1. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Copied from “Focus Friend”. I started with this app. I was very frustrated that the free version doesn’t give you enough incentive to focus. So I got the ad to buy pro for 40% off, and then another tie 55% off… but when you go to subscribe there is no discount! Then after using it for a while I was told this was actually a flat out copy of another app. The story line is even WORD FOR WORD. I’d be cool with a similar concept, but I draw the line at flat out copying. Deleted.

2. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   THIS APP RIPPED OFF FOCUS FRIEND. This app is a copy of Focus Friend, an app that came out a few months earlier and won an award. Do not use this app, use Focus Friend. This app just plagiarized the entire setup and system but used an avocado instead. Support the original developers and get the Focus Friend app!

3. ★★★★★trial charges and refunds

   Bad customer service - subscription that doesn’t give you access. I downloaded this from a video on an official ad and it asked me there to do a subscription before downloading the app so I did but then it didn’t transfer to the app and then it charged me when I couldn’t even use the subscription I reached out to support and they told me to just accept the free trial on the app which would create another charge with no way to cancel the first one.

4. ★★★★★a needed feature is missing

   Wish it could be a zero. You have to pay just to use the app and it’s so stupid. When I got the app I didn’t see anything about having to pay to use it.

5. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Frustrating.. I need to keep certain apps available but it doesn’t matter if they’re checked or not checked, I still can’t have my music or books…. I can’t focus in silence. I paid for pro and still can’t use it.

6. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Could be better. My first issue is that as someone with ADHD just a timer doesn’t help. There is 0 punishment for getting on your phone unless you pay monthly. My second issue is that my motion keep disappearing I had over 200 and haven’t bought anything. I now have 71 which unmotivates me when my reward doesn’t even exist.

7. ★★★★★mixed experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Good concept. My phone overheated and I didn’t like how I had to leave it on while the avocado was focusing. I feel like that should be optional. But I think the idea is really good and cute

8. ★★★★★a needed feature is missing

   Great concept however, I don’t need another thing to take care of. I was really excited about this app once I started using it. It helped me focus and it is adorable! However, the need to water the avocado takes the fun out of it. I already have a lot of tasks that require me to remember to keep up with things I don’t need a digital critter demanding me to give it water.

9. ★★★★★the app helps achieve the intended result

   Happy! Question below:. Incredible app! Very happy with it. The only thing- I’ve completed it all! There’s no more rooms to do… and I don’t really want to change the furniture I’ve put in my current rooms. This app has really helped me focus in all parts of my life- hobbies, social time, work, and even my self care time. I didn’t realize how much I was using my phone until My Avocado- I named him Poot🤭 Although I’m very satisfied with the app, I can’t help but feel like there’s nothing else to do. It’s a little sad because I look forward to adding more to his home. Is there going to be an update with more rooms? Cozy kitchen, cozy bathroom, cozy game/hobby room. I hope so!!!

10. ★★★★★the app helps achieve the intended result

    Absolutely helpful!!. This app has helped me put the phone down and get things done! It has also helped me put the phone down just to take some time to rest! Sometimes when my avocado is knitting, I’ll be in my comfy chair crocheting! It’s a fun way to make sure I have plenty of screen free time every day!

12. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    So much fun. Gives me a desire to be mindful but wishes it’s more than two rooms. I want to do a whole house

13. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Really enjoying this. This is such a cute idea! One request, would be great to have an option to not let my phone “go to sleep” when I’m focusing so I can keep an eye on the timer.

14. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    very useful for my daughter. 10 out of 10

15. ★★★★★the app helps achieve the intended result

    So helpful and so fun!. This is such a unique app. It really helps me focus on work and chores but it’s also so fun. It makes getting stuff done addictive because I get to upgrade my Focado’s home as I earn rewards from getting stuff done in IRL😊 10/10 ADHD app🔥

16. ★★★★★the app helps achieve the intended result

    cute little avocado!. great app! I have ADHD and this cute avocado helps me focus when I can’t concentrate!

17. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    ACTUALLY DOING MY WORK NOW. Idk why but I just have such a hard time focusing for long periods of time, and using a normal timer just never helps, but something about helping your own avacado decorate his home when you focus makes it actually fun to focus up and get work done lol
