How can we help?

BuyJury helps you avoid buying things you'll regret. Instead of buying on the spot, you put the item on hold, ask your friends to vote Buy or Skip, and decide when the hold ends. Everything you skip adds to your "kept" total.

Three ways: share it from Safari or a shopping app (tap Share, then BuyJury); paste a link on the new hold screen; or choose In store and take or pick a photo for things you see in a shop. BuyJury fills in the name, price and currency where it can, and you can edit any of them.

Some stores block automatic lookups. When that happens, type the name and price yourself. Your hold works the same either way.

48 hours on the free plan. Jury Plus lets you choose 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours or 7 days.

Your companion: a cat or a dog you pick at the start. They keep you company, tell you when friends vote or a hold is up (tap them to hear the news), and meow or woof when you tap them. Change or rename them, and turn their sounds and vibration on or off, in Settings.

No. Tap Ask friends on a hold and share the link anywhere: a group chat, a text or a DM. Friends open the link, tap Skip or Buy, and add their first name. Friends who have BuyJury can also vote inside the app, from Circle.

Yes. They tick Vote anonymously. You'll see their vote and message as "Anonymous"; their name is never saved.

Anyone you share the link with, and anyone they pass it to. A poll shows your first name, the item name, price, image, where you saw it (for in-store items) and time left. It never shows your other holds or your totals. Polls stop accepting votes when the hold ends.

No. Each phone or browser gets one vote per poll, so think before you tap.

Open the hold in the app, press and hold the comment, and choose Report comment. You can also remove or block anyone in your circle from the Circle tab.

In Circle, tap Find a friend and type their @username or the email they sign in with, or send them an invite code. If they use Apple's Hide My Email, ask for their @username instead.

Yes. Turn off Settings → Findable by email.

BuyJury uses Apple's Screen Time framework. When you open a shopping app you've chosen, a pause screen appears first. Tap Close to leave, or Continue to go ahead; after you continue, the app stays open for 15 minutes before the pause returns.

No. Apple keeps your selections private on your device. We can't see them.

Try these in order: open BuyJury → Settings → Paused apps and check it's on and your apps are selected; in iPhone Settings → Screen Time, check that BuyJury still has access; restart your iPhone. Still not working? Email support@buyjury.com with your iOS version.

BuyJury → Settings → Paused apps → turn it off. All pauses stop immediately.

A day with no non-essential spending. Rent, bills, groceries and transport don't count.

You get one rest day each week, used automatically so a single slip doesn't break your streak. If a streak does end, you'll still see your total no-spend days for the year.

No. Friends see only your streak. Your holds, prices and kept total are private to you.

It adds up the prices of items you chose to skip, in your chosen currency. It's an estimate based on the prices recorded on each hold.

Yes. The free plan includes three new holds a month, 48-hour holds, a pause on one app, unlimited polls and votes, the nightly check-in and streak, and two Find it cheaper checks a month. Jury Plus ($3.99/month or $29.99/year) adds unlimited holds, every hold length, a pause on every app, full history and 30 Find it cheaper checks a month.

On a hold, tap Find it cheaper and BuyJury looks for the same item for less at other stores, showing up to three new listings and how much you'd save. It only runs when you tap it, and you can bookmark listings for later.
