Study Bunny: Focus Timer 4+

I’ve been looking for a lot of productivity apps to help me accomplish my goal of learning Japanese. All of them I would sort of try out and then never touch them again. But I love this app! It really motivates me to study every day. I really like how you have a little bunny that you can name and buy stuff for. I think that’s what sets it apart from other study apps. You have a motivation to come back and keep studying so you can get things for your bunny. It is nice how you have to get lots of points to buy something, you really feel like it’s an accomplishment when you do end up getting something. It also has a chart where you can see how many hours you study each day and how long you studied for each session, which is really helpful. I try to study for an hour a day, and the chart really actually helps me see how long I’ve studied instead of just guessing. Also, you can make your own sets of flash cards which is a nice feature. This app is really cute and has really helped me study more and continue to move forward with my goals. I definitely recommend it! 😺

I am still getting an ad after countdown goes off. I have never minded them but this last one was with sexual content. This is the first time it has happened.

Bottom was an old review with three stars and it is now 5 star because they listen to their customers. Wow, thanks so much guys. I love all the updates. I’m so excited to keep using your app. This would be great if my iPad can shut off while timer is going so it doesn’t use battery. Also I study with my iPad at times as well but the timer shuts off when I pull up another app for my study. I would suggest those two fixes. Also all the ads can be very distracting and it goes against the whole purpose of the app helping one study more. I’d say let users gain carrots and coins by how much they study. If ads are how you get paid maybe charge a few dollars a month or a yearly prescription to those who don’t want to see the ads. Maybe make it optional for the user. Just a few suggestions. Love the idea of the app and it’s fun to use but can be frustrating that I can’t pull up my study apps while timer is in process.

With our current situation it’s hard to keep track of the amount of time that you study. At least that was the case for me. I can no longer estimate my study time by thinking “oh yeah I was at the library for 2 hours = I studied for 2 hours” so having a timer app is incredibly life changing, but not just any app, the bunny timer app! You get coins the more you study. And you’re able to see exactly how long you studied because it stays recorded. Which is incredibly satisfying. It’s a great incentive. Plus you get to spend your coins on cute items and outfits for your study bunny buddy. It’s amazing. Before using this app I would think that I studied for a long time because I would sit on my desk all day but I wouldn’t be getting any actual work done. My tip with using this app is using the Pomodoro Method. I only study for 25-30 minute intervals and I take short breaks where I do something fun (like grab a snack or watch a funny video). This way I’m able to study more efficiently and for longer times. So yeah this app is one of the best things of 2020. Thank you to the creators!
