I have used lots of apps to help with focusing. This has got to be the best. I use to focus intensely for 25 min and then less intensely for 5. (Pomodoro Technique), repeatedly works like a charm because you can tie your own music to the phases (at least in the paid version) and get reminders half way through. Love the ability to cut and paste things and totally customize it to your needs. I never write reviews of apps but this is so great I just had to!
