User Reviews for Emphasis: Flow & Focus Timer

Wonderful! Streamlined display and easy to use

The simplicity of the display is amazing; there’s nothing there to distract or confuse or overwhelm. The “pie” display for time is awesome. The ease of use is just wonderful, too; this app (or at least, its developer) just “gets it.” I only used the app for about 4 or 5 days before I decided it was definitely worth paying for it. I struggle with regulating attention and maintaining focus, especially when at work, and have tried a number of different apps to help keep me organized and/or on track; this app is for sure one of my favorites.

simple and to the point!

I don’t really care for the fancy, multiple features that most pomodoro apps have so this is a perfect fit! minimalistic and no unnecessary features 👍🏽 if there was anything to add, its just an aesthetic idea i have. since you have the option to change the color theme, maybe add an option to change the font theme? just a small detail but it’d be cool to have!edit: another feature i think would be cool is to have a timer widget that shows how much time has elapsed while using your device. For example, if I’m using an app for my focus work, then i could see a moveable widget timer on the screen. Hopefully that makes sense!

Was perfect until subscription was required.

This app was perfect (keyword WAS) before the subscription was required. It let you set timers at any length and it had stats that you could use to track your productivity. It even had that lovely minimalistic style that is not distracting but also quite chic and it let you change the color of the background to a variety of soothing or fun colors. Now, they require a $25 annual subscription for most of the colors, most of the settings, and to even be able to view the stats. I really loved this app and wouldn’t have minded an ad or two in the settings if it kept it free, but now I feel that most of the app is restricted.

The graphic timer was a game changer

I’ve used several apps that apply the pomodoro technique, each with great success. But I’ve found this app to boost my productivity like never before. The boost in productivity has unexpectedly come from the timer being a graphic representation as opposed to the numerical representation common among most productivity apps. I noticed with the graphic timer I look at the timer a lot less and focus more on the work I’m doing. This could be because rather than thinking “Oh I have 5:32 left on the clock” (which I do often with numerical countdown timers) I see an estimate visually represented by a pie graphic and I think “There is still time left, so just keep working.” This “so just keep working” default that has come from not knowing the amount of time left down to the last second has helped me “just keep working” which was my objective in using the app. Couple this graphic timer with the simple progress tracker and minimalist user interface, this app has given me tremendous value in regard to productivity, especially as I continue working on my dissertation.

Aesthetically Pleasing and Simple

Love the aesthetics of the app and the graphical nature of the timer vs digits or a clock. Also I like that it’s not bloated with unneeded features or busy menus. One thing I would like to point out is when I’m either listening to text to speech/music or out of the app, is that the sound is low and occurs only once. Some Bluetooth headphones create a delay between the phone playing a sound and the headphones actually playing the sound, causing the first maybe half or quarter second of a sound clip to be cut off. I have missed the bell/ding of the timer multiple times this way. I wonder if a repeating sound option or more sound choices could be added in the future. Of course, this app and the Pomodoro Technique have definitely increased my productivity.

Exactly what I need... One glitch though

I love the simplicity, the color scheme, and the addition of being able to add a tag line, the ease of starting and switching timers. I love how the interface encourages long form writing. It’s more in line with the way I think and process what I need to do while also offering the option of simple checklists/to-do’s. There is one glaring glitch though. When I logged out and then logged in, it did not remember my preset settings and some of my writing was lost into the abyss. This is a huge no-no, so I hope the developers really fix it or give us to export/back-up our data.

Changing my original review

I’m changing my review because it’s been a little upsetting about this most recent update. I had updated thinking that I’m only getting stability problems fixed but turns out all the features that I’ve been using are suddenly premium for $25 a year. I understand that in order to receive more benefits, updates, software, and overall app development that this is important. However, I was not notified on the update and seems like a lot for compared to other apps that may only have one payment and be done. Therefore I must part ways with this app even though it was perfect for me and had everything I wanted. I couldn’t justify paying that much yearly for another app that does the same thing for perhaps a one time payment.

Buggy

I have been using this timer for over a year. It has helped immensely with my productivity, as I use it to time my “animedoro” sessions. The interface is clean and easy to use. The design is pretty, and having the timer not use the exact minutes left is a great feature so it doesn’t feel like I’m just counting down the minutes until my break. However, I have been steadily running into the same issue. I will start a work session, and the session will end without a notification or ding if I'm in another app despite me having both my sound and notifications on. I have it on my iPad, where I also take my notes at the same time, so it is possible this may be causing issues. Another problem I have is that I will finish a work session, and it will have me start another work session by pressing the timer, instead of starting my short break. Often times, I do not notice that it has changed and will accidentally start a new work session when I mean to be on a break.

Perfect... until the update

Before the most recent update, I used this app daily alongside my flash card app Anki. I would study for 5 minutes, with 2 minute short breaks, and 12 minute long breaks. However, to get through my excessive amount of flash cards (+600... I’m in medical school), I need about 40+ 5 minute sessions (ie. The daily goal). However, the most recent update decreased the permitted daily goal to 16. This limitation actually makes it impossible for me to use this app, my favourite of all the pomodoro timer apps. I ask, as an exhausted student, please change this feature back to allow for more study sessions! Because the app it otherwise perfect, for which I thank you! No distractions, no ads, background colour options to decrease visual distractions. Honestly, I still try to use it but I have 1400 Anki cards today, I wanted to plead for the return of my study buddy. Thank you for all your hard work!

Simplicity supports success

Incredible solution ADD/ADHD. I’m unbelievably distractible and struggle to refocus once I believe I’ve failed at focusing. I use a variety of techniques to help me, but this is one of the most important.Most pomodoro apps are a little fussy and have distractions built in. This app shows you only what you need/what’s important when you need it, but still has deep functionality so you can do things like track your progress. Working for 25 minutes doesn’t feel like a long time at all, and frequent breaks feel like I’m cheating on how much time I actually spend working, but the thing is, *it works*. I’m at least doubly as productive when I use this app versus when I don’t. That’s not an exaggeration by the way. I work in a metrics driven role and my numbers at least double every time I use this app. The dings/chimes at the end of a work session/break are rewarding and I honestly get so excited to hear the special melody after I’ve reached my daily goal.10/10 would recommend.
