### 5/5 — Good app

*2026-08-15*

Good easy to use and fun to work with

**Developer response:** Hi, thank you for trying Focus Quest - stay focused, study timer, focus app. If you have any feedback/suggestions, please leave a message on our forum (https://forum.shikudo.com/c/focusquest) or join our discord channel (https://discord.com/invite/n7aKpXz). Hope we can help with your study, productivity and to-do!

### 4/5 — 已經綁了心向帳號，但只有時間花園同步了，時間大冒險沒同步

*2026-05-23, version 0.29.6*

如題

### 5/5 — great but please make stuff cheaper

*2026-05-23, version 0.29.6*

I know you guys need money from ads and locking stuff behind ads but I think you should make music cheaper because I think 500 is a bit much without paying. I think that even 200 would be good, please see this.

### 4/5 — Poor "randomization" and odds stacking

*2026-04-20, version 0.29.6*

Took me 55 tries with rabbit foot to get divine gear (should have had around 4-5) - this happens constantly whether it's gear, skill chests, or mystic cabin items. 

"Randomization" needs fixing, or stated odds should reflect the true hidden odds and parameters.

### 5/5 — Not getting subscription benefits or adequate support.

*2026-04-19, version 0.29.6*

I paid for the subscription but am not getting the benefits, despite reinstalling, rebooting, etc. I also can’t connect support or report a bug without going to an external website, creating an account, and posting on a community forum — not contacting the support team directly or submitting a ticket.

### 5/5 — Ok

*2026-03-16, version 0.29.3*

Ok

### 5/5 — バグ報告と改善して欲しいところ

*2026-01-29*

バグ報告:ステージを一つでもクリアすると、貯めていたタイムリフトパスのポイントがリセットされる

改善して欲しいところ:
①近日公開が3年以上公開されていない
②他のメンバーとの1vs1などの機能
③どれだけレベルを上げてもプレイヤーの姿が貧しいボロボロの衣装なので、装備ごと、あるいはレベルごとに変えて欲しい。
④たくさんのスキルがあって面白いので4つ以上のスキルを組み合わせて戦いたい。

以上です。他のゲームの開発で忙しいのもわかりますが、まずは、現在たくさんの人がプレイしてくれている過去のゲームに焦点を当ててみるのはどうでしょうか。

**Developer response:** こんにちは、「フォーカス・クエスト - 勉強アプリ、勉強時間管理アプリ、スマホ依存対策」をお試しいただきありがとうございます。問題を解決するために、問題のビデオを mars.zhu@shikudo.com に送っていただけますでしょうか？その間に、ゲームをアンインストールして再インストールし、動作するかどうかご確認いただけますか？あなたの仕事と勉強を楽しんでください！

### 5/5 — たのしいです。

*2026-01-17*

めちゃくちゃ楽しいです。これ友達とフレンドになることはできるんでしょうか？友達と一緒に高めあえたら楽しいだろうなって思います^^

### 5/5 — Add friend

*2026-01-06, version 0.29.3*

I love this focus and game crossover very much. Helps loads. I’m wondering if you can add friends in this game though? I think that would be really cool.

### 5/5 — Super !

*2025-12-21, version 0.29.3*

Pou l’instant j’adore, je cherchais justement une app de focus mais avec de l’histoire ! Et en français. C’est top !
