  • β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…10/1010/10, I really recommend this app. Up until now I used all kinds of screen time apps but none of them really helped me because I would always just bypass the limit whenever I felt like scrolling social media. With PeerPause I can really commit to lowering my screen time, the time buddy feature is really fun and it helps me stay on track.App Store review Β· Romania
  • β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…really fun app concepti just got this app with a friend and honestly it’s so fun denying his time requests. been using it for 2 weeks now and it helped us cut down on our screen time and we actually started planning more hangouts because we are forced to check on each other more oftenApp Store review Β· United States
  • β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…A great app for keeping you saneI think the idea of someone else having to approve your brainrot time is actually brilliant ! Much better than other apps!App Store review Β· Romania
  • β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…Smart and simple behavioral design that actually worksAs a mental health professional, I genuinely enjoy this app. It’s intuitive, easy to use, and built around a clever idea that actually helps reduce screen time. What makes it stand out is that every feature is rooted in simple but effective psychological principles. If you’ve tried other screen-time reduction methods without success, this app is definitely worth a try.App Store review Β· Romania
