Ruined it by updates
I’ve had this app since around the time it came out and it used to be my absolute go to for studying and now… It’s just not good anymore and they try and force you to buy subscription etc and looks really tacky now.
More friction, more expensive
I loved this app when I started university years ago. In the last few years the developer has made it significantly worse, to the point I really dislike using it. I’ve deleted it, and moved on to other apps.
1. In their quest to gamify the app, they’ve added several mandatory “rewards” screens you have to click through after every single timer runs out. It’s annoying, and cant be turned off. I used this app to help me focus on studying more efficiently, this adds friction and wastes my time.
2. The price. The subscription is ridiculously expensive for a timer app.

I got scammed..
I bought this app a couple years ago to help me focus and close apps when i needed it too but know i have to pay for a subscription which is infuriating its like taking a thing away from me i initially paid for..
Unintuitive mindful resent whatever that non tree part of the app is
I realized i has to HOLD the stop button or something. There was no obvious X to get out of that screen and back to my forest or tree of even the left pane. Please for the love of god put a permanent navigation tutorial for that section of the app if the design was on purpose so that i know how to plant again and not trap myself inside the mindful part of the app.

Disappointing Update
Used this app for several years, however this recent update is excessive, it defeats the purpose of ‘focusing for productivity’ by making you click and choose several different options now to re-plant. Very disappointed.
