### 2/5 — use with multiple active apps?

*2022-02-01*

It seems if we switch to another app, the timer gets reset. i would want to keep the timer on as i work on Goodnote, for example.

### 1/5 — The items in the list disappeared

*2021-07-24*

Over tine your list keeps drinking down.

### 1/5 — Minimal Functionality, Crashes

*2020-12-28*

Deleted.

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2020-11-28*

Can’t lie I’ve used this app every single day for over a year, encountered the occasional bug but otherwise brilliant, all you need.

### 4/5 — Great ADHD helper

*2020-11-05*

I really do love the app. It has helped me a lot with staying on track. I have no concept of time or time management and I’ve used alarms to help me for awhile. With this app it does the I feel like I’ve earned my break at the end of each work session. My only complaint is that I can only set one time frame instead of different ones depending on what I’m doing. I have to set the time if I need a different amount of time. My day follows the same basic schedule each day, so being able to set a schedule of times in the app would be great.

### 3/5 — Simple & useful. Pity it's not compatible w older iOS versions

*2020-03-06*

I like this simple app better than more sophisticated ones and wanted to repurpose an iPad 4 to use only with a few work apps such as this one without all the distractions on my iPhone. I was disappointed to see that FocusList was not compatible with iOS 10 anymore. It is a pity that it has not retained its original iOS 9 and 10 compatibility, if only as a separate, unsupported or paying version

### 5/5 — Game changer.

*2019-10-16*

Been using this app for almost 2 months now., it will keep you committed to your work. Great app.

### 1/5 — Гениальное приложение заброшено

*2019-08-02*

Потрясающая программа, которая просто заброшена разработчиком. Ладно, если бы ей можно было пользоваться — обновления и новые функции тут не нужны. Важнее просто исправить ошибки. И все! Написал о них на почту, разработчик не ответил вообще ничего (уже пара недель прошла). Очень жаль, софт потрясающий

### 1/5 — Not what it promises

*2019-06-28*

I can’t regulate the time assigned for each task. The design and the setting of it is almost absent. Why did I spent my money here!!

### 2/5 — Apple Watch app seems to be broken

*2019-04-26*

I have a series 1 and the app used to work on it but now it doesn’t even show up on the watch. Reinstalling the app on my phone doesn’t work and my support email was never responded to.
