3 ★ Really great not to be bothered by distracting notifications, but also blocked all phone call notifications so I missed phone calls that were important. Maybe needs a bit more customisation in the future.

3 ★ You need to add exceptions. If you have a video open in a floating window and happen to look at your post box, then it'll call your last dialed number. I've tried and tried again, same thing every time

3 ★ A really nice idea for dealing with notifications. My most major gripe is the lack of ability to whitelist apps. For example, AccuBattery tells me when I should unplug my phone from the charger. Also as mentioned, the transitions used in the app feel as though they're running at half speed, when clearing through useless notifications (like Pixel Ambient Services which just tell me what song was playing). I imagine after some more time using the app these issues will cause me to uninstall.

3 ★ [The good] Very good organization of notifications. Gives a minimalist look and feel to your phone. Very clean notifications layout, for people who have a lot going on on their devices. [The bad] No whitelist (very important feature missing, will cause you to miss important calls and notifs). No option to clear all notifications all at once. Not much customization on looks and timings. [Conclusion] Overall a good concept app, would like to see it developed further with a whitelist functionality.

1 ★ There is a problem in the app when you give all neccessary permissions to app you don't hear any kind of ringtone for your call this happens to me I don't know that it happens only with me but app it self is good only this thing need to improve.

3 ★ App and idea is great i tried using this but there is a huge problem. It silenced my phone call also which are the primary task of any phone even though notification should be delayed for other apps still phone should be allowed.

4 ★ This is a very good app to reduce mobile addiction, as phone has become necessity nowadays, I use it for connecting people, to know what's the time, I personally feel there can be some improvements which can be added for further enhancement. Giving access to this mobile notification, I am not able to hear my phone when it rings while using this app and a sound notification can be added when the notification delivery arrives.

2 ★ Meh! Ive been using Daywise (the direct competitor) for a while now. My annoyances with Daywise are not resolved here. Notifications dont take you to the content, just the app. Example: Twitter. It doesn't take you to the tweet, it just opens Twitter. This is a problem for numerous apps. The interface is pretty, but it doesn't present the information efficiently. However the fatal flaw is not being able to filter some notifications to get through immediately. Daywise does this.

3 ★ Would be better if I could glance at all notifications at one go instead of having to tap on each box, because there are a lot of unnecessary notifications, it would be easy to miss out on an important notification. The concept is great but it feels more like a prototype, it needs finishing.

3 ★ Love the app, however it doesn't notify even missed calls or WhatsApp messages. Seriously need app exemptions possible for few apps else people shall miss out on some very important notifications - like I missed out on missed call notification alert - this app even muted the missed call notification. Please revisit this app, otherwise I love the way it bundles all notifications and delivers at specific times only.

1 ★ Nice idea, however I still receive notifications when it's running (and it's definitely running as its own notification is present). To actually view notifications via the app is a bit frustrating too as you need to wait for the pointless animations to run. And finally, the inability to whitelist apps doesn't help, though the fact I get notifications anyway kind of makes this feature redundant.

1 ★ One star for lack of explanation. I can't be sure as other people have said about whitelisted app, for example will my third party clock app be cancelled, or if someone is calling me on my phone or through something like Skype which is tied to an email account? Even if these do work, there is no confirmation that it wouldn't be a bug of some kind and stop them at a later date. It would be better if there were more than 4 periods to receive them to for things such as planning around a workday.

5 ★ I really like this app. Cannot wait for this to stop being an experiment and turn into a full fledged app. I had to uninstall because of the lack of whitelisting

3 ★ Love being able to hold notifications and batch them for whatever regularity I choose. To be useful though, it needs a feature to allow certain notifications/ functions to bypass it, like phone calls!

1 ★ So greatful for this app. It's basic UI organizes notifications in a distraction free way. The idea of holding notifications is helping me start my day free from destration. Thanks Google! [Edit: It mutes calls. I missed 3 important phone calls in one day. Uninstall.]
