Very good, quite effective at keeping me focused, I like the minimalism, helps me to stay focused. I used it today to study and I get an instant dopamine boost when I see the cat !! I would like a widget to put on my home screen, which would be helpful, but I very much enjoy this app. another suggestion is an option to turn on a noise that shows when you are finished (this may already exist and I haven't found it?)

It would be perfect, but for some reason, most of the time when I finish a session the time is logged for the day after rather than the day I log the time on? It fixed itself a few times but then went back to logging for tomorrow rather than today, and I'm not sure why it would do that.

Hi, thank you for trying Striving: Forest phone lock. Can you please check if you’ve enabled everything in ‘Settings > Improve Focus’? If you are still having issues, could you send us your focus log (Settings > send log) after a bad focus session? Please reply to us with your game ID after the log is sent.

It was so good! I didn't expect it cuz most of the other apps were not that good, but I tried this out and it was one of the best apps I have ever experienced! When you get out of the app accidentally, some apps would restart your whole session, but this one doesn't. The timer keeps on going. I hope this is safe though, and I have not much doubt. It also motivates me somehow. I hope to see no adds, though. I don't review often, but this is so good I couldn't resist. It's an excellent app.
