Dumb Phone (dp‪)‬ 4+

I use my phone a lot for work. I’m always messaging clients back on my phone, but these days, it’s so easy to get distracted. My phone is in monochrome to try and stop flashing colours of Instagram and other worlds appealing to me, but sometimes it’s easier to just simplify it all. Even now, I use a Blackberry Bold for a large amount of my personal use, because the “dumber” phones are much better. They get the job done. When I was looking at how I could make my iPhone less distracting, I came across Dumb Phone. Described to do exactly what I needed, turn my iPhone into a Dumb Phone. It does exactly what I need, even set up to automatically switch to a “launcher” of the apps I need at night. Installation took less than a minute and couldn’t be simpler. The customer service is top tier with super fast response times, Michael has made a truly amazing app. Curing my screen addiction everyday! Thank you.

Thank you so much for the super detailed and kind review - appreciate it!! 🙏

Great to hear you had previously taken steps to combat your screen addition, and more-so Dumb Phone has been a perfect fit to take the next step. Hope it continues to help reduce your screen addiction over time.

Thanks again, and I am happy to have been able to help. Cheers.

I love this app SO FREKAING MUCH.. i found it on yt shorts and definitely needed to try it, i had to watch a few different videos because i got confused but then it all eventually clicked. This app is so useful, just a suggestion, maybe for the background of the pages we could make it a picture? i would absolutely love that! still, 5 stars, havent come across any bugs and its developed very well!

Thank you so much for the incredibly nice review! 🫶

That's fantastic to hear you've been finding Dumb Phone super helpful, and that you made it through the set up process all right!

Great suggestion too, i'll add your vote for it! Thanks and enjoy! 👌

Integrates really well with the os overall. Very easy to setup, although a little fiddly to get all the settings in place. Had it setup for dark theme initially and then took a while to change it to white, which I’ve kept. No tutorial to do that.
Also, very expensive for what it is, so may not purchase after the trial period. But it’s awesome.

Thanks heaps for the kind review! Appreciate it ❤️

Glad to hear the set up process was manageable, especially since iOS can be quite tedious with configuring.

In today's update for Dumb Phone i've added support for being able to seamlessly switch between the Light and Dark styles, depending if you have Light/Dark mode enabled.

If you decide to give it another try, I hope you enjoy all the new styling customisations!
