This was the app I NEEDED!!!!!

I have been looking for an app that would block me from randomly picking up my phone and scrolling through tiktok or instagram when I’m bored after 5 minutes of studying.

I would try and use the time limit function that Apple allows you to access through your settings but you can just click ignore limit (which I would often do) but this app does not give you the option to bypass the warning and keep doom scrolling. Thank you so much to the creators of this app! I have just started nursing school and exams are quickly approaching and this has saved me from being distracted and picking up the phone.

I did have some technical difficulty connecting my Spotify to my account but I will try again that is such a minor issue especially because the app also offers its own concentration music.

This is a truly great app that I will be recommending to others. I’ve tried other study and focus apps like promodoro or however you spell it and they were okay but I was really looking for the app blocking function which I have finally found!!!

Thank you a million times over to whoever created this app. I hope you always have an amazing day and your pillow is always cold at night <3

Great app

Love the features and that it’s free. I just don’t know if I can turn off the music to listen to my own.

Error: authorization failed

This app is awesome and im sure im missing out on so much by not being able to link my spotify account with it. I do have spotify premium so I dont really understand why its giving me this problem. I tried closing the app and seing if i had the latest update which I do by the way, but yet I still keep getting the same problem. And don't get me wrong this app's got potential, its a bummer I can't listen to my kind of music which is Jazz.

Best apps to stay productive

one of the best apps to stay productive, while also listening to some calming music, besttttt part is from all the apps i’ve downloaded, there’s no paid subscription for extra features. everything is super user friendly. and most importantly, YOU CAN BLOCK USAGE OF YOUR APPS!!!!!! i open my phones n start texting by mistake and with the block feature it shows me a reminder that i’m supposed to be studying. honestly awesome app hope it stays this way!

Thank you for the fantastic review and five stars! /Emma

Genuinely love this app!

As a full time university student, my phone is my biggest distraction when it comes to studying. Soundscape has genuinely helped me so much to stay focused and has absolutely transformed my studying! I love being able to play focus music through the app. It actually motivates me to be productive and study as I’m able to approach studying in intervals with rest breaks! Love all the features, it’s amazing. If you’re in high-school or a university student I would highly recommend this app!🤗

Spotify Authorization Failed

I only use Spotify, and after allowing the app access to my account, I’m told authorization had failed. After that, the app continued to insist I use apple music.

Response from developer

Update: The Spotify issue should be resolved as of version 1.43. Please update your app and try connecting again. If you still encounter any issues, don’t hesitate to reach out. Otherwise, we would greatly appreciate it if you could reconsider your rating. Thanks again for reporting the issue and bringing it to our attention. //Emma Original response: Hi there, would you mind updating to our latest version (1.41) and giving it another try? The error you’re experiencing is often caused by one of the following 1) A poor internet connection 2)Cache issues in the Spotify app (which can often be resolved by restarting Spotify) 3) A temporary outage with Spotify’s services. If the issue persists, please feel free to contact me directly at support@1kstreams.com, and I’ll be happy to assist you further. P.S. Even though the Spotify link didn’t work this time, I hope you found value in using our local streaming alternative. If so, we’d really appreciate it if you could consider updating your review. 😊 // Emma

Good content but irritating to use

I enjoy the actual content on this app, the soundscapes are very nice to listen to and i do feel aa though they help me study.

However, every time a session is over it feels like three different screens pop up to tell me about a badge that I have to claim and do I wanna share my session on ig or somethin like that. little roadblocks that just make the actual using experience the opposite of streamlined. Id prefer to just go to the album of soundscapes in apple music than use the app
