Great app to stop me checking my phone when I should be doing other things, and growing a little forest adds a bit of positivity to the day. It's well worth the small price to go premium. One small complaint: the focus challenge (admittedly in beta) seems pretty broken. Most of the time, completing the challenges doesn't register. I find this kind of gamification quite helpful, so it's a bit disappointing that it isn't working.

Been using this app for over 10 years and I'm now saying goodbye. It was a great app with cute art and new features that made it even more fun to use. But for such a simple app, it's riddled with bugs that render it unusable for weeks and these are not acknowledged by the creators. Between radio silence on the bugs, AI images, and how they're trying to get users to subscribe to a premium model...I'm out. They need to work on lag, crashes, and bug fixes.

I like the app. All I really want is a way to track my study time. The UX has some rough edges such as slow page loads, video ads appearing without warning (which is jarring), and the same free unlockable item repeatedly re-locking. All annoying but forgivable. I paid for the pro version, which solves the ad issue. Now there seems to be a missing setting. I can't find the setting to turn off counting additional time after the timer ends. This should be easy to adjust after each session!
