Hatch - Focus Timer for Study

This is a great alternative to the app “Forest”! I don’t have to spend money on it and it’s fun to get these cute creatures! One thing though, can you add an option (maybe in the app’s settings?) where I the egg doesn’t hatch when I leave the app (like in the phone) even when I’m using my iPad? I think it’ll help me focus more as I tend to get distracted sometimes.

I really like this app because I study well with the Pomodoro Technique! Not only does this app entice me to study, it also motivates me to be productive for the day. This app is great however, I would appreciate to have a setting where the egg will still hatch even if I am using other apps. It’s not that I’m cheating the time, it’s just that sometimes, my readings are saved inside my PDF readers or iBooks! Please make this happen! I am praying to you o’ great devs! 🙏🙏🙏

sometimes, the egg will break when i lock my phone??

The creatures don’t hatch when I sometimes lock my phone while the app is open. I don’t get why it happens. I don’t even touch my phone when the creatures are hatching but when I finally unlock my phone, the creatures would fail to hatch.

This app helps me a lot, it motivates me to not use my phone.

Don’t get me wrong, I like the app structure. I like how it’s a hatching game and how longer sessions give you rarer pets… but I hate the other features. First, no breaks. I get that some people might ask, well why can’t I just use the focus timer as a break? For me, it doesn’t provide the same satisfaction because I get a egg as a reward while the break IS supposed to be the break. Plus, this also unmotivates me as it makes me collect eggs faster (will quit this timer after collecting all pets). Second, the radio from the tutorial is nowhere to be found. Third, I hate how there’s no settings, no toggle, NOTHING. Fourth, there’s no alarm. Even if I finish my session, I can’t detect that I did because it doesn’t signal me. This brings me to my fourth issue, it deletes my timer when I return back to the app. Sometimes, I like to check the alarm to see how much time I have left after a assignment is finished. Well, I did just that, and I got JUMPSCARED by a void cutscenes with LOUD sounds (I have heart problems, don’t do me like this). This is SUPER annoying and is the reason why I’m quitting this app. Overall, this app barely even has the bare minimum.

The amount of times this encouraging app has put me on the right track is astonishing. I really don’t even know how I got alll my work done on time without it! (Spoiler: I didn’t😂) Only recommendation is maybe some Lofi music or something? But other than that, really good app!

I really like the app I now use my phone a lot less but one thing I think you should add is custom times so you can do more than two hours but overall it’s a great app!

Simple to use Easy to understand Crashes when scrolling on the store

I was running through the demo and started to work on a task, during that time my phone went to sleep. When I opened the app again, I saw the Oh No message. Is there any way to use this app without constantly having to interact with it to keep the screen on?
