### 5/5 — Good visualization and app blocking feature

*2025-10-02*

I like the visualization of how much time is spent in the project, it makes me feel more encouraging by the concept of building a city. And the app blocking feature is brilliant, as far as i know there is no app have the combination.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for this kind review! I'm glad you're enjoying the app and finding it useful :)

### 5/5 — good idea but need improvement

*2025-09-25*

I really like the concept of this app — building a city while staying focused, and I especially like the app-blocking feature. But I think a few improvements would help: add a Pomodoro timer option (not just one fixed range), allow extra bricks from finishing habits so I can keep building, and please let habits connected with focus sessions also earn bricks.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for the feedback! A Pomodoro timer option is definitely on the way, so keep an eye out for that.

Just to clarify, habits connected with focus sessions do already earn bricks. They are awarded once you hit the target goal for that habit. They are not added directly through the focus session itself since that would double-count the bricks earned.

Really appreciate your suggestions, they help shape where the app goes next!

### 5/5 — best app i’ve ever used

*2025-07-24*

holy my productivity skyrocketed after using this app

**Developer response:** Thank you, I'm glad the app is helping you improve your productivity!

### 5/5 — Love the concept

*2025-06-16*

Probably the best idea for a progress tracker app, I like the level of detail you are given for tracking along with time tracking options. Sometimes the scroll wheel for adding progress can feel a little clunky if using a large number, I have one for drinking 128 oz of water daily and I find that it can go up or down by a few numbers when I take my thumb off but for the most part I love it so far

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for the support! I'm really glad you're enjoying the app so far. I’ll definitely look into improving the scroll wheel for larger numbers. Thanks for pointing it out!

### 5/5 — Very helpful and well built

*2025-06-16, version 1.0.5*

This app has helped me manage my habits and track it all, I especially like the fact that you can build a city, keeps me motivated!

### 5/5 — Incredibly well built!

*2025-06-09, version 1.0.4*

The app is a joy to use, it’s intuitive, well designed and genuinely useful. Highly recommend!
