Flow - Pomodoro & Study Timer 4+

I've been using Flow for a while and it's easily the best focus timer on the App Store. The design is beautiful, intuitive, and genuinely helps me get into a state of deep work. But the reason I'm writing this review is for the team behind the app. I recently had a technical issue with my Pro upgrade. I contacted support, and the help I received was simply outstanding. Lea was incredibly kind, understanding, and resolved my problem with a generosity that you rarely see these days. It’s clear they are a small studio that genuinely cares about their users. This is more than just an app; it's a tool built by a passionate team. Highly recommended!

Hi Waqar! Thank you so much for your thoughtful and generous words, they truly mean a lot to us. Hearing that Flow not only helps you focus but that our support left a positive impression makes our work feel incredibly rewarding.

Thanks again for your kind support and recommendation!

I got the pro version for my MacBook but when I maximize the screen to fit the ‘flow’ window completely, I’m seeing a little part of my ‘wallpaper corners’ at all the four corners. This is because - the flow app window is bevelled at the four corners and since the MacBook corners are at 90 degrees. I think the approach here can be such that when we maximize the flow app window - the app window should expand and cover the entire MacBook screen - corner to corner and edge to edge. When the app is in its default smaller size - the four corners can be bevelled as is now. Kindly consider this request so that it gives a very pleasant UI experience after the app window is maximized. I’m also sending an email with a screenshot for better visibility and understanding.

Hey Prashobh! Thanks for your review and detailed feedback! We'll look into it. We really appreciate your support.

My only complaint is that it has got glitchy from a week, though it worked flawlessly prior to that. Wish that this’ll be fixed.

Update: The functionality has dipped further for some reason. Like: the timer either stops abruptly after starting it or doesn’t run at all sometimes, the live counter on lock screen doesn’t get updated or then gets duplicated into a new one with a new timer, the sequence of a “flow” on the UI gets reversed..

Loved this app initially for how it looked and worked so elegantly, but it’s kinda starting to get annoying. Hope they restore it’s effectiveness soon. I mean ASAP!

Hi Anurag, thanks for your review! What exactly do you mean by 'glitchy'? We've been experiencing some issues with iOS 17, so please be sure to update to our latest version and install iOS 17.0.3. If that doesn't fix the problem, please contact us at support@flowapp.info.

Edit: Please contact us at support@flowapp.info, so we can take a closer look at the issues! We haven't been able to reproduce it on our end so far. Are you referring to the Live Activities only? Is your iPhone connected to the internet while using the Live Activity? The way Apple allows the app to communicate with a Live Activity when the app is in the background is via so-called "push notifications", which requires Flow to have access to the internet, so if your device isn't connected to the internet while using the Live Activity, this can lead to the described issues.
