Be Focused – Focus Timer for Positive User Reviews
✓ Best thing everI love my life.Version: 2.3.1
✓ Keeps me on yrackHelps me plan my study time as i have various study headings set up in my app. Also trying to make a target each day helps me with motivation..Version: 2.3
✓ Very goodGood application for study and is good for all student to be focus and happy during study.Version: 2.2
✓ Fabulous toolI use it all the time to control my screen time while drafting patterns on the computer. If I take a few minutes break every 25 mins my eyes don’t get strained. If I don’t use the timer I will sit for hours without a break. I love how easy it is to set the time blocks and it is so easy to use. I don’t need to track my blocks so the free version is great for me..Version: 1.7.5
✓ It actually helps!I didn’t realize how much time I was wasted looking at my phone. With this tool, it allows me to quantify my discipline. I focus when needed then goof around when allowed. I must say, I’m more productive. I also think it’s worth the 5 bucks to support the developers. I like this app and hope they continue to maintain it on both iPhone and Mac..Version: 2.3.1
✓ Really great appThis is a really great app as it allows you to change how long you want each pomodoro to be and to create folders so you know exactly how long you've spent working for each topic!.Version: 1.7.5
✓ A life-saver!I've been using this App for a few weeks now and can already see the positive impact it has had on my work. Simple and easy to use..Version: 2.1.1
✓ It’s good but it has some issuesI have enjoyed using the app but they really push the paid version, like a lot..Version: 2.0.2
✓ Great app for studentsI’ve been using this app for many years to help track my studying. However, the only this I wish was also included is split screen mode on the iPad. Not having this really does restrict the usability of the iPad with this app..Version: 2.3.1
✓ App works well, only minor issues so farSo far I love the app. Probably one of the better (free) Pomodoro style timers available. There are a few things keeping it from being perfect. For starters, it seems to reset back to 25 minutes every so often which interrupts my workflow. It doesn't tell you when this happens so often I'll check my timer and I'll realize it's at 25 minutes when I should be starting a break soon. This is mildly annoying as it only happens every once in a while and brings it down about half a star in terms of rating. The other issue is that the task list is somewhat unintuitive with the swipe style controls. It'd be great if these options, such as done and delete, were simple buttons outside of the swipe control. Again, this is a minor issue and really only worth half a star in my mind. Keep up the good work!.Version: 1.6.2
✓ SofiiDrawsNice app!.Version: 2.2.1
✓ UsefulIt is a great way to keep up focused..Version: 1.7.5
✓ Simple but effectiveVery easy to use tool to set active work/rest periods throughout the day. I find it helps my productivity and focus enormously!.Version: 2.1.1
✓ Super helpful if you're willing to commit to itIt takes some discipline to get started using this app properly, but it's incredible to see how time slips away when you're being interrupted by the many distractions of our digital world. This is a great tool for taking that major step of awareness and working out how to optimise your productivity..Version: 1.6.2
✓ Great appIt really does keep me focused and stops you from constantly having to look at the clock it’s also good having a visual on how much you have done in how much time. I’ve used it all through my GCSE’s and just for homework in general 👍.Version: 1.7.5
✓ Good effective app for the pomodoro techniqueI have used several similar apps and what I like about this one is that I am able to track my performance and efforts over a day or weekly period. Great feature. Definitely worth a look.Version: 2.3
✓ Helps Keep Me MotivatedIt helps keep me motivated to stay on task and also reinforces the importance of taking small breaks at specified times. It has been a very helpful tool in increasing my productivity! Although I wish I could delay the break if I’m on a roll and come back to it when I’m ready rather than just dismissing the break and missing it all together..Version: 2.1.1
✓ Does its jobIt’s amazing that the use of a simple timer can keep me focused. On the days when I use this app, I get more done than I thought possible. When I tell myself that I don’t need the app - well, my productivity falls apart. I gave it four stars because I can’t figure out how to delete tasks from the task list when they are done. I also wish there was a feature where the user could estimate the number of “pomadoros” that a task would take and then compare that to the actual number. It would be helpful in calibrating and estimating time for future tasks..Version: 1.7.1
✓ Simple and effectiveDoes the job, completely free, simple and based on the famous pomodoro technique used by life coaches around the world. Helps you focus and eliminate distractions such as checking your Whatsapp or social media. Allows you to count how much you have actually fully focused on completing your task. It allows you to create a number of tasks/goals/subsections to jump between and keep track of, which is very used..Version: 2.0.2
✓ FantasticUsing this or not using this is the difference between my productive and unproductive days. Of all systems I ever tried- this helps most..Version: 2.2.1
✓ Solid appAll around solid application but it does need a dark mode. If it has one it needs to be more accessible. Other than that one critique I really do love the app..Version: 2.3
✓ Excellent AppEasy and uncomplicated to use.Version: 2.2
✓ Physio studentGreat for helping me study. Very simple and easy to use.Version: 2.3
✓ Stay on trackKeep your productivity on track with this app.Version: 1.7.6
✓ Great tool to manage my timeGreat tool to manage my daily work and life..Version: 2.3
✓ This app saved me!When writing my thesis, this app was amazing to keep myself on track and also make sure I took breaks while writing. It’s easy to use and so helpful..Version: 2.3
✓ Really helpful appI love it: keeps me focused for the whole day. The task sections are really well done-the only improvement would make make it so that it is possible to change what task a particular completed segment belonged to. (E.g. sometimes I leave it running on auto for four hours and forget to update which task I’m doing during that hour, and it says all four hours were ‘Task A’, it would be good if I could change some to ‘Task B‘ post the session ending).Version: 1.7.6
