Super helpful—especially if you have ADHD!
This is an incredibly fun way of helping me to stay focused, and prevent me from compulsively checking my phone when I’m completing boring tasks. As someone with ADHD, this has been invaluable! Not only do I use it to prevent me from checking my phone while completing tedious tasks, but as a way to help me race against the clock. I set the timer in the app that I need to focus for before my alien hatches, and then challenge myself to complete the task before my time runs out. This turns the tedious task into a game, and has helped me to complete tedious tasks in less than half the time it would take for me to complete them if I didn’t have this app! The baby aliens are absolutely adorable, and I love making a game out of collecting all of the different aliens! This game is not only a great way of preventing you from compulsively checking your phone, but is also an amazing time saver and productivity tool, because it not only prevents you from compulsively checking your phone, but it also helps you get twice as much done with your day than you otherwise would by giving you a fun goal to reach (collecting the alien) by racing against the clock. This an awesome app for anyone, but especially for someone like me who has ADHD, this app has been invaluable! Highly recommended!

Change
I used to play this game a lot with my family. I remember playing it when there was a leaderboard and you had points for how many creatures you hatched. The developer seemed genuine and would communicate with their users. I don't know what changed, whether the app was sold or the developer gave into corporate greed, but suddenly the leaderboards were gone and my scores/inventory was reset. I was willing to give it a chance and really tried but noticed that, even when hatching multiple 2 hour eggs, I wouldn't get more than the 3 star rarity (the purple creatures). I tried for months but continued to only get purple animals. I then realized that there was now a subscription option. As soon as that realization struck, I started to distance myself from the game and eventually dropped it. I'm only writing this because I finally deleted it off of my phone after many more months of simply looking at an app that once was, an app with potential. Thank you for the memories, but I wish it didn't come to this :/

Response from developer
Glad you're enjoying it, and congrats on the elite Sheepsy! They are super-rare. I added one back to your zoo, thanks for getting in touch.
😝
I love hatch!!!! It helped me so much with helping me to focus on my studies, homework and piano practises. It truly motivates me to work hard until the timer runs out. And best of all at the end you get to his adorable creature and there’s a whole lot to collect. PLEASE DOWNLOAD THIS
Lowkey overrated
Don’t get me wrong, I like the app structure. I like how it’s a hatching game and how longer sessions give you rarer pets… but I hate the other features. First, no breaks. I get that some people might ask, well why can’t I just use the focus timer as a break? For me, it doesn’t provide the same satisfaction because I get a egg as a reward while the break IS supposed to be the break. Plus, this also unmotivates me as it makes me collect eggs faster (will quit this timer after collecting all pets). Second, the radio from the tutorial is nowhere to be found. Third, I hate how there’s no settings, no toggle, NOTHING. Fourth, there’s no alarm. Even if I finish my session, I can’t detect that I did because it doesn’t signal me. This brings me to my fourth issue, it deletes my timer when I return back to the app. Sometimes, I like to check the alarm to see how much time I have left after a assignment is finished. Well, I did just that, and I got JUMPSCARED by a void cutscenes with LOUD sounds (I have heart problems, don’t do me like this). This is SUPER annoying and is the reason why I’m quitting this app. Overall, this app barely even has the bare minimum.

Very good app!
The amount of times this encouraging app has put me on the right track is astonishing. I really don’t even know how I got alll my work done on time without it! (Spoiler: I didn’t😂)
Only recommendation is maybe some Lofi music or something? But other than that, really good app!
