What Users Are Saying

It’s cool but you should make it where you can buy stuff for cheaper and make the beans not cost real money.

I’m not trying to be rude or mean. I’m stating the obvious. I think it’s only fair people should be notified and made aware of this. Unless you’ve been living under a rock, the group I’m about to refer to within this app, has been under intense scrutiny for some time. This critique is directed sol...

I feel like the premise of the app, which is to improve focus by converting time to currency for your little friend to spend on items, is too “real money” focused.