✓ Good EnoughI like this app for staying focused. However, while it works well on my desktop, the alarm to signal the end of a work/break interval does not sound on my iPad if I am using another program (despite the timer still running), which defeats the purpose a little..Version: 2.1.1
✓ Very helpfulIt is very nice and helpful application.Version: 2.3.1
✓ Literally makes my dayIt’s completely changed my work life and wellbeing at work.Version: 2.1.1
✓ ExcellentI feel I have been more productive! So thank you :).Version: 2.1.1
✓ GreatGreat.Version: 2.2
✓ HelpfulSuper helpful app when studying & keeping free from distraction..Version: 2.3.1
✓ Very usefulHelps me stay focussed.Version: 2.3.1
✓ Helps me stay focused so much!I love this app. When I learned about the Pomodoro Technique in my behavioural psychology course I downloaded the app and have been using it for years since. It helped me study when I was a student. It helps me get a ton of cleaning done, it helps so much to keep me on task!.Version: 2.1.1
✓ Helps me so muchI find it difficult to concentrate sometimes but the pomodoro technique used here helps me stick at it. I like the fact I can adapt times and have goals for the day. It really helps me plough through work..Version: 1.7.5
✓ Love this techniqueIt really does something to your approach to studying when you know you only have to work really really hard for short intervals and taking a short break. It makes you want to be more productive in that short time and it makes you appreciate the value of a break without allowing you to become distracted and break too long. I love having the ticker on..Version: 1.7.6
✓ On pointKeeps me on-point and in-focus. The clicking sound puts me into a zone of concentration regardless of whatever I’m doing. Love it to bits and coupled with the forest app, my two most used apps for staying on task. 👏🏾.Version: 1.7.6
✓ Productive!!I’ve had it for two days and I already see my productivity improving. It’s nice to track my progress and have a to do list. Naturally you can write it down on paper but having it on my phone and being able to check home much time I spend on each assignment is very convenient. And the app is free! :).Version: 2.0.2
✓ Sharpening my toolsGreat app. Makes up time and saves more time for the things you love love to be doing 😊.Version: 1.7.5
✓ Fantastic app for revisionTried some other pomodoro apps first but unlike those ones this one doesn’t hide changing features behind a pay wall. Going to buy premium, even though the free version is fully functional, just to support the developer.Version: 1.7.1
✓ Addictive and extremely satisfying creationI have been using this app for over a year and I can’t put into words the amount of satisfaction it brings me. Everything is just the way I would want and imagine to make if I were to design the app; simple and rather minimalistic (compared to most other apps) but contains all of the features I would need to be completely happy (the last of which was added very recently — deadline button). No clutter and very user friendly. It was very addictive to me; so be careful. I bought the paid version too to be able to synchronize my data and have it in all of my devices. However, the only sad part about this is that (at the moment) I don’t think I will be able to transfer the data I have been collecting for over a year from my unpaid version to my paid version to be able to keep and display it as well. So for now I keep using the unpaid version until I either find a different way of transferring it, or the developer adds a feature like that, or I get enough courage to say “goodbye” to my lovely and diligently collected large data set. Despite remaining an unpaid version used while having the paid version, I have no regrets at all for my purchase and I hope the developer gets many more people discovering his apps and becoming as happy as I am with it/them. THANK YOU!.Version: 2.0.1
✓ Does what it is supposed to…Not much more, nothing less. The advertisements in the free version are not really obtrusive, which in my opinion is great. You just have to understand that this application on its own is not intended to help form habits. This is only a tool. Once you get that, it is pretty handy. One thing I didn’t like is that you need to keep your phone unlocked to get a sound notification when your timer ends. I understand that there are cases when this is preferable, but it would have been useful to have the option to override this behavior. There does not seem to be any option for this in the app itself, and all notifications and background app refresh in my phone’s settings are turned on for this particular app..Version: 2.1.1
✓ Good productSimple and uncomplicated. No paid feature requirement. Just focus!.Version: 2.1.1
✓ Been good so farI really like the stats option and how it beeps at you when the timer is done. I wish I could see how much time I have left on my lock screen without having to unlock my phone and go into the app..Version: 1.7.5
✓ Simple to use and actually motivatesVery simple to add to-do items and hitting the timer button. The fact that it records daily activity motivates you to study to increase your activity. It works well for the Promodoro method I'm using..Version: 1.6.2
✓ Simple yet effectiveThis app really does help you stay focused! I was skeptical as I multi task often but just wind up exhausted at the end of the day with no sense of accomplishment and now…… after 25 mins I feel I’ve accomplished something and that thing was important to me. ADD, ADHA or Menopausal this app really will help your brain ..Version: 2.3.1
✓ This app needs more recognitionSo at first the app seemed quite complicated but I got the hang of it. I don’t usually do reviews but this app is really good. The only reason I gave it 4* is because I wish you could change the time intervals depending on the task you are doing. I hope they have a future update like that as I use this app for gym and studying and it’s really annoying changing time intervals every time..Version: 1.7.5
✓ Decent free versionDecent free version that provides some statistics around personal use over time..Version: 1.6.2
✓ LOVE THIS TECHNIQUEReally helps stay on track.Version: 2.0.2
✓ BeFocusedGreat app- simple to use for any purpose..Version: 2.1.1
