Good app! Can be greater!

Does the developer still support this app?? It’s so good. Only thing that would make it greater is if there we can see previous days’ tasks as well. Sometimes I don’t get to my task that day and would be nice to have it carry over automatically instead of being forgotten the next day. Then this app would be GREATTTTT!

Thank you so much for the positive feedback! We will be pushing an update out soon that will address your concerns, so stay tuned.

Needs to update privacy details

This went free today on 11 April 2022. Privacy details not updated. Potential users should scroll down and read the privacy policy. I would like a dev to be upfront about such things and update the information. Either that or dev cannot be bothered to maintain and update the app.

Response from developer

We apologize for the confusion and lack of communication. We recently decided to make Focal free (with potential in-app purchases in the future) because we wanted people to be able to access the core features of Focal without cost. We will make sure to update our privacy policy with our update coming out soon.

No need to ask for personal info

For an app that provides a simple task, there should be no reason to have to sign in to my google account through the APP to use the app.

This seems like an invasion of privacy and a security risk.

There should be no need to sign into anything.

Love Focal!!

I usually use paper todolists, but Focal just stands out. It's not complicated, but it has everything I want in a productivity app. The timer and notification system helps me stay focused while I'm doing my tasks, and the statistics gives me a birds eye view on my productivity trends. I would recommend Focal to everyone who wants to get more productive!

Great

Focal helped me improve my productivity by a lot

Best app ever no cap

This is the best app of all time no cap. My productivity increased by 69x after using it for an hour.

Good tool!

This app is very easy to use!

Great app!

Looking forward to much improvements! Great start!

This app saved my sons life

Doctor told us to install and his coronavirus was cured

Very Useful!!

I have only been using the Focal app for a couple of days now but it has already made me do more of my summer homework than I have done in the past month. My favorite feature is the statistics page where I can track how I have been doing. No complaints here.

Keep up the good work 😎

πŸ™πŸ™ made me much more productive πŸ’―πŸ’―

Focal has been great so far, it’s kind of like the Forest app combined with a to do list.

I usually start my day by ordering the work I need to do, and then I start the timer to make sure I don’t get distracted by my phone while working on it. It’s also super helpful to have an idea of how long I spend on my tasks. Great job team! Looking forward to more features and improvements πŸ‘πŸ‘

Great start!

It’s a great start. A couple of suggestions. 1. Allow to define task start time and end time 2. Allow reoccurring tasks.

Response from developer

Thank you so much for trying the app! We will keep the feedback in mind πŸ’―

Great app!

I’ve tried tons of different productivity apps, but they don’t encourage me to focus like Focal does. I especially love the stats feature so that I can quickly get a summary of my productivity that day or throughout the week.
