HOW SURE ARE WE
Not in any grossing chart, so this comes from ratings growth (17 new ratings a month on average since launch): revenue grows with new ratings, more slowly for apps that collect ratings fast. Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2 times, and big earners tend to come out low. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

★★★★★ The app is effectiveness useless to me and I can't get a refund so it feels like I got scammed :(
Slow, laggy, battery4%

2 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Even premium is laggy and opens the launcher and THEIR APP before the apps you need launched.
★★★★★ The shortcuts look ugly when they load which is contradictory to the aesthetic promised, and they take too long to load compared to just loading them as is.

Missing features4%

2 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ No way to actually block most apps or App Library.
★★★★★ I'd really really like to see more than one size of Launcher widget offered, or the ability to re-size the Launcher Widget on iOS 18 (running the beta in my iPad, Dumbify *does not* include this super simple…

  • Color customization would be nice. 4★, Sep 30, 2025
  • Last edit: I wish the app would have a time widget so I can see the current date &or time. 4★, Apr 8, 2025
  • Also, idk if it's possibly because it's probably an IOS limitation, but having a the phone app be a default (already having the url scheme so I can add it to the widget) would be nice. 4★, Apr 8, 2025
  • Please add more features, I wish no integration with shortcuts and I wish the (OLED)black was true for my device screen. 5★, Apr 3, 2025

WHAT THEY LOVE · SHARE OF GOOD REVIEWS
Easy to use19%

11 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ Works beautifully, have it to where everything is extremely simple and ofc if there's apps I need less often I can just open them from the top etc.
★★★★★ 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.
★★★★★ If isn't intuitive enough for you now, the developer seems open to suggestions, and your purchase should help provide resources to optimize it even more.
Useful, it helps11%

6 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ Definitely recommend as it helps the iPhone be less time wasting!
★★★★★ Thank you for making a one time purchase app that is functional and useful.
★★★★★ I hope to see Dumbify continue to grow, and want to support anything that helps Apple understand how much many of us wish our phones could be inert tools waiting patiently to serve rather than black holes of engrossing…
Looks great9%

5 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ Lots of potential here and an overall enjoyable UI/UX.
★★★★★ As you set up Dumbify, which does take 20 minutes or so, you have the chance to really marvel at how creative the developer has been in coopting features Apple has created to make the phone busier and more engrossing…
★★★★★ Seems like a good compromise between the Light Phone interface with the functionality of the iPhone.
Fun, addictive9%

Great support7%

4 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ I reached out for help to set up my layout and Anthony fixed it right up. Thank you!
★★★★★ I combine it with OneSec to support mindful use of key apps.
★★★★★ I've seen some comments that already offer some great ideas so I'm hoping overtime there is still some support to keep my phone from controlling my life, but also being useful.

★★★★★Aug 31, 2026
Needs an update

It looks like I’m the two years since the last update some changes have been made. They’ll need to update the app before it’s usable again.

★★★★★Aug 29, 2026
Needs Liquid Glass update

The widgets don’t blend into the background like they used to because Apple’s Liquid Glass design added weird borders around them. Normally wouldn’t give an app like this one star but Liquid Glass has been out a long time now and as of this review the last update was two years ago. Avoid this app.

★★★★★Aug 27, 2026
Abandoned

Ever since Liquid Glass got released this app turned to trash. I enjoyed it before that but it just isn’t any good anymore.

★★★★★Aug 24, 2026
Most buggy app

Widget doesn’t line up with wallpaper, the shortcuts aren’t updated, doesn’t have a lot of app support, is clunky

★★★★★Jul 31, 2026
Wow

Pretty much near pointless. It’s a $5 widget… with shortcuts. If you want full tech minimalism it gets you halfway there, but since it’s just a widget there are easy ways around it. For what it is it’s intuitive and well made, but it’s not really helpful.

★★★★★Jul 19, 2026
ios update ruined it

loved it until latest ios update they have not updated the app so it doesn’t look clean anymore i think it was apple glass or something just sucks cause i payed for it and then they don’t update it
