I’ve tried many focus apps over the years and this is the only one that I keep coming back to. Would love to have landscape mode soon!
Developer Response

Disappointed after high hopes

I love the idea of this app, but I can’t make my To Do tasks appear on their scheduled day in sequence according to the time I scheduled them for. Instead they are listed in a random sequence on the designated day. There’s no way to rearrange them so they are in order, either. Also, I don’t see a way to set recurring tasks. Basically, the only way I can see using this app is as a Pomodoro timer where I can name each Pomodoro by task. Not very helpful.Am I missing a layer of functionality somehow?
Developer Response
Hi Wendy,We are really sorry for replying late here. We had reverted to your email, really sorry about the lack of option to see tasks by their due date, we'll try to add it as soon as possible. And, we do have plans for recurring tasks too in the coming updates. We'll be rolling out an update in a few days with some new features to make the app a better productivity tool. Sorry for all the inconvenience.
Tremendous app, tremendous support
