The charity donation feature is a nice touch too 🙌 ### 5/5 — Very effective app *2025-01-31, version 1.2.8* Helped alot ### 5/5 — Very helpful *2025-01-31, version 1.2.8* Nice ### 5/5 — Amazing App *2025-01-31, version 1.2.8* Helps so much ### 5/5 — My screen time has improved *2025-01-31, version 1.2.8* I’m a student at college at st Patrick’s, without fluid focus, I could have been missing my deadlines for coursework, I’ve gotten all my coursework all up to date. I couldn’t be anymore thankful for this app ❤️❤️ ### 5/5 — I WON THE JACKPOT *2025-01-28, version 1.2.8* Not normally one to write reviews but this one was worth it after winning the £100 jackpot! A great app has just becoming a little better 🥳 ### 5/5 — Game Changer *2025-01-22, version 1.2.7* This app has assisted me in at least doubling my productivity, I had been using the pomodoro technique for productivity in the past but inconsistently. Now with fluid focus I am actually incentivised to do so making gamification of my productivity much easier. ### 5/5 — Great GUI. Easy to use *2025-01-06* I've been a user of blocksite's app in the past, this one seems even more intuitive in how to use, and the ambient music feature is a real plus as I can leave my music app on the block list... that was otherwise a real time sink! Has helped with my CFA studies and at work. Don't see my earned coins building up though, just an fyi **Developer response:** Hi Jimmy - thanks for the feedback, and glad to hear Fluid Focus proving a useful tool for study and work. Sorry to hear about the earned coins not building up though... can you please send us an email with some additional information and any relevant screenshots, and we'll investigate? Please contact us at: help@fluidfocus.app. Thx - Glenn ### 5/5 — Gamechanger *2024-12-21* Great app, I have been using it daily and it has really helped me take back ownership of my social media usage ### 5/5 — Muy buena aplicación *2024-11-17* Me gusta mucha la interfaz de la aplicación, realmente cumple con su propósito. Tienen que descargarla! **Developer response:** Muchas gracias Astrid, nos alegra saber que la aplicación te está ayudando :) Best, Connor ### 5/5 — Amazing and helpful app *2024-08-30, version 1.1.1* I have really bad ADHD and hoped an app like this would come along to help me manage my inabilities to focus etc. I use it every day whilst either working/meditating/just want a break. I love the deals as well! Makes it more fun to do focus sessions. Love this app! ### 5/5 — I LOVE this app! *2024-08-30, version 1.1.1* This app is great for when I need to crack on with my work without any distractions. Would highly recommend! ### 5/5 — Tuned In 📡 *2024-07-06, version 1.0.8* Really enjoying using this app as of late, helping me work more efficiently, by developing new, and facilitating current, ‘deep work’ practices. Good job guys 👍🏾 ### 5/5 — A must have for productivity and focus! *2024-07-06, version 1.0.8* This app has really helped me to regain control of my productivity. It offers the perfect solution to social media distraction, allowing me to focus on what needs done! It’s easy to use and seamlessly fits into my daily routine. Highly recommend for a balanced work-life 🧘‍♂️ ### 5/5 — Quality App *2024-06-03, version 1.0.8* Fantastic App and a great concept. As much as mobile phones are essential to daily life scrolling wastes so much time. And to stop scrolling and focus, and get rewarded to do so is a great idea/incentive. ### 5/5 — Such a great way to stay on track *2024-06-02, version 1.0.8* As someone who is so easily distracted, and constantly losing focus while trying to work, finish off personal admin or even struggled to find time for my own goals, Fluid Focus has been game changing. Being able to set doable time limits with zero distractions, and reaping the benefits not only in the form of improved productivity but also Fluid Coins. I’d highly recommend this app to anyone who’s frustrated with not being able to stay on track and is constantly interrupted by social media. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Great! *2024-04-30, version 1.0.4* Really good, excellent for revision: very customisable for your references, from music to study to to length of focus sessions. Would definitely recommend ### 2/5 — Has potential, but still needs a lot of improvements *2025-12-18, version 1.2.22* I really wanted to like Fluidfocus, but it still feels very raw and unfinished. There are a lot of bugs — random glitches, features not working properly, and occasional freezes that make the app frustrating to use. Because of this, it’s hard to rely on it on a daily basis. Compared to Opal, Fluidfocus just isn’t competitive right now. Opal feels stable and polished, while Fluidfocus feels more like an early beta. The UI needs refinement, performance needs improvement, and the focus tools don’t feel reliable enough yet. The app has potential, but until the bugs are fixed and the overall experience is more stable, it’s hard to recommend. I might come back