- (2022-06-03) Paul Ivanov: Love!
- (2021-10-20) Abraham Cano: Hi Louis, I've just enabled Nudge Chrome extension. However, I primarily use Firefox. Do you/will you have it available? Furthermore, another approach I've thought about is making Facebook look like an old DOS application - more like a BBS - , that can be used with the keyboard. Instead of having tons of images being loaded, you have links. Depending on what YOU REALLY WANT TO SEE, just click on that link of use a user defined hot key combo. Furthermore, this light Facebook app could be installed at your local computer and synced with a Facebook server just to download the info you want from your top contacts. I'm not a programmer (stuck with old Pascal and Qbasic). Or...you may create a new social network - a 2021 BBS. Kudos for it! Thanks!
- (2021-10-20) Rafael Sanchez: Its broken, I installed and cannot configure the sites that I wante to nudge!.
- (2021-09-15) Alex H: Seems like it's broken? In options the toggles don't work. Nothing can be turned on. Under "choose sites", there's just a text field but no button to add anything. Am I doing something wrong?
- (2021-09-05) Evgeny Ilin: Doesn't work. Version 93.0.4577.63 (Official Build) (64-bit). Doesn't save options, all of switches are disabled.
- (2021-06-28) Michał Czubaj: An absolutely essential life-saver (literally). Lately, Chrome has been disabling it for me, saying it violates their terms. But allows me to turn it back on. Huh. Does Google want to get rid of it? Surprising.
- (2021-03-22) Vladyslav D.: Great app, but it's really unstable. Works only 30% of the time. I'm tired of reconfiguring all the options again and again. Also, the buttons in menu stopped working. Developers please, make it work consistently. Update: Just started working again. Don't know the reason why.
- (2021-01-14) Daniel Sýkora: I always wanted app like this. Nudge helps to stay focused. It helps me use the social networks instead of the social networks abusing me and my primitive reptilian brain. Cheers.
- (2020-12-16) Arjun: What's more valuable than your own time?
- (2020-12-07) Olivier Rousseau: Amazing, exactly what I was looking for! Great job
- (2020-10-15) Daksh Dilip Talreja: friendly way to take control of your screen time. A Must Have!!!🤩💯
- (2020-07-14) Andrew Hernandez: Great extension that makes reflex clicking onto websites harder to do! The only improvement I would like to see is customization options for each website. For example, I would like to make Facebook always have the Defaulter and Rainbow Timer 24/7. But for Reddit I just need the Defaulter during school hours, and then have it off during the evenings.
- (2020-06-30) Marcos Piérola: UPDATE: Fixed! The maker was really supportive and fixed the issue promptly. Thank you, everything runs perfectly! ---Old comment---: Hi, this is one of the best productivity extensions I have ever used and would really love to give it a better rating. Unfortunately, I've been having a pretty annoying issue with it. Every time I close Chrome my settings are lost. I would be very grateful if this was fixed and am more than happy to update my rating after that.
- (2020-03-20) Abdelhak: Good extension until it crushed. sadly Nudge is not working any more in my computer. does any one have an alternative??
- (2020-03-16) Dean Salant: Genuinely has cut down my time spent on certain sites, specifically Facebook. It also feels pretty good when I get feedback letting me know that I haven't been on those sites for a long time. Highly recommend this if you want to curb your addiction.
- (2020-03-10) Andrea Casajuana Massanet: Nudge is great. It's a simple and straightforward way to take back some control over how you spend time and attention on the internet. No condescension, no hidden pressures.
- (2020-03-10) Ian Deshays: This app works very well. It's very quick. It's flexible so you can change your own settings to customise it
- (2020-03-09) Judy Engela: Nudge makes me stop and think about what I'm doing. It's like mindful eating -- not a crazy diet where you can't eat anything, but a subtle shift towards better habits and self-awareness. It might be just a slider on a webpage, but it's like super deep, too... yup.
- (2020-02-03) Partnerships At Stance: Amazing app! I've tried so many applications to curb my anxious procrastination but none as comprehensive and effective as this! From color psychology, to creating friction when wanting to start the addicted habit with small inconveniences, I think this is a wonderful app! My gratitude to the developer, A+!
