### 4/5 — Good but

*2026-10-27*

I wish there was day off option again

**Developer response:** Hello, this is YPT. Thank you for your review! You can still set a day off: go to the Calendar tab and select a date. Thank you for studying with YPT!

### 4/5 — Верните истории.

*2026-10-21*

Куда делись истории? Без них так плохо.

**Developer response:** Здравствуйте! Это команда YPT. Спасибо за отзыв и за то, что пользуетесь приложением. Мы передали ваше мнение о функции историй команде. Если у вас есть вопросы, напишите нам на pallo.ypt@gmail.com. Спасибо!

### 3/5 — GUI	is kind of hard to navigate

*2026-10-07, version 810.0.85*

This may just be me and my terrible computer skills talking, but it is hard to access certain features in this app. When I start studying, I cannot find the chat feature for the group I am in. I cannot find the button to end my study session either.

Other than that, the app serves its function. I like studying in groups.

### 5/5 — I LIKE IT

*2026-09-10, version 810.0.85*

how do I delete apps (just asking)

### 4/5 — 勉強中の画面もカスタマイズできるようにして欲しい　공부 중인 화면도 커스터마이즈할 수 있도록 해 주세요.

*2026-09-07*

いつも使ってます。勉強時間をプランナーで記録できたり、分析できてとてもいいです。勉強始める前のホーム画面をカスタマイズできるのがすごく好きなんですが、勉強中の画面も好きな画像を貼れたり、カスタマイズできるようにして欲しいです。

I always use it. It's great to be able to record and analyze your study time with a planner. I really like that I can customize the home screen before I start studying, but I want you to be able to paste or customize your favorite images on the screen while studying.

항상 사용하고 있습니다. 학습 시간을 플래너로 기록하거나 분석할 수 있어 매우 좋습니다. 공부를 시작하기 전에 홈 화면을 커스터마이즈할 수 있는 것이 정말 마음에 드는데, 공부 중인 화면에도 원하는 이미지를 붙이거나 커스터마이즈할 수 있게 해줬으면 합니다.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-09-03, version 810.0.85*

Its very good, however it bugs fairly frequently. Force close and reopen to fix it

### 3/5 — 🔥

*2026-08-29*

열품타를 1개월 정도 사용 후 후기 남겨용.
제가 느끼기엔 살짝 복잡하고 공부 이외에 딴 기능들이 오히려 공부에 방해가 된다고 생각해요.
또 공부를 하려 사용하는 어플에 이런 복잡한 기능들은 오히려 1분 1초 소중한 제 시간이 낭비된다고 생각이되네요….심플하게 타이머,기록,플래너 이정도만 원하신다면 이 어플은 좀 불편하게 느껴질 수 있어용….그래도 많은 사람이
이용하는 만큼 공부에 도움이 되긴해용!

### 5/5 — Highly recommend

*2026-08-27, version 810.0.85*

This app is a great app. Honestly, I’ve been able to do a lot more of my tasks and coursework using this app as it cost a reminder and in an a way motivator. Allows you the opportunity to connect with a community and study together.

I do wish that the developers could add study icons that are black to get a good amount of representation because there is a more diverse audience using this app.

I think the study features are very cool. I think they should continue making cool innovative, ideas for this app.

I would love to see more improvements on the flashcards, also the time lapse thing where you can do that on your own rather than needing to be a part of a group access that feature, there’s an ability to connect it with your Apple calendar, but it would be nice to do it as well for the Google Calendar, the ads are annoying collected when it was more optional I think there’s other ways to integrate those without it being distracting.

Overall is a really nice app. There are some bugs but they’re getting fairly quickly. Big thumbs up. I got the premium and hope that there are more teachers to come.

### 3/5 — Good app but language problem

*2026-08-26*

I used the app for an entire year and it’s really great but sometimes when I opened dictionary or I tried to change settings or sometimes when recording sessions app would show notification on screen in Korean even though default language was English. So I had to pull out translate app multiple times which was frustrating. Other than that this app provided me with community to study with online and helped me lock in for my exams. So I hope this issue gets fixed soon

### 5/5 — 请问可以增加专注完备注文字的功能吗

*2026-08-22*

每次专注完可以增加一个写下文字环节吗
想把一段时间的学习要点写清楚方便看一天干了什么

### 5/5 — pls never change i love you ypt

*2026-08-22, version 810083*

ypt has been my holy grail ever since i discovered it and i will love this app forever. pls don’t change!!

