Cool helpful app! I think this is really cute. The only reason I didn't give 5 is because I found myself spending a fair bit of time getting my lands going instead of focusing. Lol, but I get any game has to get started right? It's good overall. Set the timer to whatever you need and it chimes when it's done. If you leave the app you quit and don't get the points.

I. LOVE. This app. I love the graphics and gameplay style, but most of all I love the achievements bc it really makes me want to study more. I also love the gameplay bc after my timer goes off, I can use my break playing in the app. Suggestions: ■ I do wish there was a zoom in feature on the plants though because I want to see them more clearly. ■ And maybe during the timer our existing plants can appear and be animated. ■ I also wish studying for longer amounts of time gives a bigger reward.

The app itself I really enjoy. But it now has really noisy startup ads that I hate. I don't mind ads in general--it's free, I get it--but having a loud ad blare every time I open the app is a huge turnoff for me, especially because some are ads for games I wouldn't be comfortable having my children see or hear. I have all other sound in the app turned off and tried to see if I could turn off sound permissions in the general settings on my phone. Not sure if I'll keep using long term.

Really cute app that I can go to if I feel like I just wanna play a game, and mechanics are so that I can't make much progress without focusing. All ads are optional and increase game rewards so definitely a positive experience. Group farming is great for accountability. Only thing I wish for is more thourough stats on focus sessions and more categories/tags to label each session.

Recently started using this app and it has helped me immensely with self-studying. I like that there are multiple timer types to choose from, including pomodoro, stopwatch, and timer. I would, however, like the option to change the tag between pomodoro sessions. Right now, whatever tag you choose at the beginning applies to every pomodoro chunk! I like to switch subjects and would like to change tags between them.

it would be nice if I wouldn't get a notification that I've left the app Everytime my screen turns off. I've got it set to run in the background, but here I keep getting interrupted and told to pick up my phone every few minutes so my session doesn't fail. counterproductive.

This app has helped me study and focus more on my studies, but there's one problem. Sometimes when I start the focus session and put away my phone, I check back later to see why it hasn't rung yet just to realize it says I failed the session, even though I didn't leave the app. This is really frustrating especially when it's a one-hour focus session and I lose all my raindrops even though I studied for a whole hour. :( Also, in the new feature for nursery, what does the number on the speech bubble icon mean? I can't seem to click on it.

Fun and has most of the features I want. (My favorite focus apps grow a "plant" for every focus session, but those all got obnoxious paywalls. So this style of focusing for raindrops with which you can later plant things is fine. I do wish I could more specifically select plants to design each garden scene, though.) The gamification is just dangerous because you could spend awhile watching ad videos, transferring gardener cards, etc. instead of blocking your phone like you're supposed to.

It's a great app to help encourage you to put down your phone and get tasks done. However, there've been many times where I've turned the focus session on for an hour or more, left my phone sitting somewhere, and then came back later only to find that the focus session had failed 5-10 seconds in for some unknown reason. Or I've checked on it periodically, and my notification screen will tell me my countdown session is completed, but then when I enter the app it tells me that the session failed.

I love this app! However, I changed my rating from 5 to 3 is because I want to sync my data to Facebook, so if I want to have this app on a device that does not have Google (ex. Amazon Fire Tablet), I can still access my data, but any time I try to sync, It gives me an error. I'm hoping that it gets fixed soon.

Better than expected! No paywall, not forced to watch ads, relaxing. Easy to use. You can see what you are spending your time on. It motivates you to get stuff done and avoid using the phone. I feel as if I'm being rewarded. Flexible, You don't have to adapt to their method, e.g. you don't have to stick to Pomodoro. You can choose what works for you the stopwatch feature works best for me, I can just get as much done as I can and stop whenever I want. Positive reinforcement, not penalty based.

So cute! But...I was really hoping to just get rewarded for my focused time by simply watering a plant & watching it grow for a few seconds -- ironically, I focused for 15 minutes on a task & was rewarded with so many points (& subsequent in-game points & little side-thingies to pay attention to), that I spent twice as much time in-app than IRL. It's just too much for me! Uninstalling. If the app is simlpified and more focused later on, I'd love to try it again.

I love this so much! This app was probably one of the most helpful focus apps out there since there's no pressure for you to work for a long time, which really helped lengthen my short attention span, and the friend mode really motivated me to be productive. However, there has been some bugs lately, where when I log in, none of the buttons are available, I get way less water than I'm supposed to, and if I accidently go to another app but then leave that app, the 20 sec strict timer doesn't stop.

*Update: There are ads but they are not as intrusive as with most other apps.* Super cute way to keep me off my phone and focus on tasks like writing and crafting. It would be easy enough to just quit the focus session, but somehow, this app makes me want to commit to staying focused. And the plants are so cute! The app is very easy to learn and navigate.

Honestly, the app could be really great. I love the setting that keeps you working for 25 mins, break for 5 with configurable working and break time periods but theres WAY too much of the "incentive" systems in the way. I wanted to grow my plants sure, but it got to the point where growing my plants and keeping up with everything else would take up a whole break. Its a cute app but it leans too much into the game aspect and therefore can be too distracting when its meant to help you focus.

Best focus app I've found, but the Android version has so many weird bugs that detract from the experience. Once when my timer was up, after opening my phone the game froze until I restarted my phone. Graphical glitches when tapping on plants, the social button decides to just stop working, and the unlock conditions for new islands never update until I restart the app. If these are fixed, it will be an amazing experience.

it's fun and has a few cool timer/focus settings that are nice. the planting gameplay can be a bit distracting though if I have too many rain points 😅 Edit after using app for a few weeks: Things start to cost a lot of rain points the farther along you get. One thing I've run into because of that is that it takes *forever* to earn enough points to plant and grow if you're not watching a ton of ads, and they only load half the time even if you do choose to watch them.

Moved here after "the other app" put up a paywall for basic functions. I'm enjoying my time here and even feel more motivated to be out of my phone. I love the different types of focus sessions you can use, from timer, stopwatch, pomodoro method, to joining group sessions, I can use what best suits the moment. The plants are super cute and really give me a motive to stay out of my phone. Have been using it for almost a week and see myself using it for a long time

I like the objective of this app, but the notifications when my focus time is over are not working. I chose the vibrate only, but my phone does vibrate when time is up, so it's forcing me to constantly check the timer, which is definitely a hindrance of my time. My device vibration is always on, so this isn't a phone setting issue.

BEST app I've ever used for studying! It really helps me manage my ADHD time blindness and it motivates me to stay on task. The free version is honestly perfect and it has no ads (which is so appreciated)! It's also cute/funny taking care of all your little plants. I find it relaxing and rewarding take care of all my little plants on my study breaks. Thank you for creating this! 💚🌵
