Ratings and reviews

Today is my first time using this app and so far I really like it. it doesn't feel like something I'll drop soon but I also find it annoying that it keeps asking me to give it permission to my accessibility which I already have given. I first fixed it by closing the app turning off the permission and following the prompt again unfortunately it started asking for me to do it again.

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.

I feel a little silly editing my review so many times, but it reflects my experience. This app has been very glitchy in the past, but the developer has gone above and beyond to make it right multiple times and with the new report bug option, I'm confident that any future issues will be resolved quickly.
