### 5/5 — Best Study App

*2026-07-26, version 3.3.2*

Awesome app! Simple to use, and I’m so incredibly happy about the updates since 2020. It’s the only thing that keeps me focused. Looking forward to see future developments!

### 5/5 — Офигенное приложение

*2026-06-03*

Очень понравилось приложение!
Всегда помогает в учёбе, если раньше я всегда когда училась брала телефон(
То сейчас телефон лежит просто в другой комнате и я даже не отвлекаюсь🙂‍↕️
Не приложение а просто чудо находка!🤍

### 5/5 — советую!!

*2026-04-06*

правда отличное приложение!я бы сказала,лучше из всех мною опробованных ранее.учусь на компьютере,и не отвлекаться на телефон действительно помогает

### 1/5 — Исправьте

*2026-03-21*

Нет аккаунта и синхронизации!!! После случайного удаления приложения, потерялся весь прогресс!!!!!

### 4/5 — I have a question

*2026-03-20, version 3.3.2*

I like the app. It's pretty decent, but the plants have such a high max level, yet there arent that many cool plants and they arent that expensive. I feel like i would spent time growing one plants, and end up with 2000 coins for nothing. I would like more trees like willow, sakura, wisteria, pine, etc. And a few at a much higher price. Lets say 1000, 1500, 5000, and even 10000 so the people who use this for a really long time still have something to be motivated for. Maybe just calculate how long it would take to get those coins, so its not too much. But I think the max being 400 is too little. I would make a one time payment for something like that with increased detail.

### 5/5 — Фокус

*2026-03-16*

Для фокусировки самое то . А еще много красивых деревьев)

### 2/5 — Good app but I can’t get my progress back

*2026-02-25, version 3.3.2*

Worked really hard to get my plants and what not just downloaded the app on my iPad and everything is gone. :(

### 5/5 — Все хорошо,но этот минус…

*2026-02-11*

Дорогие разработчики приложения отличное, правда помогает🌱😊сосредоточится!!! Но когда например ты делаешь уроки и тебе в приложении нужно посмотреть какое д/з то как бы считается что ты зашел в другое приложение и тогда всё сбивается😭.Но вы сделали 30 секунд и это хорошо,но я живу в России где всегда нужен в какое приложение ты не зайдешь нужен VPN  а пока прогрузится VPN когда подключится,пройдёт больше чем 30 секунд. Я понимаю что возможно это мои проблемы 😞.Но пожалуйста можете 🙂 сделать так что когда заходишь в учебное приложение время НЕ ТРАТИЛОСЬ!!!
Спасибо большое за приложение,и понимание!!!🌱💗

### 5/5 — Quality Free App

*2026-02-06, version 3.3.1*

Great free app! Plus $2 to remove ads is super fair. Only suggestion would be to add a egg timer or ticking clock sound to the white noise options.

### 5/5 — Ocena

*2025-11-04, version 3.3.1*

Super poprawia produktywność!!!
