Is there any way to do that? ### 4/5 — 🥹🫶hedgehogs *2026-06-01, version 4.0.0* The app is rlly good 👍 I just wish there were cuter widgets😭 Also there r some bugs when u do multi device sincs 🤨 ### 5/5 — Review *2026-05-28, version 3.17.0* I love this app! It helps with time management, dividing tasks and keeps track of the time and my to-do list. It’s amazing because it also works when I’m on another app taking notes. When the timer ends it sends a notification which I love! It makes tracking time, progress, and tasks easier to manage and effective in tight schedules. ### 5/5 — Untitled *2026-05-26, version 3.17.0* シンプルで使いやすくとても良いです。広告をぱっと目に入りづらくしている配慮がありがたいです。 個人的に、タイマー中に表示される波のようなエフェクトをOFFにできるようになるとより良いと思います。あとタイマーをセットした時以外で、常時アプリを開いている時はスリープしないようにすることも可能になればより良いです。 ご検討よろしくお願いします。 ### 5/5 — The best study app *2026-05-09, version 3.17.0* The simplest and the easiest app to use and it’s really helpful really recommend it. ### 4/5 — Why don't I have a room? *2026-04-30, version 3.16.5* Excellent application, but all people have a room, but I don't ### 5/5 — Harika🩷 *2026-04-12, version 3.16.5* Çok güzel, arkadaşımla beraber kullanıyoruz. Tek eksisi çalışmalardaki saniyeleri hesaplamaması. Mesela zamanı 33 dakika 10. saniyede durdurursanız 34 dakika olarak hesaplıyor. Ama bu küçük bir detay. Mükemmel bir uygulama 🩷 teşekkürlerr ### 5/5 — Cool app *2026-04-11, version 3.16.5* graet app✨✨✨✨✨✨🌒❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2026-04-05, version 3.16.3* Got me through the IB program absolutely goated app ### 5/5 — Best app ever ! *2026-04-01, version 3.16.2* In my previous rating, I accidentally put 2 stars instead of 5. This app deserves more than a million stars and all the love in this world 🫶🏻❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 ### 4/5 — 課金制度あってもいいんじゃないかな *2026-04-01, version 3.16.2* シンプルで使いやすいです。友達が勉強していると焦るのでとてもありがたいです！！ 広告についてですが、無課金で使えるのもいいと思いますが、課金制度もあったら嬉しいです。広告を誤タップしてしまうこともあって少しストレスなので、広告を見るまたは課金すると広告がつかなくなるような仕様にしてほしいです😣 ### 5/5 — Super *2026-03-31, version 3.16.2* Cok güzel tüm arkadaşlarıma indirttim beraber yarışıyoruz ### 5/5 — Amazing app!!! *2026-03-24, version 3.16.0* The app has every feature you could think of, and it is highly personalizable to your needs and even aesthetic preferences (customizing your timers, your character’s appearance, etc.). The ads are minimal and not intrusive at all. You can send encouraging messages to your friends. It’s really cute and useful! Definitely recommend. My only suggestion is including a color picker for the timers, in addition to the preset palette. \(^o^)/ ### 5/5 — Bakin *2026-03-21, version 3.16.0* AY HARİKA UYGULAMA HEM DERS ÇALIŞ HEMDE ARKADAŞLARİNLA TEMASİ FAKAN HARİKA VE ÜCRETSİZ ### 4/5 — glitchler cok artti *2026-03-06, version 3.15.0* cok sevdigim bir uygulama ancak son zamanlarda cok fazla ekstra süre ekliyor ya da hiç ölçmüyor. ayrica kendimden sildiğim sureler arkadaşlarima silinmemiş görünüyor. ilgilenirseniz sevinirim ❤️ ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Güncellemelerden sonra hatalar oluştu. *2026-06-07, version 4.0.1* Sayaç bazen baslamiyor, gec basliyor, saat ekliyor. Önceden bunlar yoktu ### 1/5 — Not good at all *2026-02-25, version 3.15.0* Totally bad , not even user friendly Ypt is far morr better and modern ### 1/5 — No way to save your streak *2026-01-11, version 3.12.1* Can’t save your streak as said in the title which is really annoying ### 3/5 — Some features to recommend *2026-05-06, version 3.17.0* An amazing app with all the features involved. However, the profile making is a bit limited to individuals with other backgrounds and accessories involved with their appearance. For example. turbans, Headscarf’s, hijabs and other clothing accessories that fit certain people’s appearances. I hope this gets included sooner or later. It was a bit disappointing but other than that, love the app! Unfortunately i had to make a lacking/ unsuitable profile avatar :( ### 3/5 — Timer End Notification is not working *2025-12-19, version 3.12.0* When I use the 25-30 min timer for study and after completing time it is not giving any notification or alarm of time ends. When I check the app manually then only I am able to know that time ended. Please rectify the issue asap. ### 3/5 — Update *2025-12-17, version 3.11.0* Can u make this that we can talk in group? Its hard that i have to chat