Soundscape: Focus & Deep Sleep
doubtful ratingSoundscape is sold as an app blocker with music for focus and sleep, and for people who finally managed to put the phone down for study and earlier bedtimes it genuinely helped. But the review set is tainted: people openly leave stars to earn free points and premium. On substance they complain it doesn't block some apps like Instagram, glitches and confuses the block status, and without a music subscription ads intrude right into focus sessions.
The sample has no one-star or two-star reviews at all, and several reviews openly admit the rating is written for free points and premium ('It's giving me stars to get premium for free and one of it is reviewing'). Praise is often short and generic, so the high score is partly bought with in-app rewards.
