Great app

No fuss no muss app! Love how it works and is keeping me focused and on task!

very good

good

It’s ok, some sounds don’t work whilst phone is locked

It’s a good app, but I have an issue others seems to have where the app doesn’t make a work complete/break end sound if the phone is locked or on its wallpaper, it works however if it’s unlocked. Ensured it has all the right permissions, doesn’t work with either focus on or off, reinstalled app, restarted iPhone.
It used to work at some point, but an update a while back seemed to have ruined it. Funnily enough the chronometer sound works if the phone is locked, so seems to be an issue with the app.

Great

Great overall

UI on mac could use an update

Helpful App

I find this app, very helpful. It has some great features, and it is free to use. Very helpful for people like me with ADHD that struggle with time management and keeping track of things/time/tasks.

I would love if you could have the sound on the timer go off even if your phone was on silent. I often have my ringer off so that every text/notification doesn’t interrupt me. However, that means I can’t hear the end of the timer.

Another improvement that I would love to see, that would make this app even more helpful Would be the ability to make different lists. You can make topics, but I haven’t figured out if you can look at just certain things under a topic. That way you could make job/home/project type of lists. Or make list that are for the day, or the week or the month, etc.

Awesome!

Really helps you get the work done

Features disappeared.

I’m really confused. I bought this app for my computer a year ago for the blocking feature that I could use to block websites that distract me. But now I downloaded on my phone too, but I can’t find this feature anywhere on the app and I don’t see them advertising that feature anymore in the App Store. Did they stop this feature? I don’t think it’s worth it to pay for if it doesn’t have this feature anymore

Great tool for concentrating

Really helps to focus on tasks and you know you have a defined time to focus it stops your mind wandering!

The worst app

Omg this app cant be real im using it since 2022 until now 2026, and it hasn’t made any progress it look soo old and isn’t flexible and it suddenly deleted all my data!!
I didn’t move to other app because of my data which was saved since prep year in college, now it became USELESS .

Best app ever

#1 App

Number one App the greatest experience

Live activities for lock screen and Dynamic Island stops working after one cycle

Great app and simple to use, just one major bug that is making me want to switch to another timer is the fact that the live timer does not reset when a cycle finishes. It times out / stays at 0 and does not reset the countdown in the lock screen, unless you reopen the app.

The skip work interval is also not intuitive - it should be relabelled as restart work interval because that's in essence what it is doing, not skipping it. The number of completed work intervals remains the same.

Me encanta

Me parece una plataforma muy útil además de eso muy fácil de usar y demasiado precisa herramientas

Love it

Keeps me focused studying for nursing school! Download it, you will love it!

Procrastination Solution

I really use be focused for tasks that are either hard to get started on or overwhelming to push through. Sometimes about add a timer with breaks keeps me focused and motivated.

Each time I change an Apple device I have to purchase this app again

As I mentioned in the title, I love this app but I have bought it twice already. I changed my laptop, and phone and again I can’t access the purchased app in restore purchases. It’s so frustrating. I’ve tried all avenues, yes I bought the app with an old login in, however my updated login is what I bought the last app with. Any advice would help? Not really into buying the same product three times.

Simple and Efficient

The Focus app keeps me on target with my workflow and helps me stay productive throughout the day. It works exactly as intended—I’ve had no issues at all.

SIMPLE AND EFFICIENT

It’s a simple, no nonsense, effective app! While the pro does have its perks, it works just well even with the free version! Been using it for 4 years, my whole medical journey with this pomodoro app!

Very recommended!!

Really helps you to focus but also to take your breaks! Hard work and rest are equally important. 🙌🏻
