It’s a shame as I thought it was a decent concept, but there’s plenty of choice so I will just use other apps instead. ### 1/5 — Nosey App *2025-11-09, version 9.1.4* Didn’t get through the set up. The app asks entirely too many questions. I can’t imagine why my app needs to know that much about me. ### 1/5 — Bad app *2025-10-01, version 7.1.8* U have to pay 40$ for a month Jst for hearing sounds💔 ### 1/5 — Unknown *2025-09-16, version 7.0.5* I did not know that you had to pay for this app. It could be really good if you didn’t have to pay for it. But because of that, it’s just not worth it, to spend $40 a year just to study better. ### 1/5 — Issue *2025-07-26, version 6.0.4* I’m sure the app is very good, but I can’t get past the introduction. I see that the creator actually responds so I feel comfortable leaving a review :) When I try to get past the last part where you can block apps, the app just lags and doesn’t do anything. Just… sits there. Tried waiting for it to load, but it didn’t work. I was excited to try it out so I’ll uninstall and reinstall, please fix this!! ^^ ### 1/5 — Not working iPhone se2 *2025-04-18* I don’t know that it is only me but the app is lagging and sttutering and forcibly shut down every time I starts focus. I told it to the customer service and have done everything the suggested but not working. At first time I purchased, it worked fine but after a few updates it became lagging. I requested refund to AppStore. I hope they would accept my request… I can’t use this app now..I want my money back. ### 1/5 — Spotify Authorization Failed *2024-09-24, version 1.38* I only use Spotify, and after allowing the app access to my account, I’m told authorization had failed. After that, the app continued to insist I use apple music. ### 2/5 — I’m poor *2025-09-28, version 7.1.3* I really wish this app doesn’t have me to pay and I don’t have a Apple Music account or Spotify ### 2/5 — Why do I have to pay? *2025-09-23, version 7.1.0* I used to be able to use this with no trouble but now it’s asking for a subscription. I’m so over this ### 2/5 — Broken blocked apps *2025-05-01, version 3.94* I downloaded it to focus on my studies and it was working wonderfully. But the block apps has stopped working entirely. Sort of annoying as that was the whole reason why I downloaded the app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Pretty good *2026-08-22, version 10.1.55* Helps sleep and rest ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-08-20, version 10.1.55* Helped me lock in to get some personal jobs dove and the music stopped me from getting unnecessarily stressed ### 5/5 — Focus expert *2026-08-19, version 10.1.55* My study timelines got so much better. I covered more, achieved more with zero phone distractions ### 5/5 — Love it! *2026-08-19, version 10.1.55* Amazing detail ### 5/5 — PA school *2026-08-19, version 10.1.55* This definitely helped me get through PA school and be less distracted ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-08-18, version 10.1.55* Want to take back focus and being present with my family. I love apps like this where I can reflect and meditate on nature sounds ### 5/5 — Actually free to use NO SURPRISE “PRO” SUBSCRIPTION *2026-08-18, version 10.1.55* I’ve used many apps in the past to manage my screen time, but a lot of the “pro” features required people to pay. This one doesn’t! ### 5/5 — Amazing!!! *2026-08-18, version 10.1.55* So much better than the “ignore limit” apple offers!! Give it a try ### 5/5 — Nice *2026-08-18, version 10.1.55* Nice ### 5/5 — review for crowns *2026-08-18, version 10.1.55* I love that it’s free and i’m able to be distraction free to get better sleep --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
