Also, the pomodoro is really helpful during long study sessions as it helps pace yourself and take breaks. The music and ambience sound features are a lovely addition. My only ‘but’ is a BIG one for me. The statistics feature, which is something I was super excited about so I could see all of the time I spend studying and on different categories, it stopped working about two months into my subscription (which is about to end) and has not yet been fixed. I understand that apps and coding is complex but I really want this feature to work, especially if I was to keep using this app which I would like to but if I have to pay again, I would like it to work fully. The customer service has been pretty good at responding to my messages but unfortunately the team hasn’t been able to fix the stats… I hope I can either get a discounted renewal or this feature can be fixed by the time I have to renew. ### 5/5 — Perfect study *2024-10-18, version 4.23.3* Perfect app. Helps me organize and be aware of my progress. So that i have better planning. The support team answer to my requests which is a good experience of the app ### 4/5 — Was really great until everything stopped working *2024-10-15* I’ve been using Flipd for a few months now. i originally got it for the timer feature. After I had used it a few times I really enjoyed it a lot and it really helped me stay focused. I liked the variety of music or white noise options there were. I decided to buy premium lifetime so I can unlock every feature and have access to all the music and timer options. That was great and all, having all of the features. But after about two months of having premium and using it, it just randomly stopped working one night when I went to go do schoolwork. it said I was offline, I wasn’t able to use any of the features expect for the timer. I wasn’t able to listen to any of the music stations. I wasn’t able to study with anyone else. I couldn’t even edit my account settings/change my name. Everything stoped working. I tried restarting my phone, disconnecting and connecting my internet. I even signed out of my account, and that was a big mistake. It won’t let me sign in, even using the same email. No matter how many times I do it, it won’t work. I can’t even create a new account, it says there’s an “Error” and to contact support services, which I did. And they didn’t answer. I’m not sure if there’s something i did wrong or if the app is bugging out. But I don’t suggest paying the 100 dollars or a subscription if it’ll just break on you like that. **Developer response:** Hi there, Thank you for your feedback and for being a loyal user of Flipd! I’m sorry to hear about the trouble you experienced, especially after enjoying the premium features. We’ve since resolved the issue that caused these interruptions. We’d love for you to give it another try and see if things are back on track. If you need further assistance, feel free to contact our support team via in-app support or at info@flipdapp.co. We appreciate your support, and if you’re happy with the resolution, we’d love for you to reconsider your rating. 🙏 ### 2/5 — Does this still work as it used to? *2024-10-15* I had this app perhaps 2 or 3 years ago. Didn’t use it much. Trying to get back into it, but it seems to either be chock-full of bugs or perhaps it’s no longer being popular supported. I’m unable to make a Flipd profile because it won’t let me pass the last step. I can’t load up any music or sounds when studying within the app, and data isn’t tracked in the stats section. The widget on my home screen doesn’t update either. At this point, all the app is is a glorified timer. This isn’t to mention that, of course, I can only set a timer/stopwatch to a max of 40min without paying. Sort of ludicrous. I remember enjoying using this app in the past, with the various sound effects and being able to see how many people are studying my concurrently. Now it’s seemingly a shell of its former self. Forest may be a good alternative I’ll return to. **Developer response:** Hi, Thank you for being a long-time user of Flipd! We’re sorry to hear about your recent experience, and we’ve addressed the issues causing these bugs. The app should now function more like you remember, with improved features and fewer interruptions. Please give it another shot, and if the updates enhance your experience, you can reach out to our support team for any additional help via in-app support or at info@flipdapp.co. We’d love for you to reconsider your rating. We hope to continue supporting your productivity! 