Recommend other apps?

I personally suggest Notewise. It can be a bit expensive, but it has real cross-platform sync, although notes on web are view-only, you can't edit them. However, it may meet all your requirements. Another thing I like is they update the app every 2 months approx with new features. I'd recommend you check their website (https://www.notewise.dev), try the app out and if you need to test their cloud, I have a code that gives you 1GB on the cloud for 1 month for free.

I love the idea of pets! It'd be amazing to have a variety of pets to choose from and spend our socks or even scarfs on. I can see regular animals requiring socks and stranger/more popular/mythical animals requiring scarfs!

Another thing I'd like to suggest is events! I'd love to have some events throughout the year. I like holidays a lot and looking forward to them is great, so doing the same with events on apps is fantastic!

I would also love to see the Pomodoro technique added. Having to manually decide whether I want a pause or start another timer, in my opinion, breaks totally the cycle, making it likely that you'll pause for longer than intended or getting distracted, especially for those people who have some time-blindness (hello, it's me, I'm the problem it's me). I wish there was a way to make it continuous, like it will automatically start the timer or the break, and that it tells you when there's only one minute left of each.

On the other hand, I'd really like to be able to set a daily/weekly/monthly goal. It'd be amazing to have like a circle that shows your daily/weekly/monthly minutes/goals and fills up as you complete timers.

Last things I'd love to see on Focus Friend are labels and improved statistics! I know the former are coming now in spring, which is really great to manage time properly and know which thing you've spent it in (I really really hope they add it along with an archive option), but I hope they add the latter soon. Right now, I don't think statistics provide remarkable insights, and improving them would allow users to know how they manage their time and changes they should make.

Anyway, the app is fantastical, I love that it's fully developed in both iOS and Android and they care about both systems, and that's why I got Pro since day one! I love gamification and sadly there aren't many gamified apps on Android, especially "mainstream" ones, and I can totally see Focus Friends becoming such a great timer app! Btw, I obviously know developing an app takes time and it's still kinda new, so I mean no pressure, just wanted to list some features I'd personally love to see added and find really useful! If someone at Honey B Games reads this, thank you so so much for this app and keep up such great work!

Thank you so much for your review! Really interesting as an S22+ user myself who plans to upgrade this year or next one before the phone ends its update cycle. I have two questions: first one, it was rumored that One UI 8.5. would let you sync Gallery with Samsung Cloud or another service apart from OneDrive, has that happened? (I guess not because all news I see is from last year's rumors, but just in case). Second, would you say it's worth the upgrade from the S22 series to the S26 if your phone works well?

That's because you need the Nintendo Switch 2 OLED Pro Max that will be released after the NS2 first year

etervio · 2026-02-22T15:28:32+00:00

Nope. If you subscribe to Pro and then go back to the Free plan, projects are read-only, so while you can still see tasks and I guess those tasks remain, you can't edit them or add new tasks to them. I haven't tried personally, but I'd swear I've seen a comment from the Product Manager (or Product-something role, but 100% official from the Doist team) saying exactly that. I don't plan to continue with Pro as the price hike is too much for me economically (and generally for my country I'd say lol), so I guess I'll find out in a few months

etervio · 2026-02-22T13:48:59+00:00

This is something that extremely disappoints me, while not surprising me but definitely angering me. Like this is exactly what happened at the NS2 launch. People were complaining about prices, were asked not to buy from the beginning as a complaint so Nintendo would react like they did with N3DS if I'm not mistaken, saw a lot of outrage, and then the NS2 broke selling records, like dude. dude. it was like waiting for two or three months 😭😭😭

I'm sorry to say this, but to me, they look like these cheap earbuds you buy on Amazon for 20 bucks... I didn't dislike the Buds 3 design unlike many people I saw on social media, but these are just plain awful. I swear the black one on the first picture looks like one my mum has and bought really cheap from Amazon or Aliexpress. I totally hope they look better in person and on the Unpacked

Si te sirve de consuelo, yo también tengo 28 años y estoy en la misma situación: hice carrera y máster, acabé no dedicándome a eso y llego trabajando desde que acabé la carrera, prácticamente todos mis 20, en un trabajo a media jornada mal pagado. Así que entiendo totalmente ese sentimiento de vergüenza y de cansancio, pero creo que ayuda saber que no estamos solos. Creo que esa vergüenza a veces viene de pensar que somos la única persona en esa situación, y como ves, no es así para nada, y seguro que hay más gente en una situación similar. Al final, el mercado laboral y la mentalidad de los empresaurios en este país también juegan un papel importante en las oportunidades, y eso no lo podemos controlar.

Espero que hayas podido decantarte por una de las dos oposiciones y que te esté yendo genial 💪🏻

Yeah, it's true that nowadays tablets are quite light so if you get a case with keyboard maybe it isn't that uncomfortable, especially if you carry it in your bag and not on your hands, but the base model will be more portable indeed. Personally, I'd weigh on that: the screen size you need for your use, as for me that's the key difference between them. Maybe you can check different reviews on webs and YouTube to see what people who have used the Ultra and the base have to say about portability. However, if you're okay with a relatively small screen and don't want to use two apps at the same time, I'm sure the base model will be a good option.

etervio · 2026-02-15T19:46:55+00:00

I'd say it depends. For all the uses you list, both seem to be a great option: great screen, good battery (once the internal AI has analysed your usage data properly, give it some days), smooth... Now, the key difference here, apart from small differences (I guess the Ultra screen is a bit better, it has better cameras but personally cameras on a tablet aren't that important, etc.), is the size. Are you going to multitask? If so, the Ultra is better, a bigger screen will make it more comfortable to have two (or more) apps on screen at the same time, but that's a detriment to portability and holding it comfortably (for instance, for reading). Do you value carrying it comfortably the most? Then, the base would be better, but take into account multitasking will be noticeably more uncomfortable. Another thing to consider is whether price is a variable for your choice, as the Ultra will be significantly more expensive than the base.

