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.

Amazing! Love how it allows you to block apps WITHOUT payment. ❤️ strict mode. Tho, improvements can be made: Ringtone keeps ringing 3 times even when u click it. Focus session data can be organised better- times of day that sessions r completed & session duration throughout day shown in a graph per day throughout the week so u can see what time u work best. E.g 2hrs from 9-11am Monday but tue u did 30mins @ 2-2.30pm etc. Future possibility of setting daily/ weekly goals as well e.g 4hr per day.
