Sadly won’t even load
I get a white screen whenever I try to open the app. Rebooted the phone, uninstalled, reinstalled still nothing. Now I have a wearable that does nothing
United StatesApp opens, white screen, app crashes
App opens, white screen, app crashes. That’s all. Device is now useless. Had it for two days. Great business model: sell device, confirm activation, provide no service.
United StatesI’ve LOVED the foci so much since it first started but…
I was an original backer of the first Foci. It helped me not only see trends in my daily energy levels. It actually was part of the reason I was diagnosed with narcolepsy. It would show massive amounts of fatigue throughout my days but I didn’t “feel” tired. Little did I know my normal level of energy was similar the amount of energy a person has after a 24 hour shift of hard labor. I was so thankful for this being so important to my life I quickly backed the foci 2 as soon as I could! But now the app and device has gone down hill so much. I’ve sent so many requests for help that usually just get marked as solved without ever responding. Right now the app will not update your deep focus time unless you close the app completely and reopen it. It can be annoying when you just want to see how your day is going. My latest issue of my foci 2 not vibrating at all for any of the streaks I usually have 2, the focus slip and fatigue. This is a massive issue for me because the fatigue notifications helped track and warn of narcoleptic sleep attacks. I know it’s not designed for that purpose but it really helped me track it. I reached out through the app feedback on the 29th I’ve sent 3 messages adding info to the issue as I find out more and still have heard nothing back… I seriously love this device so much but it’s almost become unusable and it’s so upsetting.
United StatesSoftware seems to be improving but too early to say
I will give it four stars for now and update this review after using it for a while.
United StatesPotentially Useful Device
... but poorly supported by the app. For instance, with the promise of reducing distraction, the app's Deep Work function is filled with distractions and expects you to concentrate while inhaling twice and exhaling once keeping pace with a metronome. Poor use of colors often making data and messages unreadable: light yellow font against a white background. On the history page, a blue graph tracks yellow data, blue also represents both calmness and tension. There's no thought of colors having consistent meaning. And that history, date specific page has tacked-on graphs of current data no matter what day the page heading says is displayed. Inefficient and inaccurate graphing. The app's history info that could be expressed in a simple graph is spread over four pages of meaningless shapes which to fully understand requires manual calculations. Indications shown in an hour may have occurred completely in another hour. A simple graph of focus might appear as a flat zero line or as maximally high with no vertical scale to warn users. The exact same data usually looks different in today's view of it from yesterday's view. The cumulative graph of focus often fails to match the data it's accumulating. The help text is wordy and redundant. With poor navigation: like straight line sequence with the only path to reach a specific topic is to start at the beginning again. At the end id a section you have to click a button to display the button to click to move ahead. They have a 100+ page document that tries to explain the app's use. It's necessary because of the app's design weaknesses. The document explains a page-sized flow chart in nearly a dozen places. The flow chart's message is that habits are habitual which doesn't require the flow chart or the 50 pages explaining it. Unfortunately this exhausting list is not exhaustive. There is much more wrong with the app. The Foci device, worn clipped to your waistband, can operate without the app. It vibrates to indicate various attention failures. Unfortunately the vibration is so weak I rarely feel it.
United StatesPlease add integrations!
I love this app so much - I have very bad attention span and have tried a ton of apps, but there is nothing that actually changes my focus like this IRT. The biofeedback has honestly changed my working so much for the better (less stressed, more energy somehow?) and I am getting flow streaks several times a day! Would be great if it can integrate with other apps especially Apple health. Why this hasn't been done yet I don't know (my fitbit makes it very easy). Once it can connect up, it will be a gamechanger.
United StatesEffective tool for focus
FOCI has been a great tool for improving both my productivity and focus. The data it provides is quite insightful into my current state and how to improve it. At the moment, I would say it is more useful for productivity fans, quite limited in terms of extra explanation of the features, so you have to understand a lot of it for yourself, which I also saw in some of the reviews, hopefully they will improve it.