✓ Great focus timer app among similar free appsI have used this app for about a week or so, it is simple but also practical, so till now I have chosen to use app among several others that I have installed.I like the way you can customize sessions and breaks, sounds, tasks. The one annoying feature for me is lake of dark mode theme on the app, the widget has dark mode but unfortunately the app theme doesn’t change to a dark mode. Look forward for an update and thanks for your efforts to keep it free. Also as a suggestion it would be great if the app has a Lock Screen widget while using it, I mean having some sort of widget as the one in the homepage but on the Lock Screen to show you how much time is left without unlocking the phone. Kind Regards 🙏🏼.Version: 2.2.1
✓ My ReviewVery simple to use and achieves its desired outcome as my quality of study has been increased substantially..Version: 2.1.1
✓ Simple and effectiveNot all apps need a million buttons and whistles and this app proves that true. It’s simple, clean, and easy to use. If you’re like me and tend to get up every 5 minutes because whatever, this is a great app to help keep you on track! You can change the work and break times to fit your schedule which I really enjoy. I like to work for 35 minutes and break for 10 instead of the default 25 min work/5 min break. I like that you can also add a label to your “work” so you can keep track of your time spent on multiple projects..Version: 2.1.1
✓ Incredibly HelpfulThis app has helped me fight mental fatigue through 12 hour study days and I could not be more thankful! My productivity has skyrocketed! One suggestion: While the tracker for number of work intervals completed resets daily, the short break vs. long break setting does not. (Ex: After my second work session this morning, I was told to take a long break.) If you could make the “long break after” setting reset with each day as well, it would be greatly appreciated!.Version: 1.7.5
✓ Be focused is very goodI love using this app; however, the alarm doesn’t always sound once the time has run out also I don’t know how to adjust the time from 30 minutes to an hour. Some tasks can’t be accomplished in 30 minutes and the timer will just let me set it for 25 minutes then 5 minute break. I’d like to be able to adjust the time for break time too..Version: 2.2
✓ It does what it says it does, and does it well.It does what it says it does, and does it well..Version: 2.1.1
✓ Keeps me on trackI’m juggling a lot and am easily distracted. Let’s just say it is a huge recipe for disaster. Breaking off my time into project-based work/tasks, plus the timer set for each, makes it much more productive and I manage (somehow) to stay on track. Love it!.Version: 2.3.1
✓ Best free iOS app I’ve found for Pomodoro timingThis has made incorporating the pomodoro technique into my workdays painless, recommended.Version: 2.1.1
✓ Good looking and handy little appSome stuff because apparently I need to write a description too..Version: 1.5
✓ Very nice appSuper convenient.Version: 1.6.2
✓ Absolutely amazingThat is the thing that I looked for for years.Version: 1.7.6
✓ One of my fav apps & most usedLove the simplicity of it. The ability to set multiple tasks that are saved and then go into the 25 min timer is awesome. I wish like my phone alarm I could choose to still have the completion of time make a noise/vibrate when done even when my phone is clicked to vibrate mode on the side. Also wish I could change the ticking sound to other sound options that are not as loud without changing my entire phone volume at times but hey this app is awesome and one of my favs to use, thank you for making it!!.Version: 1.6.2
✓ Très utile👍🏼 l’app fait ce qu’elle dit faire. :).Version: 2.1.1
✓ Great Study HackI tend to struggle with focusing and end up distracting myself, but my friend introduced me to this app and it's helped me. Generally 99% of the time, seeing how many tomatoes I can get is a good boost to me feeling productive, thus helping me continue to study. The one thing is it takes a while to get a "long break" which is set back. But, still am somewhat new to the app and maybe in the settings you can change the breaks..Version: 1.6.2
✓ Keeping Me Focused!Fantastic app to stop my mind wandering when needing to complete tasks. Upgrading to the Pro is worth it for the syncing across both Mac OS & iOS devices & for also being able to create lists for different activities such ‘project’ etc. One improvement I would love to see is a count down widget for both iOS & iPadOS..Version: 2.1.1
✓ Great app for studying!Really helped me improve my productivity! Easy to use, super helpful with pacing and any level of study. Great theory packed into a convenient app! Download it - you'll use it all the time!.Version: 1.6.2
✓ Great interfaceEasy to use and customise. I love checking my productivity chart at the end of the day..Version: 2.1.1
✓ I was sceptical that this would help!But it did!! I’ve got so much study done just knowing I can break my day up with this!.Version: 1.7.5
✓ Super usefulVery good reminder for me to pace my work.Version: 2.2.1
✓ Useful and simpleAfter downloading a few pomodoro apps, I liked this one the best due to it's simplicity, and that it has the features I wanted. It includes an alarm, easy to categorize your "focus" times, and make any adjustments if needed. A lot of other apps were very complex. I wanted something I could learn in the matter of seconds. If your main focus is to spend more deliberate times, why spend too much time learning an app? I am able to categorize my work, study, and free time. I'd recommend to the developers to create a feature where you can enter your own manual time, more of a time management tool. That would make a good addition, making the app a more robust. Even for $1.99, I'd buy it. Especially since I would want to enter my time I'm wasting. I could compare how much I'm spending on productive time vs wasteful times..Version: 1.6.2
✓ Effective study toolThis app allows for effective timed study and works well for revision. I couldn’t recommend it more..Version: 1.7.6
✓ Best I’ve triedI’ve tried a few different focus apps similar to this one but this seems to be the best out of the free versions. I really like the customisation.Version: 1.7.5
✓ Easy to useI used another timer before switching to BeFocused which worked for a while and then started having idiosyncrasies. It would stop if I was playing a podcast or answered the phone and then not it wouldn’t start up automatically. It didn’t let me know that it stopped timing. Not only does BeFocused keep time unless I stop it, it asks that I start each timer. I like this because if I’m in the middle of something, the “break” timer doesn’t start until I tell activate it. The free version allows the user to set up their own timer schedule. Also I can run the timer for various different tasks. I did this at first. Now I just run the timer regardless if I’m working on administrative stuff or specific projects. I don’t need to keep that close an eye on my time but can if I want..Version: 2.1.1
