### 5/5 — The cutest study app ever

*2025-11-17*

Cuteeee

### 4/5 — Terrific!

*2025-09-12*

I’ve been using this timer for a week now, and I love how minimal it is. My only complaint is that the ringing/vibrating for when the timer goes off for the end of study sections and breaks is too short. Sometimes when I’m too immersed in studying (or taking a break) the timer will go off and I won’t hear it. Then I’ll either get too long of a study time and feel fatigued, or I’ll waste time on break. If there could be a timer that would continue ringing/vibrating until you stopped it yourself, it would be perfect! Otherwise, this app is amazing and I feel so blessed to have found it.

### 4/5 — ?🤨

*2025-08-10*

### 5/5 — 治愈型学习猫🥹

*2025-07-18*

好评！！！

### 4/5 — stopwatch option

*2025-07-10, version 2.0.3*

it's probably the cutest study timer app ever, fatty cat is just adorable. but i can't use the app properly since there is no stopwatch option, i hope you consider adding this feature to your free plan. i really believe other people will enjoy to have a alternative study timer! also in case you add a stopwatch feature, it might be good to have a Live Activity Support, which i mean people can track how long they have been studying from the lock screen. i hope you consider this feedback! i can't wait to study with my fatty cat

### 5/5 — Fatty cat app

*2025-06-15, version 2.0.3*

### 5/5 — fatty cat🥹🥹

*2025-06-03, version 2.0.3*

这是我第一次在应用商城写评价哈哈哈，它实在是太可爱了…很好的应用，推荐😽希望你们可以一直走下去

### 3/5 — Stopwatch?

*2025-05-30, version 2.0.3*

I love the interactive interface but when i exit the app whilest a study session it automatically invalidate the time I spent already, so it’s like I didn’t ask you to do that? 
I love the purring and everything gosh and I hope we can have a stopwatch mode,
Also liked the flip and stop feature

### 1/5 — 要给钱，试用的范围内容太小了

*2025-03-25*

改进一下哈

### 5/5 — Best study app ever

*2025-03-16*

The only app that actually helps me lock in. Love that it doesn’t have any sort of social function. It doesn’t make it a game or anything, just locks your phone while you’re studying and motivates you to keep your car alive🐈
