Hooked - App Habit Tracker App Reviews

61 add

Ill take my virus in blue, please

If I could rate this 0 stars I would for two reasons: 1. You can already find out this information in your settings without this app, which makes this pointless 2. It tried to make me download software that looked extremely fishy to supposedly "set up the app." Im not here to get a virus. Please, dont waste your time with this app.

Extremely fishy

This app collects data to sell to advertisers as their business model. Source - I am an engineer in (responsible) ad tech

Scary Privacy Policy

This app collects 100% of your data and EVERYTHING you use your phone for apps messaging internet history. This app should be removed from the App Store

Yikes (I give it zero stars)

I bought this app, and then because it made me do a weird install tracker, I decided to delete it and look at the reviews, and thank the gods I did. Thanks for stopping me from making a major mistake.

Great idea - but the VPN caused lots of problems

After installing this app I couldnt access the Internet while at work. And all access was funky. I guess if my goal was to cut down on my phone use it works...by making my phone often inoperable. I had the same connection problem when my son used a parental control program that worked through a VPN the same way. And of course no Netflix through VPN. There are also some security concerns. Who is seeing where I go? I assume they are harvesting the data and selling it to support the app. Neat idea, but 4 days in Im deleting it.

DONT GET THIS

this app doesnt work it just makes u turn on VPN which wont turn back off after you set it up so idk how Im gonna fix that so i suggest not egtting this stupid app

What app?

Somehow this app had apps in my usage that Id never heard of, had or used! And it would calculate data incorrectly. i.e. If I used apps Sat, the data wouldnt show til Mon! Worthless app...needs serious revamping!

Virus

This seemed cool but oddly enough slow my phone closes stuff and will not uninstall stupid asshats thanks for the virus waste of time 0stars if I could

Do NOT download. Read to remove permissions

My daughters (9yo) was conned into downloading this app while playing another game so she can get "coins". Of course they make it look very enticing to a child. Well a few days after she downloaded it, without my knowledge, her iPod started acting up. She couldnt open many apps, couldnt access her iMessage, and various other items. When she finally told me about these issues, I started to investigate. I typically dont watch her 100% of the time as to what she is downloading because Ive taught her well and have trust in her. After about a hour of frustrations I finally figured out what happened. When you DL this app, it will ask you to "verify" your Apple ID. Hint, whenever an app asks you to do this, thats not a direct apple product, be very cautious. This app created a device management profile on her phone. Essentially taking control of her phone. They say this is how they "track" your activity. BS. This is how they attempt to steal your info. So if you delete the app and VPN, the app will still track your phone. You have to delete the actual device profile in the settings. Once you do this, you remove the permissions you originally gave the app when you first opened it. Again, be very careful when a 3rd party app asks you to verify your ID. My poor daughter was so upset, thinking she did something wrong. I reassured her she didnt do anything. Its bad people, trying to do bad things to good, innocent people.

DO NOT GET IT!!!!!!!

I warn you its a stupid waste of 1.storage 2.battery 3.TIME Now the VPN keeps turning on. DONT get it I should have looked at the reviews!

Worst

Worst app ever. Never downloading anything by this company almost broke my phone

Scary!!! Dont download!

I downloaded this app to check it out, but then it asked me to download a VPN. I immediately assumed something was up, and so I looked at the reviews. Obviously it wasnt just me who thought this, so I deleted the app without installing the VPN. This could access all your personal info. Please, for your own good, keep your head!!!! This could be dangerous! PS to Apple: Just like pretty much everyone else, Im wondering how did this pass your security test?!?!?

Do not download

This is the most awful app I have ever seen in my entire life the watch what your doing and even after you delete the app they can still see no joke please I beg dont get it

DO NOT DOWNLOAD

Dont get this app ! Its horrible, it never showed the right data it always said I used my phone for 39 minutes a day and I know very well I use it more than that and it wouldnt even be on the right day, I would check it on a Saturday and its still be on Thursday

Not a fan

I downloaded this app thinking that I can use it to find out how long I use apps, you know what its suppose to do but it just didnt work well, first off it asked me for my zip code I didnt think that was necessary and that wasnt a big deal but one thing I couldnt figure out how to get out of the sample, I put in my information and everything and then I was looking around and couldnt do it, as result I dont recommend this app...

DONT DOWNLOAD FRFR

do NOT download this app, it gave me a virus and it wouldnt let me connect to wifi or my data and it created this profile thing that messes up your phone SO DO NOT DOWNLOAD

DONT GET

ITS TAKES AWAY UR WIFI I COULDNT DO ANYTHING WITH WIFI

HATE IT

It stinks! When you delete it, the VPN tracker does not switch off. It does that even if the app is on!

Slows your phone down

Do not get this. It makes you add this VPN setting which tracks all your usage EVEN AFTER YOU DELETE THE APP. Which in turn slows down your phone /: The last review says how to turn it off, bless your soul. Just go to settings > general > VPN > Hooked > connect on demand. That should do it.

So close to getting the app, but...

I wanted to get this app because it seemed like a cool idea, but then I looked at the top and saw that the reviews were only 1 star. I decided to read the comments and saw some horrible reviews. I immediately stopped the download and I should be glad I did. Before getting this app, I advise you to read the reviews and make sure you are comfortable with these features.
