Pros and cons of Focus - Productivity Timer app for iPhone and iPad

Focus - Productivity Timer app good for

This App was exactly what I was looking for. Very clean interface with excellent Apple Watch integration. A little buggy but much better than other similar applications I have tried. I have no doubt these guys will improve things along the way. Happy to support their efforts at a reasonable price considering I will use this nearly every day..

As always, a job well done. Myself and my kids rely on this app while studying.

The alert sound works with this update. It has nice UI and works perfectly. It would be five stars if icloud sync were faster. iCloud sync takes very long time when start the app.

A great way to go when youre looking to be more productive. Focus makes is very easy because of the obvious thought and care thats gone into the app design.

Some bad moments

This app is essentially a timer, nicely designed but nothing more than a timer. Therefore it is too expensive for what it is.

I bought it only for the start stop timer widget but I must admit its a ridiculous price for such a basic app. Its just a timer and no one would use the task list in this app. The ticking sound would stop once you exit the app (almost all other timers, pomodoro timers play the ticking sound when you lock your phone). This is the most expensive of all timers app and lacking basic functions. Not to mention the problems such as unreliable notification for the completed timers. I still couldnt able to find a timer app that can start stop through today view without opening the app so 2stars from me

The only redeeming factor is the attractive UI. Buggy, overpriced, sync stalls out, inane input scheme; the developer hasnt even bothered to distinguish between singular and plural (i.e. 2 Session Completed). Stick with the stock timer app.

Money wasted. App bought for using with Watch but it "forgets" very often to notify about completed session. After some time when I check the time and wake Watch+Focus app - THEN it shows that session is completed. Too late. Thats for 5€ app? splendid... I wish I couldnt refund. And why there is no option to choose what to see at Watch glance? The remaining session time is more important than number of completed sessions. Come on.

Since the last update Focus iOS has become so sluggish and irresponsive on the iPad and iPhone that it cannot be used anymore. Furthermore, changing tasks from the Session view is an impossible... task: no one can really exclude that some gesture could succeed, but it is hard to tell which one, as no documentation is available anywhere, either within the app or on the website. A very clear example of how programming is not supposed to be done: all stylish graphical design, buggy functionality, impracticality, no help. This app is just a timer, after all, and the (amateur) programmer failed to make it work: not a big accomplishment, uh?

Make the watch independent of the phone-come on now, its just a timer.