✓ It’s easy to use!I like it, although I wished it had more colourful options and graphs..Version: 2.2.1
✓ Nice app to keep you focused.I’ve been using it for a few days, and it is really good. One potential improvement would be to be able to modify the name of the task from the edit menu. Realizing that I had to double click the task to rename it took me a while. Otherwise it’s really good, I’m enjoying it and I will be buying it - right now I think.Version: 1.7.6
✓ Most useful timerGreat Pomodoro app with clear interface that allows you to label your different activities and customise your intervals and breaks. High recommended..Version: 1.7.5
✓ Fantastic! This was needed.As a busy person running two businesses. It’s difficult to find the time to study. No longer the case. This app fits seamlessly into my busy schedule. I now find making 25 minute slots for study easier than an unmanaged period of time. I urge anyone looking to invest in themselves with study or learning new skills to try this app. You will find it both encouraging and of a great help. Bravo to the makers!.Version: 1.7.6
✓ It’s got me back on trackThis help has helped me focus on reading during grad school after an 8 year break and challenges me to not look at social media or messages until my allotted breaks. I feel accomplished and I am much more productive since using it.Version: 1.7.5
✓ For self-interruptersI find it hard to focus and am constantly jumping from one task to another. This simple timer helps me stick to one thing for a pre-determined time. I make a list of all those other things that pop into my head and tend to them later. When I use it for work, I know how many 25 min intervals make a good workday and then I can use that as a goal to have high focus days. It also reinforces brief and longer breaks. I have used it for years and gladly gave my $0.99 for this useful app..Version: 2.0.1
✓ Really great app!!I have a really hard time staying focused but this app really helps as it gives me a visual. That and honestly it just helps me plan my time better..Version: 2.1.1
✓ Strongly recommend, of all Pomodoro appsI tried about 6 different Pomodoro apps, even paying for a few, and this is by far the best for me! SO user friendly, allows you to do a lot of the stuff you have to pay for with other apps (e.g. create different projects and then the ap keeps track of how many 25 min segments you have spent on each project, charts showing you how you’re using your time). This is a really great app and I may upgrade to pro just to support you all even though the free version is so good. Thanks!.Version: 1.7.5
✓ Great concept, but needs some minor changesI’m an engineer, so I like to collect data about myself, whether its my health data or even what I did that day with Life Cycle. Data is knowledge, and knowledge is power, so I’d like for this app to communicate with my Life Cycle app somehow so that I may look back on how long I worked on a project or studied. I think one way to do this would be either through the Health App or the Workouts App’s communication to Life Cycle. Studying is technically a mental workout, so I’d like to see that data shared with Workouts with the workout name being the subject of that task in BeFocused..Version: 1.7.1
✓ I like itSimple and efficient and doesn’t take a lot of storage. It might not be the best, but it suits my needs..Version: 2.3.1
✓ Work flowIt’s been the thing I’ve needed to break my day into manageable chunks. The 25 minutes speed by with a reward. I’ve never been rewarded for working before. I’ve accomplished more in 1 week with this app than almost 1 month before. I like the “pause” option. It keeps me time accountable while allowing me to take important calls..Version: 2.3
✓ PerfectGood tool and convient to use to track on how much time we spend for study or work. Strong recommendation ✌🏻.Version: 2.3
✓ BeFocusedI do things in order, so this app is very good for me. And I like the trumpet sound in the settings. That’s why I got this app and thank you 💎🌈.Version: 2.0.2
✓ Good introduction to the Pomodoro techniqueI like this app for the way it has introduced me to this technique and for helping me realize how important it is to take breaks. I also like that both the on-task time and the break time can be varied. I’ve tried a few different intervals to see which blanks work best for me. I guess the only thing I don’t like is that it seems as though the longer I use the free version the more frequently the “buy premium version” ad pops up and interrupts my use of the app. That’s the main reason for four stars instead of five. I can handle of the banner ads but I don’t like it when I am interrupted while trying to use this tool..Version: 1.7.5
✓ Fantastic!Great app. Consistently get more done with this app..Version: 2.3.1
✓ So helpfulI’ve used this app for years. It is hugely helpful! Helpful for motivating me to do things I don’t want to (only 25 minutes of it!) And helpful for things I don’t want to stop (how long have you been doing that!) I especially share this with students around time management to give them an internal sense of time (reading for 25 minutes a day with a 5 minute celebration is good for everyone). That’s a lot from one small app..Version: 2.0.2
✓ Really usefulGreat app. Would be helpful to have a countdown, but still does the job!.Version: 1.7.5
✓ Great app for studyingGreat app. But the notification for a break doesn’t always work while the phone is locked. So I have to keep checking the phone for time or the app for the breaks. Other than it’s really great and really helped me stay focused..Version: 1.7.5
✓ Super helpful for schoolworkI love this app, I’ve been using it a couple of months and it really helps me get instant gratification for working towards long-term goals. It’s really nice to look back at the end of the day and see how much time I actually managed to take advantage of. I appreciate that it has a streamlined interface and but that I can still sort my focus periods into groups. Also, I know some people mentioned they didn’t like that it couldn’t freeze your phone during focus sessions but for me that’s a benefit - sometimes I need it for hw..Version: 2.0.2
✓ Love itThis app is great. Helps you track how much work you're doing, allows you to categorise into different tasks, set targets AND you can see it all by month or week on a graph! It really helps me get work done. Thoroughly recommend. Only minor tweak would be there were more exciting notification when you reach your target like fireworks or something. But that it as v minor thing otherwise it's great!.Version: 1.6.2
