one with the ants

this app is genuinely so useful, i love the concept and design. and when i do go outside to take a pic of grass just to get back on my phone, i end up enjoying nature and spending a while off of my phone. the setup and aesthetics of this app is also just so pleasing and another one of the reasons this app isn’t annoying. thank you so much for making this cause it’s genuinely what i needed ;)

Finally!

This is the app of my dreams! All the blocks of telling me to take deep breaths or having me do math don't work because they're too easy! Having to actually get up (*even if it's to go to a window and cheat to take a picture from there, more on it later) and move around gives me the time to be less of a zombie. it's the most accountable i've been with my phone!

Only complaints: it's a little faulty, as expected! Like mentioned, it will register grass from a second story window when I'm feeling like a slacker, but i can be touching the only patch of green plant in my front yard (mint) and it doesn't count. Not a big problem, i just man up and go across the street to freak the neighbors out by touching their lawn instead but worth mentioning, along with that i love to add how poor i am and how much i wish i could buy full version, but even on the free version this app is great as it can target my main problems!

It is awesome except for the payment for the extra stuff

it wouldn’t actually open my apps

Like my apps were locked the whole time, even if I showed it grass and it would say it was opening them, but it never did