in the future, but right now it needs serious work. ### 4/5 — Has really good potential *2025-04-06* Clean & simple UI, but please, add dark mode option, I keep all apps in dark mode because they help keep my mind calm :) thank you! **Developer response:** Hi Micaela, Thanks for your feedback, we're glad to hear you're enjoying the app. Dark mode is on our backlog and we will look to action it as soon as we can (there's a host of new exciting functionality that is due to land first so stay tuned for that in the meantime!). Best, Connor ### 4/5 — Great GUI. Easy to use *2025-02-07, version 1.2.8* Has helped with my CFA studies and at work. New issue/ hopefully a quick fix: I have to either remain in the app, or lock the screen with always-on display disabled so that the timer works as expected: if I go onto other apps or stay on the home screen then the timer cancels itself after 5 seconds. This means being productive on my phone say, reading pdfs doesn't gel with having the timer on. Negates attraction for having an app blocker. ### 4/5 — Great GUI. Easy to use *2025-01-26* Has helped with my CFA studies and at work. New issue/ hopefully a quick fix: Countdown no longer stays active (reduces to a 5 second countdown) when 1) I lock my screen or 2) I go onto other apps. The emergence ofn this behaviours is recent to the past week or so. The change negates value add, given the point is to be able to use "good apps" (but not blocked ones) or work on say my Desktop Computer while the countdown is on the background on the phone. In order to maintain the countdown I now have to have the screen on and be in the app, which seems at best like a drain on battery... Looks like the app blocking does at least remain when the 5 seconds are up. Looks like the coins accrual bug has been fixed though, which is a quick turnaround! **Developer response:** Hi Jimmy - thanks for the feedback, and glad to hear Fluid Focus proving a useful tool for study and work. We recently introduced a degree of strictness on accruing Fluid Coins, as in theory, users could block some (but not all) distracting apps, leave the focus area to use them - whilst also collecting Fluid Coins. I know this is not the case with yourself, but that is the rationale behind this design change. However, If your session was ended following a screen lock, you’ll need to update the following display settings on your iPhone to get around this. 1. Open Settings 2. Display & Brightness 3. Always on Display 4. Toggle it to “off” After doing this, you should be able to run a focus session, lock your screen and remain productive with your desktop work. We'd love to have a chat to hear more about your experiences using our app. Please contact us at info@fluidfocus.app if you're open to this. Thx - Glenn. ### 5/5 — Fab App *2026-02-13, version 1.4.1* This app is amazing for tracking and controlling phone usage. Super easy to use and really helps me stay focused. Plus, I won the jackpot and got a £250 Nike voucher ### 5/5 — My first week and I’ve already won £250 *2026-02-02, version 1.3.3* I’ve only had the app for a week and I won a £250 voucher of my choosing. AND my screen time was down by 80% last week ### 5/5 — Its a good and wonderful app *2025-11-06, version 1.2.15* Nice ### 5/5 — Game changer *2025-08-22, version 1.2.9* This app makes me actually want to stay off my phone, very usable and a lot more simple than other alternatives ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2025-08-03, version 1.2.9* It’s very helpful as a push to stop procrastinating and has helped me focus much better in day to day life! Would really recommend this app :) ## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Life changing *2025-03-26, version 1.2.9* I can actually study without being distracted and it makes me study with an ulterior motive of wanting to win the jackpot (which eventually I did!!). It’s really good for keeping you motivated and on track while making sure you take frequent breaks with the max amount of time being able to work 50 mins, and giving you guided meditation and ideas for a break. Overall one of the best apps I have ### 5/5 — love this app (+jackpot!) *2025-03-18, version 1.2.9* Really like using this app to block apps and help me focus whilst I’m studying / working. Also love that you there is a weekly jackpot - I won the £100 jackpot (chose to get a sports direct voucher) :) Would recommend, great incentive to focus and limit distractions. ### 5/5 — Fluidlious! *2025-02-06, version 1.2.8* Wow! This app is amazing. I use it for when I am exercising so I can tune out any excess notifications! It’s great to destress and focus! Love it ### 5/5 — Review *2025-01-31, version 1.2.8* Amazing app! Allowed me to revise. ### 5/5 — Amazing app!!! *2025-01-31, version 1.2.8* Hi I'm a student from SPC in Dungannon and this app has been amazing in helping me to stay off my phone as a huge distraction during my revision sessions. I will continue to use this app:) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
