Flow - Focus & Pomodoro Timer 4+

Slightly glitchy, yet productive.

My only complaint is that it has got glitchy from a week, though it worked flawlessly prior to that. Wish that this’ll be fixed.

Update: The functionality has dipped further for some reason. Like: the timer either stops abruptly after starting it or doesn’t run at all sometimes, the live counter on lock screen doesn’t get updated or then gets duplicated into a new one with a new timer, the sequence of a “flow” on the UI gets reversed..

Loved this app initially for how it looked and worked so elegantly, but it’s kinda starting to get annoying. Hope they restore it’s effectiveness soon. I mean ASAP!

Hi Anurag, thanks for your review! What exactly do you mean by 'glitchy'? We've been experiencing some issues with iOS 17, so please be sure to update to our latest version and install iOS 17.0.3. If that doesn't fix the problem, please contact us at [email protected].

Edit: Please contact us at [email protected], so we can take a closer look at the issues! We haven't been able to reproduce it on our end so far. Are you referring to the Live Activities only? Is your iPhone connected to the internet while using the Live Activity? The way Apple allows the app to communicate with a Live Activity when the app is in the background is via so-called "push notifications", which requires Flow to have access to the internet, so if your device isn't connected to the internet while using the Live Activity, this can lead to the described issues.

Game Changer!

This is one of the best productivity apps I am saying this because it has so many features like you can customise break time, avoid notifications in order to prevent distractions, create your own times blocks and stay focused during that period of time and then it automatically rewards you with a break and you also have inspirational quotes which pop up at the time of break and it also has option known as statistics which would tell you about your stats weekly,monthly and yearly.

Great Productivity App

I have been using a Mac version of this app for over a year now. First the free version and later the premuim version. I've managed to increase my productivity significantly using this app. I need a distraction free sprint everyday and using this app I am able to make the best of my time.

My only request to the developers would to be increase the longest flow duration from the current 90 minutes. Under 'custom' flow durations we should have the option of setting the flow durations longer than just 90 minutes. I am a writer and I like my flow session to be three hours long each and a break after that.

I'd recommend this app instantly for anyone who is looking to better manage their time.

Hi Hemanth, thank you so much for sharing your kind feedback! We're happy to hear that Flow has helped increase your productivity.

Even longer sessions than 90 minutes would contradict the idea of the Pomodoro Technique on which Flow is based. However, we like the idea of giving the user even more customization options, but without deviating too much from the Pomodoro technique. That's why this feature is on our list for the future. Thanks for letting us know you'd be interested in that.
