FocusGenie: ADHD Manager

this is one of my fave apps for organization and productivity and prob my fave for ADHD! I like the categories they have and the brain teasers & info! Also the way it’s structured is nice, not too overwhelming on any given day. I like that you can go ahead but that there’s just one question and / or of each prompt like the water stuff or the brain teasers n yeah idk not explaining well too low spoons but love this app & love Dr. Sasha!

The app was stuck for me the first several times I tried to access. After canceling my subscription (too late 😒 thanks ADHD) reaching out to support and finally hearing back, I re-installed. Now I’m just not finding much use or getting much out of the app. But I’ll remain hopeful! 🤷

i love the app a lot its really helped me but the one down side is that there aren't notifications for the to do list bc i forget to check the app so its not worth paying for it when i forget to use it - i do love how the app works and everything else about it i just need to get a bunch of reminders for my to do list so that it actually gets finished

I’ve really enjoyed using the to do list especially because if a task is not completed it automatically rolls over to the next day so I do not forget tasks as often. I love that in the moment I can add to my list whereas with paper lists I would think of something in the go then forget by the time I was around my paper list. The learning modules can be nice as well. I do wish the app worked more consistently. At least a few times a month it will open but I cannot get it to respond. Update: I love how responsive and thoughtful the customer service is in regards to the one issue I’ve had. They instructed me via email to reinstall the app which so far has solved the issue

I enjoyed using the app at first but for the past month or more it freezes and I am unable to do anything. Very disappointed in what I thought would be an incredibly helpful app.

I downloaded the app and started the free trial. I was super excited because I’ve been in a bit of a slump at work and I thought it’d really help my productivity but the app isn’t working at all. I can’t click on anything or even scroll. What the heck. This was supposed to be my saving grace 😩

Came back to try again, and still experiencing app ending bugs. My main beef now revolves around the Pomo/focus timer. Resets if you are in another app for too long, then you age to reset the entire thing. Doesn’t notify or keep the timer active unless you stay in the app. Completely defeating the purpose of it being a phone app. Tried to use this for work and constantly had to reset the timer .. Why hasn’t this been fixed after almost 6 months past release ?

So far I do like the app, it’s clearly created by someone who understands ADD/ADHD! My only complaint would be the fonts are so tiny it’s hard to read sometimes. Wish I could log in from a computer instead of my Apple phone, for a bigger screen. I hope they fix this, it’s a game changer.

As someone with ADHD who is also a therapist specializing in ADHD I’m so grateful for people like Dr. Hamdani for creating tools to make mental things physical. This app has some cool stuff like daily mood and symptom tracking and the psycho-educational lessons are awesome. I also love the task timer function. I’ve had some challenges though: the task timer doesn’t make a sound when it’s time to take a break. The push notifications weren’t working. Tasks can’t be set to repeat Reword questions so they aren’t yes or no. For example “how are you different from your siblings?” instead of “are you different from your siblings?” The “mark as read” thing is very small - make it a button. When I used the timer: When I switched over to another app like messages, the study buddy image disappeared. Also once the app closed and my timer reset. Study buddy also froze regularly. Timer is inaccurate if you switch over to another app. Thanks for considering my feedback!

I sent a the developers tons of messages with no response. This app is such a waste of time and no one cares what you think or how it’s used. Absolute hypocrisy from the alleged mental health providers promoting this app.
