Ratings and reviews

I've gotten back into the habit of using this again and I love it! One thing I'd love to see is the option to either take a break or focus when opening the app. it seems the only way to start a break is after having finished focusing, but I'd like to use it as a way to cue me to stop scrolling before heading to bed. if I wasn't doing a focus before, I don't have that option. I feel like it would be more effective than just setting my timer since I know my bean is waiting on me.

LOVE IT! Such a cute way to stay focused and accountable. Customization is such a huge motivator for people like me so more bean options like color, shape, outfits, or facial expressions would be great! I would also really appreciate a slightly more in-depth tracking system, with data about the time you spent focusing (weekly or monthly graphs) and on what subject (studying, hobbies, cleaning, etc.). Can't wait to see what the future holds!

Even the free version of focus friend has enough going on to make it well worth the while to install and use it. The bean character is fun without being annoying. The one thing I wish I could do is choose the decoration items from a list instead of having to try and click on them in the room. That works great when you're decorating for the first time and you can click on the choose buttons, but when you're gradually switching to a different theme, it's hard to click on items to replace them.
