App loading crashes started 2/1/24

I love this this app!
But I started noticing It is crashing on my iPhone even after restarts!

It started on February 1, 2024 after a timed session. I had to restart my phone. Delian’s re install it and as of February 3 it still will automatically crash close and not function.

Is anyone else having this issue and is the Developer aware if it!?

Thanks

Perfect for visual ppl!!!

I haven’t been in real school for a while, so I had to find a way to get back into study mode and I believe this app is it. I am a first year dental student and seeing the blocks and being able to see how much I have accomplished and that keeps me going! Thank you to the developers of this simplistic, efficient app! Bravo Zulu!

Major progress!!

This is an app that’s a visual display of your progress. Blocks of time, goals, organized with categories in different colors makes it a personal goal getter app. So nice!

Still a great app, but misleading now.

I was glad to see the app added a pro “option”. I would be happy to support the developer, (if you remember me Stefan I contacted you shortly after you released Block & Flow as a fellow dev,) and it would make total sense if the upgrade offered more features.

Sadly, it’s misleading. Pro isn’t an “option” that is “offered” as per the description- it is now a “necessity” that is REQUIRED. You can’t even try a single block without paying. I felt the earlier version in which one had to pay to access history or history over X days, whichever it was, and possibly to use iCloud or export their data, (it’s been awhile so I might be mistaken on the latter,) was fair and reasonable, and it’s still a really nice little app- but I’m sad to see how misleading the description is now- if I recall you live outside of the US, but it’s a law here that you need to clearly state if a purchase, (outright or subscription,) is required to use a product, along with whether it’s a one time fee or a subscription, and depending on the state you also need to list the actual cost to the user. (Not including tax, provided you specify “plus tax” or similar.)

I am going to subscribe for 1 year when I post this in order to support you as a developer. I feel you and this app have promise as I told you when I reached out years back- but I sincerely hope you will work on the app some more in order to provide a free basic version and a paid version, or else improve it further as you state the subscription money is supposed to support more development. Please change the description to be honest- Apple isn’t going to pull the app unless someone directly brings it to their attention, and you’ll be able to get it back up just by changing the description to include a disclosure a purchase/subscription is required to use the app, as there’s no free/basic version any longer- but I hope you will fix this yourself prior to that happening as it’s dishonest.

Good luck to you, I really hope you’ll take this to heart- your all does have a lot of promise.

Unusually pleasing app!

V intuitive and easy to use, plus visually appealing interface that succeeds in motivating me to work more by seeing my work and progress visualised! Handy features for capturing detailed data for workload audits/billing too!
