The app has slowed down in opening up the user interface but overall great app. Been very helpful in exams, love the feature of setting goals each day. Easy to use but might need some time for new users to get the hang of it. Awesome utility to have in one's phone as a student or learner!

This app is amazing... It let's me concentrate more with studies and studying along with other people makes it interesting... But I changed it to 4 frm 5 star because the timer stops after sometime which is really uncomfortable. Since I study continuously without looking at my phone and look at it after some time, it's paused. So I don't really know how long I studied. It would be better if it doesn't pause on its own.

So I've been using this app for a while, and how this app works is that whenever you flip your phone the timer will start. However, these few days, when I flipped my phone the timer doesn't start anymore, I have to press the start button by myself. Same thing for pausing the timer, it doesn't pause itself when I flip over my phone, I have to press the pause button myself. I hope this problem gets resolved soon. Thank you.

The app is good and i have used it since forever now but there's one issue. After setting a daily goal, which is supposed to be there every day, the goal suddenly disappears the next day. Yes, i have checked and set the end date to infinity multiple times but it keeps disappearing. It's kind of annoying so...i hope you fix this. Anyways, good app.

So far it's great but I would love it even more with these updates: 1) Please Please do something with editing the day of a goal it's so fraustrating not to have this ability. 2)The pie chart some how does not work for weekly and monthly "group" datas. 3)sorting the goal by their date 4) an archive section for goal because the goal section becomes messy! 4)improving sharing abilites

My favorite app for a long time but every time when I flip my phone during countdown you can't check your current time anymore, it shows an inaccurate 'recent focus time'. Sometimes my focus time would not even count and resets me back to zero making it very frustrating. This bug sucks!! Some update must have been the culprit on this issue

There are only two necessities when it comes to studying and those are coffee and this app! Senioritis hit me hard and I was losing motivation. I rediscovered my love for studying through this app. Great features and user friendly. There's global ranking available and you can be inspired by how hard others are studying. You can upload pictures on your study log, see who else is studying now with the 'live' option, and overall you feel a sense of community. Love, love and recommend it!!~

Can't figure out how to take a break, it keeps continuing after I set focus duration for 30 min and break for 10 minutes but it doesn't tell me when I can take a break, and I don't know how to manually put in a break. I also wished it counted down from 30 min, and then changes color when it's break time and let's me hit start to start my break, and then changes the color back when break time is over and let's me hit start to begin study session #2.

So far I have really enjoyed this app. The UI is especially well designed and the experience is second to none. The app is deserving of 5 stars. I wish the developer would keep the app updated and one day maybe we can have a feature where you can level up your goals, for gamification's sake? The idea that you can flip your distractions away is one of the best thing about the app.

Idk what happened, but now the app actually alerts me. I think it was after my phone update. I like the app a lot better now, but I still wish there was more clarity or simplification of the features, the homepage can be extremely overwhelming and the tutorials are not always understandable. I still don't know how to do certain things or how the mini-window triggers. Other than that, really cute app that cheers you on and has a really smart premise.

Still hate that you are forced to accept the Data Access to use. I understand the issue, because I did experience it, however, should have been an optional fix. Scanned through info, and it looked like the same info everyone else collects: email for communication, etc. and they say they value privacy, so with hesitation still accepted. Can't find anything else like it, so conceeded. Now starring for neutrality and +1 for how much I like it.

The app itself is alright. It got me motivated a few times and it was neat to be studying sort of with other people, but any rescheduling of goals was basically impossible. If I got a headstart on one or decided to permanently switch the Monday task to a Tuesday, it wasn't happening. I stopped using it months and months ago, but I keep it installed for the semi-daily quote notifications. Those are nice & I sometimes screenshot them & pass them on to friends.

Super cute app with lots of customization features and motivating messages even if you don't have premium! I also like that you can gain points to buy premium with. One suggestion I have is the ability to add groups or "subjects" so I can track how much I'm studying for each topic instead of having to manually add each time that I study. If that option was available I'd definitely give it 5 stars. 👍

I never used an app to track my studying before, and when I started, I was immediately discouraged. They all had terrible user interfaces with annoying features. FLIP, on the other hand, is very simple and handy, and you can start and stop your study timer throughout the day! Also, if you take a lot of breaks, it encourages you to go another (blank) minutes so you won't drop a grade! It's motivational, convenient, and the free version is enough to get your schoolwork taken care of on time!

This app is very nearly perfect. It's simple and tracks exactly what I need it to. It would be nice to recover a deleted goal (deleted it instead of marking it complete..lost 8 hours of tracked time😣). Also, being able to edit the time on something. When you close the app, a little rectangle stays on the screen with a pause button and too many times I accidentally paused without noticing and ended up not tracking time for 30mins.

Such a great app ! I have been using it for about 2months and since then I have been recording my study time. It has helped me a lot in order to improve my study time. It would be awesome if it had an option that when you paused the measuring it would shows you the exact time of the pause for example 3:30 pm . Hope developers add it in the next updates.

I like the many options they provide... if only it was for free users. The use of this app targets those that are willing to pay a subscription fee. It is not as it is advertised. While yes you can receive "points" for a premium membership it is at a nonsensical value which would require months just to accumulate enough for the reasonable options that are provided on the preview of this app. Highly disappointed. 18 dollars per year is not a fair pricing.
