Beautiful App! Needs iPad version. This app is the most pleasant encouraging pomodoro timer! The simple bear graphics and white noise feature have really kept me focused (except from the temptation to write enthusiastic app reviews). Would love to see an iPad version!

simple, easy to use, & effective. my guy i just bought this app on a whim because i only had a dollar left on my account after buying music on itunes but it was so worth the money. i'm a high school student with very severe add & i just got an over 5,000 word essay done because my boy tom helped me focus. but fr i love that it makes it so easy to follow the pomodoro method for work efficiency; it already has the timers defaultly set to sessions of working for 25 mins at a time, short 5 minute breaks, & long 20 minute breaks - THE TIMES ARE CUSTOMIZABLE THOUGH so if the default settings don't work for you, you can change them of course. but they hella work for me. the white noise (storm sounds, campfire sounds, & a few more) being /built into/ the app is also very convenient. 🔥🔥👌🏽👌🏽 not to mention the art is mad cute, & for those who like collecting, the app lets you collect different types of reward cards with different art & it just makes me feel warm & fuzzy inside man. i worked for 4 hours (w/ breaks included) but it went by so fast & i feel hella good & proud of myself for being able to finish that paper. it's really worth more than a dollar man like this'll have me efficiently working w/out getting distracted for life; if i had to choose between buying this app & buying a chocolate bar i'd gladly choose this app. because you know what they say, if you buy a person a fish that fish will last for one night but if you teach them how to fish, that's a skill they can use for life and they can have dinner every night. i digress, but my point is this app is more useful than a $1 chocolate bar so if you also have add or don't but need help focusing i would highly recommend buying it. 🙏🏽🌟🐻🎣

It does a little job extremely well.. This little app doesn’t do much, but what it does do, it does exceedingly and charmingly well. It has dramatically increased my focus and productivity, and with the built-in rest breaks, it has even improved my health, I believe, by making me get up from my desk at regular intervals and walk around for five or 10 minutes. If you are looking for a simple, effective timer app to help you focus on your work, then I highly recommend BFT.

Almost Perfect. I really like the app. It’s cute and works well. However, it’s a bit overpriced for the amount of features it has. It would be better if it had more information between focus sessions (like how many times you pick up your phone during sessions, how much time you spend focusing, charts, and trends).

Great App!!. I love this app. I use it daily at work it helps stay focus. Well done!

Excellent but needs dark mode support. Wonderful app but in dark mode the text in settings disappears. Also, I would like for the option to automatically turn on do not disturb during a session and then for it to turn off after a session. Overall, very cute and lovely.

Love this app. I absolutely love this app! I use it daily at work it helps stay focus and not get distracted.

It’s useful but glitchy for a paid app. I know $2 isn’t a lot, but for an app to cost money that does nothing but set a timer and make sounds, why does the app freeze and glitch so often? I have an iPhone sr (2020 edition) so it might just be outdated. However, for such a simple app is it possible to make it compatible for all devices and lag free? When ever I open the settings of the app and try to change the white noise, sometimes it glitches and the app freezes and the sounds don’t change when you tap it. Then maybe 10 seconds later it would change and freeze again. Eventually the app just crashes and I have to start over all my sessions. I like the app other than the glitches, but it really ruins my work flow and misses the whole point of this app. I’d also like there to be more features if possible. After many sessions with this app, the sounds just get old and mundane. If the creators can add anything new that would be nice.

Friendly and functional. Love the graphics. The app is easy to use and does what it says. Picking up your phone when you wanted to work? You’ll be greeted by a lovable bear and a pause in sound reminding you to put your phone back down.

A ~Beary~ Good Focus Timer. That pun was probably made on here but, puns aside, I really do think this is an excellent study tool. It’s really useful for homework in general, but I find it especially great for studying finals or doing a lot of school-related reading. I like how it has both short and long break periods, and how you can adjust them, as well as how you can choose the ambient sound, great for if you’re working somewhere noisy.

