Subtle Motivator. Great App!
This app has just enough to keep me invested without becoming another distraction.
I think it is best used for a quick was to log tasks for incentives. Tracking times a dates for tasks, reminders and events I leave to my trusty calendar app.

Donโt bother
This is one of those apps that forces you through this long pointless and goofy questionnaire only to be hit at the end with the 7 day trial, itโs gonna be $5 a month after that. I deleted, I canโt stand the fake questionnaire that literally has zero effect on the app experience other than to create some โinvestmentโ on the user end to increase likely hood of payment. Based on that alone I know the app is gonna suck and be an endless money grab.

Probably great for some people.
First of all, contrary to many other reviewers, I think that the annual subscription fee is fair to keep the game advertisement free considering the fact that a solo dev is providing ongoing updates. ~$6USD/month is totally reasonable. That said, the other options get a bit wacky in my opinion. $7 per week shouldnโt be an option. Someone who accidentally leaves a subscription like that running might unwittingly spend over $360 annually, and I think the monthly fee is a bit high, nearing World of Warcraftโs monthly subscription fee.
That said, I ran into some performance issues, and I didnโt always feel like I was being rewarded for completing tasks, which led to a pattern of leaving the timer to run even after I had completed the task at hand.
Once you cross that threshold into running the timer despite inactivity, youโre defeating the purpose of the app altogether, and while I accept full responsibility for my own actions, it became more about trying to manipulate the game into giving me what I wanted than improving my focus.
I used this app on and off for a year, and it was a fun and engaging way to build better habits. The combat in sessions and updated trials in adventure mode were engaging without being inaccessible, and I donโt remotely regret using the app. I also think the newest update sounds exciting, and I might be willing to return at a later date, but as my annual subscription fee is coming up again, I find that the cost, performance issues, and occasional bugs make it difficult for me to justify continuing.
I think this app has a lot of potential, and I think I might recommend it to a certain kind of person, but for general people, I would give it 3/5 stars.

Obnoxiously spammy
Itโs impossible to tell if it even has a free tier. Blocks it until you take the โfree trialโ which you may forget to cancel (this should be the business model of many apps)
Crashes too much
I see the potential here and really wanted to like it. However i did not like the lack of ease for customizing goals. In addition, stopping a goal session froze my phone and it took several restarts of the app to get it working again.
