Great app. Very helpful

Great app. Organisation aid, word counts and other features allow me to keep on top of things making it more easier for me. Essays made easy.

Error

It used to be a good app, but now it does not work, and a grey-blank screen appears every time I open it.

Amazing app but is no longer working

This is an amazing app and I love it for how much it helps me with my essay writing and time management. However, I updated the app this morning and it is now no longer working. Upon opening, the screen turns grey and fails to respond. I’m upset about this and hope it can be fixed because I love this app!

LOVE IT!!!

This app is perfect for anyone who has ADHD or finds it hard to reach deadlines and organise their time. The amount I have to write is realistic and it makes writing a habit rather than a chore. It’s genuinely a time frame I can fit into my life everyday without dreading it, as well as getting the job done. I don’t feel like deadlines are looming over me anymore. THANK YOU FLOAT!
