Ads were very intrusive. Couldn't work out the UI. I was really hoping it would be nice and easy to use but it wasn't at. Not sure whether I was able to do what i wanted to do, since there wasn't an option. Decided to delete because I couldnt imagine using it with adds and I didnt want to have to work everything out. I recommend to the developers that you have a day free trial with no ads, so that users can get that full experience and see if theyre missing on anything. Dissapointed, but I dont doubt that it can help others. Try it and you'll see.

We are really sorry for this. We understand that ads can be troubling, therefore we show only banner ads which are least intrusive of all & we do not show any ads while you are working. Trust me, your work time will never be interrupted by ads. If you have any confusions with UI, please feel free to write to us at support@engrossapp.com.

This is my favourite focus timer, it is really simple but has all kinds of possibilities for timing that really adapts to whatever studying I am doing. The paid version is not that pricey either, and I appreciate that there's no subscription either. Overall, I think this is a really great app if you need to just put your phone down to focus on your daily tasks.

It seems like it may be useful but unfortunately on the free version you can't pause it, so I can't even try it out properly. Shame. Edit: That's kind of my point: why have unnecessary features, like building a schedule, on a 3 day free trial, but not the pause button which is pretty vital to the apps functionality and allows people to actually try out the app before deciding whether or not to pay for it. It just seems totally counterintuitive.

Hi Sophie, I am really sorry for the trouble. Actually, we have kept many other features for free and we wanted the basic timer to be strict, that is why we kept pause in Premium. I hope you understand my point. Sorry again.