Cute. Simple and effective. Would be cuter if the bear growled a little if you flipped before time was up!

Fantastic!. Great Pomodoro style timer. My only request would be to have it connect to Apple health’s mindful minutes so I could track the amount of time I use it/study.

It’s fun but lacking. This is a fun game... but idk if it’s worth a dollar here’s why: Pros: Simple No ads Ok cute graphics Love the compliments Cons: I wish there was something to do on the game when it’s break time. Maybe play a mini game or show a bear comic? Make it simple yet fun. I wish it had more features that made it a timer to use side by side forest. Still a good app though. Lots of potential

Adorable disguise of the Pomodoro method. This app is great! Very approachable and fun to use which is important when it comes to actually making yourself use focus apps.

Simple! Simple! And cute!!. What a simple app again from this developer! I like their concepts. Simple and convenient app again. Strongly recommend this app to writers, students, readers and any one who need to be concentrated.

Great!. Helps me with work, and surprisingly with meditation, too. Thank you for this app!!

Timer Notifications on Apple Watch Not Reliable. Would you use a timer that only sometimes rings when time is up? That is this app for the Apple Watch. It is simple and cute, but also unreliable. The vibration / audio chime / pop up notification work maybe 50% of the time when sessions are up. The other times I find myself looking at my watch realizing an extra 5 to 10 minutes has passed after the session technically ended. It even happens when I’m stating directly at the app watching the counter go to 0. Sometimes a chime / notification, sometimes nothing. For this being the core function of a paid app, please make this more reliable.

Bear Down with the BFT. Great app! Enjoyable function, art and sound. -1 Star because many of us have to work USING our phones. I’d like two options to toggle that, one in the settings, and the second by tapping on the screen - perhaps on the snout - to let bear know I’m working and to remind me to bear down with pomodoro skills. I work using my phone and this always pauses the timer which is a bugabear (I set the timer for shorter intervals to compensate). I’d also second the comments about adding reports, AND add a suggestion to include an inverted color scheme or night mode!

Worth Your Money. As someone who struggles with ADHD, sitting down and studying for more than 30 minutes was equivalent to seeing a double rainbow; it was always a struggle to actually COMPLETE my studies. I paid for Bear Friendly Timer and for the first time in my life, studied for probably six hours!It was a miracle!!!! My mom was impressed and got the app too, and she uses it frequently as well. Also, I am simply a huge sucker for well designed and cute apps, so naturally I am pleased with this one!

It’s great!. I love this app too keep me focused. However ever since the update I had on my iPhone the settings and break timer go blank?? If there is any way to fix it that would be great !

Great when it works. I downloaded this app a while back and since I’ve started working from home I’ve started using it again. It’s an amazing little app with beautiful illustrations but about 50% of the time the timer won’t start when I flip my phone over. It’s really frustrating because there is no option to start the timer manually, meaning I may flip my phone over and not realize it hasn’t been started until I check it 30 minutes later. It can’t be such a difficult fix and the fact that it hasn’t been fixed in the 3 weeks that I’ve been WFH, makes me wonder whether the developer spends any time on this app anymore.

Fun gimmick that hampers usability. Requiring the phone to be facedown on the desk to start the timer is a fun gimmick, but for those of us who keep their phone charging on a stand or who don’t like their phones fragile face touching a hard desk, it makes the app needlessly difficult to use.

Missing something?. Either I’m not understanding how to access the options or this doesn’t work. I can change the potential time settings but unable to get the short or long break options. Only Focus works on this app in my phone?

It helps keep my focus. As soon as I pick up the phone the timer stops I also like that the timer doesn’t start until you put the phone down

Trouble starting the timer. I want to give this app a great review, because when it works, it works well! The bear is so cute and the noises are great! But most of the time I cannot get the timer to start when I turn over my phone. I’ve checked my phone’s motion sensitivity, and it works fine. Since turning over your phone is the only way to start the timer, it basically does not work at all. I think an option to start the timer by putting your phone to sleep with the buttons would work well as a different approach.

