   When are we getting new music?. Great app. Needs new lofi music and I’ll change to 5 stars

2. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Forcing people to buy just to pause the timer?. This is unacceptable. You don’t allow free users to pause more than once while on a timer? And you only allow limits of 40 minutes at a time when free apps have it unlimited? That’s wrong. And I have verified myself your so called “ real time studying together” people count is fake……why do you have to use fake numbers? It destroys the credibility of this app I refuse to use a focus app that is locked behind paywalls that should naturally be free for everyone. You developers should be ashamed of yourselves for trying to take advantage of people who seek to improve their lives. Shame on you!!!

   Take your money elsewhere 😡. When downloaded this app I clicked on it and it went back to the main screen I tried again multiple more times and still crashed I even shut down my device and still didn’t work VERY DISSAPOINTED

4. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

   It’s stopped working for me please help. The app doesn’t open anymore

5. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   No customer service. I have been trying to contact customer service for months, I never received an answer from the developer or customer service.

6. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Bad. I dont like

7. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   App won’t load. Every time I try to open the app it closes. If you have tips on how to fix this please tell me.

8. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   WAY overpriced. Pros: I liked the layout, design, and the little “ding” the timer makes. Multitask mode was helpful. Cons: there are way too many features hidden behind the paid version, and the price of the paid version is way too much for what this app is. I switched to an app called “focus keeper” which offers way more free services, and the paid version, even though I don’t need it because the free one is so good, costs a quarter of the price of Flipd. I recommend doing your homework on what else is out there before you buy this since better apps exist

   Unusable After Recent Update. I’m so confused as to what happened with this app. I’ve used the premium version consistently for the past eight months and I loved it. But this most recent update has been extremely frustrating for me. Where did all of the tasks go? The only ones I have left are the ones I created myself. There used to be so many options! Which was helpful because it would inspire me to track things that I otherwise might not have thought to track. Why can’t I organize the tasks by grouping anymore? There used to be the ability to group tasks by type and then get a breakdown for how much time was spent on that type of task, such as studies, exercise, and hobbies. Now it seems like every task “tag” is individual without the ability to be connected to other tags. Also, the app will not let me choose any tag that isn’t one of my five most recently used when I’m adding an activity that I didn’t record with the timer. Every time I click on a tag to add it, it thinks I want to edit that tag. I’ve been having to mark my time under the “friends” tag and then go back to edit it later with what tag the activity actually was. Also, all of my time that I add later is from 0:00-0:00. If you’re going to record the time, why not give me the option to edit that to reflect what the time actually was? In addition, the app frequently gets the day that I want to add time wrong now. I’ll click on April 3rd, for example, add the time, and then go back to find it was entered on April 2nd or 4th instead. Since there’s no option to change the date, I’ll have to delete that session, refresh the app, and then go try again and hope that the day I click on is the day that time is actually being added to this time. Also, the wheel-style chart doesn’t work anymore. For me, the only place where I have actual color on the wheel to mark the tasks I’ve completed is under the “year” tab. Today, past 7 days, past 4 weeks…. all of those wheels are blank. I loved this app, used it almost daily, but this recent update has made it almost completely unusable.

    Poor time tracker. The time tracking/recording simply does not function properly. With or without breaks included, the tracking for this app is awful. It will like triple the amount of the focus time and breaks, makes no sense. And I’ve reached out to absolutely no assistance. Waste of money.

11. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Literally a scam. this is just a pretty timer app.... they marketed themselves as an app that could lock your apps phones.... turns out that’s a feature in another one of the company’s apps, but if you didn’t know that.m, you literally have to buy a subscription to this one to find out.... waste of money

12. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Awesome. It’s great and helpful

13. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Make it a one time purchase app. You money thirsty people. We’re students for god’s sake there’s no way we can afford this thing

14. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Don’t buy.. Timer isn’t starting. Refund immediately.

15. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Pay gate. That’s not fun nor fresh. I get you need to make money but what’s the point in paying for your service when my phone has a timer I can use a unlimited of.

16. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Declining in quality. Was amazing when I first got it. I used the study time everyday, but now I can’t even use that. The app is basically worthless unless you pay for premium which I find ridiculous. I want to keep track of how my homework I get done, not pay to use a timer. Very disappointed.

17. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Doesn’t work. Downloaded, tried to start a timer and it just spent 10 minutes endlessly loading. Closed, tried again. Loading forever, didn’t work again. Why can’t I just start a timer? Probably bc they need to datamine me by sending everything I do to their servers. Oh, and they try to hook you on premium before you even get to the main screen. I almost clicked to buy bc the X to close was deceptively hard to find. Trash app.

18. ★★★★★excessive or broken notifications

    Bad. Non stop notifications from "10,000 minute challenge" groups I am no longer a part of. No way to turn off specific notification - ie anything not related to my current study study session. Frustrating.

19. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Annoying. 40 min (free version) limit is petty AF....

20. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Annoying. This app was okay but I didn’t use it as much as I thought, so I canceled it. That was 3 years ago but I am still being changed. I have to go through the process of canceling the membership and requesting a refund each time and yet, I am charged again the following year. Very annoying app and hate I ever downloaded

21. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Distraction. Too many interruptions and busy interface- not easy to quickly see stats or aggregate data

22. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Really great app, way too many restrictions if not purchasing premium.. Custom timer should be in basic mode, most productivity apps even with a premium version allow to create custom sessions. 1 hour is very short and restrictive.

23. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Totally pointless. Very few people have the ability to block all the apps on their phones — if you’re working, you need to be able to use email (often a download e one), web browser (ditto), slack, etc. What many of us do need is a service that enables you to customize which apps your blocking and when. Freedom sorta does this, but in my experience it’s far from perfect

24. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Just a goal tracking app. That’s all. I downloaded this app and even paid for 1 year of premium. It’s not much more that and a goal setting and tracking app. And the apparently more useful tool are connected to other apps, from the same developer, that of course ask for even pricier subscriptions. Do you remember Amway? (by the way, created by the family of Betsy de Vos!) Not sure how much the whole constellation of apps cost and if they are any good. I’m sorry I wasted $50 bucks.

25. ★★★★★slow performance and long loading times

    Too slow. Takes too long to start a session

26. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Premium sub. Such a scam i used to use it for more than 40m without a sub account i can’t believe how y’all care so much about the money !!

27. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Be skeptical of the response to my rating. No longer than 24/7 lock Which is a decision they made to prevent users from uninstalling and unsubscribing iPhone can’t lock and their suggestions for solutions reference fields which no longer exist. If they don’t contact me directly in real time conversation by phone I won’t be changing my rating. So ignore their text response and check my rating.

28. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Unable to unsubscribe. I have emailed this company twice about unsubscribing with no response, well before I was supposed to be charged. I am unable to unsubscribe in the app or under my icloud subscriptions.

29. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Okay... I like the app And it’s concept but it actually made my apps disappear for longer then the time I put in. Had to call Apple to get it fixed. Won’t use again, also I’m trying to cancel the subscription and Apple told me I have to call the apps customer service to do that. Do not get this app what do ever. Waste of money it locked my phone and I can’t even cancel the subscription.

30. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Uhh yeah this $30 app does nothing...permissions? How.. How do you make the app work?
