I'm over here visualizing people holding their phones in their pocket while continuously tapping on them. The goal of not looking disrespectful might backfire on you :).
I made a game you can play without anyone knowing (no visuals/sound)

#12A game for people who get carsick looking at screens, awesome! I would love more suggestions that fall in this same category, aka games for the vision impaired.
Where can I sign up for notification of a future Android (specifically Kindle Fire [Kids+]) release?

#13Well done! This is a pretty cool and unique idea.
I think it would be nice to have some UI when you first open the app, so you can at least learn how to play it. It's kind of hard to figure out what you're doing wrong when you tap and what success should look like.
Also, are there any difficulty levels? It feels like the very first sequence is kind of hard.

#14The app looks nice and the concept sounds interesting.
But this worries me a little bit: "I also needed a distraction" - is it really a good idea to treat our brains this way? Why do we need distractions all the time? Why is boredom so intolerable? Also, you can simply just think about stuff, you don't have to feed your compulsion loop.

#15OP:
1. Use “you’re“, not “your”, for “you are”. It is wrong in the first “screen” image in your App Store listing.
2. Use an ellipsis — three dots, “…”, never two dots. This is in two images in your listing.

#16Bought it for the novelty, easy decision.
Feedback: it's pretty difficult even at the first level. As a distraction, even just easy 2-3 beat patters might be good to start with. So having difficulty levels would be great.
Maybe the difficulty comes from the strength of the haptic engine, but not sure how to easily change that (somewhere in Settings app I'm sure).

#17Nice! instead of tapping, an alternative play mode I'd love to see would be shaking! Even better if you can play with the phone "locked" so no accidental clicks.

#18Essentially an exercise in minimalism, quite cool. I want it, buy I'm an Android user. However, I also really have to wonder: "I needed a distraction" - smartphones have apparently conditioned us to consider boredom absolutely intolerable. I'm note sure that's a good thing.
Well actually, humans have disliked boredom since forever. Before the advent of phones, people would read, drink, or otherwise cause chaos to entertain themselves (these things still happen of course, phones are just yet another source of entertainment).
Think about all those times before you had a phone that you would read the ingredients to hand soap while on the toilet!

#19Genius idea, though in the grand scheme of things this is probably bad.

#20This is brilliant and an instant buy for me!