✓ Best Pomodoro App perfect for VirgosI’ve used many pomodoro apps and I thought they were all the same until i used this one. The ability to label tasks and create graphs based on type or subject is everything. I’m def gonna splurge in the future to be able to download the .csv in order to do in depth data analysis in my work schedule. This app has precision and clarity that most other apps don’t!.Version: 1.7.1
✓ Amazing appKeeps me very focused. No ads so that’s a plus point. I can set my own times for study and breaks! Very well done app..Version: 2.2.1
✓ Extremely UsefulI use BeFocused not just to help me focus, but also to keep track of how I am using my time. It is especially useful in the latter respect..Version: 2.3.1
✓ Helpful to concentrateAny other timer would do the same but it’s a good timer..Version: 2.1.1
✓ Really usefulI am so easily distracted, BeFocused has allowed me to do just that, to work more effectively and get more done, you can set it up to suit you and your breaks, great app!.Version: 1.7.6
✓ Work from home life saverThis has been super simple but the best tool for me to stay focused and set goals and benchmarks through my day. Love it. Use it every day. My only issue is the timer doesn't always sound at the end of the interval so I have to look at my phone to reset which is what I'm trying to avoid. I keep my phone on not disturb and silent while I'm working. Guess you can't have it both ways..Version: 1.6.2
✓ Expectations metThe interface is actually really simple and easy to use. Straight to the point and really helps with procrastinating Thank you👌🏼👌🏼.Version: 2.2
✓ I like itI really like this app! It’s useful, and is easy to use. I had an issue with something, so I emailed customer service. They responded right away, and were really nice about it. The only thing that I don’t like is the fact that you have to pay for some features, but I suppose that the company needs some way to get money, right? Anyways, this is a good app, I definitely would recommend!.Version: 1.7.6
✓ Less burnoutReally helpful for breaking up work so you get get burned out quickly. 🙂 It’s all about the long game.Version: 1.7.6
✓ Simple and satisfyingHas improved my workflow. Their library of alarm options keeps me smiling and makes me look forward to continuing work on the Pomodoro so that I get to hear the jingle..Version: 2.0.2
✓ Great App!Very good to help u keep track of time and make sure your spending a reasonable amount on each task. Also very good to remind you to take breaks..Version: 2.1.1
✓ Simply effectiveWhen my boyfriend suggested I install this app to get my many tasks completed for building my business, I went along with it. Now I'm addicted because my brain loves to be told to focus for short periods of time. It keeps me on task in such a simple yet effective way. If I didn't have the timer set to one specific task, I would spend hours or all day on one item. That so easily leads to me being overwhelmed and burning out. So, thanks for the simple app and thanks, CB, for the suggestion <3.Version: 1.6.2
✓ UsefulIt’s good it’s purpose is put to good use with me although I should take a break.Version: 1.7.5
✓ Good but lock screen time issueI am finding this app helpful in structuring my time and helping me concentrate, but there is an issue with the lock screen timer when you have auto-start timer on - the timer for one session goes off and it shows as 00:00 on the lock screen, but then the next timer starts without showing on the lock screen. most of the time opening the app up fixes this but it’s still frustrating when you’re in the zone to need to be opening it to get the lock screen timer in sync. another suggestion - having different settings for auto-start breaks and auto-start work sessions would be useful!.Version: 2.3.1
✓ Great except for syncing issuesI bought this because I wanted a Pomodoro timer that could sync in real time between my Mac and iPhone. That way I could work on my Mac and use the Mac version, but if I walk away from my laptop during a break I can monitor how much break time I have left on my phone or Apple Watch. Unfortunately the syncing is rather buggy and unreliable - if I start the timer on my PC, I currently have to launch the iPhone app to get it to sync the timer state to the Home Screen widgets, dynamic island and Apple Watch. If I launch the Apple Watch it does not sync at all. It would be much better if it could sync seamlessly in the background. Currently it is very frustrating. I also wish we could add a note to each completed Pomodoro interval so we have a nice log of what we worked on. I’d also like to be able to tap to add 10mins to a Pomodoro in case I want to keep working. I’d like it to default to 25mins but to have an easy way to extend unit up to 55mins without a break. It would make it more adaptable to how we work..Version: 2.3
✓ Facile à personnaliserJ’aime pouvoir crée mes propres catégories et avoir des diagramme me montrant mon progrès très chouette.Version: 2.2.1
✓ Works well, free version has key featuresGreat app, the free version has enough key features to be useful. The paid version looks enticing and ill eventually succumb. Good stuff!.Version: 1.7.6

✓ Extremely useful for long-term productivityI've found this app to be extremely useful for helping me (as the name suggests) 'Be Focused' on whatever I'm working on. I really like the way you can adjust the 'working' and 'rest' periods to suit whatever task you're performing and how it then tracks the number of cycles you've done. A great tool, especially for those who wish to be productive with the time they spend on a task..Version: 1.6.2
✓ Best appIt's so helpful for me to keep things in order.Version: 2.1.1
✓ Very simple and easy to use 😊Very simple and easy to use 😊.Version: 1.6.2
✓ Great revision tool!I use this all the time when revising. It helps me keep track of how many hours I'm doing a day and motivates me to do more revision. I can choose how long and when my breaks are as well, so it will work for everyone!.Version: 1.6.2
✓ Love itAlways keeps motivated.Version: 1.2
✓ My Go-To Pomodoro TimerIt does what I need I to do in typical Pomodoro method. I enjoy using it on my iPad because I like to dedicate the iPad to the time while I work on the computer. I like the buzzer that I always hear because it gets your attention. What I am disappointed in is its lack of ability to disregard tasks and target Pomodoros and just keep it running until I stop it and not care about keeping track of the Pomodoros I did. All things considered, a great, simple, Pomodoro timer that is designed efficiently and provides advanced Pomodoro functions..Version: 1.6.2
