Love this app- does exactly what I need it to do, which is help me focus for short bursts. Every time I use it, I am amazed that I actually CAN focus and get work done! Love the ticking sound you can turn on as that especially helps get me in the right headspace for working.Only downfall for me is making sure I actually turn the timer on, but that’s a much smaller step for me to take than trying to force myself to focus without the app. Highly recommend if you’re a big procrastinator!
Extremely useful for long-term productivity

I've found this app to be extremely useful for helping me (as the name suggests) 'Be Focused' on whatever I'm working on. I really like the way you can adjust the 'working' and 'rest' periods to suit whatever task you're performing and how it then tracks the number of cycles you've done. A great tool, especially for those who wish to be productive with the time they spend on a task.
Fabulous tool

I use it all the time to control my screen time while drafting patterns on the computer. If I take a few minutes break every 25 mins my eyes don’t get strained. If I don’t use the timer I will sit for hours without a break. I love how easy it is to set the time blocks and it is so easy to use. I don’t need to track my blocks so the free version is great for me.
Deleting this app
Ozfoz
The free version of this app used to be useful. Now, the advertising has become intrusive and irritatiing. Banner advertising is one thing, but to have an ad take over your screen and stop you from activating a timer when time is of the essence is unforgiveable. This behaviour has not encouraged me to purchase, it has alienated me and I will be deleting the app and just using my phones timer. You didn't invent the technique, you stole the idea from the inventor, so why you are charging for this app is beyond me.Additionally, presenting a pre-written review when opening the review tab is pathetic.Good riddance.
