FOCI

I was an original backer of the first Foci. It helped me not only see trends in my daily energy levels. It actually was part of the reason I was diagnosed with narcolepsy. It would show massive amounts of fatigue throughout my days but I didn’t “feel” tired. Little did I know my normal level of energy was similar the amount of energy a person has after a 24 hour shift of hard labor. I was so thankful for this being so important to my life I quickly backed the foci 2 as soon as I could! But now the app and device has gone down hill so much. I’ve sent so many requests for help that usually just get marked as solved without ever responding. Right now the app will not update your deep focus time unless you close the app completely and reopen it. It can be annoying when you just want to see how your day is going. My latest issue of my foci 2 not vibrating at all for any of the streaks I usually have 2, the focus slip and fatigue. This is a massive issue for me because the fatigue notifications helped track and warn of narcoleptic sleep attacks. I know it’s not designed for that purpose but it really helped me track it. I reached out through the app feedback on the 29th I’ve sent 3 messages adding info to the issue as I find out more and still have heard nothing back… I seriously love this device so much but it’s almost become unusable and it’s so upsetting.

My purple circles do not show any data when tapped, unlike the other colors which function properly on the daily focus circles screen. Also would love to see practical strategies when the different levels of approaches are suggested when encountering various loops. Like when it says check focus level 3 or whatever - would love a button that gives you a quick stands saying the practical advice we might find in the booklet - so if I am not with my booklet in that moment I can still try to fix my behavior then and there.

Overall a great app, but I would love to see dark mode made available for when I’m doing meditations in a dimly lit room. As one of the first backers of Foci they’ve come a long way. I’d love to see how this application evolves over time. It does take some time for the machine learning component to reflect more precise information. Patience is needed in the beginning, but worth the effort when used daily. Make dark mode available or let the user choose their own background color or upload their own background image and I’ll give the app 5 stars.