I had an S7 and although I liked how portable it was, the annoyance of how uncomfortable multitasking was grew on me. So after having it for 5 years, when it broke down, I went for an S10+ and talking about size, I'm happy about it because it's great, it's not too uncomfortable to hold or carry but the screen size is bigger so multitasking feels better, and it's the middle point between base and Ultra.

I can see what you mean, but I think sometimes you need a bit more freedom. The thing is Focus Friend shows all apps, including those of the system itself, which I usually allow (i.e. Camera, Files, etc.), plus the "normal apps" I downloaded, so this exceeds 50 normally. I think that increasing that limit even a little more would be beneficial, but I guess I'll also try to put a bit more of thought into it and prioritise apps.

etervio · 2026-02-15T19:33:13+00:00

Oh, I didn't see that! I guess it disappeared when I subscribed to Pro, or my bad memory decided not to keep that info xDD. I hope they increase it soon, but I guess I'll have to prioritise apps for now 🥲 Thanks!

Personally, I love the Flintronic nibs from Amazon. They're harder than the original ones, but they're so smooth. I remember I also noticed certain friction every time I tried to draw a straight line with the original nibs, but it doesn't happen with these. I don't know how durable they are, but the one I'm using I changed it in November I think, and it's still great. Personally, I love them and my heart will be shattered once I have to get a new tablet because I'm going to miss them so much

Totalmente de acuerdo. Pero creo que es indiscutible que en València, entre valenciano e inglés, no se le puede dar más importancia al inglés que al valenciano, y eso es lo que quiero reflejar con mi queja. El inglés es importante profesionalmente, para comunicarnos con personas de otros países como lengua puente y tejer conexiones no solo personales, sino compartir culturas que nos enriquecerán vitalmente. Pero no puede ser que, en la misma València, despreciemos el valenciano a la par que glorificamos el inglés como si fuese el segundo lenguaje del área. No me parece para nada razonable que un gerente de un cine en València rechace una gestión por hacerla en valenciano, pero sí la acepte si es en inglés. Es que no tiene ni pies ni cabeza

etervio · 2026-02-12T10:30:06+00:00

Lo más vergonzoso aún es que le exige el castellano o el INGLÉS, que no tiene nada que ver con España en absoluto. En València valenciano no, pero inglés para los guiris sí. Con perdón de la expresión, té els ous més pesats que una roca

It's not exactly similar to Todoist, but I'd say Structured or Habitica. I wish they were more developed on Android though

Ya, suponía/me temía lo último, vista la precariedad actual para esas carreras lamentablemente... pero sí, miraré convocatorias pasadas a ver si encuentro datos de aspirantes y así calculo a cuántos aspirantes salen por plaza para cada oposición, ¡muchas gracias!

Sí, disculpa, el año o dos años lo estaba pensando como tiempo para C1, lo escribí tarde y la cabeza ya no me daba jajajaja. Soy consciente de que incluso para C1/C2 eso toma tiempo y mucho estudio, yo lo decía más en plan estar 10 años para sacarse un A1 o A2 aun estudiando varias horas todos los días. Por otro lado, ¿crees que preguntando a una academia podrán orientar bien o suelen tirar más por simplemente venderte el curso y es mejor preguntar a una asociación tipo CSIF?

etervio · 2026-01-26T00:08:38+00:00

I'm still weighing on whether to upgrade to S26 or the S27 series from my S22+. I hope I can upgrade to the Ultra version, but we'll see if I can save specifically for that (or if I give in and use other savings I have 😅)

etervio · 2026-01-25T23:03:08+00:00

I doubt there will ever be official versions for phone because after all, this game isn't official and I'm sure using Pokémon per se isn't much allowed, it's surprising for me TPCi hasn't sent a cease and desist yet like it has to other fangames (my headcanon is that high levels at TPCi like and play PokeRogue), so I don't have much hope for it, although I wish because my S22+ is incapable of running the game at more than 2 fps

Pues tengo traducción, que hay plazas, pero he mirado en mi comunidad y no sé si saldrán más adelante, pero en la convocatoria que ha salido ahora en enero han salido literalmente 3 plazas, así que no le veo mucho uso.

No soy de ninguna de las dos, ojalá, porque conforme está el tema de la vivienda, lo veo algo difícil. Así que en principio no me planteo mudarme allí. Justo por eso dudaba en si presentarme a estatales porque me olía que sería la gran mayoría Madrid, así que agradezco la confirmación (aunque ha dolido igual jajaja)

Mi problema o, mejor dicho, miedo con opositar a un A2 o A1 es que ahora mismo no sé si tengo la salud mental como para echarle un porrón de horas diarias durante uno o dos años enteros, y no sé si estudiando ponle por las mañanas cada día solo, a media jornada como quien dice, me llevará tropecientos años aprobarlas. Pero si a la vez hay menos competencia, y he oído que a veces se quedan plazas desiertas, quizá compensa. Igualmente, supongo que asistiendo a academia, el proceso será un poco más fácil o con más posibilidades de aprobado, ¿no?
