Wellspent: Replace Scrolling

I have tried so many “app limit” apps, and almost all have them have failed me, except this app. This app is genuinely the most annoying thing while trying to scroll on tiktok, which is why it works so good! Every five minutes a notification pops up belittling me to get off, and I get so annoyed with it I actually get off! My screen time for tiktok went way down (embarrassingly it was super high). I don’t pay for premium and I only use it for one app, because that’s what works best for me!

Since I’ve been using this app for the past week or so, my Instagram account (the only app I use this for) has become restricted on and off. It’s currently restricted again, now for hours - and it’s not bc I’ve gone over my time limit I set for myself. I even hit the override button and it’s still restricted. I haven’t made any posts on instagram and have barely “liked” or commented anything. I did follow some people, but ofc it’s instagram, you follow and unfollow people. I haven’t done anything out of the ordinary nor anything against community guidelines. I’ve never had my account restricted before this past week when I started using this app. I just read about other people saying they used third party instagram apps for other things like “follow” and “unfollow” counters. It seems there is a problem with instagram and some third party apps like this one. Really hope I can get my account back. Would not have used this app had I known this. Too bad, bc it’s a great idea to help keep track of your time and keep yourself accountable.

This app has a great idea behind; A real problem to fix but instead it creates more problems and stress. That are days that the app simply doesn’t work, no notifications and reminders coming out of it. Nothing. Even more frequently though you will have this app harassing you. It tells you “it has been 5min you’re in this app” and give you 2 buttons “snooze or close the app”. If you press the snooze because maybe you’re busy and in the middle of something it will keep popping up as soon as you snooze it. It doesn’t stop popping up. I tested it. Over 5 minutes. Opened a thousand times. Funny enough none of these “malfunctions” happened during the trial week. First day after paying for this piece of junk it started. You’ll get 1 functioning day followed by 2-3 malfunctioning days. That is what you are paying for. Instead you can hear someone who already paid to be harassed: don’t do this to yourself. STAY AWAY FROM THIS APP.
