Ashley Shen (ID: 000000fccce6bcc0) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/03/2023 it's so cute! very motivating and nice, but i just wish it blocked websites too 😞

Génesis Benavides (ID: 0000005314be380e) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 06/02/2023 It works fine as long as you only want to have one plant, because if you share it with your frineds and make them use it to get mor etypes of plants it does nothing.

maggie inouye (lovix) (ID: 000000554e677600) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 12/09/2022 I truly enjoyed it while it lasted, and it really helped me with my personal studies/productivity! However, recently, the extension would open, but wouldn't let me start a timer. I thought that logging out and logging back in again would reset it a little, but it didn't work, because when I tried to log back in, after I entered my Google account, the page became unresponsive. I'm really sad that I am locked out of my favorite extension, but it was really helpful overall!

Shahid Fakih (ID: 0000004341595ede) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 10/16/2022 Does not work. Clicking the Flora icon in Chrome does nothing whatsoever.
