What’s New

Version 2.1.6

In this latest Focus Lock update, we’ve added a much-anticipated whitelist feature. Instead of selecting which apps to block, you can now block ALL apps and whitelist only the apps you want to have access to. This makes it easier to quickly select the apps you want to use during a Focus Lock session.

There’s a lot more to be improved.

I really find this very helpful to keep me off from my gadget and focus on my studies. But there are more problems with the app which I hope the developer will fix:

1. The timer set as to how long will it lock my other apps is useless. Each time I set the lock for say, 1 or 4 or 8 hours, the apps would never reappear after the set time period.

So I have to “remove management” the installed “device management” in my Settings just to retrieve all my apps back since the timer is useless. So each time I’ll use this app to lock the others, I have to tediously go through the whole process of installing and uninstalling the app over and over again.

2. I hope it gives the users the free will to choose which apps to lock. In my case, Goodnotes is vital to my studies. And the reason I purchased this app is to focus on Goodnotes alone which I use for studying. I didn’t know this will lock all the apps. So again, it’s useless for my intended purpose.

3. I hope it will just be consolidated with the other Flipd app to better cater the needs of the users. This app is too expensive for what it can give. Its price would have been worthy for the two apps combined.

Needs More Flexibility

I really like the intention of this app as well as the original Flipd - Keep Focused app but I hope Focus Lock would allow the user the option to choose which apps to be locked. Also, I hope that it is accessible within the original Flipd - Keep Focused app so that one: I wouldn’t have to switch apps anymore and two: I would be able to simultaneously use the features of both apps i.e. the music feature and the lock feature. Another thing, if incorporating Focus Lock into the Flipd - Keep Focused app wouldn’t be possible, I hope that the music feature would be incorporated into the Focus Lock app instead or that other music apps will be incorporated into the app / will not be locked while the other apps are locked :))

My apps haven’t gone back yet😭😭😭😭 i only set it to 3 hours and now its not yet coming back what do i do 😭 it has been 7 hourss please i really dont know what to do This app has a good mission but i think it need so much improvement.. i don’t know why this happened to me but i set the timer to approximately 3hrs however the app restrictions exceeded 2 hours... and considering how it is a lil bit expensive, it is definetly a dissapointment to those who would be paying for this app to encounter malfunctions like that.. and the features are limited - no timers, count down, music or watever :(( hope you guys develop this because i am sure this app would be noticed by plenty when imrpoved !
