1. ★★★★★subscription paywall restricts features

   If you can’t customize the time of the timer, it’s not accessible enough. This was one of those apps that looked too good to be true and it was. This app does not allow you to customize the work timer and break timers. You can adjust how long to work/study/etc, but you cannot adjust the break timer without a premium subscription. In the description of the app, it says the monthly subscription is $0.99 but when I downloaded it (it’s 2026) it was $2.99 a month in the app. Most of the features shown in the description of the app require a subscription. Also, I would not consider this timer to be ADHD friendly because there are additional animations other than the chick walking. The chick walks behind things, there are different sized hills, and the light changes. It can be distracting.

   Purchased membership but not working. I purchased the one year membership, but I can’t get it to work. I tried to refresh and even reinstall and restored my purchase. Nothing worked!

   ipad端无法使用白名单模式啊. 设置好了白名单根本没用

5. ★★★★★subscription paywall restricts features

   Costs Too Much. In order to see your stats, create a timeline, along with using many other features, you have to pay for a membership. This was quite aggravating.

6. ★★★★★subscription paywall restricts features

   too slow about updates for features. don't recommend In-App Purchase, just stick to the free version. and new features are always "in the works." at best, you'll only get bug fixes. btw,2025 it doesn't even have a dark mode:(

7. ★★★★★subscription paywall restricts features

   Good app but it keeps asking me to write a review. Also is a micro transaction machine

8. ★★★★★want more animals and farm customization

   Great! Few Suggestions. Suggestions: MacOS app! - Multiple tags or sequential tags as you focus on a single focus session. This will allow no stoppage of timer to switch tags - More grow options always appreciated! - upgrades to farm: new scenery, items in the farm, color options - No cap on currency accumulation!

9. ★★★★★afraid to kill the pet, want a pause button

   I want to love but it just misses the mark.. I really want to love this app. It’s cute and I love raising the little animals. It’s easy to use and beautiful. But mine almost always die. There needs to be some way to make an exception to apps that can make interruptions during your block. For example, I might set a 30 minutes, 4 interval block for work. My company uses a lot of cloud applications and when I sign onto those, sometimes I have to approve an MFA pop up on my cell phone. This always kills my little guy. The same with school. Sometimes I have digital chat rooms that I need to respond in so now I have to setup my iPad instead of just using my cell, or kill my little dude. I’m happy I figured this out before I bought the lifetime subscription.

10. ★★★★★subscription paywall restricts features

    Signed up for pro and now doesn’t work. I think it’s a glitch but can you please fix it? It stays on a loading screen but when I reopen the app it says I already have pro but then isn’t useable

    手动添加专注记录功能优化建议. 希望手动添加专注记录的开始结束时间自动对其上一次专注结束，或者结束时间自动对其当前时间 时间轴的手动添加专注记录默认的从13点开始13:25结束，对于频繁使用这个功能的同学而言需要每次都重新滑时间。 对于专注时间结束但是仍在状态的同学来说，会在专注时间结束后继续学习，这个时候就需要手动添加时间，来记录学习时长。

    عداد الوقت هو افضل ميزة. عداد يظهر على سطح باقي التطبيقات، مفيد جدا للذين يستعملون التطبيق للدراسة في الايباد، يُظهِر لك كم تبقى لك وقت للدراسة تمنيت لو يتم اضافة هذه الميزة لعداد وقت الراحة، حتى لا تطول عندي الاستراحة و أنسى نفسي

    ChickFocus-Incredible but can improve. I LOVE ChickFocus it was a lifesaver during finals week last semester to get me to study and I am absolutely going to use it during next semester as I’ve bought the permanent accessibility to the pro features. I adore many things about the app but a few things could be added and/or improved. All in all I really love this app and it does help you focus if you care about killing the animals. IMPROVEMENTS/ADDITIONS BELOW: Improvements: I’m not really sure if the cycle/break/rest part of the pomodoro timer works because whenever the timer is over it doesn’t automatically start a new cycle. You have to manually set the new timer which defeats the purpose of a cycle and rest timer. Additionally some of the animals don’t have death screens which is fine since you don’t really wanna encourage people to kill the animals but it’s just something I noticed. Additions: it would be really nice if you guys could add automations for the shortcut app on iPhone because it would allow people who really need to be forced to stay off their phone to start a session without having to open the app. I’m not sure how it works but it’s something to look into :) It would also be really neat if there was more you can do with the animals you raise like name them and they have their own personal screen when you tap on them to see their stats. Not too much because it could get distracting but I think it would be cute to be able to name the little guys. All in all I really love this app and it does help you focus if you care about killing the animals.

    Awesome!!!. It helps me to gameify menial stuff like homework and chores, and this does exactly that! It has a paid membership, but it’s not required which I like. I wish more paid stuff was for free, but not that huge of a deal.

    Love it but…. It is honestly a very cute app and I want it to be the one that I use. Although, unlike other pomodoro timers, it doesn’t have a widget with a countdown clock, which would be so helpful. I have adhd so I forget that I’m doing a pomodoro sometimes, and I cannot stay on the screen because some of the things that I need to do are things that I have to do on my phone. With the apps that I can visually see that countdown when I go to another app to do something else, it is so much easier to remember that I am doing a pomodoro. I would really love it if this was an added feature :)

    :). id like to be able to see my chicken moving in a farm. otherwise, amazing. truly helped me concentrate and increase my productivity! and the interface is not distracting, the colors of other apps make me dizzy, this one doesn’t. more amimals would make it more gamified?

19. ★★★★★other

    Overall good app.. Good app, very cute. A little buggy in choosing which apps are allowed during focus time. I wish there was a dark mode and a way to interact with the farm animals or see them wonder around a farm house/land that slowly grows with more successes.

    Pringles@. It take time until you get more in to it and you get used to it

21. ★★★★★afraid to kill the pet, want a pause button

    Love it. I’m a animal lover and when I exited the app and went back in it said my chick died I hated that so I stayed on track and it worked

    ChickFocus: Pomodoro Timer That Keeps You on Track. This app is a great tool for improving focus and productivity. You set a specific time to study or concentrate, and during that period it blocks distracting apps that you choose in advance. It really helps you stay on track without constantly checking your phone.

    Chickens!!!. Cute app! Love that I can see the timer on both my Apple Watch and MacBook. I love the lil chickens & the app is helping me focus on my work. Oh and, PLEASE let us name our chickens!!! 🐔

    Apple Watch Update. I have been a long time user so I enjoy the normal functions, the new Apple Watch update is convenient enough for me to finally ditch my phone for this. In the future, adding widgets for the watch would be great, and I want to see my farm on the watch version if that’s possible:)

28. ★★★★★want widgets, apple watch support and stats

    Apple Watch. Make it available on Apple Watch too

29. ★★★★★want widgets, apple watch support and stats

    Great app. This might be the first pomodoro timer I can't bring myself to cancel lol A few ideas: • A toggle for "always on display *while charging*" - so it will turn off normally while on battery. • Automatically mute notifications while in focus mode (maybe turn on a special iOS focus mode?)
