Subscription issues

Long story short, I wanted to test out this app during the trial period. I noticed on the subscription page the opportunity to switch to a cheaper subscription, but there was no prompt warning me the charge would be instantaneous nor that I would no longer be in the “trial” period and go straight to paid service. That was extremely disappointing. The app itself? It has great potential, but I’d argue it’s overpriced. I would like a feature to block app access, and if there is one, I’d like it to be more obvious because I can’t find it. The gameplay aspect is a nice touch but needs further development; it’s rather clunky. Im not incentivized to plant trees or free people using my focus points, so the dopamine reward is quite blunted. I almost wonder if less is more. Again, it has a lot of potential but I feel I very much overpaid.

Very well thought through!

Great app!! I tried many different habit tracking options, but this one does the things the way I like them! Habit and goal tracking is done just the way I like it! In particular, displaying of the habit progress and how it ties to a goal, and that you can see how much time you spent on that goal. Makes me feel accomplished to look back and say: hey, I put in good amount of effort into this goal this week, I am making progress!

Great game just needs some improvements

I love this game!!! It’s super motivating, especially after studying and getting to see my character level up. Getting the little chest and rewards, makes finishing task feel way more satisfying, and it actually makes me want to keep going.

There are just a few things that feel a little off to me. The writing animation feels pretty fast, and sometimes it looks like my character is running in mid air instead of just actually making contact with the ground. The jumping also feels a little too high. I think, slowing the movement down a bit and making the animation smoother, and making the character feel more grounded will make a big difference. Adding shadows could help with that too.
I also think some of the characters are a little too detailed compared to the style of the rest of the game.
By making the avatars and plants simplistic to the rest of the world, the same 8 or 16 bit size of the world. A little more or consistency in the character designs would make everything fit together better.

Overall, I really loved the game, especially the leveling system. It makes studying feel so much more rewarding!

Manipulative

Listen… I understand the goal of this is to be an manipulative and positive ways, but the questions asked and the responses they give during the questionnaire at the top of this experience were unfair and psychologically damaging. By asking how much time you spend on the screen per day, and then he equating that to an amount of money that you would be paid in minimum wage over those hours? That’s terrible. That’s tricking people and deciding it’s worth the money to spend on this app. There are other ways to communicate to someone that they could be spending their time and more valuable ways than on the phone without that level of shame, and folding to corporate greed “self-help “propaganda

Glad I found this

Just started with this app and enjoy it so far! I can’t wait to see how this will help me stick to my tasks. Of note It would be fun to have different themes to choose between (ie cyberpunk, sci fi) to keep things fresh for your hero, I hope this app will continue to be developed!

FAQ

What does Focus Hero do?

Focus Hero is a productivity app that combines a Pomodoro timer with role-playing game (RPG) elements. It helps users improve their focus, study better, and overcome procrastination by gamifying the process of completing tasks and achieving goals.

How does the gamification work in Focus Hero?

As you complete Pomodoro focus sessions, your in-game hero levels up, finds loot, and earns 'Focus Energy'. This energy can be spent to explore an RPG world, battle enemies, and save allies. The gamification is designed to motivate users and make productivity more engaging.

Is Focus Hero free to use?

The app is free to download and use, but it offers in-app purchases. These purchases likely unlock additional features or content within the RPG elements of the application.

Can I use Focus Hero offline?

Yes, Focus Hero offers an offline mode. This means the Pomodoro productivity timer, including local notifications and alarms, will function even without an internet connection, allowing you to stay focused anywhere.

Who is Focus Hero designed for?

This app is ideal for students, professionals, or anyone struggling with distraction, procrastination, or phone addiction. It's for individuals who want a more engaging and motivating way to manage their time and achieve their personal or academic goals.
