I like that you can choose how long to work and how long to break. 25, 5 is too restrictive for me. I also like how it pauses and waits for you to start the next phase. 10/27/21. Wow, I can't believe I've been using Engross for well over two years now. It's still just as good as ever. I learned how to fine tune the time spent concentrating. The 5 minute increment choices can be adjusted with the revise before or after, and the 5 minute break can be adjusted also. I highly recommend this app.

Ads were very intrusive. Couldn't work out the UI. I was really hoping it would be nice and easy to use but it wasn't at. Not sure whether I was able to do what i wanted to do, since there wasn't an option. Decided to delete because I couldnt imagine using it with adds and I didnt want to have to work everything out. I recommend to the developers that you have a day free trial with no ads, so that users can get that full experience and see if theyre missing on anything. Dissapointed, but I dont doubt that it can help others. Try it and you'll see.

We are really sorry for this. We understand that ads can be troubling, therefore we show only banner ads which are least intrusive of all & we do not show any ads while you are working. Trust me, your work time will never be interrupted by ads. If you have any confusions with UI, please feel free to write to us at [email protected].

It would be of great help if in the history we could categorise it by day, to see also how many hours I've studied each day... to be able to compare it in general, not only each session of study. Also if it was possible to add how much time I've been distracted: for example it happens that when I realise that I've been day dreaming it has past like 7min, it's not the same 3 distractions of 7min with the 8 distractions of 30", doesn't let me calculate my net hours of study at the end of the day.