✓ Love ItThis app combines the effective "pomodoro technique" with helpful customization on an easy-to-use platform. Users can choose the standard 25-minutes-of-work and 5-minutes-of-rest approach, or personalize the sessions and break times to fit their personal needs and goals. A wonderful bonus is the range of alerts available. I have come to rely on the sounds of the "victory" chime telling me I have finished a session and the "train whistle" signaling the end of a break. Frankly, I don't know if I would have finished my current writing project without Be Focused. All in all, this is a great app!.Version: 1.6.2
✓ App crashingThe app is constantly crashing, as in it works for a bit, but then none of the buttons work, which is quite frustrating..Version: 2.1.1
✓ It’d be good if it could override Do Not DisturbThe point of a focus timer is to focus right? But I have to turn off notifications for all apps manually because if I put on Do Not Disturb then the timer won’t ring. The notifications coming through regardless are annoying and I find it defeats the point of the timer a little, so I can’t give it 5*..Version: 2.0.2
✓ UsefulIt serves for its purpose, easy to use and ads arent that annoying or persistent.Version: 2.1.1
✓ No complaintsDoes just and everything I need..Version: 2.2
✓ Simple, but has a bug...I like that this app is easy to use and tracks how many blocks of work you've done. I also love the sounds it features. However, I'm not receiving sound notifications when the time is up. I am getting a banner, but it would be very helpful if I could also receive a sound notification. I did check that my phone would allow sound notifications from the app, and made sure that my phone wasn't on silent. The app did send me a notification the first time, but not after that Otherwise, great app!.Version: 1.7.5
✓ Be focusedFantastic app, definitely recommend this one. Even if you have no other revision app and feel you don’t need one, this one will have a significantly positive impact on your learning and your progression..Version: 1.7.6
✓ Amazing appThis is an amazing app. I downloaded it yesterday to help me with me GCSE exams and it really enabled me to stay focused for extended periods of time. I love how you can choose the different time lengths that you want to study for because it makes me feel more motivated and focused and inspired to reach longer periods of time lengths. I also love how you can customise the break times, this means that I am able to decide how long I need a break for meaning I am not pressured to constantly be working within time limits. I feel much more happier and pleased to conduct more focused areas of revision. Overall, 5 stars!!!.Version: 1.7.5
✓ Love itThis app is amazing.Version: 2.3
✓ Amazing appLove this app. Keeps me focused to do the job in time and stops me being hyper focused on the little things when I need to do a quick clean around the house. Love the fact you can change time intervals and i now have 5 things everyday to do which is making the house looking ship shape. I haven’t upgraded and it has everything I need for the time being. I have ADHD and this app has changed my life, best app I have ever used amazing..Version: 1.7.6
✓ BestGgh.Version: 2.0.2
✓ Keeps me motivatedI’ve been using this app on and off for a year til recently the last 6 weeks I’ve been very consistent and I love the mini break timers I get to keep from burning out and deflating my brain while I study. Highly recommend for busy moms, business owners, and students to help keep you on track! Also it’s very satisfying to see my productive stats over whatever period set of time I set it to so see my progress..Version: 2.2
✓ Suits my needsI like the ticking or the option to remove it. Also like you can choose to leave your screen on. Also like that the time frame can be modified. I like bursts of 15 minutes….Version: 2.2
✓ TonyDrake2Good for concentation and planning work.Version: 2.2
✓ I like it :)I really like this app and it is helpful for studying, although you have to have your phone on loud to hear the timers for when your break finishes which is annoying as I then have to hear all my other notifications. Either way I really like using this app!.Version: 1.7.6
✓ Best used for Focused EffortI use this to track my study time. 25m on, 5m breaks. I THINK I’m doing more than I actually am. Also use this to focus on giving undivided attention to work tasks. It’s not looking at a long list of to do’s and thinking how long will this take, it’s the opposite effect. How many thugs can I do well in a focused session? The tracking is a big eye opener. That’s where you see how much time has gone by and how much or little you have accomplished..Version: 1.7
✓ Love it after one day of useSo far this app is doing everything I want it to and more. I wanted a timer to help with focus and got that plus a clean representation of where I'm spending my time. Apple watch integration is great too. UPDATE After a couple of days of use, the app started"losing" timers... I ran it for an entire morning (three or four cycles of work) and then it was just... gone. Timers that I started on my watch didn't show on the app on my phone... and so on. I've gone back to using a regular multi-timer app for my pomodoro needs..Version: 1.7.5
✓ Meets my needI just need something that I can set a time interval for both resting time and study time. And this is a simple, easy to use tool that meets my requirements perfectly..Version: 2.0.2
✓ Simple and effectiveThe app design is very simple and straight forward. I really enjoy using it. However, some UX issues may need to be improved. For example, it’s hard to rearrange the order of the tasks. Also, it’s not easy to view the deadlines all at once..Version: 2.3
✓ Great App!I use this app on my computer and phone, though mostly on my computer. It’s simple, easy to use and sleek. I like the list feature and the stats. I use the free version but definitely going to upgrade at some point. It has been such a quality tool in keeping me on track with studying and working without distractions..Version: 2.1.1
✓ A good motivatorI’m usually terrible at studying consistently but this app (especially with adjustable time periods) helps keep my head in the game longer..Version: 1.7.5
✓ Really good revision helps a lotThis is a really good revision app and helps me track how much revision I am doing and motivates me to do more. I would recommend for anyone that wants to do a timed task or has revision to do. Could be more interactive though they layout is a tad basic.Version: 1.6.2
