Review Focus Bear?

Reviewers mostly say Focus Bear helps them stay on task by blocking distracting sites and apps, structuring routines, prompting breaks, and nudging them back to relevant work; several mention better focus, steadier days, less stress, and being more punctual. It seems especially useful for people dealing with procrastination, ADHD, or similar attention challenges. The main complaints are practical: setup can feel confusing, scheduling is not flexible enough for some, notifications can feel harsh, and a few users report serious reliability and account-access problems, including routines stopping mid-trial.

App won’t let me in as it’s blocked by a paywall even though I am paying a subscription. Sent feedback to try and get them to fix this - no reply. I’ve gone through to the website to stop paying for something I can’t use and it’s now saying my password is wrong even though it’s saved and hasn’t changed. Tried to click reset password and it’s not sending me emails to get back into my account even though I know the email is right because I get other emails from focus bear. Feel a bit like I might’ve been scammed here and I can’t stop my subscription!!!

I really like Focus Bear. As an Assistive Technology Support Officer at Third level, I see how Focus Bear can support students who struggle with procrastination, completing tasks and planning. One of my favourite features is helping students stay focussed when reading online as it prevents students drifting or clicking off the point as it prompts them to get back on topic or relevant content. Finally, I find the developers supportive and responsive to suggestions and ideas.

This app was a discovery. It has helped me quite well especially with blocking distracting websites, adding friction to things where I tend to just get lose track of time. I do want to explore how the IOS app version could help me out. Keep up the good work.

Focus bear is fantastic at making my ADHD brain focus on what I need to be doing, not what I want to be doing. After the trial, my work output drastically dropped so I had no choice but to subscribe. Would recommend.

A veces la aplicación se traba y los horarios no me convienen en cuanto a mis clases en la universidad, las actividades se podrían programar de forma automática según los paquetes de actividades que se ofrecen

Nice idea. And yes, some apps/tools for some reason don't send notifications when they should. So your product has potential. My only suggestion for now if the notification could look more friendly, and not as a warning or some system error. But good work!

Thanks we'll work on improving the UI of Late No More - for v1 it's about the functionality.

Love Focus Bear. All my calendar notifications were sitting passively in the background and I was constantly late to meetings. I started using Focus Bear and I arrive on time all the time.
