BFT - Bear Focus Timer

All I wanted was a simple, cute timer. No ads and no need for to do lists, statistics, calendars… just a simple pomodoro. So glad to have found one! However, I like being able to see my timer. I wish there was a way to set the timer without having to turn the phone over.

Would easily give this 5 stars if the Apple Watch notifications worked :/ (sync between the iPhone and Apple Watch would be a nice bonus too)

I love how simplistic and cute this app is with the sound effects and the story of the bear 😂 but is it possible to have a chart or some sort of data specifying how many sessions I did in a certain date/day. Like a chart of all the dates that I focused .<br/><br/>I love the cute pictures after because it’s like a reward system of encouragement but it is rewarding for me to see a data chart of my improvement of focusing 🧘🏾‍♀️ <br/><br/>Thank you

I really like the look and feel of this app, and it has some great stuff going for it. But you cannot start the timer unless you flip your phone over and that’s a non-starter for me. Even when I’m working, I need to have my phone visible to see if there are new notifications from our kids. All they’d need to do is offer an option in settings to start the timer with an onscreen button and I’d give it 5 stars.

This app is a game-changer for anyone who finds typical productivity tools too distracting. It swaps complex data for a charming, hand-drawn look that makes focusing feel surprisingly calm.<br/>The Flip to Focus feature is the highlight; you set your timer and physically turn your phone face down to begin. This tactile habit instantly stops the urge to check notifications. Combined with high-quality forest soundscapes, the app creates a perfect environment for staying in the zone.

Looked cute. Bought it. Followed the instructions, but didn’t get any kind of notification when the timer was up.

I know $2 isn’t a lot, but for an app to cost money that does nothing but set a timer and make sounds, why does the app freeze and glitch so often? I have an iPhone sr (2020 edition) so it might just be outdated. However, for such a simple app is it possible to make it compatible for all devices and lag free? <br/>When ever I open the settings of the app and try to change the white noise, sometimes it glitches and the app freezes and the sounds don’t change when you tap it. Then maybe 10 seconds later it would change and freeze again. Eventually the app just crashes and I have to start over all my sessions. I like the app other than the glitches, but it really ruins my work flow and misses the whole point of this app. <br/><br/>I’d also like there to be more features if possible. After many sessions with this app, the sounds just get old and mundane. If the creators can add anything new that would be nice.

this is a really great app that combines productive guidance with a little doodly bear!
