This app is great for keeping track of your focus time, it's easy to use and convenient and the design is so minimalist and good. I hope I see more development in this app. It'll be so good if we get to have different themes and colors for the background and we get to stop the timer without having to actually quit the session. Also the cat game can be so much more cute and developed.

Best focus app I've ever seen! Definitely better than For*st. Although it'd be great if we can use the whitelist more than thrive a day (maybe revving up to 10 and utilizing ad rewards to 'refill') and utilize checklists. But overall, great app! Lightweight (on foregorund and background, doesn't use too much RAM). In-app purchases are now available too! Definitely recommended.

Could be good but two big annoyances: 1. I can't see the amount of time remaining in my focus session if I exit the app and reopen it. The app is a blank title screen until the time expires. 2. If you accidentally close the break timer, you can't restart it. You are forced to log another focus session so the tracker ends up not reflecting what you have actually done with your time. There was no option in the app to ask questions or request support. The FAQ and forum didn't help.

Hi, thank you for trying Striving: Forest phone lock. Can you please check if you’ve enabled everything in ‘Settings > Improve Focus’? If you are still having issues, could you send us your focus log (Settings > send log) after a bad focus session? Please reply to us with your game ID after the log is sent.
