## Dumb Phone Description
Make your iPhone calmer.

Dumb Phone helps you change how your phone feels — not by forcing you, but by removing noise and adding intention.

No endless scrolling. No constant temptation.
Just a quieter way to use your phone.

◆ Minimalist Home Screen

Replace a cluttered Home Screen with a calm, minimal layout.

Display only the apps that truly matter.
Add optional widgets like Date & Time, Weather, or Health — nothing more.

Health data is optional and only used for widgets shown on your Home Screen.
All permissions are managed through Apple Health.

◆ App & Website Control

Choose when and how you use distracting apps.

• Block apps or websites instantly for a set time  
• Schedule daily or weekly focus periods  
• Set gentle time limits for selected apps  
• Limit how often an app can be opened  
• Add an action before unlocking an app — like a pause, movement, or reflection

◆ Mindful Pauses

Add a short moment of awareness before opening selected apps.
Sometimes, a simple pause is enough to break automatic habits.

◆ Insights

See simple insights into your screen time, app usage, and notifications — without judgment or pressure.

Dumb Phone doesn’t try to control you.
It simply makes your phone easier to live with.

## Dumb Phone Reviews in United States

### ***** "Love it"
Works great and their other apps are great too. Devs are on top of bug fixes and updates which is a huge plus. I wish I could tint my app icons to a greyscale theme without it messing up the widget color but I think that’s more of an “issue” with iOS than the app.
-- RyanFullmer, 2025-01-15

### *---- "Literally can’t figure it out to use to"
Too complicated. Not up to par with ease of use of any app I’ve used on the iPhone.
-- Alec Durk, 2025-01-15

### *---- "Doesn’t work"
Doesn’t work
-- WildSt@r, 2025-01-09

### ***** "Great Idea!"
Slight learning curve, but worth it.  Wonderful flexibility.  Enables me to provide access to whatever apps I use while simplifying my screen.   I can also personalize its appearance with colors and fonts.  I’m using this on my iPhone and my iPad and discovering more about it and about Shortcuts.  This app is making the use of both devices faster and more efficient.
-- Primate1, 2025-01-04

### ***** "awesome app!"
I love it. So easy to set up and I’m thrilled to reduce my phone to basic functions to simplify. THANK YOU to the developer(s) for making a great, affordable product
-- jonny1123144, 2024-12-07

### ***** "It works!"
Easy to use. I got all his apps to try to do a “challenge”. I deleted the YouTube app, all socials (except LinkedIn, which I use for work), and activated this along his apps that limit all possible distractions on Safari.

They work!
-- Rojo Pastel, 2024-12-01

### ***** "Great App"
This app has helped me curb my phone addiction
-- Parkermon18, 2024-11-11

### ****- "Works well, has potential, room for more"
It works fine for what its supposed to do. I wish it had more customization options, particularly regarding the background. I know widgets don’t support custom images but maybe some themes, gradients, or preset images would be cool if possible, especially ones to push home the retro phone feel. And maybe an option for line breaks between list items, if at all possible. And maybe even an “icon” theme selection. Where maybe the user can select “Square Letter” or “circled letter” and the app simply concatenates a unicode icon associated with the first letter of the app name - stuff like that. Cool app 👍
-- AppStoreReviews_by_JJ, 2024-10-30

### ***-- "Widgets broke"
Recently experienced issues where the widgets stopped working. This happened after noticing for a couple weeks that some of the touch gestures on the phone got wonky when the widgets were on the screen (like slide down to launch search or slide up to scroll apps). The developers advice was to uninstall and reinstall. Doing so, I lost all of the stored configurations. 

I definitely was a bit put off by the devs casual response that I just essentially spend 45 minutes of my own time setting everything up again. 

I had another dumb phone app that I fell back to (had previously used and configured).  It didn’t have as many aesthetic customizations, but it also seemed far more stable. I’ll be going with that one for the foreseeable future.
-- carl_with_an_arl, 2024-10-27

### ****- "Works Great, One Issue"
Works good, great in fact, just allow the widget to be bigger and it will be perfect.
-- Mr.Sparta, 2024-09-23

### ***** "Awesome for what I want to use it for"
I’m very grateful for this app because it is exactly what I wanted without an annual cost for a widget. Tutorials were clear and informative. Setup was quick. I’m still getting used to it, and I think this will help me accomplish my goals of being more mindful of my phone usage.
-- ReasonableD, 2024-08-28

### *---- "Primitive and Confusing"
The application is very primitive and does not have any comfort features, as applications must be added one by one, which is very boring. Also, there are applications that I do not have, and there are applications that do not appear to be added. This application is confusing and needs to be developed to serve the purpose comfortably and correctly. I do not want applications that I do not have to appear to me, and I want to see my applications appear. I also do not want to spend my day trying to add my favorite applications.
-- Osama_Omari, 2024-08-25

### ***-- "Could Be Perfect, Major Flaws"
I chose this app for the price & simplicity of setup, and in thar regard, the app is great, many of the subscription model options on the app store are at best overpriced & at worst predatory. Unfortunately, as it stands this app does not do what is promised, in that a core feature (adding your own apps & shortcuts) just does not work. It doesn’t matter what I try, or if i follow the tutorials provided exactly, if the app you have isn’t on the preset list (and let me be clear, the list is not great, it’s missing some of many of the most used apps on the app store) you’re going to struggle to add it to your widget or not be able to do it at all. 

Once this issue is fixed, this app would be the best one available to people looking for a simple non-financially intrusive choice to make their phone lighter & break the habits of checking it, but right now, I’d avoid it.
