Weird

Helpful but I deleted for a trip - made me watch a 10 min infomercial to get back in and then wouldn’t let me restore my purchase. Buggy and a little awkward but a good concept.

Best app I’ve ever used!!!

I have lost 20kg by using this app. My screen time has gone down by 80% percent. My parents are showing me love and appreciation me again. I am so grateful for this app it has changed my life forever!

Great concept too much money

Got really excited but then got hit with a paywall, not even a free trial.

Used to be a decent app

This used to be a great app for students. Especially when there was a free plan for students to focus on their work and get it done. However, it looks like times have changed. There is no more free plan than as soon as you get done analyzing the questions that ask you for micro transactions. I understood the main goal of this app was to help students. Get discounts because poor students/college kids can’t afford the world.

Expensive

Made me go through a planning system for 15 minutes then told me I have to pay £30. What a waste of my time.
