They waste a lot of your time having you take an on-boarding quiz or few and then choose the background sounds you like. Then there is no option of a free trial beyond a week, and that is only if you search around the app to find alternative subscription options. How do you know how life-changing this might be if you only have a week to try it out? This is purposefully to get you invested so that you take their free trial and then get billed after seven days. Try the Be Focused or Focus Keeper app instead. They may seem more basic but they don’t distract you with fancy background sounds and wallpaper or pushy trials. You should focus on what is important to you, not an app which REALLY wants your money. It’s just another distraction. Developer, please respond by improving the app and user on-boarding experience. Any canned response or deflection is just proof of what I’ve written. I understand the other one-star reviews now. Please do better and stop wasting people’s time and attention. Thank you.

This totally romanticizes studying for me. I kinda wish the “yay i finished an assignment” sound was more motivating ,like khan academy, but love the Pomodoro technique and the aesthetics of this app. As a student, I totally believe this is worth the money.

Downloaded this based on the response from the developer to another review. It stated they made features available to try prior to paying for subscription which isn’t true. Can’t justify paying $25 minimum for something I don’t even know if I like.

Wants you to pay before you even try. Sorry but I am not going to $25 for something that I don’t even know if I am going to like.

I have just downloaded this app this morning, so I don’t have extensive use under my belt, but so far I love it. I used it to write “Morning Pages” with conversations going on around me in the room, and I was able to sit there until my three pages were done without getting pulled into conversations etc. I really enjoy it. It’s like creating a little room for myself in the middle of the commotion, where it’s quiet and solitary.

garbage, forces you to pay just to try it

I purchased this product in 2020 with a one time fee and now I have to pay a subscription fee?

Gave me an option for a 7 day free trial, when I signed up for the trial it charged me immediately and now I can’t get a refund!

Simple timer with background music to help focus.

What’s with the endless quiz that you can’t skip?? I downloaded it for a pomodoro timer not a questionnaire
