  • It’s ok

    There’s a lot of good, but it’s inaccurate. It’ll say I’ve used my “allotted time of 15 minutes” but I’ve actually only used three minutes
  • Pay Only

    It’s supposedly has a free feature with a pay option but it sticks on a free trial screen with no way out but to try the free trial. There is no lasting free function.

  • This is a great app

    It is really helpful in getting your time back. It can be so easy to pick up your phone and waste a great deal of time. This app has made me much more productive by blocking times that I might mindlessly scroll. It pays for itself in productivity.
  • Best Option I’ve Found!

    Roots has worked better for me than any other app blocker or screen time limiter. I love the flexibility of options for how strict or lenient you want to be, the system of unblocking based on time or number of unlocks, and most of all I am so grateful that it’s made accessible for students and those who need financial help. If you have the ability, I definitely recommend supporting this app/the creators!
  • Effective but buggy

    This app is great in design and concept, and I appreciate how thought-through all the options and customizations are. That said, it is buggy to the point of being unusable. My main complaint is that it constantly logs time towards by block app total when I’m not using any blocked apps. I dunno if it’s counting apps that are on in the background or maybe notifications on my Home Screen or watch or something. But every other day it’ll tell me I’ve hit my limit when my phone isn’t even open, which shouldn’t possible. It also does this thing where when in block mode for some reasons the auto fill search suggestions in safari don’t work. So weird.

    This app helps me stay off my phone for endless hours. I have used it almost a year and it is well worth it.
  • Unusable app

    New update requires Face ID. App is locked otherwise. I paid for premium. What a waste
  • Way to expensive

    I would rather be addicted to my phone then pay 60 DOLLARS A YEAR to not be addicted. I just wanted to do something good for myself and now we got pay to win LIFE.
