Thanks

Catching Ghosts to stay off phone is worth the download.

I caught 10 Ghosts one being one I requested to be added which was Rachel Joy Scott David was quick to research and add her to keep her spirit alive. I also caught Heath Ledger. I can't wait to see how many more I can capture. I also caught Kurt Cobain.

Great concept

I like how you get 3 chances to leave the app without undoing your work.

I do wish that the display with the timer stayed on. Other apps like Finch do allow this.

Like it but room for improvements

I get more work done!

This app has improved my productivity by at least x2. I now get more work done and use less time on my phone scrolling through social media endlessly when I should be working. Once I’m sat at my system, I run a focus timer and put that in a loop till I’ve achieved my set goals for that day.

Great app!

I love that this app incentivizes not looking at my phone! I do think that getting quicker rewards in the early stages would motivate me more to run more timers. Running 10 timers just to catch my first ghost made me slack off. Overall, the user interface is very good! I love the little ghost/avatars and quotes :) keep up the good work!

Ingenious idea!

Makes me excited to stay off my phone, to see what ghost I’ll be catching next, and to read what that ghost has to say!

Fantastic utility

The only app I’ve found that FORCES you to lock in - by tracking when you leave the app, which can’t be circumvented. Very clever idea! I also like that you can customize which ghosts you meet.

A great tool for productivity!

Tried catch the ghost since I tend to get distracted a lot during work and I end up spending a lot of time on my phone. The focus timer in the app has helped me stay on track to complete my tasks and the design of the timer and the corresponding “catching apparitions” concept with artworks is unique and well done!

Updated to four stars after hearing from the devs

**Update: As I hoped was true the Easter egg apparition was intended to be false. It turns out that the feature that would have marked it as being fiction hadn't rolled out yet. If after the update I feel that it's obvious that this apparition was meant to be tongue in cheek I will update to five stars. But it still rubs me wrong that some people might be able to misinterpret and think that the info was true. **

I honestly thought that I was going to be coming here to write a five star review. Because I love this app. But before I decided to come and write my review I did one more focus session and I got an Easter egg apparition for Mr. Rogers, except that it was a description of being in the fighting in Vietnam. It was written as though Fred Rogers was a soldier in Vietnam and was sharing his experience. The problem with this is that Fred Rogers never served in the military. I did see that the apparition was marked as an Easter egg and I thought maybe that meant that it wasn’t true, but I couldn’t find anything marked anywhere that it was not true. So I went ahead and unlocked all of the rest of the apparitions for Mr. Rogers. There is still nothing to indicate that the Easter egg apparition is not true. I have no idea where this whole “Mr. Rogers in Vietnam" diary entry came from, but it is pure fiction and very misleading not to have it labeled as such. It baffles me that a thirty second Google could have prevented this.

It pains me to do this but there is patently false information in this app

Not working

Downloaded, lunched and isn't working at all in iPhone 15

Response from developer

If you need support, please reach out to us at aeeiee.com/support and we’ll be happy to assist. You may be experiencing a bug we have not encountered yet. As far as we know, there are no issues with the app launching on iPhone 15.

Amazing App!

Pokémon for adults in the best way possible. Enjoy the design aesthetic of the pixelation, quotes, and simple and effective UI.

One UX improvement: The app doesn’t provide an incentive for focus periods of longer lengths: the coins allocated for 4 30-min sessions is more than 1 2-hour session, despite them being the same amount of time. This incentives users to use these lesser focus times, making them use their phones more to set up these shorter sessions - which is counter-intuitive to the purpose of the app.

As a solution, a coin multiplier for longer periods (contra: equal amount of coins by cutting longer periods of time to smaller sections) would enable users to focus for longer periods of time - and enhance the purported functionality of the app.

Otherwise, great job! Love it.

Didn’t work

The app didn’t work. I tried downloading 4 times but couldn’t do anything other than click the ‘Get Started’ button which then brought up a window with ‘Continue with Apple’s ‘, ‘Continue with Google’. It would log in, show the same ‘Get Started’ image and then I would repeat this over and over. I was never able to get it working.

Not bad

So far I think it’s a pretty good app. I don’t like that you lose your timer if you lock your phone, makes me feel like I’m using more battery than needed (even if it’s a dark screen). If I continue and don’t mind it, I’ll change my review

Have to have all constantly running

I LOVE the concept of this app and it’s something I would really use if I didn’t have this issue. You have to have the app constantly on during a focus session which I find just makes screen time go up as the screen is constantly on which is a real shame!

Famous Muslims?

Separate categories for famous Christians & Jews but not Muslims, it puts off 2b potential users.

Nice work!

I‘ve been following the creators of this app on LinkedIn and finally downloaded this. It’s improving pretty rapidly! This is a committed development team that is very responsive to user feedback. Keep up the good work!

Big improvement

I love this! Can’t wait to see the new features!

Great concept

Pretty neat for a pomodoro app. I'd like the ability to set my own timer tho.
