It was the easiest app to use among others I compared with. I would also like to request a function where the user can decide to add the time logged into Goals or not because right now it puts all the time logged into Goals, for example time tagged as "exercise" or "social". Another idea I have is to be able to change the logged time manually. I sometimes forget to turn the timer off. Otherwise simple enough for everyday use!
The app is really good. But a 4 star rating because according to me it lacks the feature to pause the timer between the session. It can only be stopped and then goes back to the beginning. Do consider the feature to pause and play the timer in between!
One of the very best of its kind. Simple, customizable, has tags and projects taht can be assigned to sessions and a history log, google cloud backup. The downside is that it hasn't seen updates for one year, but it's still working just fine on Android 9.
It's a simple Pomodoro app that also allows me to view where I focused my time because of the Project, Tag, and Log features. However, I have a few suggestions and requests. Other Pomodoro apps show a visual timer together with the number timer which helps the user tell how much relative time is left on the clock. I hope you can add that to Focus Timer Reborn. I also wish that I can sort the Projects and Tags (example: alphabetically). Lastly, I hope I can export Log timeline as an image or other. Thank you for making this app available.
Useful app with lots of features similar ones lack, but very buggy in its current state. Specifically, it takes about 17 seconds to register me hitting stop/go on the timer, and this delay has been getting worse over the months I've used the app...
Two cons: 1. sometimes it doesn't notify when a session has ended and gives the message abandoned session found the next time you open it. 2. It doesn't have a pause button, which is important. Otherwise, a perfect app.
Using focus time reborn was one of the best decisions l ever made because it really increases your productivity and the calender method to see your records is awesome. Plus the goal graph is also very beneficial. One of the best app for time management. Kudos to the developer and their team for their hardwork👍👍👍👏👏👏👏😊😊
The web syncing is great. Still has some bugs on the website though. If you don't click reset before starting your break, it will start a 5 minute work session. You need to click reset after EVERY session.
This is the BEST free service providing app!! This app comes with the most convenient way of use with sufficient adjustability in all features💕. Focus timer reborn has improved both my productivity and time management. I'd DEFINITELY recommend this app to anyone looking for self development!!!😁👏 P. S: I ain't happy with the present update of excluding the hour calculation tho🙄
Please provide a pause button ,when I try to pause the time and play then the time is restarting.My progress before pausing the time isn't showing in the graph. So please please provide a pause button .
What I love most is that it doesn't accumulate the performance time if I fail to finish the "Focus" time, which forces me to "Focus" indeed. I used other similar apps, but in terms of concentration, this is the best.
One of the best pomodoro apps. I love the history capability. However it needs some functionality to handle interruptions which right now it can't do.
Absolutely great. However, can we have better statistics as to exactly how much of my day was spent productively, with the ability to set my minimum productive time per day/week, and have categories so that I can have targets for each category: like a minimum of 6 hours productively focused time per day, put in the GENERAL WORK category, and a minimum of 40 minutes of ACADEMIC STUDY per day, added to the ACADEMIC STUDY category. The app can give a particular color against the days/weeks when you hit your goals, and another (failure) color against the days/weeks when you didn't. This would be a hugely motivating factor to going out and crush your goals every time, and would cause your app to be not just one where people calculate their time spent on jobs, but a life-changing one which really motivates people to go after their dreams, and win, everyday. Thanks, John
Great app! Helps me to stay focused and to use the best of those 20 minutes. It's much easier to learn productively because my concentration doesn't last long.
Sync to web seals the deal: you can start a pomodoro on your phone and if you pull up the web page you can keep it going on a tab in your computer. One star deducted because the web page could be a little prettier.
I haven't found a better Pomodoro app. it provides tags, a log of time spent, goals, and online time, and the usual UI settings. If you want to block apps, get a dedicated app for that and use this.
Easy to use. Not complex. Some apps has so many function. It takes my time to study these function.
This is my favorite focus app but its so slow to respond. Over 15sec to load the tags, and 15sec to load the timer, etc... I really want to give it a 5 star but it is really not working properly.
Very Good features. Please add ticking sound option also. And if we could pause the timer then it would be better.
The app is good. It keeps your record which is helpful in analysing.A request to the developer to make the break streak automatically start after a work streak is completeted.
I like the stats, the logs, but I don't like the fact I need to make too many clicks for moving from working to resting and vice versa.
Best App ever to be focused and keep working. Amazing, loving it! Pomodoro's technique is very well applied here, congrats!
Very simple but one of the most important app. It helps in proper utilization of time.After using this app I realized that same work can be done in less time & much more efficiently.
I have been using this app for months now. The app interface is very intuitive. But there are a lot of issues. After using it for previous 6 weeks, the number of logs in project has increased a lot .probably this has made this app very very slow .. It take upto 10 to 15 second in responding to pressing buttons..
