The new update
Honestly the app is amazing! It helped a lot throughout my sixth form exams and kept me motivated but the recent update of not having the options for time limits is kind of not working for me. eg. If I want to have a 1hr study session then there isn’t any option for it. It’s really in a continuous form now. Hence I have to use the timer along with this app, which really hinders it’s actual purpose. I hope you guys revert the update soon or make more amends.

The staff actually CARE ABOUT YOU!
My phone crashed the app when I was just about to get 100pts (not even the apps fault, possibly just my phone or general weirdness- that’s the only tech issue i’ve had otherwise its PERFECT) —- but I emailed staff and told them that it stressed me out and they send me the NICEST email and made up the points I can’t believe they actually care?! 10/10 I swear i’m addicted to not touching my phone because i’m so competitive with my school scoreboard lol

Love this
It’s not fully available to me because I’m in the US, but I still use it. I’m not a student so I guess even if they made it fully available here it still wouldn’t be that helpful for me. Works completely fine for work though. My desk job gets pretty boring and I end up going on my phone a lot, but I used it today, made 80 points in one go! And was a TON more productive. Thank you very much for this amazing idea!
