### 3/5 — 作者看看我嘛

*2026-08-26*

密码可以设置复杂密码吗？谢谢，短密码熊孩子会破解。

### 1/5 — 垃圾app

*2025-06-18*

吃相真难看。本来普通会员的功能现在移到pro里面，软件也是做的越来越花里胡哨。恶心😷

### 2/5 — 能不能设置一个专注模式， 目前的功能太死板了

*2024-12-21*

专注模式如果能自由开关最好，而不是非要时间设置。每天app的时间限制可以单天调节最好，目前的功能很离谱，不能设置每天的时间，只能是总使用时间。

### 5/5 — 有史以来最好用的软件

*2024-06-16*

非常喜欢里面的细节功能

### 5/5 — 希望出一个可以改变应用图标或者名称的功能

*2024-04-25*

这样会更隐蔽

### 5/5 — 不怎么样

*2024-02-18*

一上来就要会员

### 5/5 — 支持

*2024-02-14*

有效应对过年期间的熊孩子哈哈哈哈哈