😊 ### 5/5 — Absolutely Amazing!! *2024-09-21, version 4.23.3* Finally an app that will help with setting goals, having study-like music, and timing your study sessions for free! Yay! I love it!! ### 3/5 — Timing Issue *2024-09-03* I love the app! However I have had a huge issue where I cannot change the maximum amount of time allowed in stopwatch, maximum 40 minutes? It is not that great… **Developer response:** Hi Layla, thanks for your feedback! Indeed, the maximum time is 40 minutes in the free version. The premium version will allow you to set more timers without a limit of times. Please get in touch via in-app support by sending a message to info@flipdapp.co. I will see with the team if we can arrange something for you. ### 5/5 — Omg I love it so much!!! *2024-06-10* All about this app is perfect! You can listen music, go in groups, save your time pass studying and even lock your other app! This app is perfect and help me concentrate. If english is not your first language you can still easily understand and use this app. Thank you🤩 **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback!❤️ Making you more productive is our mission 💪 And if English is not your mother tongue, I have good news for you: more languages will come soon (French, Portuguese, Spanish, ...) 🔥 ### 5/5 — Absolutely Love ☺️🩵 *2024-05-29, version 4.23.3* Larry just start off by saying I have never in my whole 30 years of life taking time of my day to write a review what that being said this app has made a huge difference in my life and I’m beyond thankful for it 🩷😊 ### 5/5 — Best Time Tracking App Available *2024-05-23, version 4.23.3* I absolutely love the Flipd time tracking app! The interface is stunningly beautiful and incredibly user-friendly, making it a joy to use every day. One of my favorite features is the collection of study sounds, which helps me stay focused and productive. Compared to other time tracking apps I've tried, Flipd stands out as the best by far. It seamlessly integrates into my routine, providing both functionality and an aesthetically pleasing experience. Highly recommend it to anyone looking to enhance their productivity! ### 5/5 — Good aim but brutal execution *2024-04-08, version 4.23.3* Just so so so many little bugs I had my hopes up but so many glitches in scheduling work times into the calendar or into the pie chart or just glitches in allocating study time to the times in the day you actually studied Getting random numbers of study time for like 72 hours in a day when u logged 2 and things of the like Support team is literally unreachable which is frustrating ### 5/5 — My favourite app. *2024-03-18* This app is my favourite app for studying. I enjoy it so much. It is very convenient and intuitive. A comfortable, pleasant interface, a lot of different things that can be done, music that really sets you up for work and the internal atmosphere of the application - all this maximizes the mood and quality of learning. This application is on my list of the most necessary for self-development. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback!❤️ Making you more productive is our mission 💪 ### 3/5 — I really love this app but *2024-02-22, version 4.23.3* I love this app. It gives me so much motivation to study and it keeps me focused. But recently I have been left stuck on the loading screen indefinitely which is beyond annoying. I want to love this app but if I can’t even use it it’s kind of difficult ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Poor poor poor *2025-12-08, version 5.0.1* This is an extremely poor app. I paid for premium but was offered nothing different from the free version instead, I am being edged to pay more for more features while I am yet to get any value for the one paid. I raised a query through support and it’s been 4 days and no response. ### 1/5 — Super expensive *2025-09-19* Should have a student discount because as a uni student this is crazy! I want to do a one time purchase but as a full time student paying over 150 is insane for an app. Lower the price. ### 1/5 — Scam *2025-02-08, version 4.24.4* You have to pay for everything. And it’s not even amazing stuff. If everything was included for free, it would be half decent. I’ve had to move to StudyBunny. ### 1/5 — Trop chère *2024-12-08* L’abonnement est vraiment trop chère et l’application ne propose pas d’autres langues. **Developer response:** Bonjour, nous offrons une formule annuelle très attractive par rapport à nos concurrents. Une autre bonne nouvelle est qu'une version francophone est en cours de préparation et sera disponible avant la fin de l'année. N'hésitez-pas à revenir nous voir. Bonne journée. ### 1/5 — Error *2024-10-15* The app just stopped working on my phone and iPad suddenly. **Developer response:** Hi, Thank you for sharing your experience with us, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you faced. We’ve recently resolved the technical issue, and the app should now be working as expected on all devices. Please give it another try, and if you continue to experience any issues, you can reach our support team via in-app support or at info@flipdapp.co. We truly hope this will improve your experience, and we’d be grateful if you could reconsider your rating if the issue is resolved. 