  • Helped decrease the doom scroll

    I have been using this app for a little over a year and absolutely love it! I tend to go monk mode and it has helped with the impulsivity of just scrolling on my phone with no purpose. I have also discovered my mental health is better due to less time on social media and other apps. I’ve become more active and engaged face to face with my community.

    I’ve never written a review for an app before - but this app warrants all the five stars I can give. I downloaded the app around a year and a half ago, and it has completely changed the way I interact with my phone and social media. Before Roots, I had a very difficult time resisting the addictive effect of scrolling through endless reels and posts. Especially as a student, I wanted to curb my social media use to invest more time in my studies. By setting three five minute limits for social media, I am still able to interact and respond to friends’ posts and engage in content I find interesting without falling down the rabbit hole of endless scrolling. I also find the ability to build a “streak” to gain “pauses” aka individual days without limits very encouraging and effective. In my experience, it is worth every penny.

    For the longest time, I thought restricting screen time was simply a matter of self discipline, but these platforms are specifically designed to trap your mind and waste away your life. If you’re constantly dealing with software engineered for you to lose, why not try something designed for you to win? Of all the screen time apps I’ve tried, Roots is significantly the most effective and unpretentious at doing just that. For one, it doesn’t use flashy colors, animations, or haptics drawing attention to itself, which makes sense as that is exactly what an app like this should be reducing. It’s a simple interface yet extremely customizable in terms of blocking yet very uncomplicated to configure. My favorite part is that it reminds me that I’m looking out for myself; gently yet firmly guiding me away from time drains. I have it set to block certain apps and websites in the morning and at night because the compulsion to scroll was ruining my sleep. I also like that I can select which apps don’t count towards screen time eg. maps when driving so I can actually see how much I’m diverting my life awareness into the screen. It gives you a score for each day and you can go back and see your progress. There’s more that I love about this app but just download it and see for yourself. Thank you.

    I love how Apple allows an app that doesn’t help Apple be on their servers. This can be very useful thought due to my screen time

    Having used this service for almost a year now, I can confidently say it’s worth the subscription. It’s easy to use, easy to enforce discipline with edit locking, and the developers are always willing to help out if you’re running into any issues. That’s all you can ask for really.