- (2020-01-10) Yingke Z: what an amazing free tool!! Saves me so much time from manually unfollowing everyone. Thank you for creating it!
- (2019-11-21) Aditya Kumar Purohit: The features of the plugin are built upon theoretical principles of behavioural science. A great tool to cutdown the time you spend on social media.
- (2019-09-26) Bojan Ristivojevic: I give it 5 stars for it does great job across the sites that are the great source of distraction for me. I am really happy with the extension. Big thank you! I do want to say that it stopped working on facebook for me. Luckily, I already unfollowed everyone and those few who I added since I could easily unfollow manually, but it would be nice if it started working again.
- (2019-09-04) Jeanne Buffett: Thanks for this! I’ve unfollowed everyone and can now choose whose news I’m interested in catching up on. Thanks! I did notice that the only friend remaining is someone whose birthday it is today. Is that going to push it’s way through? The birthdays? (I’d kinda be okay with that …)
- (2019-09-03) Vidhi Seth: It keeps getting corrupted!
- (2019-04-04) Will: Absolutely love Nudge. Really makes you realise how many times you type in a website like facebook out of habit and steers you back on track. Thanks Nudge!
- (2019-02-20) A.Samuel Moses: this is genius. it attacks the root cause of youtube binge watching-the suggested videos section. great extension. keep developing it
- (2019-02-15) junhao Wang: it works great. Would recommend to everyone.
- (2019-01-23) Dolly Ye: This is the best social media eradicator in chrome web store. The design is super elegant.
- (2018-08-25) Nez Corvid: I really love this. It's helped with my reddit work habit. The only thing I find lacking is a basic scheduler. I wish I could set it to disable for the evening and on weekends. It gets pretty annoying when it's a lazy sunday and I just want to mindlessly watch Youtube vids with my husband.
- (2018-08-19) Vince: Thank you for this app. This is a basic service to society!
- (2018-08-10) Nicolas: Doesn't work anymore on facebook ? I tried to reset the settings but it seems like facebook is deactivating nudge
- (2018-08-05) Guillaume Chaslot: Increases productivity like no other extension. Thanks!
- (2018-07-25) Sam Davyson: I love Nudge. It is beautiful and changing the options is quick and easy. Most importantly it keeps me focused and doing productive things which keep me happy :) Thank you so much, finally the internet is useful again!
- (2018-07-24) Олег Фейло: Thanks for the great extension! New version is very good, but it would be awesome if instead of redirects extension would use some king of popups/modals for pages disabling, because now when enabling YouTube time is lost and video is played from the beginning.
- (2018-07-19) Natasha Salant: I'm really enjoying the updated version of Nudge. The design is super slick and the beautiful photos in place of addictive sites is such a wonderful touch!
- (2018-07-16) Nadya De Angelis: After the last update it's not working properly: for some reason it puts gmail into its own (not mine!) list of "unwanted" sites and though I removed both gmail.com and mail.google.com from this list manually, it still does not let me open it. Very annoying.
- (2018-04-08) Elise Lorteau: Your unfollow action is just MAGICAL. Thanks !!! And I'm sure the rest of the features will be very useful too 8)
- (2018-03-29) Paul Kassar: LOVED IT IT"S SO GOOD
- (2018-03-11) Sam: it really worked! so many things changed for me after installing this addon! now I want something like this app for native apps for my mac
- (2018-03-01) Sam Pope: I have had this downloaded for less than 5mins.... its exactly what people need. Thank you for creating such a great extension!
- (2018-02-23) Júlio Soares: It's been really useful so far, but I cant seem to find a simple user guide or how to undo stuff like "turning off" a website. Some help on this would make this plugin perfect.
- (2018-02-05) Édouard Blondel: One of the only tool to fight screen addiction
- (2018-01-29) Mathieu Planchard: Great extension that really changed the way I use the internet. Nudge will simply allow you to get rid of all the web content that messes with your precious time and brain cells. Essential add-on for anyone wanting to rationalise their internet consumption.
