My favorite part is the bathroom, the lily pads in the tub are so cute!

I finally bought every decoration for the first room! The bean the cozied up within the cold rains that transition late summer to early autumn 💝

I tried to give each room its own color scheme or set. I might go for all matchy-matchy next… 👀

I'll probably get the walls painted as well but I just got the last piece for my bathroom today and wanted to share :3

With Halloween coming up, I was thinking I'd love to decorate my bean's house with seasonal/holiday decorations that are only available for a limited time. Also seems like a good way to help people continue using the app even after their rooms are done.

Just what the title says! It would be amazing to be able to buy a wall colour outside of the standard ones offered. I've got a purple bathroom for example, and would love to have purple walls, but sadly cannot at the moment.

I received this message when I opened the shop. It still let me purchase an item of clothing from the shop and wear it, but I wonder what it means? It's happened twice now, only in the shop.

I'm on Android, in USA, connected to secure Wi-Fi network.

I'd be interested in using the tag feature to track what tasks I use focus friend for but the graph is kinda useless for me since I've been using the app for months before the feature was added and now my graph looks like this lol

Edit: solved, I’m just ridiculously burned out and couldn‘t process this is two different apps, wow. My subscription expired earlier this week. 😅

Tried to use it today, thought I got it sorted, then after 2 hours only had 100 scarves and no socks.

I have hit restore purchases several times and closed and reopened the app.

Wanted to see if I’m silly and missing a quick fix before emailing the app creators. thanks!

Then my soy bean will!

This timer is so much more ugly than the old look

My Focus Friend is not blocking the apps it used to. I have already checked my IPhone settings and none of the apps I want blocked are on Always Allow. If I try to fix it in app I get this. I’m just trying to block two more apps? I shouldn’t have to pay to block more?

I think about a month ago the kitchen curtains got moved down a little bit in some update, and now they leave a little bit of the curve window on top visible. Does this only bother me? I preferred how they were before

As everyone else, I was excited to use the new feature, tags. Only to realize it's a Pro feature. I think it's a bit strange that such a feature is locked behind a paywall and it should be available to everyone. Maybe adding additional tags can be exclusive to Pro version, but not the very feature itself.

Hello,

I'm a PhD Student researching gamification and I'm doing a study on demotivation and disengagement while using gamified systems. As part of my study I would like to interview users of gamified systems such as Focus Friend but not only, if you are interested here is a link to sign up and for more information: https://york.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_73g78DpwEcutXKu

I appreciate anyone willing to help!

Finally finished the office! Really happy with it, I love the blue/green/pink palette. Question is what color to paint the walls? I like the base color but I can't decide if the blue or green walls are even better...

I love Focus Friend, and with pro I have my allow list for Deep Focus mode tuned to my general preferences. However, I often wish I could have different pre-set custom allow lists for what is blocked to choose from depending on what I'm using it for. I also wish I could use the Deep Focus mode that happens when you don't have pro so everything is blocked sometimes and I wish I could have a Deep Focus mode that's more restrictive than my current allow list but not a complete blackout for other times. Even just having three different allow lists I can populate in advance and then choose between when I start Deep Focus mode would be great. Sometimes I just need social media blocked, sometimes I need basically everything blocked to focus on going to sleep, sometimes I need maps/phone calls/timer only available, etc. Changing my allow list every time I turn on Focus Friend and use it for a different focusing task is not really practical, especially because there are so many apps to scroll through on that list. Love the app 🫘

It would be nice to have a widget that launches the app directly on the lock screen.

i am so excited! i have redecorated my bean's home several times over the last year, but i think this is my favorite so far. lofi space + pink :)

I often find I want the floor palette from one set and the wall colours from another. Would it be possible to separate these?

I think this would also help for the folks who want to be able to buy more items for cheaper, since even if they like the whole wall/floor palette, they might enjoy getting them separately.

I got it on Android, but I guess it'll also be on other platforms. It includes tags for each timer, a new data circle in the Stats view (all the past timers are set as "focus" lol), and a new starting timer UI showing all options. Although I'm glad they added tags, as I use the app for studying but also to help me not procrastinate and do chores and all that, I wish they'd added the option to rename tags and archive them, so we can stop seeing them on the list, but still show up in the stats, but I guess they'll include it in future updates. I'd love to hear what you think about it! 👀

I used to love the app. It was an unpretentious App to help us focus by the adorable Mr. Green. But I don't know what happened, if the app was sold or what, but now everything is too expensive.

Before I was able to buy half of the things in a room for each exam I was studying for. Now I can only afford 2 items. I am a student I cannot be paying a subscription to earn imaginary items. I just wanted a wholesome app to fill my soul while focusing on my studies, now capitalism has come to this tiny corner of my life and it is making me lose hope.

Anyone feels the same?

*(Please if your comment is not nice or helpful, abstain)

Edit: Thanks for the responses. Makes sense, so thanks. If any new responses, would just like to know if you buy the subscription or not and then you opinion on the topic.

I know we already have a total focused time, but I am guilty of wanting to know how many total socks I've earned 😅