### 4/5 — Love the app but fix the bug please

*2026-08-14, version 810.0.77*

The apps I added to "Allowed Apps" cannot be accessed during study time, so basically all apps are locked. But strangely, a few apps that I didn't add to the list, are not locked during studying. 

I tried contacting for help through the app support, but it’s been over a week and no one’s responded.

### 5/5 — Прекрасное приложение!!

*2026-08-11*

Приложение прекрасное!! Я в восторге, много функционала, нет рекламы, есть офлайн режим и много еще чего. Очень понятный интерфейс. Кароче вообще топ ^_^

### 5/5 — simply the best.

*2026-08-11, version 810.0.76*

YPT is literally my favorite app ever. It's got everything I want for studying and staying productive, and it just covers all my needs perfectly. 10/10

### 5/5 — خوش تطبيق

*2026-08-11, version 810.0.76*

### 4/5 — Parou de funcionar após atualizações

*2026-08-08*

Eu gosto do aplicativo porém após algumas atualizações parou de funcionar no meu macbook. "Runner encerrou inesperadamente"

### 5/5 — 翻译！	我想和小老外聊天！

*2026-08-06*

开发者你好，ypt很好用，感谢研发。建议如下：1️⃣软件翻译。我想和小老外聊天有人能懂吗？根本看不懂他们的缩写，ai翻译也有些问题并且时效不高。2️⃣倒计时下面设置分组，或者科目分组，可以参考番茄todo的学习集。3️⃣开镜自习的摄像头能不能出一个保持设定。老是开镜就突然对着我的脸。感谢！

### 1/5 — Charging subscription for basic features

*2026-10-27, version 810.0.86*

Locks apps by default, no way to change or to allow list apps without subscribing. 

You know. 

To a freaking glorified timer. 

Nothing about the app justifies a subscription. It’s brain dead simple with a simple, ugly ui (which is fine! I like it! But let’s not pretend it cost much in the way of development)

### 1/5 — 네이버 다른아이디로 로그인하려면 어떻게하나요

*2026-09-18, version 810.0.85*

네이버 다른 아이디 잘못 로그인해서 로그아웃하고 다시 다른 아이디로 로그인해야하는데 계속 닉네임 설정 페이지로 가고 뒤로가기나 재설정 버튼이 없으니 정말 개빡치네요ㅠ

### 1/5 — 허용앱 기능 아예 끌 수는 없는건지?

*2026-08-09, version 810.0.76*

종종 발생하는 오류 및 서버 다운은 차치하고 왜 허용앱 기능은 아예 끌 수 없는 건지 이해가 되지 않네요. 타이머 켜놓고 작업을 하는데 매번 창 바뀔 때마다 타이머가 멈추는 것도 마음에 안들고 또 allow app을 꼭 눌러야지 허용앱이 가능해지는 것도 너무 불편하네요. 왜 굳이 필요없는 허용앱 기능을 강제해가지고...

### 1/5 — ужасно

*2026-08-05, version 810.0.75*

Ужаснее приложения не видела,хочу обновить таймер не обновляется,хочу убратт запись за сегодня т.к случайно нажала мне удаляют за вчера,фиговое приложение,доробатывайте!!

### 1/5 — Disappointing update ,too many distracting ads !!

*2026-07-26, version 810.0.72*

This is supposed to be a focused study app, but now there are full ads right on the front page every time I open it. It completely ruins my focus and defeats the purpose of a productivity app. Please remove them.

Ads on the front page of a dedicated study app make no sense.

