DumbPhone: Minimal Home Screen

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.

Too complicated. Not up to par with ease of use of any app I’ve used on the iPhone.

Doesn’t work

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.

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

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!

This app has helped me curb my phone addiction

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 👍

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.

Works good, great in fact, just allow the widget to be bigger and it will be perfect.
