4/5New update is fantastic, hope for more to come!
I have been an off and on user of Focus for a long time. The latest update adds much needed UI love, and works so much better, especially on my iPad. Great work! One area I think could use some love is the Apple Shortcuts. I can only speak for myself here but being able to add new tasks using Apple shortcuts would vastly improve my workflow. For example, it would allow me to create a shortcut to import all my daily tasks from Reminders. If I had a wishlist the two shortcuts would be “Create task with title and date” and “Filter/find existing tasks” to complete the “search and sync” features using shortcuts. Additionally, a game changing feature would be the ability to automatically trigger the app to change the OS level Focus modes when starting/stopping sessions (or maybe just trigger shortcuts instead). For now I use Apple shortcuts to start DND at the same time as starting a Focus timer in the app, but I would love to be able to exit DND during breaks and automatically resume DND when my break is over. Overall this is a great update and I love seeing it! The simplicity of this app makes it one of the best, and with some of the features above I think it would stand above the rest for me and instant 5 star. I am going to resubscribe for now. I know you can’t promise anything but I wanted to be sure to share my thoughts. Keep up the great work!

5/5Best App to stay balanced with work and family!!!
Can’t say enough good things about this app! I’m studying for a promotional exam currently and this app has helped me know when to take breaks but not for too long. There are plenty of options to customize and very helpful to have it on many platforms to use on the go or while at a desk. Keep up the great work with the app! If I could give one suggestion, which is actually more of a request, I would like to see a kid mode or kid options in the app that could help them see a timer for brushing their teeth or bed time reading of some sort. I also have some kids that are close to being teenagers and as they use the app it would be cool for them to be able to customize the background timer as a cool image of choice. Anyway, something to consider and explore for the future. It was just a thought during my study break. I need to get back to the books. Great app, studying is rough but much better when you have something that just tells you when to do it! Thanks again!!

4/5Great app!
I am a too lazy of a person to write any review, but I like this app and wanted to share some information and suggestion about the app. As a law student, I have been feeling anxious, uncertain if I am putting in enough hours for my school work, and this app does a great job letting me track how long I did the work each day. I like that I can adjust a number of minutes for each session In because most of apps only provide pomodoro style 25 minutes as an option. Also, I love that I could have the app fill the whole screen so I could start it again. Before using this function, I always missed hitting the start button again that I ended up deleting similar types of apps because of imprecise hours tracked. If I may make some suggestions- it would be nice if I could label how many hours I spent on each task. Just a chunk of hours logged only gives me an idea that I did something, but looking back, j don't know on which task I spent my time. Also, a stick or pie graph that shows how many hours I focused on each different task would make this app the greatest. I have been looking for one but there's none that has those functions. Thank you for this app and please keep up the great work!

5/54.5 stars - minor improvements would make it perfect.
I gave this 5 stars but there are just a few minor improvements I would love to see that would make it a true 5/5 for me: -Ability to create custom lists. Not all tasks that I add to Focus are the same. The bulk of it is my daily productivity usage - the tasks I work on as part of my job, which I take straight from my OmniFocus planner. But I also like to use Focus for my morning routine. I’m ADHD and getting out of the house on time is more challenging than it is for most people. Focus is a great help for me in the morning, by setting timers for the basic things - shower, breakfast, planning my day, etc. - it forces me to keep on schedule. Most people take this for granted, but with ADHD, the mornings can be the hardest because the meds haven’t kicked in yet, so having a dedicated “morning routine” list, as an example, would be great. -The ability to set default session and break times unique to the above custom lists. My morning routine session timer may be 15-20 minutes. My workday timer might be 45. Would be great to be able to set different defaults for each. -Repeatable tasks. Quite a few of the tasks on my list are things I do every day. It would be nice to set them to repeat. These three features would be amazing, but their lack does not take away from the fact that this app is awesome. It does just what the name says, keeps me focused, and as importantly, makes it much more likely that I will take breaks, which I frequently neglect to do. It makes me more productive in the end, less stressed, and more balanced. Wonderful app.

3/5Watch app looks great, but is unreliable
My primary use case for this app is on my Watch. I rely on it to tap when it’s time to take a break, or when my break is done. However, it fails to consistently do this – sometimes I get the tap as expected, other times I’m working away and realizing that it’s been much more than 25 minutes, why didn’t it tell me? When I look, sometimes the complication is waiting for me to respond, other times it’s counting time *up* instead of down! Also, “Sessions Until Long Break” has been consistently off by one. I have it set to 4, but it actually takes 5 sessions before I get a long break. (Does it start counting from zero internally? I’ve just tried setting it to 3 to see what happens.) The Watch complications look fantastic, and I *really* want to love this app. But I can’t depend on it to consistently tell me when time is up, or correctly identify when my long break starts.

Thank you for this app and please keep up the great work!",

"body": "I gave this 5 stars but there are just a few minor improvements I would love to see that would make it a true 5/5 for me: -Ability to create custom lists. Not all tasks that I add to Focus are the same. The bulk of it is my daily productivity usage - the tasks I work on as part of my job, which I take straight from my OmniFocus planner. But I also like to use Focus for my morning routine. I’m ADHD and getting out of the house on time is more challenging than it is for most people. Focus is a great help for me in the morning, by setting timers for the basic things - shower, breakfast, planning my day, etc. - it forces me to keep on schedule. Most people take this for granted, but with ADHD, the mornings can be the hardest because the meds haven’t kicked in yet, so having a dedicated “morning routine” list, as an example, would be great. -The ability to set default session and break times unique to the above custom lists. My morning routine session timer may be 15-20 minutes. My workday timer might be 45. Would be great to be able to set different defaults for each. -Repeatable tasks. Quite a few of the tasks on my list are things I do every day. It would be nice to set them to repeat. These three features would be amazing, but their lack does not take away from the fact that this app is awesome. It does just what the name says, keeps me focused, and as importantly, makes it much more likely that I will take breaks, which I frequently neglect to do. It makes me more productive in the end, less stressed, and more balanced. Wonderful app.",

"title": "Watch app looks great, but is unreliable",
"body": "My primary use case for this app is on my Watch. I rely on it to tap when it’s time to take a break, or when my break is done. However, it fails to consistently do this – sometimes I get the tap as expected, other times I’m working away and realizing that it’s been much more than 25 minutes, why didn’t it tell me? When I look, sometimes the complication is waiting for me to respond, other times it’s counting time *up* instead of down! Also, “Sessions Until Long Break” has been consistently off by one. I have it set to 4, but it actually takes 5 sessions before I get a long break. (Does it start counting from zero internally? I’ve just tried setting it to 3 to see what happens.) The Watch complications look fantastic, and I *really* want to love this app. But I can’t depend on it to consistently tell me when time is up, or correctly identify when my long break starts.",
