It’s nice when it works and the plants are cute, but nearly every other time I turn on Focus it fails me for no reason. I stay in the app and put my phone down and come back in an hour, says I failed at like 3 seconds. Annoying and makes me not want to use it or focus.
Haven’t used it enough to completely grasp all the controls but it’s enjoyable to use and actually helps me study
I’ve had this app for the past three years, I find in the beginning, yes there is a lot of time spent planting the plants but the more you use the focus timer on you’re phone in the long term with this, the less time you spend on you’re phone. Personally I found it helps me to check in and do things in the actual game in the morning of every day, sometimes the evening as well but most of the time just the morning. I always do the max 3 hours every time so to not be distracted as often. But the pomodor timers come in super handy for school assignments, to make sure to take those micro breaks in order to stay focused well. When not in school I use this in my daily life to keep myself from wasting my life on my phone. It is handy that they have the notifications, they also have it where you can toggle the sound/vibrations as well. After a year of using this I found it useful for myself to purchase the yearly subscription, as this app keeps me from downloading wasteful games and pouring tons of money into them and never getting anything done in my real life. Super happy with this app, I’d say now I only really spend a bit of time on it in the morning and before I turn my phone off for the night before reading and getting ready for bed. I end up saving my brain from never being on my phone anymore maybe an hour everyday now vs 13+ hours and never having a good sleep schedule and also saving money from not wasting it on pointless games. Eventually since I’m almost done unlocking the plants fully I can see myself not needing the annual fee anymore but I’ll definitely keep using it for the timers and to help newbies out in the group I’m in. There also in the works of adding a sleeping timer feature and I’m really looking forward to that. Thank you for making such a helpful tool app! It’s been great to improve my quality of life with this tool that’s for sure.
This game has really been helping me getting work done. I have a history of procrastination and there’s something about the mechanics of the game that makes it rewarding to get stuff done.
This is an amazing app that keeps me motivated! I love the concept off having to collect raindrops by finishing a set time to water the plants. It’s also great that it urges you to study without being able to go on your phone by giving you more raindrops. It’s also great if you have a study group or buddy cause you can have your own group sections and team where you can grow forests together! Overall, I really recommend this app!
I can finally study for exams properly now with the app. Also it’s super cute and cozy >w<
I’m a game addict and this one is perfect for me to get off games and focus
You guys have made it harder for me to collect plants without watching ads or keeping my app closed for 2-3 days. The cost of growing plants, getting them to stage is just too high. I can understand you’re using the technique to make it harder and challenging so I keep coming back and don’t feel easy but at this moment, I’m feeling like uninstalling the app as growing plants is not just worth it if I have to spend 10 minutes watching ad everyday.
The drawings are so cute! This app helped me focus so much!!
I'm interested in "gamified" focus apps because I have severe ADHD. Unfortunately, this app may be good for neurotypicals, but it's not ADHD-friendly. It's constantly buzzing my phone with notifications, demanding my attention and distracting me. It contains a ridiculous number of video ads, though you can get a paid subscription to skip them. Finally, the core concept is flawed, because I was able to plant more than 20 plants with only one short focus session. I spent way more time planting virtual plants than actually focusing. This is effectively a "reverse Pomodoro"... 20 min of focus and 40 min of game. Not ideal when you have ADHD, and get easily distracted. TL;DR: a gamified focus app that's more game than focus.
