### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2025-02-24, version 1.3*

This app does the job easy to use

### 1/5 — All good but No life time subscriptions. 4 stars for that

*2024-04-09, version 1.3*

Should have life time access option.

### 5/5 — Keeps me on time

*2023-02-24, version 1.3*

Before Sloth, I was often late — I veered off track or didn’t do the time math to ensure I wasn’t trying to cram too much to do in too little time.  Sloth is the answer!

### 1/5 — Paid but disappointed

*2023-01-01, version 1.3*

No alarms!!! I thought maybe it was a paid feature, but of the “alarm” options, none are audible. Silent notifications don’t help me, unfortunately.

### 4/5 — 30/30 exile

*2022-04-21*

My old iPad finally gave up the ghost of 30/30, which I have used for several years to keep to my disabled child’s 14-hour feeding/med/water schedule. Along with the pleas of other 30/30 users, I need those features—alarms that will alarm if I close the app on accident, especially—and color to prompt what’s next from across the room at a glance; I need to be able to share the schedule with others; an iPad version would be helpful as well. Till the perfect reincarnation of 30/30 materializes, Sloth just about hits the mark.

### 3/5 — useful app but cant upgrade to pro version

*2022-01-01, version 1.3*

i love the simplicity of this app but apple store seems to have just let me buy the pro version but app isnt actually updating .. not sure how to get it to, and developer website support area is no longer online .. what to do ?

### 1/5 — Won’t even open

*2021-11-12, version 1.3*

The app worked when I first opened it and now just crashes every time I tap it. Can’t even use it, so will be deleting it sadly.

### 4/5 — I Wish the Timer Resets Automatically

*2021-11-03, version 1.3*

I like using the Sloth App, however, i just wish that the timer automatically resets instead of resetting it each time it’s over (every 30 mins i stop, then put on a “rest” timer for 5 mins- while studying)

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2021-10-09, version 1.3*

Absolutely brilliant app. Simple UI to get the job done.

### 5/5 — Good data!

*2021-08-31, version 1.3*

It’s been so interesting to see how I am actually using my time, and to know how long tasks actually take me.
 
Using Sloth has alleviated a level of anxiety I didn’t even know I was carrying. I start my day now knowing that I can get it all done, all uncertainty is gone. 
The timer keeps me focused, and I take more regular breaks which helps my overall productivity!
I love that you can easily add time to a task which informs me for next time, and I love that you can pop items to the top as needed. 
This is a really brilliant app!