My first review ever. I rarely review apps, but BFT’s so good that I feel I have to tell people about it. Other Pomodoro apps are too bloated with features and cumbersome to get going. This one’s simple. This one will make you productive. And this one’s a winner.

I like this app but ... I wish you could add a widget for iOS 14 that I could just use as the app itself

Simple, stress free timer. I have tried several different focus timers and ended up using this app the most consistently. I like the bear, compliments, and white noise options, and find this app less stressful than the timers with gamification and negative consequences such as killing my digital plant. However, I would like a more functional iPad version. I also would like a widget for the iPhone, so you could use bft with another app. (& maybe an option to set permissions for certain apps allowed to be used with the timer widget going)

Missing a few features.... This is nice and clean but I’d like to see a few more features that Focus Keeper has though it could remain cleaner and just incorporate a few. I love the white noise feature in this though. I’d pay for an in-app purchase to add charts and a few more settings customizations. Also, needs sync and customized long break. This is the first time I think I’ve thought that an app is priced lower than it should be. By the way, I am in LOVE with the update and the added coffee grinder noise. Thank you for this app!

There seems to be a huge bug!. I thought the illustrations were adorable and loved the concept, but it doesn’t work! I just downloaded it today and if I don’t mess with any of the settings, the app works like a charm. If I adjust the timer, I can’t start the timer, which makes the app useless. I’ve deleted the app multiple times now and every time I keep the default settings, it works. But as soon as it changes, it stops working. Please fix! I’d love to give this app a try.

Great App!. I love this app it has really helped me focus more and study for class for longer. It is simple and clean, the white noise is great too but also I like how you can turn it off when studying in quite spaces and still know the time is up with the flashing light. Perfect app for my needs, never change

Minimalist alternative to forest. BFT has become my favorite minimalist alternative to forest! I love the ambient music / white noise. The fact that it forces me to put my phone face down for it to start and the flashlight notification is a great way to keep me focused. I’d like to see some type of gamification rewards in a future update 👍🏼

App does not work. This app looks super awesome and I love the premise of its purpose, especially as a student, however I cannot seem to be able to start the timer, even after I turn my phone over? I do have an iPhone XR, so maybe it’s just the build for this iPhone? I’m not sure, but I will change my rating as soon as I am contacted and helped with this situation.

Great app. Fantastic app but I would love if you added an option to configure the timer(more than 25 min). I generally time myself when I take practice tests for SAT, which are a lot longer than 25 min. I love the idea of forcing myself to not be distracted.

No way to watch timer. All I wanted was a simple, cute timer. No ads and no need for to do lists, statistics, calendars… just a simple pomodoro. So glad to have found one! However, I like being able to see my timer. I wish there was a way to set the timer without having to turn the phone over.

Simple app for helping me focus. Just wish there was a complication I could add to my watch face to open the app. Also, I notice that after a while my Apple Watch will return to the watch face screen after the screen turns off. I wish it would stay on the bft app screen with the timer.

Apple Watch app is broken. Would easily give this 5 stars if the Apple Watch notifications worked :/ (sync between the iPhone and Apple Watch would be a nice bonus too)

Great app but currently bugs. I love this app but recently all the controls (duration of work and breaks etc) have vanished making it much harder to adjust and use. Hope they fix it soon bc I love it!

Perfect. This app is perfect - everything you need, nothing you don’t. Also, it’s imagery is adorable. Well done!!

