Hi Bonsweeswee- It's really great that you want to use Erika beyond the three sessions/week and I'm really sorry to hear our payment plan doesn't work for you. We don't unfortunately have the option of being completely free app/service - we need a revenue model to exist as a company and make Erika available. You are right it's about getting that balance right to include as many Erika users as possible - which is really hard and not decided upon lightly. We carefully created a free plan that is designed to serve three after-school homework sessions of the week, which our data shows serves most of our users' needs. The Plus plan has then been set at a pricing level that is not much more than a cup of coffee per month, that gives unlimited sessions, scheduling, usage limits, friend Battles and profile personalisation. Brand rewards for Erika Plus users are even coming soon too. There are a lot of fantastic features and so much value in Plus. I totally understand though that not all users have access to payment and that's why we offer a free version. THANK YOU for your feedback that you think the Free pan is insufficient. We'll absolutely use this feedback to help the product build and development which we review continuously. Thank you again for your feedback and we hope to keep you as a valued user today or in the future. Regards, Nick, Founder
It was once good..
… That was until they limited the study sessions to 3 times a week. Just a few months ago, they had unlimited sessions with an Erika unlimited option which gave actual rewards for studying - which seemed totally fair and worth it - I was even considering getting it when I was older. However it seems the developers of Erika, just like so many others, felt that the money they were receiving from that wasn’t enough. Could they not have used advertisements, like many other apps, instead? I am so disappointed - I loved this app and got so excited when I was going to study because I knew I was saved from distracting apps that I couldn’t uninstall. Instead of studying, I’m having to write this review and stop other poor students wasting their time on this app. Thank you for the brief time it was actually useful - looks like I’m going to waste even more time finding another app that can do this but without charging me. Yippy.

Hi Hollz:3. It's really great that you want to use Erika so much and I'm sorry our payment plan doesn't work for you. We don't want to run Ads for our Unplug feature because its counter intuitive to what we want to achieve, as you'll appreciate. ie. watching an Ad before you unplug isn't the right fit. We have to have a revenue model to be able to offer your the app services, otherwise we can't exist and so we've created a free plan that is designed to serve three after-school homework sessions of the week, which our data shows serves most of our users' needs and then a Plus plan set at a level that is not much more than a cup of coffee per month, that will give you unlimited sessions, scheduling, usage limits, friend Battles and profile personalisation. Brand rewards for Erika Plus users are even coming soon too. We think its great value and have worked hard to ensure it's at the right level. Erika Plus has a 2 week free trial period too, so please do give it a go? Thank you again for your feedback and we hope to keep you as a valued user. Regards, Nick

Oh no Chirpybird141! We'd love you to come back. Our free plan offering three unlimited-length sessions a week is designed to serve three after-school homework sessions of the week, which our data shows serves most of our users' needs. It's great that you are using Erika much more than this. At £5.80/month Erika Plus has been carefully set at a level that is not much more than a cup of coffee per month and will give you unlimited sessions, scheduling, usage limits, friend Battles (coming soon) and profile personalisation. Brand rewards for Erika Plus users are even coming soon too. We think its great value and have worked hard to ensure it's at the right level.
