About this app

If your thinking to get this app for any reason, go ahead. It’s a great app. There are flaws though. I got the app and it was working perfectly, no ads, no bugs, it was great. Nothing is too wrong with it, but I really wish I could change how long I look 20 feet away. I believe 20 seconds is too short and I would want to change it too 40. Idk if I’m just dumb and you can already do this, but I looked around the app and couldn’t find it. I did see that you can pay to adjust the 20 minutes, but no how many seconds. That’s pretty much it, other than that, get the app!

Almost Awesome

(1) Update 2.5 supposedly added a vibrate event at end of 20 seconds of looking away. This doesn’t seem to be working. Could this be fixed, and could an alert tone play as well? Ideally, I’d love to see 2 switches on the settings pane for the end of the 20 seconds: a switch for vibrate and a switch for alert tone. That way, a user could select vibrate, or alert sound, or both, or none. For all alerts: it would be really neat if we could choose the sound that plays.

(2) Update 2.6 says “made it easier for you to give feedback”. I thought this meant a way to give feedback from within the app - if so, I couldn’t find it. The only way to give feedback seems to be by writing this review.

Other than that this app is super helpful and I truly appreciate what you’ve done!!! 😀

Developer Response ,

Thank you for your feedback, James.

1) We love this idea. We will implement it in our future version.

2) We will make sure the feedback screen is always there. For now, it appears after you have used it for some time.

Thank you for your feedback.

Bad execution of good idea

It’s hard to complain about free apps, but this app is pretty much useless. It’s basically just a 20-minute timer that resets itself. Only fractionally better than setting the timer on the clock app. So, it still runs even if you’re not using your phone. Which also means that it might tell you to take a break even if you’ve only been using your phone for two minutes. And, it’s constantly telling you to take a break even if your phone is lying on the table. For something like this to be useful, it should only run the timer when the phone is in your hands. Also, as another reviewer mentioned, it doesn’t tell you when the 20 second break is up. And, you either have to manually start the app or set it to run during certain hours. There should be an option for it to run all the time (but, again, only if it were to run only when the phone was actually being used). Great idea, but pretty useless in reality.

Hi Everett,

Thank you for your feedback. It is greatly appreciated.

I think you did not see our settings section as we have made the changes you are looking for.

1. You can have it running all the time. If you don't stop it manually it will keep running.

2. We also have a timer that tells you when your 20 seconds are over.

3. The reason we run it even when it is lying on table is because it is natural for us to get lost in work and forget about our eyes. This reminder will help you take a break every 20 minutes.

I hope that helps. Thank you.
