I’ve struggled to hold an attention span academically since I can remember. I breezed through primary with no study and minimal homework completion, well through middle school until grade 10 (Australia). I smashed my science tests in grade 10, and passed assignments in science with the beginning to the completion of my assignment lasting 2 days. However, come Senior years and electives. Chemistry, Physics and Maths are specifically where I fell HARD. English I’m somewhat natural at, as in Music. Legal studies bored me to tears, but somehow I miraculously passed QTAC or whatever it is. I’m now in University, having started Psychology this closing trimester. I’ve received a mental health overview, and was diagnosed with hyperactive ADHD. I am now medicated, as well as practicing therapies and mindfulness.These help, but I still find myself struggling with organisational skills. Scheduling study, tasks, essential chores, and events is a difficult thing for me still. I’m trying to improve and develop in that area, and this app is helping phenomenally. Funnily enough, ADHD people oddly strive under stress and pressure close to deadlines. So, I am also undertaking a full time apprenticeship. Wow! Why do that to myself? I don’t know, I enjoy having lots to do that interests me. But now I can learn how to study like a functional academic! Not chaotic and scattered in the mind, intelligent but uselessly incompetent in structure or discipline. Thank you for doctors, for science and pharmacological advancement, thank you my Lord for providing fantastic healthcare! I now extend my thanks to Flora, as it is the next layer of assistance and routine in my busy life.

Absolutely love this app, it has got my through some extremely challenging study periods by providing that incentive and motivation I needed to keep me on track with progress I could actually see in the form of a pretty garden.However after using it for 400+ hrs it has started to lose its spark and I need something new to get me excited to use it - I have been desperately waiting years now for another tour, I beg you please please please make more tours!!!! I’ve sent you so many suggestions - coral reef, Australian natives, succulents/cacti, carnivorous, fruit/veg….I also love that you can use flora care to plant real trees as a positive motivator. It would also be great to be able to see how many trees I’ve planted so far! It has been glitchy in the past (crashing and killing trees that I hadn’t killed etc) which has been problematic when I’ve put a price on the tree and then been charged - not sure if this is still the case (as I have lost the motivation to use it without new trees), however you can report these instances to the app and usually get money back.

I find it difficult to motivate myself to study and when I finally do study I end up taking a 2 hour break on my phone like halfway through. With this app I enjoy adding up the hours I’ve studied, motivating me to have more study sessions, and anytime I get an urge to use my phone I decide against it because then my plant will die 😭 It also allows you to choose how long your study session will be and how long your break will be, so you won’t get distracted for too long so that’s really helpful. You can also add your friends and you can have a session together! So for anyone who struggles with the same things I did I’d definitely recommend for you to try it out and see if it works for you

I’ve been using flora for over two years now, in my final year of high school and now in my second year of university. I love the app but there’s definite room for improvement. First of all, you should be able to see yourself on the leaderboard next up your friends. Part of the fun of leaderboards that feeling of competition you get when you see yourself move up or down. Being able to see yourself on the leaderboard would make me more likely to study more using the app. Secondly, there should be a stopwatch as well as a timer for study sessions, I don’t want to set a timer every time I study, sometimes I just want to let a stopwatch go and see how long I can work for. Lastly I wish there way a way sort study hours into categories assigned with a subject, and to see over time how many hours you’ve dedicated to each.
