I LOVE this app. The only thing I'd change is the widget by making tapping the top of the task widget open the app, that way I won't need a redundant icon on my home screen. I'd also like the ability to sort items by priority in the widget too, it could maybe match whatever it's set to in app. This is my fav no frills productivity tool I've come across so far and the distraction tracker is truly thee way. Thanks for all y'all do, I bought a lifetime sub a while ago to support

I like that it tells you when your timer will be up, and I like the overall design, but I couldn't find a way to have the app ping (rather than only vibrate) when my sessions and breaks were up. Also, breaks got buggy—sometimes I'd take one and when I went to the app to start working, it would show the break being up but with no time, so I had to click "Skip." Lots of notifications, too, while running. Overall, the app is a little off from what I'm after.

Hi Caroline, We’re really sorry for the issues you are facing. The app does have the option to ping, you will find it in the settings->Manage Notifications. Regarding the other issue, the app might be getting killed in the background. I request you to please ping us at support@engrossapp.com, we’ll assist you with both the issues & get rid of them.

This app is clearly only intended to be used if you want to block distractions on your phone. It basically can't be used without granting numerous permissions that alert and block you from using the phone when the timer is up. I don't have a problem with distractions on my phone so I don't need it blocking any of that. I just need the alert but the app is literally impossible to use until you grant those permissions.

Hi Tyler, We are really sorry for the inconvenience. Actually, the permissions are not just needed for blocking other apps, it is used to show up the app when a break ends and work session starts. Please allow the required permissions and give it a try, if you need any assistance, let us know at support@engrossapp.com.
