## What is POKA Focus?

POAK is dedicated to helping you maintain an efficient working state and obtain a good concentration experience.

After you begin to focus, if you leave POKA for more than 10 seconds, you will be considered unfocused, and write to the record.

In addition, POKA determines whether you are unfocused by detecting the "lock screen action" of the phone. If the phone "locks the screen", it is considered that you are in focused. If the phone screen is "unlocked" and you fail to return to POKA within 10 seconds or "Relock the screen". You will be considered as unfocused.

POKA Focus is the first product on the iOS platform that supports the "application whitelisted". You can add different whitelist apps for different focused topics. When focusing, just click on the white list application icon on the POKA interface to leave POKA and jump to other apps without being considered unfocused.
 
In order to more accurately count your focusing status. We recommend that you set TouchID, FaceID or lock screen password for your phone, so as to ensure that the statistical results such as the length of concentration and the time of distraction are not going wrong. POKA will not share your focus-related data with any third party. All your focus records and data are stored in your personal iCloud private zone, and only you have the right to access it.

### 5/5 — 发现的一些严重不足

*2021-12-08*

发现的一些严重不足之处，首先设置白名单以后只要是从软件内点击进入白名单，而后再从白名单内点击任意软件，都不会被计入分心，这样的话这个软件分心记录的作用就没用了。

故而建议开发者优化这个不足之处，最好是直接设置锁机，只能使用白名单不能使用其他的，强制锁机那种。

### 1/5 — It doesn’t worth a penny

*2021-09-20*

There are zero future tagging and anything that makes a great app

### 5/5 — 建议改善白名单应用添加方式

*2021-08-13*

目前要添加白名单应用只能一个一个搜名字，非常麻烦，而且有的应用未被收录，为什么不直接在已经下载的应用里点选呢？

### 5/5 — 希望增加记忆

*2021-07-01*

下次打开软件的时候能够保持上次关闭软件设置的番茄钟时长，这样就不用每次打开软件都需要重复多次点击番茄钟来设置了

**Developer response:** 收到

### 4/5 — 为什么微信从白名单里给删除了？

*2020-11-17*

为什么今天突然在专注的时候 把微信添加到了白名单应用里却怎么也打不开啊？
好影响效率的呀
麻烦开发方快点解决这一问题哦

### 5/5 — 有白名单好评

*2020-09-04*

白名单基本实现我的需求，但是想知道能不能在不专注的时候加强一点惩罚机制？只是记录不专心对我来说感觉没什么威慑力哈哈哈

### 4/5 — one of the few that has whitelist app but needs to improve

*2020-08-07*

simple and easy to use but there are so many apps that i can't add to my whitelist like document, adobe reader, dictionaries, music players etc.

### 3/5 — 专注状态识别有点bug，广告提示加载失败，无法识别到了第二天依旧提示三次次数已尽。

*2020-08-05*

有的时候专注状态打开非白名单应用检测不到分心，有的时候专注状态打开白名单应用被识别为分心。
广告提示加载失败，看不了广告。
前一日用完三次数次，第二天一大早依旧提示三次免费次数已尽。
不知道是不是因为需要icloud同步数据的缘故？我是没空间了。
上面问题重装会好，但是第二天又发生，不知道是不是数据同步有问题。

**Developer response:** 目前还需要保持iCloud开启的，我们下个版本改进这个问题

### 5/5 — 一点小建议

*2020-06-09*

可以把归档的那个按钮放大一点吗，现在的按钮对于频繁切换任务的人不是很友好。别的地方都很不错

### 5/5 — Spotify

*2020-06-03*

麻烦添加，听音乐的软件

**Developer response:** Spotify has been added to the database, please search "Spotify" in the whitelisted apps
