User reviews

does it’s job, but barely

I’d like to start off by saying that the app isn’t COMPLETELY unusable, however, it really pushes it. Firstly, timetables constantly disappear and reappear. Secondly, tasks rarely seem to format properly and often end up being cut off and having tiny text. Thirdly, many features that are present on the website just simply don’t exist on the app. I could list more, but this review is getting long enough.

Terrible

Good riddance to this awful app and site

Firefly saved my life

When I started school as a young boy I was naive in nature and didn’t think that me skipping my maths homework would end my life.

But firefly was an eye opener it showed me the way even more so than my father. It showed me life was worth living because I gained the discipline needed to work at McDonald’s. It punished me by saying tasks overdue in red and made realise the true consequences of not doing my homework.

I now see the light it’s trying to help me become the best version of me, to continue on my fruitful path.

One complaint I do have is firefly is not strict enough because there is no physical punishment. I would really rate this 5 stars if they added some physical punishment.
