Hi
New version is available with a fix for that. Let me know if you still have the same issue. Did you have to change your phone settings or the latest version fixed the issue?
Alexis Alexis Theriault May 29, 2017
Thank you for your review! I just want to thank you.. Great app... Really helped me a lot to concentrate more...
Alexis Theriault May 25, 2017
Thank you for your review! Alexis Theriault May 26, 2017
Hi,
Thank you for your feedback. This is not a bad idea.
Alexis 1. I've tried all of the popular timer app in play store 2. Goodtime, Tide are basically buggy and non responsive when it come to it 3. After using your app I'm convince that this is the best one yet 4. Thank you 5. I notice while using continuous mode, it can make me not load my youtube video
Alexis Theriault May 22, 2017
Thank you for your feedback! It does that just with continuous mode? I will try on my phone to see if I can reproduce. I only used this app for like 30 min. I did 2 tasks and it improved my productivity! It would be much appreciated if there is a 'complete task' button for marking a task as completed rather than INCOMPLETE if I finish my task quicker than my expected duration. Thank you
Alexis Theriault May 23, 2017
Hi,
Thank you for your review. Your point is valid. When you say incomplete it is because you switch task and it added an incomplete session to it?
But I think it makes sense from the time screen to mark a task a completed and change to another in the same session.
Let me know if I understood you correctly.
Alexis This is the best time management app that i've used. One more useful feature that i would add (as other users mentioned) is a button to complete your session before the time is up, without marking it as incomplete. Sometimes you just finish your task faster.
Alexis Theriault May 24, 2017
Hi,
Thank you for your feedback. My understanding of the other comment similar to yours was tonne able to mark a task completed without having an incomplete session in it.
In your case you would like to say that your session is completed because your task is completed and go to a break? Then after the break start a new task? Wonderful app .. thank you for making it to control my time and increase productivity .. i have request plz.. can you add the ability to choose from any ringtone or mp3 to setup ?? Hope you consider my request 😊
Alexis Theriault May 22, 2017
Hi,
Your idea is good I was supporting it in the past but had too many issues with it. I may try again to include it and I could offer a choice between custom ringtone/sound and the one provided.
Can't tell you when it will be there but it is part of my backlog.
Thank you,
Alexis Best app of this type I have found. The only issue I have is that in continuous mode it doesn't vibrate at the end of a session (I have the sound turned off).
Alexis Theriault May 22, 2017
Thank you for your feedback. If you are not in continuous mode does the vibration works? Alexis Theriault May 25, 2017
Thank you for your review! Not a bad productivity application. Would have been better to include some sort of sync function via cloud to save tasks. Had to reset my phone and lost all my task data.
Alexis Theriault May 30, 2017
Hi,
Backup is now available sorry for not having it before.
Alexis It astonishes me how much more productive I am when I use this app. There is something about having built in break times that makes work less daunting. I use a 40 minutes work time with a twenty minutes break and that works for me.
Alexis Theriault May 16, 2017
Thank you for your feedback! It's an amazing app. I especially love the fact that I can add an extra minute or two to my times when I need a few minutes to complete a task within that session . I use it concurrently with an app called Studymusic which helps in terms of having some kind of sound playing so it would be helpful if a sound track could be included.
Alexis Theriault May 22, 2017
Thank you for your review! Do you know where I can find free sound? Alexis Theriault May 14, 2017
Hi,
Sorry but do you still have this issue? What is your phone and android version?
Thank you!
Alexis Alexis, is it possible to set the timer to pause when answering phone calls?
Alexis Theriault May 19, 2017
Hi,
Thank you for your feedback. Yes Inthink it would be possible. I will add this to my backlog. I will try to have this available soon.
Alexis It's so good for check your life and time when ı start the use this programe ı change my lifestyle
Alexis Theriault May 17, 2017
Thank you for your review! Solid 5 stars; this app helped me and will help me study more efficiently for my upcoming exams
Alexis Theriault May 19, 2017
Thank you for your review! I want to know how to categorize my tasks to obtain acurate statistics .. thanks in advance
Alexis Theriault May 20, 2017
Hi,
To categorize your tasks you have to create categories first. Then in the task settings you can associate them to a category. I need to improve this so you can do the association at more than a place. Let me now if you have other questions.
Thank you,
Alexis Alexis Theriault May 16, 2017
Thank you! Alexis Theriault May 17, 2017
Thank you! What do you mean by break concentration? Is it positive or negative! Update to my earlier review: The developer immediately contacted me for more information about my issue. I sent screenshots and details about how I was using the app, and Alexis was able to replicate the bug, fix it, and push an update within just a couple of days! I'm impressed by the attentiveness and friendliness. I'll get to try out the update in two days when I go back to work, but I'm now confident that if I do run into an issue again, Alexis will work with me to fix it. I had already donated before this, and I'll donate again. Original review: The app is a great idea, and I like that I can separate my time by task. However, the past two days, my statistics have shown negative time for a couple of tasks. I bill my work time to multiple clients, so this seemed to be a perfect way to maintain focus and track my billable time, but I clearly can't trust the counts. If you need to actually track the time spent on a project, do not use this app.
