This app gives me the best of both worlds: a low stimulation style phone that also has access to all my messaging apps, music and maps. I’ve tried an actual brick phone and it just doesn’t cut it in today’s world. Dp is where it is at. Plus Michael provides efficient and helpful app support for any questions so you can get the most out of the app.

Hey Robyn, thank you so much for the super kind review! 🙂You are so welcome, and that's great we were also able to help out where we could. Love hearing Dumb Phone is giving you that best-of-both-worlds setup where you can still keep those apps handy without the extra noise.Cheers, and enjoy!
Only good for a week
Trent Krim - the independent
Installed and set up and loved it. Found it as a great way to turn my iPhone into a mock dumb phone. The problems stared after a week of use.Essentially, when using the launcher, it’d take me to the app it’s self and show me an add for the premium version. It’d started off as a one off, but has now gotten to the point when I try and open my photos app via dp and all it does is try and get me to subscribe. I’ve now deleted it and will be using a better app. DEFINITELY would NOT recommend.
Thank you for supporting Dumb Phone and we wish you the best with being more mindful when using our phones each day!
This update fixes an issue where the weather forecast wasn’t appearing.
Please consider leaving a kind review if you find Dumb Phone super helpful each day :)
