Abandoned App
Do not purchase. The app hasn’t been updated in over a year and no longer works as expected.
The dark widget does not blend in with the background.
Save your money

Updates for iOS26 Liquid Glass required
Love this app, but the functionality is compromised under iOS26, with ugly borders and backgrounds around widgets and the app dock down the bottom. Some visual tinkering required.
2025-09-20
Love the app…but
Looks obvious now with iOS 26 with white lines around the widget. :( any update on this?
2025-08-29
Really good!
Wish there was a true dark mode , or the ability to charge the background colour of the list
otherwise its nice and looks really elegant and minimal

5 Stars
Not sure why this app isn’t 5 stars. I am guessing some people complained due to user error or not having a recent IOS update but this app is exactly what I needed and is the best value app for setting up your dumb phone.

Great app but wish you could customise background colour
I really like the app and how simple it is to set up, but the only problem I have is the grey background lol. It would nice if a full black option was added or just a fully custom colour picker. Otherwise, this app has greatly helped control my screen time.

Colour grading is significantly off
For an app that cost nearly $8, they can’t even make sure the widget and the background are the same shade

Doesn’t work
This app doesn’t work, I cannot add the widget despite working through the solution suggested and changing the language. I’d like my money back

My phone is not engaging
This app is simple.
And thats what i want my phone to be.
1) delete all your apps from the home screen
2) limit all your widgets from your home screen
3) choose a theme... black or white
4) list and link your main apps
5) enjoy the wprld arohnd you, youll stop engaging with your phone.
Hint. Want black and white weather widget get 'boring weather' fits with the theme.

Total waste on money
This app will not change your home screen but only add a text widget. Dont waste your money on it.

Simple and Very Effective
I have been on a journey of Technological Minimalism for some time, now, and have landed on the idea that the minimalist dumb/smart phones on the market are (albeit beautiful) a little under equipped for what I need.
I need a smart phone with the tools available to an iPhone but without the addictive motions, animations, colours and access to infinite feeds.
For me, my iPhone SE with this app has answered that prayer!
A clean, text based, interface but access to Banks, Study tools and WhatsApp!
(Also, I had one little issue with the Grey app section at the bottom and the creator directly responded with the solution. That’s customer service!)
Well worth the small one off cost!

Absolutely incredible.
Recently changed my settings to display grayscale however I still wasn’t satisfied with how busy the screen can feel.
Saw a couple of people use the app recently, and as soon as I found out what it was called, I downloaded the app 20 minutes ago, and have come back to review.
Absolutely amazing, this is exactly what I’ve been looking for. The app is so well thought out, so well designed and the inclusion of video tutorials wasn’t needed, but nonetheless appreciated.
Best $8 I’ve spent on the App Store. The idea of making the menu items widgets is such a clever idea.
Suggestion: it would be amazing to integrate with Apple Reminders api so i could use my Apple reminders, but through your awesome, clean lense.
Even without this addition, i still love what you’ve done here.

Great for the ADHD folks out there
Really clever idea, to kind of turn your phone into a 'dumb phone' facade.
I recommend doing this and also putting your phone into greyscale mode.
Also great its not some extortionate subscription scheme.

Lovely and clean homescreen
Great idea and execution. Easy to setup. Turns the home screen into a nice quiet place. Hopefully Apple allows for larger widgets soon, and makes the URL scheme work for every app. Thank you.
