Ratings and reviews

This app is amazing. I've tried a lot of different focus apps, trying to find what's right for me and this won. There are so many features that this app has & most of it is free except for some color themes & a couple more advanced options. There's a to-do list that is really helpful & you can even put your tasks in order of priority. There aren't any ads & it's a simple yet effective design. You can set the timer to pomodoro or stopwatch which was really helpful for me. I highly recommend!

I Like the app. But there is one thing that bothers me since the last couple updates. I use a Pixel phone and when the timer is running, it makes the screen flicker. The screen is trying to settle but the app wakes it up again. I tried with always on display option ON and OFF. The flickering is distracting. I can turn my phone over but I do like to keep the phone face up; plus doing so turns off notifications. I do also miss the Pause feature. A fix would be appreciated.

The pro version is only $1.99 so a person can't complain. It does seem like all the features of person would actually use are in that pro version. It would be nice to have a free trial. I really liked being able to divide each task into self labeled parts. However, the slider underneath the task is not easy to advance. I kept trying to mark off a section completed and it kept checking the task as done. The statistics page on how often I was distracted could be a great tool.
