No Watch support for series 1 & 2
Paula Maria
Saw that this was watch compatible, and downloaded it for that reason. Perhaps that support only started with watchOS 6, but I find that doubtful since it was only made available (to séries 3 and above) a few days ago. As watchOS 6 is not yet available for Series 1 & 2 watches, I’m unable to download and use it with my watch. Disappointing. While it’s important for developers to keep up to date with OS updates, and I would otherwise appreciate the timeliness, there’s no reason to drop support for a previous version of an OS when it’s not yet available for all devices that will support it. Glad I have not yet paid for this app. I don’t mind the subscription fee, as I understand the work involved in app maintenance and development, but I would have been livid if I’d been a paying subscriber and support for my watch was dropped before the watchOS update became available for me. Not exactly a fair way to handle things IMO.
Disappeared
elzora
App disappeared from my Apple Watch after using it heavily a few days ago. It cannot be reinstalled via the Watch settings. Confused, I opened Focus app on iPhone and it is now asking for a subscription payment? When did this happen??? Happy to pay flat rate for app but not a monthly fee!
Features not working
BeBeHere&
The app doesn’t make a sound when the timer is finished. Also can’t get to buttons to customize length according to project. The buttons are below the Start Working bar and not accessible. Focus was also showing up as a Complication to select for my iWatch, but that feature has now disappeared. The reason I subscribed was the convenience of tracking my on and off time on my watch. At this point, I’d be better off just using Alexa as a timer.
Very helpful!!!

I use this app when I want to get stuff done. It is easy to use, customizable, and to the point.
Great accountability tool
JJOForChrist
Have been using this app this year and it’s been a great accountability tool. I’m still understanding how to better utilize it but it’s been great to stay focused and get work completed.
Warning: Watch app requires WatchOS 6
serene and impatient
…which is NOT available on Series 1 or 2 watches. Apple has said these watches released before September 2017 will get OS 6 eventually, but makes no promises when. Meanwhile, NO WATCH APP. My watch app disappeared without warning on a routine Focus app update. Their “support” answer? “update to watchOS 6” — which is not possible. So I (and everyone who has a watch more than 2 years old—still well within a reasonable lifespan) am paying for an app that without warning eliminated the watch app. For the premium prices we’re paying for what’s a basic pomodoro app, I’d expect better support and smarter releases.
