Functionality could be improved somewhat I think, but even so it’s the best app I’ve found for my brain, after trying out countless others. Thank you. ### 5/5 — Excellent Work Tool *2024-05-09* I have been searching for this app for ten years and am so happy to have finally found it! I have ADD and can't work from a prioritized Task List. I have gone through 20 different programs and they all have the same problem. I start my morning by updating the list of things that I need to get done and then I click on Focus Task and it assigns a single task at random. The only discipline I need is to work on that one task and then I get the satisfaction of marking it complete and getting another one. I need to get stuff done, it doesn't really matter the order I do them. I keep a list of daily and weekly tasks to put into the app. I have separate categories for specific types of activities. For example, I have a cleaning category and each day I put Cleaning into my main list and then it picks a room at random. My wife is so much happier with me that I put 20 minutes into cleaning somewhere in the house each day! They will update the app with more features if people spend the couple of bucks on the pro version which gets you multiple categories. This app is work hundreds of dollars. ### 4/5 — Can you edit list title after it’s set? *2024-04-26* Love the simplicity. I’m sure I’ll use it often. Just would like to rename list if possible. Can this be done? **Developer response:** Thanks for the review! This will be possible in the next update. ### 5/5 — Underrated *2023-10-14* Great app since I have ADHD. Also this app is so underrated ### 5/5 — I like it! *2023-08-25* I really like the app so far, it was exactly what I needed! Are there any plans to allow a user to pick a background color? **Developer response:** Hi Farrahwinter, Thank you so much for the review and for the idea! Yes I'll make sure to add a few options in the next update. ### 4/5 — Needs a way to uncheck all boxes in a list quickly so I can reuse *2023-06-29* I like everything but wish there was a way to reuse the list by unchecking all. I use at least 2 of my lists on a daily basis but it’s annoying to have to uncheck all 20+ tasks at the end when I’m done. I would love a way to uncheck all. This app is amazing and I would use it for so much more! Like a master packing list, weekly chore list, even talking bullet points if there was a way to do one thing in order instead of just random. So I guess my 2 suggestions are: 1) an “uncheck all” button for unchecking all tasks so I can reuse a list easily (PLEASE MOST IMPORTANT). 2) a way to focus on just one task but not random (although this is not important). **Developer response:** Thank you so much for the review rosafranks2985! These are great ideas and I'll make sure they make it into the next update :-). Thanks again! ### 5/5 — Only 2 things missing *2023-04-19* The only things missing are: 1) the ability to uncheck all boxes at once so I can reuse a list I made without having to uncheck each individual box at a time (it is a pain to check long lists). 2) have a way to do one task is order so it’s not always random. Everything else is awesome! I love this app and use it for so many things!!! **Developer response:** Thank you so much for the review rosafranks2985! These are great ideas and I'll make sure they make it into the next update :-). Thanks again! ### 1/5 — Not great *2023-01-13* You cannot choose which task shows up on the widget, or at least it’s not obvious how to do so. **Developer response:** Hi Ryan, Thank you for the feedback! The idea of the app was to have a random task show up every time, but I'll make sure you can also show them in order in the next update. Best, Rauno ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2022-12-12, version 1.3.2* Perfectly achieves what it advertises. Buying the premium version unlocks a couple more things, however it is still very functional without. Great app! 🙏 ### 5/5 — Only one thing missing *2022-12-08, version 1.3.2* I use this app for all my lists: master packing list, daily chores, bills I have to pay, step by step instructions, presentation prompts, etc etc… I just love it and it helps me stay focused! The only problem I have is that I cannot easily “uncheck” all the check marks after I am done with my list - I reuse all my lists, but I have to uncheck them one at a time - which is SO time consuming (and annoying) that some days I don’t even want to open the app. Please make it possible to uncheck all 🙏 thank you! PS: one more small suggestion: I would love the option to either focus randomly on one task (as it currently allows) or to focus on a task in order! That would make this my 100% daily life app for every routine I have. From work, to morning/night routines, to using it for speeches I give. I can literally push the button to advance to the next task and have my one prompt right there! This would be so amazing! ❤️ Everything else in the app is perfect 😊 Edit: Thank you for your response! I look forward to the update! ## Frequently asked questions about Focus Task ### What does Focus Task do? Focus Task helps you concentrate by displaying one random task at a time on your screen.
