“New upgrade is absolutely rubbish. Really enjoyed the old features like picking an Unrot activity, doing the daily quests and the journaling for bonus coins. Really reduced my screen time and it was fun to earn screen time with coins. The new battery feature is so so bad it’s now…” (1★, v4.0.2, 2026-10-01, GB) - Ease paywall pressure: 15 of 94 1–3★ reviews.

What to do: Explain the change in-app, restore the most-missed option, or offer a setting for the old behaviour.
“I’ve been considering this app for a while, and I went today to purchase it and they have completely changed it. The old version they had seemed amazing.

What to do: Reproduce sync and restore paths; add server-side backup and a visible "restore" option.
“Bring back the coins feature, I had more options and it was easier to use. This battery feature is lame and not worth the money users spent on it. I already contacted and still haven’t received anything back Update 10/18: updating my review because they reverted back to the orig…” (3★, v4.1.1, 2026-10-18, US)

Method and limits
Reviews were collected once from Apple's public customer-reviews feed (most recent first, 14 storefronts merged, up to 300 reviews). Star, month and version figures are plain counts of that sample. Theme and issue figures come from fixed keyword patterns (for example “subscription”, “charged”, “refund” for pricing) run on English-language 1–3★ reviews only; a keyword match is not a judgement of the review, so check the quotes. The paid report classifies every review with an AI model into 7 themes and 18 issues with severity. This is a snapshot of recent reviews, not the app's full history. Generated 24 October 2026. Not affiliated with Unrot OU or Apple.
