I love this app and use it to help me stay accountable. I have ADHD, so i use the schedule options to help me stay on task and on time getting out the door and then build in deep work sessions manually throughout the day. I rarely try to end a session early, feeling that kinda defeats my purposes for the app for in the first place, but the few times I did, I didn't encounter issues. It's definitely one of my go-to tools for adhd focus and productivity support!

Developers: Don't have your text options automatically on. This sent a text to several people unnecessarily who I had unread texts from. I would rather have that function be introduced in the tutorial so I can turn it on as I need. Also don't say we can turn it off with watching an ad in the tutorial when that option has to BE MANUALLY TURNED ON. It's a cheap grab for a dollar payment and I don't appreciate it.

The app works well unless you need to end the timer early. I was aware of the fees or the fact you'd have to watch an ad (I enabled the ad option in the settings after reading the reviews)... what I was not prepared for was the fact the ad would not load... it took half an hour and multiple attempts to get a single ad to load... It was stuck on a page that said "loading a video ad" with four white dots, that would, at very random intervals, flash a different color like it was trying to load an ad

Hi D, this is how the app requires a solid network or wifi connection to load an ad. Any chance you did not have a good connection?
