User reviews

Literally didn’t work

The app crashed on me so many times. On to the next!

Great

For the app to be free you have to sacrifice quality but the quality in this app it’s still great taking into consideration that the app it’s free from charges. The break feature doesn’t work for me sometimes but it actually keeps me away from those apps that drain me mentally. Great app, will recommend it to friends and family
I wanted to ask if there’s any updates coming for this app possibly because the app breaks sometimes and I have to redo de challenges but if not it’s still fine because it does it’s job

Limits its self and won’t let me do basic things.

It will not let me set my a schedule to my own times. It will only let me do 59 min. And the schedules it would let me set expire and I have to reset them again… But only 59 minutes. So dumb.

Good app with a downside

Overall it’s a good app. My only complaint is that I cannot invite friends. They can’t accept the challenges. I wish that feature worked.
