Focus@Will: Control Your ADD

The chinchilla focus zeroes me in. This app is way better than Endel or any other focus soundscapes app. The key is you don't even really hear or notice the music if that sense. If you notice the music, then skip the track, and that won't play again

Just signed up and purchased but when I go to play the music it says “something went wrong”. Hope it gets fixed soon. I was really liking the sign up preview music.

I downloaded the app and it won’t work and it won’t open and I messaged customer support and they said there’s nothing they can do because I bought it in the Apple marketplace so I have an app that I paid about $65 for and it’s completely useless. I asked for a refund and they said they can’t refund me because it was purchased to Apple iPhone marketplace. John Ervin

You have to subscribe before you can even try it. Then they hope you'll forget to unsubscribe before charging you. No thanks. If you can't be above board to start, you don't deserve anyone's business.

I was hoping to give this a try. Started my trail and all I get is “Something went wrong” when I try to play anything

What’s going on with Focus@Will’s battery usage? It is single handedly killing my battery, when I’m not even using the app!!! 95% battery usage over 24hrs when I maybe used in for 3hrs.

I’ve been using this for years. Or at least, I did use it for years. The problem is that the “thousands of hours” of music that F@W boasts actually consists of multiple numbered remixes of the same few tracks. The whole point (or part of it, anyway) of using this type of music to focus if you have ADHD is that the music should be unfamiliar. At this point it’s been probably two years since I opened this app, but I can still “hear” a bunch of those tracks in my head. They become instantly recognizable so that you know them note for note. It has a feature that lets you tell it not to play certain tracks (specifically to avoid the “familiarity” thing), but when that track is just one of many indistinguishable iterations of the same thing, that feature is useless. It’s a shame, because while this worked for me, it *really* worked. But that was… 2018? 2019? and (although they did put out a limited amount of additional music a couple of years back) they’re still using basically the exact same tracks. Not to mention that the app hasn’t seen an update in a year. So - F@W is great for a short period or for *extremely* infrequent use, but that lifetime subscription didn’t pan out quite how I hoped it would.

The content in the app is great. Good sounds that do keep me focused, but the app is very glitchy, and ends up being more distracting than it should be. I was all-in at first, but after an evening wishing the app was better or at least functioned well I’ll be moving on to a different solution.

I’m a person easily distracted with tons of windows open at the same time and I literally get everything done off my todo list every single time I use this app. Otherwise I start turning on the tv, checking emails, on TikTok, and then I’m 3 days behind. Highly recommend! Worth the subscription a 100x over. I don’t have to strain to focus. This app just plays in the background and I get stuff done. I listen on my desktop, have it for 20 minute intervals and can go a solid 2 hours without taking a break of just solid working. Totally works! Im obsessed with the deep channel!

The app, in short is a set of premixed songs (optimized for concentration as they say), where you can play it for a specific span of time. So far this is great. The issue is that there has been no development or updates to this. It’s the same set of 4-5 songs that have been repeating for me for the last 2 years I have used this app. It’s a bit ridiculous to charge annually for software to which there is no work being done. I will not be renewing this.
