I tried to question this by giving feedback and received an error message. This app is simply a pomodoro timer with no ability to adjust times like my free pomodoro app does and reminder which I can set on my phone for free. ### 3/5 — Stop running in the back *2024-07-09* As I was using the app for intermittent fasting, the live progress on the lock screen shows I have 5 more hours left when I woke up this morning, but when I clicked into the app, the timer disappeared and my progress was lost. **Developer response:** Hi Betty.Qi thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We appreciate your feedback and we will check the issue. Please feel free to connect with us at apps.support@alteqlab.com and let us know more. ### 3/5 — Schedule View Needed *2024-02-17* There should be a way to plan / schedule your day with the timers created. **Developer response:** Hi, thanks a lot for your review we will discuss how to implement this feature. If you need anything else, feel free to contact us at m@alteqlab.com — Marina from Focus Timers team. ### 3/5 — The app stops running in the background *2023-10-16* I would love this app if it wasn’t for the fact that whenever I lock my phone the app stops running in the background. If I lock my phone and I’m away for more than an hour, when I open the app back up - the timer has stopped running. **Developer response:** Hi, thank you very much for your constructive feedback! We’ll improve this case as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience and your input on this! If there’s anything else you need, you can always contact us at m@alteqlab.com — Marina from Focus Timers team ### 4/5 — Best Focus Timer *2024-02-23* I have tried a million focus timers and pomodoro timers. This is my favorite. The clean visuals, the timer countdown and the ring showing the passage of time. All is great. Love the ability to really customize your focus timers and pause what you’re doing too. One request: please make it drain my battery less. I have an iPhone 15 max. I can play the most graphically demanding games, watch videos, play music, FaceTime. Oddly, none of that drains my battery like just having this app on. Also, my phone gets very very warm too. I only keep it on the timer screen with the screen on and app open. Thanks! **Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are grateful for your kind words! If you still have any issues or questions, please reach out to us directly at apps.support@alteqlab.com. Please, check the updated version we improved energy efficiency. Now the app uses less energy and saves your battery. Thank a lot for your help! ### 4/5 — Missing To-do list *2024-02-02* Overall, this app is one of my top five Pomodoro apps of all time- and I have seen a LOT. And, although this does not have to do with the Pomodoro technique specifically, it is a basic function that most Pomodoro apps have: a to-do list. I need to be able to see what I have to do before I estimate how many pomodoro’s it will take to finish it. Or how long everything will take so I can set my timer, or fit in something, cut out something, etc. This developer team seems very open and welcoming, so hopefully they take in my request. I understand that it must be hard, especially given that the app has so much. However, a to do list (preferably with recurring/subtasks options) would make this app a five star app for sure. Thanks. **Developer response:** Hi and thanks for your time to leave a review and great suggestions mean a lot to us, thank you! We’ll discuss how we can make Focus more useful for your productivity.

For three days, I experimented with this app and it enabled me to accomplish more tasks than before. I am overjoyed about that and I will keep working on my focus abilities ### 5/5 — Super help for my Focus *2024-08-09, version 1.4.1* I was looking for an app to train my concentration skill, coz I need to boost my progress at work and reach out that for the last two years I got easily distracted and did less things than I planed. Tried this app for 3 days and this app helped me to do much more things than before. Super happy about that and will continue to develop my focus skills ### 5/5 — Amending my earlier review *2024-06-10* I had to mess with all my settings for sound but eventually I got audible alerts! Love the visual element and the ability to plan activities in sequence with a playlist. Adore ! **Developer response:** Thank you! It is very important for us!
