  1. 5/5My First Study App

    I’ve tried plenty and seen many of study apps but none of them really interested me. As someone who loves science and especially space this one was the perfect match. I’m actually excited to put in the time to see my planets evolve and build my solar system. I bought the exopass immediately and it’s been the best. The artwork is absolutely beautiful and you can tell this is made with so much love and care. The music is amazing as well to study to, as someone who can’t study without music the built in feature is amazing, plus space themed music?? Couldn’t ask for more. Overall this is just a beautiful well made app and I hope this hidden gem gets the recognition it deserves.

  2. 4/5Worth it, but one thing that frustrates me

    I have adhd and autism, and this app has helped me so much. It’s motivating and fun to watch your planet evolve, and it doesn’t even have any ads. Although some features require a subscription, a lot of it is still free. Definitely would recommend, it’s the most fun and best focus app I’ve tried yet. Just a small thing, when I hyperfocus for long periods of time, like when I write or read for hours on end it doesn’t count for the time I actually spent. For example, if I spent 6 hours reading, that would count for 3 stage progressions according to basic math. But it only counts for one stage progression, which I find extremely unfair because I spent so much time focusing in hopes of evolving my planet further. Everything else is perfectly fine, it’s just this one thing.

  3. 5/5Great App With One Feature Missing

    This app is nearly perfect as it is now, but there’s one feature I miss from other apps. This app has a Focus Mode so you can’t open other apps while growing your planet, I love this feature but I wish it was possible to create a whitelist of apps that are allowed. Sometimes I need to check my email or use another app during the focus session. You can pause the session, but that doesn’t really help if the task is something that needs to be done on your phone and takes a long time. That being said, everything else about the app from its style to its permanent membership is amazing, and I’m very happy with it as someone with ADHD who struggles to focus.

  4. 5/5Great App

    Hey, thanks for making this app. I bought the Pass right away and really enjoyed the artwork, the idea of locking in to witness a universe evolve and many other things. I have a few feature requests that I would love to see implemented: 1. Something like a daily login mission. I used to use the forest focus timer and their daily challenge feature is what makes me feel the most motivated. I feel the pull to do something everyday in order to receive the rewards from the app. I would appreciate a feature like this in Exocus. 2. I haven't been using Exocus for very long, but there does not seem to be a built-in functionality to share the content/timer records on social media. To be fair, I personally do not post in social that often but I think a feature like that will help with promoting this App, especially since the artwork is so great. 3. I would appreciate a desktop version of the App. I don't like to have to interact with my phone while I am focusing. Also since I do most of my work in the laptop, it would be best to have everything in one place. Thanks again for the App.

  5. 5/5Cool focus app

    I just needed an app to record/track my focus with a timer when I want to lock in. This apps free version gives just that, it’s kind of gamified, when you end the focus you want to see what happens to the planet which makes it more rewarding. I probably focused for 2-3 overall more then if I used another app. Note to the devs: if you’re reading this can you please add other planets, it gets repetitive visually how every planet I do is just remodeled earth. You could like, add gas giants or smaller planets or something more creative, you know space is pretty fascinating. And closing it all off thanks for the app that doesn’t put the subscription everywhere, I like it