😊 ### 1/5 — impossible d’utiliser *2024-10-15* bug sur toutes les plateformes (ipad, téléphone) impossible de se connecter/créer un compte/envoyer un message au support un message d’erreur s’affiche … **Developer response:** Bonjour, Merci d’avoir pris le temps de partager votre retour. Nous sommes vraiment désolés pour les problèmes que vous avez rencontrés. L’incident technique a été résolu et vous devriez pouvoir accéder à l’application à nouveau. Nous vous invitons à réessayer et à nous contacter via le support dans l’application ou par email à info@flipdapp.co si vous avez encore des soucis. Nous espérons que votre expérience s’améliorera et, si c’est le cas, nous serions ravis si vous pouviez réévaluer votre note. 🙏 ### 1/5 — всё платно *2024-08-04* сразу 9к просит ### 1/5 — When are we getting new music? *2024-02-13, version 4.23.3* Great app. Needs new lofi music and I’ll change to 5 stars ### 1/5 — Forcing people to buy just to pause the timer? *2024-01-09, version 4.23.3* This is unacceptable. You don’t allow free users to pause more than once while on a timer? And you only allow limits of 40 minutes at a time when free apps have it unlimited? That’s wrong. And I have verified myself your so called “ real time studying together” people count is fake……why do you have to use fake numbers? It destroys the credibility of this app I refuse to use a focus app that is locked behind paywalls that should naturally be free for everyone. You developers should be ashamed of yourselves for trying to take advantage of people who seek to improve their lives. Shame on you!!! ### 1/5 — Shouldn’t be forced to pay *2023-12-03, version 4.23.2* It will not let you try the app unless you pay. The description as to what the app does is not very clear until you’re in. I paid the monthly only to find this app might not be for me. THE GOOD REVIEWS ARE FROM MANY YEARS AGO!! Avoid my mistakes and dont get this app if you’re not looking for a fancy timer! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love this App! *2026-04-04, version 5.0.1* This is a great app it is now my favorite studying app. It has helped me to focus and buckle down and study! It has also helped with my short attention span my favorite feature is being able to study with other people in the silent study groups. Download it! You won’t regret it great for college students. ### 5/5 — Arabic language *2026-01-15, version 5.0.1* could you make flipd availbale in Arabic language ,there is abig society of arabic users and groups ### 5/5 — Beautiful!! *2025-11-20, version 5.0.1* An app I wish I had created. Absolutely amazing and beautifully simple!! ### 5/5 — LOVE this app!!! *2025-09-27, version 5.0.1* I’ve been using flipd for years now and have loved it since downloading!! I prefer the pomodoro method of studying and this really helps me to stay motivated. I love the feature that blocks your other apps and tells you that your timer will end if you click out of the app. I really recommend this if you need to study or concentrate on a task for a specific amount of time. ### 5/5 — NGL, game changer! *2025-09-26* I always feel like I’m not really doing anything worthwhile, even tho I’m studying, but by being able to track my study time and different tasks, I feel a lot more motivated to actually sit down and work because there being a numerical value to the endless hours of homework makes be like excited to see the effort I put in. Also but sharing with friends I feel more help accountable because we know how long each other studies for. Love its benefits and the app itself is super enjoyable to use with music, different timers and categories etc. 100% recommend!! ### 5/5 — I love it *2025-08-22, version 5.0.1* This app has been an incredible companion in my studying journey. It’s simple, effective, and has truly made learning much easier and more enjoyable. I really appreciate all the value it provides. One feature I’d love to see in the future is a web version for Windows — it would make the experience even more accessible and convenient. Highly recommended! ✨ ### 5/5 — Helpful *2025-03-31, version 5.0.1* Work gets done ### 5/5 — Love it *2025-01-22, version 4.24.4* I love this so much. It’s the perfect way to stop procrastinating and get your work done and the music. It has is so relaxing. It’s the perfect app. I love this so much. ### 5/5 — Great for tracking time studying *2025-01-01, version 4.24.4* I love this app for tracking my time studying throughout the day. Since I am usually able to have small study sessions at a time, this helps me track the total time I’ve spent studying even if it’s only five minutes at a time. This app is helpful to me as I want to hit weekly study goal of a certain amount of hours. My only issue is the premium version being just a little bit too expensive with too little to offer for it. ### 5/5 — Love/ Room for new features *2024-11-11, version 4.24.3* Improve my focus and got me finishing my tasks without distractions!!!! I wish the app has somekind of "wrap-up" features where we can share our stats through out a period of time (like how they do with spotify) to friends on other social media. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
