Perfecta para concentrarse !

La app funciona realmente bien !! He conseguido reducir el tiempo de uso bastante que era Justo lo que necesitaba!

Funciona fatal

Hay muchos bugs en general, el bloqueo de apps no funciona, las bloquea para siempre incluso eliminando el bloqueo. Es poco intuitivo, hay que darle a guardar en todos lados y sino se borra la configuración. Ha durado menos de un dia en mi telefono. La app tiene buena pinta pero creo que la han lanzado demasiado pronto, aun le quedan meses de trabajo, es inusable.
