Moment - Screen Time Control App Reviews

Is it just me?

One day I did not even pick up my device and it told me that I had spent 14 hours on it! None of my tabs were open so I know I wasnt using the internet while I was not using my device. Even though this occurred a couple days ago, it has not happened since. I think this app is a great idea, and is extremely useful, however a report an issue button may be useful. If you are sitting on the fence about the upgrades on this app because of the price, get it! Moment is great!

Great app

This app does everything I expected and more! I can not only track my own usage, but with the family pack I can see how long my friends/family have been using their phones and I love it. My iPhone usage is way down, and Im glad I gave moment a try!

Well Rounded

Overall a well rounded app, needs some UI polishing to step in line with iOS 8/9. Walt Mossberg of Re/Code recommended the app so I tried it out.

Gotta get this app!!

Absolutely love this app! It totally helps keep how much time you spend on your phone on track. Especially since someone like me can literally spend hours a day. This app helps keeping your time to a productive amount. And if you need any help, just go to settings and theres a link to email the creator! And he replies FAST and is so helpful and friendly! Trust me you wont regret this app!

Good app

Very happy with this app - works well (helps curb phone addiction!) and has an attractive layout.

fantastic!

great app! every device owner should have.

So far so great

I had no idea how much time I was spending/wasting on my phone and Moment helps me keep it in check. I would recommend this app to anyone! I havent paid for the app so havent experienced all of its functionality but am considering it. I had a couple of questions and Kevin (the developer) emailed me back in less than 24 hours!

Very well constructed app

The app is well done, and even though there is a bug in the last version, Kevin (the founder) is available and very helpful and solved my problem. Thanks a lot!

Not worth it

this is handy but uses up a ridiculous amount of battery is you leave it running in the background. My phone would lose so much battery even if I wasnt using it.

destroys battery

literally drains my phones battery. this is because it HAS to monitor where youre going and runs your gps 24/7. I was thinking something was wrong with my phone because the battery was going down so fast.

Cool idea, battery killer.

It was interesting to see the very basic data in the free version, but I couldnt make it through a day without my battery dying. Had to delete the app. Happy I didnt pay for it.

Good but....

Does exactly what it says it does; however, it uses way too much battery power. 17% of my battery in the last 7 days has gone to this. Thats quite excessive

Battery killer

I love the idea of tracking usage and was going to even use it as a part of a statistics lesson however, it killed my battery in less than 12 hours and I was only on my phone for 35 mins according to the app. I checked battery usage and it was the top app with 28%, not the 3% as claimed online. I love the idea but dont want it to be the reason my phone dies.

Apple watch app always shows 0

The iphone app shows my usage but the apple watch app doesnt seem to link to it and show me anything. Something aint right.

Just an appreciation

I dont know how you did it alone but its been changing my life for the past week or so. I recommend it to individuals who sit across me and rather look at their screens.

Warning!

Do not get this app! Its unsafe!

Good idea / limited by OS

This app and others like it are a great idea, unfortunately, due to restrictions in iOS for what an app can do, this app falls short with two major issues: 1. It drains your battery: Over a 9 day period I tested using this app. Within the first few days I noticed quite a significant drop in battery life on my device and started to dig in. Although the developer claimed Moment uses barely any battery (around 2% of his battery usage), despite it having to use location services, I experienced differently. Using my phone an average of 3hrs per day I found moment was the app with the largest battery drain on my device, using 24% of my battery over the last 7 days. 2. The second major issue was more about the app not meeting my specific needs. I want an app that can limit access to specific apps. I use my phone for many productive tasks and really just want to limit my social media and other time wasting usage, but unfortunately this again is not possible due to restrictions from iOS.

Perfect

If you are looking to reduce the amount of time you waste on your phone, this app is great! The free version offers basic, yet useful options and the pro version is really awesome and has everything in it. Only con is that the pro version is 7$, but since it is a single guy that developed it, i consider it as a thank you gift

Good app

Nice tracking app. Wish it ran in the background so I didnt have to leave the app open.

Great!

Super useful to have- it really helps with limiting screen time in our lifestyles. I love its simplicity. I would give it five stars if it hadnt seriously glitched a couple times where it said I used my phone for 8 hours straight when I hadnt been using it at all.
