Very helpful

Incredibly helpful for managing overwhelming to do lists. A widget would be useful too.

Helpful app for adhd

I’ve really enjoyed using the to do list especially because if a task is not completed it automatically rolls over to the next day so I do not forget tasks as often. I love that in the moment I can add to my list whereas with paper lists I would think of something in the go then forget by the time I was around my paper list. The learning modules can be nice as well. I do wish the app worked more consistently. At least a few times a month it will open but I cannot get it to respond.

Update: I love how responsive and thoughtful the customer service is in regards to the one issue I’ve had. They instructed me via email to reinstall the app which so far has solved the issue

Coming back and trying again

Came back to try again, and still experiencing app ending bugs.

My main beef now revolves around the Pomo/focus timer.

Resets if you are in another app for too long, then you age to reset the entire thing.

Doesn’t notify or keep the timer active unless you stay in the app.

Completely defeating the purpose of it being a phone app.

Tried to use this for work and constantly had to reset the timer ..

Why hasn’t this been fixed after almost 6 months past release ?

Hi David! We’re so sorry you faced this issue. Our development team has been hard at work and now resolved this issue. If you log out and log back in you should be able to access that feature without problem! If you run into any further issues please reach out to our team via support@thefocusgenie.com and we will be happy to assist you. We so appreciate your patience and feedback during our launch.

Pretty Great!

So far I do like the app, it’s clearly created by someone who understands ADD/ADHD! My only complaint would be the fonts are so tiny it’s hard to read sometimes. Wish I could log in from a computer instead of my Apple phone, for a bigger screen. I hope they fix this, it’s a game changer.

Some feedback

As someone with ADHD who is also a therapist specializing in ADHD I’m so grateful for people like Dr. Hamdani for creating tools to make mental things physical. This app has some cool stuff like daily mood and symptom tracking and the psycho-educational lessons are awesome. I also love the task timer function. I’ve had some challenges though:

the task timer doesn’t make a sound when it’s time to take a break. The push notifications weren’t working.

Tasks can’t be set to repeat

Reword questions so they aren’t yes or no. For example “how are you different from your siblings?” instead of “are you different from your siblings?”

The “mark as read” thing is very small - make it a button.

When I used the timer:

When I switched over to another app like messages, the study buddy image disappeared. Also once the app closed and my timer reset. Study buddy also froze regularly. Timer is inaccurate if you switch over to another app.

Thanks for considering my feedback!

Something to come back to

It’s only been a few days. But I find metals actually coming back to this app. It’s different. The whole idea of tokens and gamifying learning, the water tracking, the prompted journal entries that get you out of your head. It’s enjoyable to use.

Love this app

Love that I don’t feel overwhelmed using this app! 😃 Some other apps for ADHD seems overly saturated with options and tasks. This one is simple, stress-free, and helpful with tracking my day-to-day symptoms and moods. The journal questions are fun and though-provoking. Simple timer to set tasks to. If there are tasks that I don’t complete one day, I can move them to the following day. The body-doubling feature is helpful when doing shorter tasks or during Pomodoro timed tasks. Thank you Dr. Hamdani for creating this app! 🤍

Incorrect pricing

Their app claims that their subscription prices are $5.99 monthly or $47.99 annually. However, when you actually hit the subscribe button, you discover on the Apple-provided overlay that the real prices are $7.49 for the monthly and $59.99 annually. This is false advertising.

I like this app but there are some items that would be helpful like duplicating tasks from day to day instead of having to type them in manually or by microphone over and over.
