Great

This is a really great app. The only critique I have is that it doesn’t give us more options for chimes and sounds. I’m so used to hearing the same chime noises that my brain pretty much ignores them sometimes.

Bueno pero costoso

La única razón por la que no le coloco las 5 estrellas es porque me parece que su precio no es el adecuado, incluso es lo que hace que quiera buscar otra app similar más económica

Could you support apple watch?

I want to keep me focused with apple watch.

Awesome

Helps for locking in!

Wonderful

Essential for an organised person

Almost perfect — one frustrating bug

Focused Work is the best timer on the market — and I mean that. I would give it five stars instead of four, but it crashes on me whenever I close the settings. I can open the settings with no problems, but the moment I close them, the app crashes. It's a consistent and frustrating issue. Otherwise, this is the best timer out on the market, and I hope the developer fixes this bug soon.

Response from developer

Wow thank you so much for leaving this incredibly kind review Gary! 🙏 That is absolutely fantastic to hear you're loving Focused Work this much, and no worries - was more than happy to help work through issues that popped up. Appreciate it so much. Hope Focused Work continues to help with focus for many moons ahead! 🔥

Amazing app

Love it

Sehr gut…

vor allem, wenn man wirklich schnell abgelenkt wird und gute Hinweise benötigt, um weiter zu kommen.

GAME CHANGER

I cannot for the life of me focus for a prolonged period of time at work, unless I am using this app… it’s genuinely the only thing that helps me zone in and run through my to do list. It’s simple to use, I love the positive little reminders during the focus times, and genuinely I walk away every time doing more work in the Pomodoro session than I have collectively all week.

Phenomenal

Focused Work is easily one of the best apps available, and one of only a handful of indispensable apps. Highly recommended.

Great productivity app!

I tested out about 10 productivity apps with pomodoro timers. I found Focused Work to be the best to meet my needs. It’s flexible enough to create all different kinds of timers and can also be customized with Apple shortcuts and custom timers. So great basic timers and can be customized. The interface isn’t quite as slick as some of the competitors in this space, but I always prefer function vs. glitz. Definitely give this app a try!

Shouldn’t be a subscription

There’s no syncing between Mac and iOS timers live so not sure why this is subscription based and not just a one time fee. I won’t be renewing.

Reminders are annoying

Great app and really helpful for keeping on task. However the little reminders that pop up halfway through each focus session are really distracting and actually break focus

Best Pomodoro Timer I have Used

The developer has made this timer very flexible and they are always making upgrades. They have been super responsive and open to feedback as well. I would highly recommend Focused Work!

I *really* like this

Having been diagnosed with ADHD late (I’m 59 today 😊) I’m constantly on the look out for anything that helps me stay focused and this app, after just a couple of days is doing it really well.

It’s easy to use and offers as much or as little as you want.

Thank you!

Really good

This app does exactly what you need it to, the free version works really well, you can choose to upgrade but it is not necessary, an overall really good app for increasing productivity

Stop nagging people for reviews

If I want to leave a review, I will. Your app has nagged enough that I’ll leave this one. Stop nagging me while I’m working for a review.
