Note: Some mobile phone manufacturers (like Huawei, Xiaomi) take very aggressive measures against apps that need to run in the background, to save battery life. If Foca App gets killed, please follow the steps below to improve stability:

1. Turn off battery saving mode.
2. Lock the app on the multi-task screen.

Or you can turn on the "Screen Always On" switch in the settings, to avoid background running.

Ratings and reviews

This app is amazing. Foca has helped so much in keeping me focused when studying, and that's saying a lot since I tend to have trouble actually focusing and getting work done when I'm at home. The format is minimalistic, and just overall really nice to use, especially since there aren't any ads. Honestly, just try it out and see how you like it, if you change your mind you could always delete it, but its definitely worth giving a try.

I love the simplicity of this app. My favorite thing about it are the categories for the sessions, such as "study," "work," etc. Other apps allow you to be specific about the exact task you want to finish in one session, but I find that stressful. What we want to work on can change as we're working on it, and this app provides the flexibility for that with its simple categories. I just bought it, so I'm begging you not to add thousands of distracting features! And please don't game-ify it!

Changing my rating from 5 stars down to 3 because I reinstalled the app after a while without it and despite purchasing the pro version back in 2021, the app acts like the free version. I emailed them over a week ago (September 13th, 2022), even sent a follow up email a few days later, and it's been radio silence. I love the app, but this issue is causing me to walk away from it. I hope it's resolved soon.
