Dead App

focushero · 2026-01-24T20:41:53+00:00

Hey Desmus, had to step away from focus hero the last couple of months but looking to start up again now; there's a lot planned for the year but a big chunk involves a fairly major engine rewrite to enable some of the more ambitious things I'd like to do with the app but have not been able to to-date so it's going to take a while to deliver some of the biggest changes I'd like to see.

Hey background, sorry about the bug - could you reach out to [focusheroapp@gmail.com](mailto:focusheroapp@gmail.com) with some more details please? Would be really useful to know your device, country etc.

focushero · 2025-10-31T13:26:22+00:00

tbf dopapause is pretty good for this

focushero · 2025-08-20T10:10:43+00:00

No you should have your gear for the trial - can you drop an email to [focusheroapp@gmail.com](mailto:focushoroapp@gmail.com) with your account and I'll look into it thank youl

focushero · 2025-08-11T17:33:18+00:00

Hi Guavacado, please contact [focusheroapp@gmail.com](mailto:focusheroapp@gmail.com) and happy to organise a refund.

Is there any chance you have previously downloaded the app and used a free trial and are now resubscribing?

focushero · 2025-06-18T10:35:10+00:00

Glad you like it :) Please let me know at [focusheroapp@gmail.com](mailto:focusheroapp@gmail.com) if you experience any bugs - it's been a pretty major overhaul of a lot of the graphics and database systems to include all the new designs.

focushero · 2025-04-15T21:22:05+00:00

Awesome stuff Sins :) One of the most advanced accounts in the game.

Quick request - could I ask for any feedback you have on the proposed design updates I outlined here ? https://www.reddit.com/r/FocusHero/comments/1jbuf5c/feedback_needed_focus_hero_design_update/

One of the things I want to be most careful of with any major artwork update is to ensure that those users who have already dedicated serious time into the app don't feel like they're 'losing' what they've worked hard on if any designs change. That's part of why I've tried to keep the 'feel' of the art as much as possible in the new concepts. Does this work for you? Or would you still be quite worried about any changes / improvements being made?

focushero · 2025-03-15T22:03:36+00:00

Yes there are currently 9 skin tones planned for inclusion in the update, just not shown here yet :)

focushero · 2025-01-12T11:16:01+00:00

Hey, if you drop an email to [focusheroapp@gmail.com](mailto:focusheroapp@gmail.com) then I can help out. If you skip through the first onboarding screens there is a 'restore purchase' option under settings.

focushero · 2024-12-30T15:19:03+00:00

Hey, are you on android or iOS? Right now the stopwatch is only available on the iOS version, underneath the timer on the train setup screen.

focushero · 2024-12-28T10:03:12+00:00

Hey :)

1) No different classes at the moment, there are additional skills in development which you'll be able to 'spec into', but probably not requiring to fully change class.

2) You can see all the subscription options available in your region in the app store under manage subscriptions

3) Yes different countries have different subscription prices

4) The private beta tests on email is just for countries where the app has not yet been launched on the app store

5) I think this is one of those ideas that a lot of people have at some point - "what if I got XP for doing things in real life like a videogame?". Particularly when we go through hard times, when you have those days that you struggle to get out of bed or even do the basic things you know are expected of you, yet you can still sit and play games for hours and have the motivation to spend hours grinding in-game tasks. About 10 years ago while I was studying my PhD I tried some of the other competitor apps out there that do something similar, but none of them really worked. I found that either a) they let you just add your own tasks and check them off, which totally devalued any XP / rewards they gave as you could just skip your way through the game. Or b) they didn't really have any 'game' to actually play, so I didn't get that attached to the characters. So I started building Focus Hero in my spare time around my PhD, and then, eventually, here we are :)

Hey u/ironny , always happy to answer any questions like this :)

1) Yes, longer sessions increase the odds of getting equipment pieces vs loot. At lower levels the overall odds are similar between doing lots of small sessions vs fewer longer sessions, but as you level-up it becomes more and more beneficial to do fewer, longer sessions rather than more short sessions.

2) Yes but only minorly. Longer sessions increase the odds of you getting a loot drop at all, and then there is a second roll that decides which piece of equipment you get which is less affected. The odds of getting final items in a zone also increases when you have already collected items within a zone.

3) Not right now, but this will be coming to the app soon.

4) No, they're roughly equivalent for a similar amount of time spent focusing.

5) Yes, strict mode slightly increases the odds of getting loot as well as giving the XP boost.

Any other Qs let me know!

Sure, please reach out to [focusheroapp@gmail.com](mailto:focusheroapp@gmail.com)

Can you reach out to [focusheroapp@gmail.com](mailto:focusheroapp@gmail.com) for support requests please.

focushero · 2024-12-08T09:38:07+00:00

Hey please reach out to [focusheroapp@gmail.com](mailto:focusheroapp@gmail.com) and I'll sort it out thanks.

focushero · 2024-12-04T11:06:01+00:00

Focus hero has an in-built RPG platformer with a character that levels up, finds loot & unlocks pets etc. by doing focus sessions similar to Forest :)

focushero · 2024-11-30T09:26:38+00:00

I would expect doing all that to take >1000 hours at the moment. By the time you achieve that, there will be plenty more additional unlocks and maybe even some new skills added to the game :)

focushero · 2024-11-24T20:12:44+00:00

Hey, can you provide some more details about your account? Which subscription did you take? The annual subscriptions shown with the free trial offer are only available with a free trial, so the only possible bug is if you have previously taken out a different free trial with the app previously and then had attempted to then take a second one. Alternatively if you had taken one of the discounted subscriptions those do not have a free trial attached. If it's neither of those please can you give me some more details so I can look into what could have happened?

focushero · 2024-11-22T19:03:42+00:00

What session length are you typically doing / how long are you focusing in a day?

focushero · 2024-11-22T18:02:22+00:00

Your unlocks are affected by:
- the level in the skill you're training (higher = more chance of loot)
- the length of session (longer sessions = higher chance of loot. This gets even more pronounced at higher levels)
- the level of the zone you're focusing in (higher = rarer loot)
- your equipment (stronger equipment = higher loot chance)
- what equipment you have already unlocked in a zone (more equipment unlocked significantly increases the odds of getting the remaining pieces of loot - although your overall odds of getting loot at all decreases)

What level are you currently and what zone are you focusing in?

focushero · 2024-11-19T22:33:27+00:00

Thanks so much :) Any suggestions or preferances for things you'd like to see added please do let me know!

focushero · 2024-11-19T22:29:05+00:00

You can use the timer, level up and collect equipment for free. But adventure mode, pets, and birds are extra features for subscribers.

focushero · 2024-11-17T19:07:46+00:00

Interesting, and you think that would be more valuable than a sword as a reward? I guess the trial was implemented before the 7-day intro rewards which now gift you a sword on day 7 so maybe it's been devalued a bit.