Alexis Theriault May 11, 2017
Thank you for your feedback. If you in the tasks list you can see the session details. This may help me understand why this is happening? Let me know if you have more information with that. First time I get contacted with this problem, does this happens every day?
Thank you,
Alexis Pretty good besides the fact that the statistics section for 'last 6 months' is glitched. Would love to have it fixed. The glitch is basically that, I have been using this app since last year April so ever since the April of this year a lot of hours are already added which I have not done actually done. For example, starting May (this year) would've had around 100 hours even when I haven't done anything.
Alexis Theriault May 13, 2017
Hi,
I found the issue and fixed it. It is now available in the store. Let me know if it worked!
Alexis Simple layout, easy to use, and runs perfectly in the background of my Samsung Galaxy S6, even with Spotify playing and other apps working the background. The constant reminder to get back to work after my break is annoying, but it's what I need to stay on task. Neat little app.
Alexis Theriault May 10, 2017
Thank you for your feedback. Note that the reminder can be turn off if you do not want it. However like you said it is annoying but for your good! Would've been even better if there was an option to add an mp3 file for background music (e.g. white noise or sound of rain) for reducing distractions. The workaround of playing the file independently is there, so this would just be icing on the cake. Nonetheless, the perfect study app for me. Thanks a lot!
Alexis Theriault April 11, 2017
Thank you for your review! Your idea is not bad and is part of my backlog. Just too busy to do all of them.
Note, I see that you have a OnePlus device, and you may have to change your phone settings to allow BrainFocus to run in background. It is in power or battery management settings.
thank you,
Alexis After ditching the original kitchen timer, I've tried, with mixed results, pretty much all the apps for Pomodoro Technique around as this time organizing method fits perfectly to my workflow; until I found Brain Focus. This app gets the job done. Kudos to the developer!
Alexis Theriault April 7, 2017
Thank you for your review! App kind of hibernate if it goes in background and loses all the recorded time for that session. I don't know whether it is because of the kernel or app itself but if the Dev can look into it, it would be very helpful.
Alexis Theriault April 21, 2017
Hi,
Thank you for your feedback. Many people have this issue on one plus devices. There is phone battery or power management settings on your phone that allow Brain Focus to run in background. Hope that helps! It was amazing and still amazing in terms of ease of use. However it stops to work suddenly and time starts from beginning which make it useless. Hope to see it as fixed.
Alexis Theriault April 9, 2017
Thank you for your review! I think that one plus device have power and battery management settings to allo application to run in background.
Let me know if it works.
Alexis Everything is perfect but i am desperately missing reminders for the tasks and second thing the statistics of tasks should be more detailed like how much time i am working on each task everyday
Alexis Theriault April 27, 2017
Thank you for your feedback. Your ideas make sense and are in my backlog Great to keep you on track . I just feel if you could have the option of countdown timer on the status bar ( on the top part of the screen ), it would be great.
Alexis Theriault April 17, 2017
Thank you for your feedback. Not sure it is possible to do that. I will add to my backlog to take a lookk at this. Very nice app 1 easy to use 2 various themes are available 3 lots of customisation But one thing is missing There should be an option to set a alert before the ending of break (1 min before) so that one can come back to work in that time
Alexis Theriault May 10, 2017
Hi,
Thank you for your feedback. I understand your idea. I will add it to my backlog but I must tell you that I am really busy at the moment and my backlog is growing every day.
Alexis I really like this app, but it just hangs at a particular time and fails to give the notification at the end of session.Like right now it in notification panel itsays that 11 minutes are left, but when I actually open it, session is no longer there.
Alexis Theriault May 21, 2017
Hi,
There is a new version available with an improvement to the issue you were seeing.
Please let me know if it works well on your phone.
Thank you
Alexis App is awesome and I use it a lot. I even use a separate device just for this app. Helps me to focus and increase my productivity. Thanks
Alexis Theriault March 30, 2017
Still not sure about the network issue that you have. Did you make sure the do not disturb setting was off?
For the button size on tablet. I think you are right. Just missing time to do it!
Thank you,
Alexis My language has changed from English to some other I can change it back help
Alexis Theriault May 4, 2017
Hi,
Not sure why it did that. You will have to go to the settings, using the menu. I think it is the third options. Try them until you recognize the settings screen. Then almost at the end there are two picker one is for the themes and the other for languages. In the language select the first option which is default or select English. Simple yet effective, thank you for your effort in creating the app :) would love it even more if we're able to set a background wallpaper, make it look nicer to get the study mood on haha
Alexis Theriault April 28, 2017
Thank you for your feedback! Just pay for my go pro features, thank you much for the awesome app..... I'm a medical student I have to seat for all day to prepare for exam and this app literally help me to concentrate guide me how I'm going with time.
