  • not worth money

    there is no way to customize and save voice alert. also not possible to adjust and save focus length. No instructions. i could just use timer on phone with same results
  • Great

    I love this app. It’s what I’ve been looking for.
  • Is it buggy or is it just me?

    The timer is going before I start, and I don’t think there’s a way to stop it without deleting it… when I do hit start the timer goes super fast, way faster than the real time passing. It’s not clear how long the time for any one thing is, if it fit into a calendar or something showing the time, and how long you wanted to be in this category that would be helpful. The sounds are distracting because instead of a seamless loop, they abruptly stop and start over. I’m very disappointed that it was a bate and switch for free app- right into buy it now for a deal, or commit to a subscription after a trial. I think it’s a good idea but a lot of work to be done

  • Very Difficult

    I’m trying to add categories and there are no directions to help. I requested assistance, nothing, may have been a waste of money.

    Developer Response

    No assistance sucks. We're sorry, but we may not have received your request. Adding a category is quite simple, you can do it while creating your custom timer. Create Timer > Category > Add New Category (Choose Icon, Add Name), your category will be added to the bottom of the list. In case you don't want to do it that way, you can simply go to the Settings > Add Category > Choose Icon, Add Name and your category shall be added. We're sorry that you didn't get any assistance, but could you please shoot us an email at boltqmedia@gmail.com (we'll try to respond as quickly as possible!)
  • Good so far

    I love the easy way to navigate
  • Useful and practical

    After the latest bug fixes (timer continues to run in background), this app has become my go-to time (& sanity) management tool at work! Highly recommend!

    Developer Response

    Thanks for mentioning the problem, could you please update the app to the latest version. We've fixed it. Besides that, we've also enabled fixed the music issues (which means, the other music apps that you are using won't pause while using the Focus timer). Isn't it great? You could play your Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube music playlist while using the timer (earlier, any music player would've stopped!) Would request you to please try the latest build and update the review! In case any issues still persist, you could reach out to us via Contact Form inside the app or boltqmedia@gmail.com
  • Tbh

    It’s been 2 secs since I fist opened this app and I gotta be fr it’s alr looking up I think this might reallly help me in future things thx
  • Includes everything needed

    The free version includes everything you need to get started right away and works similar to any Pomodoro timer. The ability to play the ambient sounds together is unique and might be really useful in the paid version since only two are included for free and one is too jarring for me. It would be nice if the premium ambient sounds could be previewed before purchase. If most people using this app are like me, I’m very sensitive to sound and generally only find one or two acceptable. If I could hear samples of the premium options, I’d be much more likely to purchase them. Also, since I do have such a sensitivity to sound, the short sound clips in the free version are distracting. Hearing the track stop and restart every few minutes interrupts my focus. Tracks that last as long as the focus session would be great, but 5 minutes at a time at least would really improve my experience.