✓ I recommend this app 100%I think that this app is awesome because first of all, you don't need to pay in order to do something in it. You only need to pay if you want to have extra little gadgets but you don't need to. It helps me stay focused all the time and I get my homework done faster and in a more efficient way without getting burn outs. It super easy to customize the time for your break and work time!.Version: 1.7.6
✓ Keeps me on trackGreat app to keep me focused and on track. Simple to use. Just add to widget on iPhone and it makes time optimisation easy and doable..Version: 2.1.1
✓ WorksDoes what it should do. I wish there were the option to change the notification when a pomodoro is completed as sometimes it's too easy to miss. Also a pomodoro goal for the week, for example, could work better for some people than a goal per day.Version: 1.4
✓ Really goodIt has been really good using this app to see my progress and to see the number of times I’ve done something. As well as it has been really helpful in other ways to.Version: 2.1.1
✓ Does the job :)Brilliant app - does the job well and for free. Handy tasks feature lets you keep track of how much time you've spent on each task. I used it during my GCSEs and am now using it for my A level mocks - it's perfect for exam season!.Version: 1.6.2
✓ A really helpful app!As a writer I need to plan my output and ideas, but at the same time get the work done. Previously I have made the mistake of taking a whole chapter on board from the start and I’ve been distracted by over thinking or by considering the whole piece from the outset, when in fact I only need to complete it one section at a time. Be Focussed is is perfect for that as it allows me to do the job property in a steady process. This takes a lot of the stress and fatigue out of it and the short breaks help this a lot..Version: 2.3.1
✓ Hesitant but it works!I wasn’t sure how this was going to help me manage tasking, but it has! Maybe it’s like Pavlov’s dog and I’m just conditioned to the beeps, but who cares?! The productivity is real!.Version: 2.1.1
✓ It goodAwesome app and it’s free.Version: 2.1.1
✓ Great app!!👍🏾Would need notification or ring, if I’m playing Spotify while time is counting down!!.Version: 2.0.2
✓ This awesomeMakes your day so productive and efficient.Version: 2.1.1
✓ ProductivityNice and it helps me to study more and focus better. It’s helpful for the upcoming semester and exam..Version: 2.3
✓ Simply but powerfulThe free version is just enough to get me into a flow..Version: 2.0.2
✓ Really goodHelps a lot with work and becoming more productive when you stick to the timings. Really useful as it can be adapted to your specific work needs. :).Version: 1.6.2
✓ Great !Organized and fluid. Helpful for doing assignments and studying..Version: 2.2
✓ The Unusual yet Traditional method to StudyPomodoro method was something I heard on social medial by a motivational speaker, 5 years ago I learned about it and thought to myself to try it, this app makes easier for me to use efficiently, I have used throughout high school and still using it in college, this app is actually very effective, you should give it a shout, you may actually benefit from it like I did. Best of luck to every hardworking student & every developer of this app.Version: 1.7.6
✓ Good,I love it.Version: 2.3
✓ Simple, efficient, and good motivatorIts a really simple app that gets the work done. I love the way they present the data as it shows how much work Ive done over a week/month/year and really motivates me to push my pie chart a little further. No pop up ads, just wish they could set up individual accounts so that friends/contacts can connect and share their progress with each other..Version: 1.7.5
✓ Optional timesWhat I really like about this app compared to other similar types is the ability to choose your own study/break lengths without being premium :).Version: 2.0.2
✓ Good appSimple to use and no issues on iPhone.Version: 1.2
✓ Use it everydayWorks great, Saves my sanity..Version: 2.2.1
✓ Nice appSimple and easy to use, good for getting my work done. Only thing is that my music stops whenever I open this app, so please fix this. Overall it's a great app :).Version: 1.2
✓ MotivatorThis app just keeps me going. I do 25 mins of what ever tasks I choose for the day with 5 min breaks. My daughter used it for revision but I find it helps me to start jobs I don’t always want to in the house!.Version: 2.3
✓ Love itReally helps me stay on track. I recommend to all my business buddies 🙌.Version: 2.1.1
✓ Easy to useI find this app very useful to help me pace myself when work is intense. I’ve taken 1 star off because sometimes I don’t notice the alarm and it would be useful if the alarm repeated until switched off..Version: 2.3.1
✓ Love as is, w/ suggestions to bump to 5 starLove this app, it’s super useful just a few tweaks would turn it to a five star app. 1. Ability to have multiple tasks with different interval times. Currently I have to go to settings to switch the time for different types of tasks. 2. Ability to create a recurring task or to duplicate a previous task would work as well. None of the current pro features are enticing enough to go pro BUT the above features would totally be worth the money. Having said that, I think this app is so incredibly helpful as is and worth using without having to pay for pro..Version: 1.7.6
✓ So far so good!Ça fait la job pour l’instant! Nouvel utilisateur, trop tôt pour en dire plus..Version: 2.1.1
✓ Would like some work typesGood app in general, main thing stopping me from buying pro is that you can only have one work time length and only one type of work. Would like to be able to have different types of work that I can set with different lengths of time required. Still all round helpful app..Version: 1.7.1
✓ Great for focusLove this app! I’ve used it for over a year now and love how it tracks who long I’ve spent on each task and how easy it is to use. Definitely recommend!!.Version: 2.2
✓ Best I foundSimple and efficient, love it..Version: 2.3.1
✓ Great appIt’s an app that helps you, while respecting your own pace.Version: 2.2
✓ Work from home? This app is a Godsend.This app has helped finally find a flow that works for my work projects. I work from home, primarily, and this has helped me stay focused. I do a 25-minute work session with a 5-minute “reset” break. When I started couple this app with another free project management app called “Trello” my work day not only got more productive but became infinitely more organized. Thank you for this product!!!!!!!! -Ryan.Version: 1.7.5
