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

I absolutely do not recommend it. They ask for a premium subscription for almost every basic feature, including white noises, full statistics, focus categories, and even deciding the number of sessions you want to have. Why would someone pay a premium for a timer? That too upto 400 rs. Makes no sense. They really need to upgrade their services and stop looking for premium users in everyone who downloads the app.

I downloaded this app in hopes that it would help with my bad study habits. I am impressed with the app so far! It has 4 timed intervals and then timed breaks in between each interval which has helped to keep me focused and less distracted! I've only used this app once so far and my only complaint is that during one of the breaks I accidentally closed out my apps on my phone and lost all of the progress that I made so I was not able to finish the 4th interval. Please have it automatically save!

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!
