To-do list disappeared

Like many others, I really loved this app at first and it was an easy way to track my to-do items. Now everything I’ve put on the list for the past week has disappeared. I don’t have it written down anywhere else and was using it to track progress in a course I’m taking. This sets me back a ton and I don’t think I can continue paying for an app that can delete all of my to-do items at random.

Whooo!

Really helpful, Dr. Hamdani! Might add a period tracker so we can connect more data dots. So far, this is simple and fun and really helpful. Thank you.

So glad to hear you are liking the app! Stay tuned - there is more to come :)

Nice app, could use a couple tweaks

Really like this app, it’s very pared down and easy to use. The only two things I would suggest is the ability to make custom categories, and ability to sync to a google or iPhone calendar.

Bugs!

I love the layout of the app and it seems very user-friendly and easy to navigate. But I got very frustrated with the numerous bugs so I won't be paying for the subscription right now. Every time I try to click on “study buddy” or “music” the app crashes.

Not worth it.

First of all, my negative reviews keep disappearing from the App Store. What’s up with that?

This app has such good PR and I’ve enjoyed the creator’s social media content. The app was hyped for about a year, going to give us ADHDers everything to manage our lives. In fact, the functionality is just a to do list that doesn’t carry over from day to day.

The learning modules are simplistic.

The promised three day free trial is actually only two days. Your charged at the beginning of the third day.

Worst, I’ve contacted support every possible way and never got a response.

Lastly, app hasn’t been updated for awhile so where is all the promised new content?

Every time I see the app on my phone it get a little feeling of having been taken advantage of.

Excited to see it grow. . .

I love Dr. Sasha, so I definitely won’t give up on Focus Genie. It’s just not really helpful right now. Paid for the year and it hasn’t worked and when it does it’s glitchy. I think there is a lot of room for growth and I am glad to be trying it now and have the ability to provide feedback so it can serve the purpose it was created for. But for now, it’s not really improving my ADHD experience.

Hi Sun Rei, we are so grateful for your support and feedback. It truly does help us create the best possible version of the app. As of the last two updates, any glitches have been resolved. If you are still having any issues, we would love to help directly--just reach out to support@thefocusgenie.com! More to come on the FocusGenie journey (including even more features!) with upcoming rollouts.

Too Buggy

It has so much promise but it’s far too buggy. Crashes every time I try to use study buddy, notifications come up that say “text” instead of actual descriptions, unable to add your own categories for the to-do list, and more issues. I’ve unsubscribed and actually want a refund since it doesn’t perform as promised. If bugs could be ironed out and it performs as promised, it would be a great app. It needs work though.

Multifaceted support for adhd management at any age

I’d highly recommend this app to someone looking for new ways to manage their adhd symptoms and help their days run smoothly.

A Game-Changer for ADHD - 5 Stars!

Focus Genie has been a life-altering tool for me as a black woman with ADHD. It's comprehensive, offering strategies and education that resonate with my neurodivergent brain. It's not just an app; it's a personal guide that's accessible and easy to navigate.

Beyond helping me understand ADHD, Focus Genie has been instrumental in my day-to-day life, aiding my healing process and enhancing my productivity. A huge thank you to Dr. Sasha Hamdani for creating such a powerful tool.

For anyone living with ADHD, I can't recommend Focus Genie enough. It's a beacon of hope, proving that with the right resources, we can thrive. Five stars aren't enough for this transformative app.

App issues

This app has great potential and I’ve been eagerly awaiting its release for so long but sadly there are a few bugs that mean I can’t use it properly right now. Things like the Study Budy and music/soundscapes don’t work and as soon as I select them the app crashes. Just leaving this review as feedback so the issues can be fixed and then I’ll happily come back for another try :) thanks for what you’re doing guys!
