i do not like the most recent updateEDIT: after the developer response, i thought i’d give them a few opportunities to fix bugs and get the app back to before. the exact same issues persist 2 months later, im honestly going to downgrade my rating to 1 star. now, my apps will be blocked when im not in a focus session and my limit hasn’…

RuinedHow have you taken a near perfect app and completely ruined it. It filled with clutter, no longer easy to navigate, timer doesnt show up on the lock screen or island anymore. It doesn’t even save the block list between uses anymore. Complete slop needs a fix ASAP

fall offThere has been a recent overhaul on this app which has made it clunky and barely usable

Recent five-star reviews

The Unblock isn’t ending accurately(fixed now)I am using iphone 13.. Opal is failing to block the apps after unblocking(ran for 15 mins). I can still access all the apps i set to block. Something isn’t right (fixed now) Thanks for the response

FreeLow Screen Time blockers cost money. I’m just happy this one was free.

An app that actually reduces your screen time!I started using opal a week ago and I already see a difference! It’s a great app if you want to reduce your screen time and the free version is more than enough for me! I recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
