So far the survey this app goes with has been amazing...when I had some questions, their team was on top of them immediately! The only issue I have with the app (which I wasn't sure if I should email them about or just leave in a review) is that for the past few days, the app has taken a bit to give me my usage for the day and whenever I check my week or phase usage, it just shows 0 (although admittedly I haven't tried waiting more than 30 seconds when checking)

The app is great for tracking how long I've been on my phone and apps in general. Very precise and the limiting option is also good. Will give you a five and one minute warning when you reach your limits. Overall, not bad.

Keep getting emails telling me the research group isn't being sent my data, two emails so far, no indication of how to fix the problem. And never had problems until recently, why do I need to open the app when I've never had to do that before.

One of the best survey's I've done in a while. It was a bit long infact I still have about a week left but it was never something that got in the way of time. The support team was also very friendly - exchanged emails with them a few times and one time they emailed me based off of feed back I sent them so it was nice seeing people actually respond to feedback. Would love to participate in more studies with them in the future.

Great app. I was apart of the study that just ended and it was great. The support team was great. I exchanged a few emails with them and they were quick to respond. The app was running in the background the whole time and it was never bothersome.

The app is not tracking my time properly. I don't average 120 minutes a day. I set my time limits on face book for 120 minutes, it is 2 pm and I've been at work all day actually working. I sit down for my lunch break and only have 5 minutes left. Impossible! I also cannot bypass the app. This is distinctly frustrating to not be able to use my phone for a survey that is not paying alot of money and is recording inaccurate data.

Once I hit the time limit, it's going to stop me from using the "FITSBY" apps, right? I don't like that. I would be much more inclined to use a time limiting app that just gave reminders but didn't disable the apps.

This app keeps causing all of my other apps to crash, and it also crashes a lot. It's definitely not ideal if you want reliable data points for a study if it keeps crashing.

Easy way to be mindful of app usage. I set some daily limits on browsers and games. It reminds me when I am getting close to my daily limit. It's easy to spend too much time online. This dashboard is what I needed.

Great app for learning about your time usage on apps, particularly social media apps. You can set limits on usage within the app, but if you need to extend your time on that app for the day, there is a "Snooze App Limit" feature that pops up for extensions.

Sar. S. Jul 20, 2020     

Great application! Its very insightful to how much time I actually spend on my phone. It crashed a few times but since telling the research team it hasnt done it since.

Eil. M. Jul 28, 2020     

Excellent app for keeping track of the time spent on each app on your phone, and setting limits on them when you'd like to reduce your usage of each app. Very user-friendly!

Sam. G. Jul 19, 2020     

I have enjoyed this study and am more conscious of how I spend my time on my smartphone now. I haven't had any issues with the app crashing and haven't noticed any battery drain. Five stars!

Ann. L. May 4, 2020     

I've enjoyed this survey experience very much and the app works just fine for me. I've not noticed apps crashing because of it.

Luc. P. Jul 19, 2020     

Very unobtrusive app used for research studies. Never had any problems with it. I appreciate being able to see my data, that was enlightening. Well designed, good looking app.

Jes. S. Jul 19, 2020     

This app has been so awesome for me. I have weaned myself off of my heavy phone use with the help of this app! It also lets you set timers on different apps. Has done a lot for my mental health!

I have not had a problem with this app there are times that I never noticed that this app is even on it keeps accurate time of the apps that I use I've had no problems with it well have a good evening good bye.

Kyr. M. Jul 19, 2020     

It made me aware of how much time I used my social media, but like other reviews said, I would prefer a reminder if I reached my limit on FITSBY apps over being shut out from those apps.

Jac. M. Oct 23, 2019     

It works in the background without disrupting the speed of my phone and really helps me see just how much I use said phone.

Lor. O. Apr 12, 2020     

My phone constantly overheated to a burning level after installing this when it never did that before. I had to uninstall before the survey. 😥

Cha. Sep 30, 2019     

Very easy. The team responded to my emails quickly, and the app wasn't in the way of other things i was doing.

Nic. A. Jul 19, 2020     

I was pretty happy with the application and found that is was very useful in sending me reminders on usage times in a polite manner.

Jay. M. Jul 24, 2020     

I was told i would be rewarded for participating, once for installing the app and again at the end of the study. I have received nothing.

Son. B. Apr 13, 2020     

I've done my first survey but it says to upgrade from version 60. I don't see an update but I haven't had any other issues.

gre. 9. Jul 19, 2020     

It was a bit buggy towards the beginning of the study, but one of the updates for the app took care of that and it's been fine since.

Joh. N. Jul 10, 2021     

BS. Fishing expedition for over a year. Didn't see any feedback about getting paid. They are scum bougie tools.

Cee. L. Jul 20, 2020     

I've enjoyed this app & I've never had any technical issues, thankfully. It helps me monitor my phone usage brilliantly.

hea. g. Jul 26, 2020     

the study wasnt a infringement on my time, and I cant wait to see the results. I like dashboard, because you set and pause your limits as needed.

Car. Apr 13, 2020     

App causes other apps on my phone to crash sometimes, but other than that, I have no problems with the app.

Tom. E. Jul 20, 2020     

I have had no issues with this app and it has helped my to see how much I was using my phone, eye opening.