No Manually Start/Stop. Apple Watch App Subpar. Only feature it needs. Love the app otherwise. Manual start/stop would allow you to use the Pomodoro when doing from your phone (I use Anki to study from my phone quite often) The Apple Watch is pretty bad. No local notifications when the timer goes off. On works if you have your Watch “On screen wake show last app” setting set to “Always”... mine is set to “within 2 minutes of last use” so the app never stays on the foreground and you never get notified when the timer is up with a notification. Also the small complication found on the module watch face is broken. Just shows a white square. One suggestion. Add a dark mode by just inverting your black and white images. I screenshoted the app and edited the image mused in Pixelmator and it looks good with simple inverted images.

Simplistic but one option I’ll like to see. I love how simplistic and cute this app is with the sound effects and the story of the bear 😂 but is it possible to have a chart or some sort of data specifying how many sessions I did in a certain date/day. Like a chart of all the dates that I focused . I love the cute pictures after because it’s like a reward system of encouragement but it is rewarding for me to see a data chart of my improvement of focusing 🧘🏾‍♀️ Thank you

Very useful timer!. I use this timer to help me stay focused while doing school work. The white noise is perfect and greatly boosts my concentration. I really like how simple and user-friendly the interface is, plus the option to customize the length of focus sessions/breaks.

So impressed. I love apps that break thru extremely dense markets with simple innovation! So good, I’ve used all the top pomodoros apps and loved this app almost immediately! Nice job dev! Is this Unity? Very cool!

Settings Not showing. After updating to iOS 13, the contents in settings all turned blank and I cannot modify settings. Please check and fix it. Thanks!

Not functional?. Looked cute. Bought it. Followed the instructions, but didn’t get any kind of notification when the timer was up.

Helpful and easy to use. Need to buckle down and get to work - get this app! Easy steps: select how long you need to “focus,” set your phone face down & white noise begins. Turn over your phone before the timer goes off and a cranky cartoon bear pops up reminding you to get back to work. This app has helped me immensely!

Simple yet effective. The interface is super simple and easy to use, and that is what makes this app an incredibly effective focus tool. It doesn’t give you annoying reminders if you interrupt your focus session, Bear simply scowls at you. It is super nice that you can set different sounds to play when the timer is up. I also like that it isn’t a traditional circular timer for the screen. Instead, Bear makes you want to complete your study sessions so that he is happy. I absolutely love this app, and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a simple, easy, and effective app for helping them stay on task.

No growling?. I like this timer and its friendly interface. But I had heard that the BFT would growl at me if I turned the phone over too soon, and that is what motivated me to try it out. Why doesn’t Tom growl? He is a bear, right? Please add bear growls.

I love it, just makes me sad sometimes. Okay I love this app cause it calms me down whenever I'm stressed, but anytime I have to check my phone for the time or I get a call or something, the bear gives me a look like he's mad at me! I feel bad cause I don't want the bear to be upset at me! I just need to check something, bear! I'm sorry!!

Almost perfect..... If they had a coffee shop white noise, THEN I could see myself using it all the time. For this reason, I’m sticking to a diff app.

Doesn’t work for me. Whenever I turn my phone over, it doesn’t start the timer. It only works on Apple Watch. Do you know how to fix it? I have an iPhone 8, is that why?

Excellent while working from home. In a working from home environment, the distractions are real and everywhere. There’s terrible news, dishes, ironing, Netflix. A frown from a humble bear is all is takes to discourage. It’s allowance of small breaks is great to keep you on board. I’m very happy I installed this, thank you!

Timer does not count down. So I bought this straight away cause I love bears and timers, unfortunately the timer doesn’t count down if your screen isn’t on, what a waste of battery power! Would like a refund.

Best app ever. I bought this app trying to find the perfect focused app for me and I looked for ages and I couldn’t find one then this one came up and I’m so glad I brought it because it has kept me focused when studying and I have not been tempted to do something else.

Hallelujah. Pressed buy immediately, this is the cutest productivity app ever. It's makes my inner child feels so happy and refreshing. Though, it would be nice if there is a history tab to keep track of previous completed session.

I can’t upset the bear. Perfect combination of cute illustrations, functionality and ease of use. The encouragements at the end of every sessions make my day.

