I Genuinely hate you devs

Why did you ruin and add so much bloat to this app. It doesn’t even block apps properly anymore. I Genuinely hate every single one of you.

Worst app

I needed a 25 5 timer, it asks u bunch of questions for 5min and give u a 15 min timer u cant change, lol

Love this Focus app!

It really helps me to reign my thoughts in and focus hard, when I need too!

Horrible

Super complicated UI, no easy way to reset. Charged me for a full month for a 5 minute free trial. Awful in every way.

Great stuff but….

Work that price down. It’s hard to value your time sometimes. You ain’t got money and it’s herder. Drop that price.

Very helpful

Customizable Pomodoro timer love it

Good but getting more complex

This app has been my default timer for a long time. I do find that it has become somewhat confusing. For instance, in a recent update, the default setting is to turn off all your other apps on your phone. it's not entirely clear how to change the settings.

What have you done?

This app has become completely invasive where the default setting is to turn off all your other apps on your phone. I just got the updated version and it's not entirely clear how to change the settings.

It works

I particularly like app blocking functions so I can’t get distracted.

Helpful APP

Nice APP

Issue Summary

Issue Summary:
I noticed a problem in how Focus Keeper calculates focus time during a Pomodoro cycle.
Today, I completed the first session normally. In the second session, I had 7 minutes left but had to stop and leave the app from morning until late at night. When I came back at night, I finished the remaining 7 minutes, then completed sessions 3 and 4.
My real focus time for the day was 100 minutes.
However, the Achievements page counted the long break (from morning to night) as if it were focus time, and showed more than 10 hours of focus.
Expected behavior: The app should count only the actual minutes spent focusing, even if a session is paused for many hours.
Actual behavior: When a session is paused for a long time, the app adds the entire real-world gap to the focus total, which makes the daily focus time incorrect.
Please fix this issue so the focus time reflects actual work time only.

Focus

Helps me stay focused

Motivating

Thank you guys!! 🙏💖 Your app helps me stay on track & focused with my work. It is super helpful and I am extremely grateful for you creating this 🥰❤️ Thank you thank you thank you!! 🌟💐💕

Great app

I have been using everyday for 18 days and noticed a significant increase in productivity. Defs one of the better apps on the market and 100% worth paying for. Thank you to the dev team.

Paid app

Waste my time doing a dumb test, just want a timer like the internet one for my phone. Why does this have 5k reviews…?

Cross-device sync does not work

Unfortunately, this mobile app does not sync across Apple devices without the use of iCloud, so data you enter on the iPhone app does not show on the desktop web app or iPad. They need to make it clear upfront the lack of this capability.

Excellent

Great app

Free version is solid

Works well though sometimes I accidentally hit the screen and stop the tuner without realizing it. Maybe it would be better to only have the pause button control the timer.

It used to be so simple

This app a couple years ago used to be so simple - like all I need is a helpful pomdoro timer and that’s it. Now there’s so much on it and so many confusing extra stuff that I don’t need that makes it super hard and confusing to navigate…
