Reviews: What People Think About Roots: Screen Time Control

Rating: 5/5
Thanks to Roots I finally can take back control of my time and eliminate the habitual scrolling every time I reach for my phone. Almost everyone I know is guilty of grabbing their phone and immediately opening their go to social media app only to blink and realize they just wasted the last 15-30 mins scrolling through memes or sports highlights. I’ve setup multiple rules on roots to eliminate me even being able to open certain apps during dedicated times like first thing in the morning or in the evening when I’m winding down. I’ve also made it so it time constraints how much time I can spend on social media each day. Roots is the self control I wish I always had. Plus Monk Mode is incredible because even when you want to change the rules it won’t let you so you can’t give in to temptation. 10/10 thanks for giving me my time back, Roots!

I have a pretty bad phone addiction, and I got Roots to support me by offering the time limits for apps and also blocked off time. I paid for the subscription so I could have monk mode and the most access to Roots’ offerings. I had to stop using app specific time limits because I would find myself locked out of apps that I needed after only being awake for three minutes. It would tell me that I timed out of my four hours of time limit for a work necessary app at 6:03 AM when I hadn’t even opened that app. the screen would have the accurate time for my screen usage, but the time limit would be locked anyways. And here I am sitting on my lunch, hoping to have 15 minutes of downtime before heading back into my stressful workday to find that my apps are locked once again when I have no active time limit, and no active blocked out time running. I paid around $30 to find my phone bricked more often than not and while it has significantly reduced my phone time, I also want to be able to use my phone when I find it appropriate. I really hope that these issues can be fixed, and I will be seeking some sort of refund or at least some amount of cheat days added to my account because I should not have to use an entire cheat day that I earned by following my goals because I want to be on my phone for 15 minutes and I’m finding myself locked out. It does not seem fair to the user and I am very dissatisfied with that.

Update: since my original review they have fixed some of the performance issues and the app has gotten significantly better! I still experience a couple here and there but overall I’ve had a great experience with this app and tell all my friends about it so they can cut down their screen time too. It’s literally been a life changer!
Original: I like this app for what it does and the interface. It’s a phenomenal tool that has helped me so much with getting control of how much I use my phone. With that said, it has the potential to be the best app out there for cutting down screen time if they could fix all the bugginess that happens too frequently with the downtime blocking/unblocking, app picker, screen time tracking, etc… the free trial has been good but until they get the kinks ironed out not sure it’s worth paying the premium price yet. Hoping they can fix the issues so it’s a better experience for users!