Sound does not work after break. Nice dedicated app for pomodoros. However, it doesn't make any sound after my break periods end. Its not my sound settings because the sound works fine at the end of the work period. Can this be fixed? I find the look and simple features such as water and wind for white noise, and having to turn phone face down, very calming.

Fix bugs please. I found a bug in the app where the pull down menus don’t properly dismiss, even though the view does. To properly dismiss break time and settings you can’t use pull down. Fix please.

Great pomodoro app. Great at what it does. I hope to see a daily/weekly/monthly stats dashboard. Would be great to see at a glance how much time I’ve spent studying.

Cute and helpful. Lots of personality. I love the app. Really glad I bought it.

hi bear! Look here~. Hope all is well! Surprisingly I found this app by being attracted by the grizzly icon. Quick question: How can I check the compliment cards collected? It’s better to have a calendar! So the user is able to check daily achievements! Hope to hear from you. Many thanks, Love BFT

Simple and beautiful 😍. This app does the job. Helps you focus without distracting you with fancy colors. I like to think that I’m avoiding getting the bear angry. I love it!

Incroyable!. J’adore! Je peux rester concentrée durant des heures grâce à cette application! Merci!!!

Good but..... It pretty funny and the timer is great, but the only problem is that it turns off if your tablet or other device turns off and doesn't keep going

Seriously delightful. Based on the pomodoro technique. It’s a simple and charming app that helps schedule focus time plus break time. The UI is easy to navigate and the options are easy to select. I’m eager to see what other apps come from this developer. I literally chuckled when my lack of focus prompted a frowning bear!

This is a lifesaver!!!. I don’t know why I don’t use it more often! I get so focused and into my work! It saved my life more often than you would think… :)

Doesn’t work. I turn my phone over and nothing happens. The timer doesn’t move, the bear doesn’t react and the sound doesn’t come on.

Just a few suggestions!. Love the app so far! - Just hoping you could add a notification for when the 5 min break ends (I have sound on and my phone is not on vibrate/do not disturb) - as well as the ability to silence all notifications during a focus timer (25 mins or whatever), and un-silence them during breaks Other than that this would be the perfect focus timer ever. Period.

Needs iPad and Mac app. Needs iPad and Mac app

A little suggestion. Everything is good, but if I can see the card that I already have and how many that I haven’t had that can encourage me to do more.

Very Good Pomodoro Timer for when studying gets tough. Day to day, utilization of the app has helped me to achieve long periods of studying. With the additional sound sound feature, I have the ability to turn it on if I’m in the mood for white noise; it’s a nice touch. Added with the compliment cards, returning to studying has never been more rewarding short term wise. Personally, I can see my self utilizing this app in the future in the current state of it it. In the future, I hope to see continuous growth in terms of software for the app. But as it is now, it’s all I need.

More ecosystems please. It will be cool to use BFT in Apple Watch and macOS

Good. Very cool

App doesn’t work. Doesn’t work at all when I flip my phone.

Best pomodoro timer ever. I’ve been using all kinds of pomodoro app, and this is the best.

No white noise when start on Watch. As title T.T

Not working on ipad !!!. No changes in bears expressions on any situation. No sign of movement !!! My screen goes off a few minutes later, so does the bft timer.Also if I switch to other apps timer goes off. make the app working for iPad.

wonderful!!. this is a really great app that combines productive guidance with a little doodly bear!

Love it. This also functions as a nice meditation timer

Phone Turn Not Working. I turned the phone as intended and timer did not start. Whoever designed this app needs to relearn UIUX all again. Ridiculous purchase! Cannot believe Apple actually promoted this app! What a total scam...

Not functional?. Looked cute. Bought it. Followed the instructions, but didn’t get any kind of notification when the timer was up.

Very cute. I’d give it 5 stars if it could work even outside the app. I usually play stuff from youtube but the timer stops when I go out the app.
