Good app. If it had all the major apps and let people decide what they want to use. Phone should be an option. I really dislike that the app pops up in the background every time you use the widget. The shortcut is a bit difficult to use.
Functional but a little clunky
I appreciate how clean this looks, bit launching an app is not a very smooth experience. The app supports a handful of potential apps out of the box, but if you want to add an app that isn’t on there it can get somewhat technical (either url schemes or you make a shortcut). My biggest gripe is likely a limitation of iOS itself, but the widget doesn’t launch your desired app directly. It launches the app which then redirects you to the app (or sometimes it redirects you to a shortcut that redirects you to the app for another layer). You’re definitely choosing style over seamlessness with this compared to using a shortcut widget. I set this up so that it shows the home screen and wallpaper using a focus mode so I can quickly toggle between this and my unrestricted phone access. I highly recommend that for those who are on the fence, but I do seem to be stuck with the same app dock on my home screen (again, this is an iOS issue more than anything but i’m mentioning it since this app aims to essentially reskin iOS) Definitely worth the money and it seems to do everything it can but it does have its limitations.
edit: I just realized that enabling “Reduce Motion” in accessibility gets rid of the animations when launching an app which makes the experience much smoother and also removes more distracting eyecandy on your phone!
(I am) Functionally Useless
Adding custom apps does not function, and what the launcher features by default is EXTREMELY limited. [IGNORE THIS/Do not give this dev a penny, this product barely functions in it’s current state/IGNORE THIS]
Edit: I have brain damage, apparently. App is fine. Ignore me
Does not allow apps
This app does not allow you to input apps like Notion, Motion and plenty of other apps into their widget.
This is a warning to others that if you do not use the most basic apps and have note apps and tasks apps to not waste your $$
Love the minimalism!
I was inspired by the light phone 2 which had such a simple layout that I really wanted but didn’t want to switch to android. After watching a YouTube video, I found dumbify basically does all that I wanted from the light phone 2 and put it on iPhone! The widgets trick is genius! Definitely recommend as it helps the iPhone be less time wasting!
Customer support
I reached out for help to set up my layout and Anthony fixed it right up. Thank you!
not working
The shortcut apps don’t work. It does not redirect me to the shortcut app
It’s just a widget
I watched a video that recommended this, but I’m sorely disappointed.
This is literally just a widget that you can add app names onto to open them. And it needs to open up dumbify before opening those apps. It is useless. Don’t get it.
Dumbify is so dumb
Not user friendly, doesn’t show what advertises in the picture. I was trying to have a blank screen with my top five apps that’s needed for work and communication. This doesnt help with that at all. Don’t listen to any other reviews. DONT BUY THIS! Scamming people to the maximum extent.
Doesn’t work as advertised
Doesn’t work. The widget can never be added, even after following the FAQ. The app is effectiveness useless to me and I can’t get a refund so it feels like I got scammed :(
