Great App for Students

Absolutely awesome app! So many free features, user friendly and great for anyone in exams who love to procrastinate! Looking forward to continuing to use this app. 😁

Helps me not get distracted

I often found myself opening an app for a specific purpose only to get distracted seeing the little number of notifications on the top right of app icons. Sometimes, I wouldn’t even accomplish what I opened my phone to do.

Simplifying my home screen has made it so I have access to my most important apps. If I need to use a specific app, I’ll search for it directly; eliminating the potential distractions altogether. Definitely recommend.

Stopped working

None of my apps ever open anymore, opening apps in the car when I desperately need things like maps is hell. I’m constantly going around the app to open things, which defeats the whole purpose and I feel more frustrated than helped.
