Moment for iOS will help to overcome the dependence on smartphone

Today, people spend too much time buried in a smartphone screen. This habit stuck so deep that many people do not even notice how long it takes each day gadget, designed, among other things, to make life easier.

To combat the problem, we must first recognize it. And it can be done using the application for your smartphone. Vicious circle? On the contrary, the developers claim that Moment - a real tool to combat depending on their electronic assistant. Let's try to figure out whether this is so, the more that you can install for free.

Certain questions Moment to appear on the stage settings: utility requires too many solutions to help you less likely to turn to smart phones. Firstly, it should always run in the background, otherwise your performance monitoring process will be interrupted. Secondly, Moment requests access to geolocation and is actively using it. I can not refer themselves as people who can not live without checking your smartphone every five minutes, but application successfully made me look at the screen more often to check the remaining charge percentage device. The fears were not in vain: the constant background activity, coupled with the iPhone geolocation discharged faster than it does in the daily working rhythm.

Now directly on Moment opportunities. The app keeps track of your every call to your phone and puts it in a detailed log. Each switch of the screen is fixed. Would have to be fixed while working with the applications installed, but after a day of hard testing it turned out that the Moment can only do this when the English localization of the interface, so the statistics are not collected. We are waiting for an update, but for now, you can always view statistics directly in iOS 9. Open the "Settings» → «Battery». This data is not integrated with the Moment, but in front of you are all regularly used applications and when working with them.

In this version of the application features of the free end, and enhanced features will be available for the money. These include: subscription to access family (1 150 rubles for three months), various limiters and reminders, which will generate you more likely to give up the habit of the smartphone (379 rubles for unlimited access to them). However, these features completely fulfill every ruble laid out for them.

The app will regularly remind you that you are spending too much time in your smartphone. For a real struggle with addiction Moment contains built-in training. They will allow to develop the habits necessary to reduce the time spent on daily gadgets. Geolocation is used to create your regular routes. It will be possible to evaluate them on a map and possibly eliminate unnecessary space. Family Access, in turn, allows you to control not only their time but also the time of their loved ones. For example, to protect children from excessive use of a smartphone or tablet, to remind them of family dinner and much more.

Also in the full version you can set restrictions on the use of certain functions of the device. After a specified time Moment will actively signal that today it's time to finish. It is convenient to deal with too much activity on social networks, or hang in any game.

There is also a version for the Apple Watch. It is used to control its own statistics and indicators for the whole family.

Can we say that the Moment is a useful application? Call it a guaranteed solution is impossible, but with the development of self-discipline and a gradual decrease depending on the gadgets, it can really help. Thus it is better to turn off geolocation in order to conserve battery power.
