Leave a Review Focus Keeper
Good but ignores the whole point
App is good and subscribed upfront as soon as I saw there were individual settings for tasks - perfect! and watch app… BUT you’re ignoring the very essential point of having a focus app: no distractions! And ONLY having an iOS app takes us to the source of all distractions in the universe: our phones!!! Watch app is crap, just a timer basically with no complications, very disappointing… ok if your task is a workout (there’re better apps for that!) but useless overall. For anyone that uses for work, the ideal would be having a MacOS app or that the website synced the tasks when logged in… but the app doesn’t create an account for you and, even subscribing, the website seems to be a different thing because you may create an account with the same email used for subscribing the app that nothing happens! App and website are not synced or seem to be related at all. Anyway, what looked perfect doesn’t seem so good when put to work in real life. I’m not sure I’ll keep using the app. Hope you address these soon.Show lessReplaced my Daily Planner
I’m a time management nut. Time is our most precious commodity. Years ago, I was blessed to take a course by Charles Hobbs. His goal was to teach us how to free up time, and make the use of our efforts most productive. Mr. Hobbs changed my life. Strongly suggest his book, “Time Power.” The central point if his teachings was the Day Timer (an excellent paper tool). I searched for years for an app replacement, and this program comes closest. Modifications would include being able to move to-do’s up and down the list to set the priority of the day. The colors are helpful (red=“A priority, etc.), but the list can become too long and interfere with what I am trying to accomplish. And, I’d really like to be able to use it across platforms - & feel many would gladly pay an extra fee for these add-on add-ons. Many thanks to the developers.Show lessExtreme privacy data collection
I downloaded this and ditched it after going to their link and reading their privacy policies. They are quite extreme, and be skeptical if the developer replies and makes it sound like you can opt out of them. Their own site says in clear terms that opting out makes the app basically nonfunctional. I’ve used many apps, including having tried several Pomodoro apps, and this is one of the worst as far as your privacy rights. Your personal data should not be for sale or shared with entities like Facebook, Google, and others for advertising or ANY purposes. You’re already paying a subscription fee. There are other issues like their statement that they can retain your data as long as needed, but they don’t tell you what that period is after you delete your app. Flimsy wording like this is a sign of a developer who only has his own interests in mind, and I refuse to patronize developers who gather and share my personal data to this extent. Privacy matters. Regardless of any possible future response by the developer to downplay these issues I’ve mentioned, I encourage you to click the link and read their privacy policy for yourself.Show less