✓ Great appGot me through all my exams so far and really helps me focus. Great to track all the hours I’ve done for each subject too. Bit annoying the pro version ad pop up, but can’t really complain..Version: 1.7.5
✓ Great flexibilityI love the way you can create custom pomodoro times..Version: 2.3
✓ Easy to use & EffectiveIt’s easy to use. In the settings you can set your work time and rest time to what you want. One thing I wish it let you do was pick a longer rest time. It only goes up to 30min and I like 40min because I work longer intervals. Otherwise great app. It does the job without excessive features that are necessary..Version: 2.1.1
✓ Outils utile pour suivre mes objectifsCompagnon quotidien de l’exécution de mes tâches récurrentes..Version: 2.2.1
✓ AmazingI use this app every day and it helps me to stay on top of all my work. I highly recommend this app to anyone in high school or college and anybody that works full or even part time. This app is helpful in so many ways and is worth it..Version: 1.7.1
✓ Great way to manage my timeSimple and easy to use.Version: 2.1.1
✓ High quality app!I’ve used plenty of time management apps and this one is the best one I’ve used so far. Other apps tend to limit it’s use if you didn’t buy the premium but this app works wonders even without buying premium, which is plus for a frugal student like me haha. I love how it shows stats of how many 25 minute intervals I’ve done for certain tasks. 10/10 would recommend to everyone who wants to be focused!.Version: 1.7.5
✓ Great organisation for productivityIt gives you not only pomodoro timers but allows you to assign them to tasks so you can see how much you're putting into each of your ongoing endeavours. On top of that it provides graphs so you can see your progress in efficiency and productivity over time. Great app..Version: 1.6.2
✓ Keeps me focussedThis app has been great at making sure I focus and get work done. I put down down or turn off distractions, put on some headphones (just for added quietness) and then press Start. It’s awesome..Version: 2.2
✓ Work From Home HelpI work from home and the BeFocused app really helps me get my work done without getting distracted and without taking more time than is necessary for a particular task. I love that the app is customizable. I set different intervals based on my schedule for the day the chronometer for certain tasks, like grading papers, that are easy to spend too much time on. Bonus the frequent breaks keep me from sitting too long and I get a few chores done between work sessions..Version: 1.7.1
✓ "Perfect for my needs"This app has helped me get a lot of work done, in the short period of time… It's easy to use and convenient… I'm able to work on several projects at once, making significant headway on each, Was easy sticking to my custom schedule. I really like this app, nice work..Version: 2.3
✓ New suggested featuresI just upgraded to Pro and wanted to use its ability of tags and csv exports to analyze how I spent my time. I’m thinking: 1. Is it possible to also add “tag” in the exported csv? 2. Does the app have access to the local time for each task, ie. when it started/ended? This might be more difficult because people can pause the timer, and the start-to-end local time can be confusing. Maybe just recording the start time makes more sense. Just some humble ideas that I thought would improve my own time-analysis, I understand if they’re not that cost-effective. Just wanna say really love this app you guys made:).Version: 2.3.1
✓ Helping me study despite my horrible ADHD!Helps me deal procrastination and impatience when studying, flunked out of classes 3 times, now medicated and using this app and now have almost completed my first course ever!.Version: 2.1.1
✓ Love it but unfortunately no access from apple watch complicationsThis is a very useful app and I love it. Just one issue, Can you please make it accessible from apple watch complications?! That way it will be easier to use and I will change my review to 5 stars..Version: 2.0
✓ Good simple to use with additional features if neededIt’s a classic pomodoro app, that is simple enough. If you want more features like naming the tasks, changing the sounds of notifications etc. That’s also possible. But my favorite thing about it is the compatibility with apple watch. *One thing I would add as feature would be a soft reminder like 1 min before the end of break so that I have time to go back my desk when the break is over. Or maybe a reminder to return to work, if I don’t start the timer after the break..Version: 2.1.1
✓ I can study without all the hassleI can set out my tasks for the day and it sets it all up for me with my timing and breaks it makes me feel more relaxed and less stressed out 😊😊😊😊.Version: 1.7.6
✓ Good app, please add watch complicationProbably the best overall app for multi device users , with times syncing across devices live. However, adding a Watch complication to make pausing (when interrupted by colleagues etc) and resuming super quick, would elevate the app..Version: 2.1.1
✓ Sync is now working!The sync credentials and sync is fixed! Now can start using across devices! Thank you!.Version: 1.7.1
✓ Helpful and niceI love this app and it helps me control my life so much better. My productivity increases and I feel more motivated to just keep working instead of checking social media because I feel guilty if I have to pause the timer. This is motivation I haven’t had with just my phone timer. One thing I would like added is if you could customize the amount of time for an interval in each separate task. For example, one task might have one hour intervals while another task may have half hour intervals..Version: 1.7.1
✓ Great reminder to take a breakI love using this app. They say you learn better and can focus more if you break your work into short blocks of time. It’s also not good to sit for too long. This app helps remind me to take a break. I set it to do 20 minute blocks with five minute breaks after each block and a long 15 minute break after four blocks. I get up and move around during each break. It’s easy to loose track of time but this app fixes that issue. I also love that it tracks everything so I’m able to see how productive I’ve been at the end of the day..Version: 2.1.1
✓ Easy to use.I find it easier to concentrate in stretches of work using this app. Also easy to set longer periods and the project name to track work per project..Version: 2.0.2
✓ Works wellThe only pomodoro appp I can find that lets me adjust the volume of the ticking sound so I can mix it with other background music playing at the same time. Wish I could make the ticking louder..Version: 1.7.5
😕 Be Focused – Focus Timer Negative Reviews
