  • Fantastic utility

    The only app I’ve found that FORCES you to lock in - by tracking when you leave the app, which can’t be circumvented. Very clever idea! I also like that you can customize which ghosts you meet.

  • Updated to four stars after hearing from the devs

    **Update: As I hoped was true the Easter egg apparition was intended to be false. It turns out that the feature that would have marked it as being fiction hadn't rolled out yet. If after the update I feel that it's obvious that this apparition was meant to be tongue in cheek I will update to five stars. But it still rubs me wrong that some people might be able to misinterpret and think that the info was true. ** I honestly thought that I was going to be coming here to write a five star review. Because I love this app. But before I decided to come and write my review I did one more focus session and I got an Easter egg apparition for Mr. Rogers, except that it was a description of being in the fighting in Vietnam. It was written as though Fred Rogers was a soldier in Vietnam and was sharing his experience. The problem with this is that Fred Rogers never served in the military. I did see that the apparition was marked as an Easter egg and I thought maybe that meant that it wasn’t true, but I couldn’t find anything marked anywhere that it was not true. So I went ahead and unlocked all of the rest of the apparitions for Mr. Rogers. There is still nothing to indicate that the Easter egg apparition is not true. I have no idea where this whole “Mr. Rogers in Vietnam" diary entry came from, but it is pure fiction and very misleading not to have it labeled as such. It baffles me that a thirty second Google could have prevented this.

  • Amazing App!

    Pokémon for adults in the best way possible. Enjoy the design aesthetic of the pixelation, quotes, and simple and effective UI. One UX improvement: The app doesn’t provide an incentive for focus periods of longer lengths: the coins allocated for 4 30-min sessions is more than 1 2-hour session, despite them being the same amount of time. This incentives users to use these lesser focus times, making them use their phones more to set up these shorter sessions - which is counter-intuitive to the purpose of the app. As a solution, a coin multiplier for longer periods (contra: equal amount of coins by cutting longer periods of time to smaller sections) would enable users to focus for longer periods of time - and enhance the purported functionality of the app. Otherwise, great job! Love it.

  • Didn’t work

    The app didn’t work. I tried downloading 4 times but couldn’t do anything other than click the ‘Get Started’ button which then brought up a window with ‘Continue with Apple’s ‘, ‘Continue with Google’. It would log in, show the same ‘Get Started’ image and then I would repeat this over and over. I was never able to get it working.

  • Not bad

    So far I think it’s a pretty good app. I don’t like that you lose your timer if you lock your phone, makes me feel like I’m using more battery than needed (even if it’s a dark screen). If I continue and don’t mind it, I’ll change my review

  • Nice work!

    Pretty neat for a pomodoro app. I'd like the ability to set my own timer tho.

  • Best Focus Timer

    I’ve been using focus timers for a while and stumbled across this on Reddit. I’ve never come across a focus timer that was this much fun to use and made me feel this good getting work done.
