this one app, but really - people download this app if they feel they’re truly struggling with their phone usage/addiction. i myself have been struggling a lot with it lately, hence why i downloaded this app. it honestly saddens me that an app can no longer just be for the good of the people or a helpful tool - it has to be a money profit of some sort. this feels like you’re taking advantage of people who are trying to better themselves. maybe its not that deep, but i’m upset at this type of app in particular, one meant to battle against consumerism and media addiction, requiring such a price to get the full benefits of the app. i understand everyone needs to make a living, but charging for an app like this, that’s supposed to help people improve their lives, is just disappointing :(

  • Ludicrously expensive

    It works, yes, but the price of this thing is absolutely ludicrous

    I’m so relieved that this app gently removes the option of the endless scroll at any time of the day or night from me. I feel more functional and less empty after a couple of weeks of using it. No more scrolling first thing or past bedtime or during the work day (all my own decisions with parameters: love how customizable this is!) It’s fixing my compulsive desire to do that and helping me be present and mindful more. It’s actually making the times that I do access my “problem” apps more meaningful because more messages from friends have complied: no more checking and seeing nothing (because I’m checking waaaaay too much!). And best of all, no more feeling like failure for my own will power not being enough to reign myself in. Connecting with the world and others is the best medicine of all. I’m getting more reading in. Nice to have a little time to laugh at and send memes and videos each day, but to no longer be a slave to the screen. No more forgetting why I reached for my phone and then finding myself in a blur of reels somehow, original purpose forgotten!

  • Amazing app but needs more updates!

    I’ve had this app for over a year and honestly this is the only app that has genuinely worked for me and has made my focus better! I always recommend this app to everyone I know! It’s truly a app that’s perfect for everyone. My favorite unique feature on the app is the Opal stones you earn it’s always exciting to earn a new stone every so often. But, this is where Opal should personally have updates on. The concept and how it works is perfect. A perfectly simple app blocking app. But I feel you could drive more people into purchasing this app if you allowed more customization. Personally having a random mountain in a background when I have a break on the app is random… I believe if users had the ability to make Opal more personal, it wouldn’t feel like an old time blocking app and would be encouraged to share! It would be nice to add in backgrounds the users can choose or at least give an option for us to choose. That’s my only issue that on the breaks the GIFS are random. Even possibly making Opal have a light setting or colored to make homepage white other colors to have more customization. Other than that the app is great!

  • Amazing App built for focus!

    It has really opened my eyes to my phone addiction and cut my screen time in half. Very practical and thoughtfully built to add friction at the right places and remind you to put your focus in the right places.