my friends one by one. Thankyou love you ### 3/5 — notification sound *2025-03-21, version 3.4.4* this app is great but the only problem is the timer ending sound , can u please change it into an alarm which will keep ringing constantly instead of a notification sound which most of the time i am unable to hear when i am in another room ### 3/5 — needs heavy improvements but cute app *2024-04-10, version 1.3.0* this app is super fun and motivates me to study with friends but while using the app here are some major concerns that i have: - whenever you screenshot your code it turns black please allow users to screenshot our codes so we can add friends easier!! Or make friends easily findable instead of having to only scan codes/open links - whenever i close out of the timer screen the timer automatically ends and adds that time to my total studying time, which makes it inaccurate - please add more skin tone options to the 3 that already exist!! More character customization options would be nice too Everything else is super cute, i love the layout and the color themes for the app. I love the charts and data that organizes what i studied. I like how there are minimal ads ### 4/5 — bozuldu *2026-09-02, version 4.4.0* uygulama cok guzel ama her seferinde calistigim sureyi silmis mi ya da eklemis mi diye kontrol etmek zorunda kaliyorum lutfen buna bir cozum bulun ### 4/5 — Best study app out there *2026-07-28, version 4.2.0* First off, everything is completely free. No add every two seconds, just one on the home page that you can hide by optionally watching it. Second, the friend option is so neat!! You get to see your friends study time an cute avatars and even send messages to them. Third, the timer is minimal and not distracting, and comes with ambient noises (optional as well!). You can keep track of your progress, what classes you’re studying for, and so much more. Your probabky wondering why I gave it 4 stars with such an amazing review. Well, it now had this new ai feature called study compass. I have not clicked on it yet and will not ever. With such a creative app I am kind of disappointed they would use ai here. It’s one of the main reasons I used this one, because there was no ai. At least it’s optional as well, but I recommend maybe adding a feature where you can hide certain features on “my page”, as maybe someone (for example) doesn’t use the streak so they want to hide it, or only uses the streak so they hide everything else. But overall, it’s a great app and i definitely recommend it. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 🫶💕 *2026-09-03, version 4.4.0* One of the best apps for studying, it contains a lot of features that help you to study in the way u prefer, i like it sm! 🌟☺️ ### 5/5 — Perfect App! *2026-08-29, version 4.4.0* This is the best study focus app ive come across so far i have had zero issues using it .It has everything i was looking for in a study focus app as a student.The ads aren't in your face and so they arent annoying .I love all the little features especially the way you can track what you have studied when and how long for.The challenge and goals feature is also very motivating and i like how you can see yours and your friends goals.Its a cute app aswell and isn't overwhelming so i really recommend it .Keep it up Developers! I cant wait to see what is in store for the future!😁 ### 5/5 — الافضل 🫡 *2026-08-22, version 4.3.0* 🫡🫡🫡 ### 5/5 — Harıka bır uygulama *2026-08-22, version 4.3.0* bu uygulama sayesınde arkadasımla yks bırıncılerı olduk gercekten cok memnunuz ### 5/5 — 今一番お気に入りの勉強計測アプリです❕ *2026-06-30, version 4.0.2* 友達と一緒に使っていて、お互い勉強し始めた時の通知がやる気スイッチになってます！ 自分好みでカスタマイズ出来るタイマーや背景が可愛いですし、1日1回長めの広告を 観たら24時間広告無しで利用できてとても使いやすいです。 作業中に環境音BGM流せるので周りの音が気になる時助かります。 私のお気に入りは焚き火です🔥 パチパチとした音が癒されます。 アイコンの着せ替えも増えてお楽しみ要素もあり可愛いです。 最近ベータ版で他の端末と連携できるようになり、外出先で他の端末を使っていたので同期できて助かりました。 まだベータ版で同期が完全な状態では無いので以下の点注意してください！ ①友達の連続記録が別端末の記録に上書きされてリセットされる。 ②タイマーの設定が異なると混ざってしまう。 今後のアップデートも楽しみにしています！ ### 5/5 — zzaa *2026-06-22, version 4.0.2* that’s really perfect and amazing,,!!!♥️❣️❣️ ### 5/5 — ... *2026-06-05, version 4.0.1* .. ### 5/5 — Amazing App *2026-05-31, version 4.0.0* This goes down as the best app I’ve used for studying, it really motivates me to do more ### 5/5 — I don’t normally write reviews but… *2026-05-30, version 4.0.0* I applaud the creators of this app 🌙This app is Amazing!!