### 1/5 — why did you add popup ads

*2026-07-16, version 810.0.68*

useful but became bloated and there's popup ads now

### 1/5 — Ao trocar o nome da disciplina não contabiliza

*2026-07-16*

Troquei o nome de uma disciplina e depois coloquei as siglas e não soma as notas, só soma na troca imediata. Mas no total, fica aparecendo separado.  não gerei nova disciplina, só editei o nome. Suporte não existe

### 1/5 — cannot stop

*2026-06-15, version 810.0.51*

pausing doesnt work, it makes my phone blocked everything

### 1/5 — Bad app

*2026-06-11, version 810.0.50*

Keeps logging me out and making me angry

### 1/5 — Приложение вылетает

*2026-06-07*

Пофиксите баг, приложение вылетает уже месяц! iOS 25.6

### 5/5 — Greatest app for students

*2026-11-08, version 810.1.06*

This app single-handedly gave me the grades i wanted with no tutors or anything. It helped me get 1 A* and 8 A’s at GCSE

### 5/5 — Incredibleee

*2026-11-02*

I love everything abt this app

### 5/5 — Amazing! BUT.

*2026-10-31, version 810.0.86*

I absolutely love YPT. I just wish that it was compatible for Microsoft because I definitely would use it a lot more if I could just log how long I’ve studied on my laptop since I often forget to log my studying on my phone as I don’t always have my phone near me when I’m studying but I always have my laptop with me. 

Just something to consider!

**Developer response:** Hello, this is YPT. Thank you for your review! We're working on a web version that you'll be able to use on your laptop, and it's coming soon. Please stay tuned. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Me ajuda bastante!

*2026-10-28*

Muita qualidade.

**Developer response:** Olá, somos o YPT. Muito obrigado pela avaliação! Ficamos felizes em ajudar nos seus estudos. Bons estudos!

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-10-21*

I asked the help and support team to retrieve my account because I forgot which google account I used, they quickly resolved the issue and were patient!

**Developer response:** Hello, this is the YPT team. Thank you for the kind review. We're glad your account was recovered. If you need help again, feel free to contact us at pallo.ypt@gmail.com. Thank you!

### 5/5 — 100% recommend

*2026-10-11, version 810.0.85*

I love it! It’s a little confusing to use at first but once you get the hang of it, it’s super useful!

### 5/5 — Good

*2026-09-30, version 810.0.85*

Like it

### 5/5 — Works well, free to use, lots of features

*2026-09-21, version 810.0.85*

It lets you make flashcards and review them even when you are offline. There is occasionally an ad when you open the app, but they aren’t bothersome and don’t disrupt studying at all. The group feature is really nice; I love getting to connect with other people and it helps me study more. The music is pretty cool too. I like that it blocks apps when I am studying, but gives the option to allow certain apps. Thank you for making this free to use. 100/10 highly recommend

### 5/5 — YPT大好きですが、　　　　　　　　ここだけ改善していただきたい！

*2026-09-18*

YPTのおかげで、
毎日の勉強習慣が出来、
とても感謝しています。
ありがとうございます。
すごく使いやすく、
わかりやすいつくりなので
初心者でも使いやすかったです。

ですが、
一点だけ直していただきたい場所があります。

勉強時間を後付けでグループでも反映できるようにして欲しいです。

塾や自習したことなど入れ忘れや、塾の授業中にスマホを使ってはいけないので、
そこだけ直していただくと、
すごく助かります。
グループでの勉強時間目標を達成できてるのに、時間反映がグループで見れないので達成できてないと思われてしまうのが悲しいです。

私はYPTを本当に気に入って使っているので、この機能の追加を検討していただけたら、とても嬉しいです！☺️

Thanks to YPT, I have developed a daily study habit, and I am very grateful for it.
Thank you so much!
YPT is very easy to use and well-designed, so even beginners can use it easily.
However, there is one thing I would like to ask you to improve.
I would like to be able to add study time later and have it reflected in my group as well.
Sometimes I forget to add the time I spent studying at a cram school or studying by myself. Also, I am not allowed to use my phone during cram school classes, so I cannot record my study time while I am studying.
If you could improve this feature, it would help me a lot.
Even when I achieve my group’s study goal, my study time is not reflected in the group, so it looks like I did not achieve the goal. That makes me sad.
I really love using YPT, so I would be very happy if you could consider adding this feature.
Thank you for your time and for creating such a useful app!☺️

### 5/5 — macbook app

*2026-09-15, version 810.0.85*
