Dodgy Subscription Signup, not good enough
Ivanapinyon
Sorry guys, this is not cool. I will adjust this review if you bother to change this behaviour.1. There is no notice, no information, nothing about your switch to subscription.2. No information for existing users 3. No information about pricing when starting the app, and so on.4. No information on pricing in the app itselfThe app blindsides the user, giving you no option but to engage the ‘Pro’ subscription. It does not adequately explain what is happening. This amounts to automatically enrolling a user, which is blatantly against the terms and conditions of the App Store. Whether you are or not, it looks like you are hiding the pricing. Whether you are or not, it looks like you are treating users as if they are stupid.Having been a happy user of this app for a couple of years, I would have been happy to evaluate the subscription on its merits. Because I had to go out of my way to look into the pricing, which is not even obvious on the website. it now looks way overpriced. $4 a month is comparable to some premium apps. But as I say, if I had not been blind-sided by the automatic subscription I might have been inclined to look at it differently. I don’t begrudge developers like yourselves the means to support yourselves and develop your app. Just don’t treat users like idiots and you might get more support. Please think about sorting out your welcome process, make the pricing obvious and clear.

We're still waiting for your update ;-) //Original response: Hi, Thanks for this review and sorry that you feel misinformed about our new Pro subscription. Let me answer point by point, so there is no confusion: 1. We informed our users over Twitter and our Newsletter about the upcoming move to subscription in advance. 2. We have a detailed explanation on our website for what happens when you're an existing customers (www.masterbuilders.io/support -> Note to existing customers). 3. & 4. You can see the pricing within the App when you go to Settings > Subscription or when you tap/click on a Pro button somewhere. A Store view should open where every subscription option is listed with it's price, the subscription duration and the duration of the free trial. No one is enrolled automatically (and we wouldn't even if it were technically possible). If you have questions, please get in touch and I will be happy to walk you through the new features and answer all your questions: hello@masterbuilders.io Thanks, - Jan
Great design, bad syncing
Jeradactyl
This is exactly what I was looking for in a productivity pomodoro timer. The way it is designed is elegant, attractive, and easy to use. Unfortunately the syncing between the Apple Watch and iPhone has been incredibly frustrating and I’m hoping this can be improved.

Would not let me use the timer unless I signed up for premium subscription. Just a waste of time to download it.

Hi, yes, Focus is not a free timer app, but requires a subscription.A quick question to help others to find the right app: why did you expect the timer functionality to be free? I would really appreciate if you could send me a quick response via support@meaningful-things.com !Thank you in advance!- Best wishes,Kerstin
