Ratings and reviews

I think there could better integration of the heart rate tracking from smartwatches through googles health app. I do a lot of cardio but it's low impact; so while my steps are counted minimally, my heart rate is elevated for prolonged periods of time. While my health app and smartwatch track this data, this app does not seem to utilize that to factor additional time spent exercising. Things like boxing or dance are not accounted for but would seem common enough to be sensible additions.

This is the best app I have ever used i downloaded it a day back and it literally cut my screen time from 7 hours to 3 hours and my body is also showing symptoms of weight loss and my time has been running quite productive and my life is coming in routine

Great app! love it, incredibly useful. my favourite one. I normally delete other apps when I run out of time, but because this one allows phone access through multiple avenues other than walking, gems / ads / saved up time i don't feel the need. I only have some small grievances, I wish I could change the time the day resets, it glitches on tiktok where I leave the comments and it brings up the exit app menu. so in a 10 minute session it might bring it up 4 times which is a bit annoying.
