Amazing app that greatly helped me change my life! From 3h+ of daily phone use, binge watching or mindlessly looking at the screen - boom! - I've went for a walk, installed this app, and suddenly stopped using the phone unless it's necessary! Great work, app is working great, no bugs, can't wait to see new features and improvements. When needed help I got help right away, and the problem was solved in no time. Thanks!
