Works wonders even with the limited features. Reduced my social media time from hours a day to minutes a day so works as advertised there. However I was hoping to see a push-up unlock feature as advertised online but that apparently is iPhone only at the moment. Still, the forced time limits and breaths are helpful if you mindlessly scroll and want to do something better with your time.
