    Sean    		 I don't use it but super easy to uninstall. First though I had to uninstall and re install from Google play to leave a review. But to get rid of it just go to the apps info, tap storage usage and clear data and cache. Go back, if there is a "..." in the top right tap it and tap uninstall updates, then tap uninstall. If you want it back either search settings for disabled apps or download it here.

    George Peryer    		 would be perfect if it didn't crash! I'll set it up for a 40, 50, 60 mins or so and when i go back onto my phone it just turns on as normal and seems to forget it was ever running zen space and none of the data is captured. I've opened my phone during the time and at the beginning it works well, reminding me that its active, however half way through it'l just stop working.

    Kenneth King    		 NEVER TOUCH THE ICON EVEN ONCE, IF YOU DO IT CAN NEVER BE TURNED OFF. ZEN MODE IS THE WORST KIND OF BLOATWARE It's impossible to delete or turn off Zen Mode. Zen turns off ALL apps if Zen decides you are using your phone too much. It uses up battery. It sends 10 meg of data out somewhere everyday. It uses up space. It goes against all the reasons I bought a open phone. This is a work phone. I use it all day. I'm not a teenager with self control isues...

    K T    		 Tells me I've been on my phone for hours, when I pick up my phone off dresser when I wake up. Does NOT allow me to turn off notifications or optimize battery for this app, so it keeps putting notifications in the tray and runs in the background, eating up my battery quickly. It won't let me even force stop the app.

    Connie    		 The thing I loved most about One+ was the fact that you don't get buried in bloatware. Then they sneak this thing onto your phone without your knowledge. It has far too many permissions---that the user cannot turn off, btw---and you can't delete the app. Yet another unwanted, unneeded, unwelcome guest on my phone that feels the need to read all the data it finds. One+ has managed to shoot itself in the foot with this thing. Don't want it, but can't get rid of it. Uninstalled the updates, tho.

    A Google user    		 The reason I went with a OnePlus phone in the first place was to avoid garbage like this app. Can't disable, can't delete, locks you out of your phone. I don't see where anyone doing business on their phone would find this useful at all. If this goes forward in later versions, I may have to reconsider my phone choice.

    A Google user    		 Really OP?! I can't disable the app OR its notifications? What could've made you think it would be a sound decision to take away my choice? Rev. Feb 15, 2020: Several updates later, still stuck with this app and its notifications. This is a serious safety issue! What if I need to call for help? Or show a boarding pass? This is the absolute worst idea of all time! I'm rooting now and leaving OP in future.

    A Google user    		 This app is automatically installed (and reinstalled) whenever oxygen OS is updated. It requires root access and something like Titanium Backup to remove it. Even when "disabled", this presumptuous nanny app still throws intrusive notifications at you. It may be useful for some people but a true method for removal should be provided. It should not be thrust upon those of us who do not want it.

    A Google user    		 I don't want this. I can't install this. It keeps creating nonsense notifications about me constantly using the phone while I'm sleeping it working, and it waits hours before the notifications show up. A lot of the options related to notifications are disabled and the ones I can change have already been turned off yet the notifications keep seeing up!

    A Google user    		 This is invasive, involuntary, not uninstallable bloatware. Not what I expect from OnePlus. It also eats battery, takes up space and data, and, if accidentally activated will ruin your ability to use your phone when you need it the most. Will likely be switching to another phone within the next week due to this. It cost me a large construction contract that I was counting on this winter.
