Eye Care 20 20 20

(1) Update 2.5 supposedly added a vibrate event at end of 20 seconds of looking away. This doesn’t seem to be working. Could this be fixed, and could an alert tone play as well? Ideally, I’d love to see 2 switches on the settings pane for the end of the 20 seconds: a switch for vibrate and a switch for alert tone. That way, a user could select vibrate, or alert sound, or both, or none. For all alerts: it would be really neat if we could choose the sound that plays. (2) Update 2.6 says “made it easier for you to give feedback”. I thought this meant a way to give feedback from within the app - if so, I couldn’t find it. The only way to give feedback seems to be by writing this review. Other than that this app is super helpful and I truly appreciate what you’ve done!!! 😀

I like this app! It works pretty well and notifies you on the lock screen reliably when it's time for a break. However, the timer for the 20 second period does not notify you when it's up, which is part of what I'm looking for in an app. Otherwise, very helpful!

It’s hard to complain about free apps, but this app is pretty much useless. It’s basically just a 20-minute timer that resets itself. Only fractionally better than setting the timer on the clock app. So, it still runs even if you’re not using your phone. Which also means that it might tell you to take a break even if you’ve only been using your phone for two minutes. And, it’s constantly telling you to take a break even if your phone is lying on the table. For something like this to be useful, it should only run the timer when the phone is in your hands. Also, as another reviewer mentioned, it doesn’t tell you when the 20 second break is up. And, you either have to manually start the app or set it to run during certain hours. There should be an option for it to run all the time (but, again, only if it were to run only when the phone was actually being used). Great idea, but pretty useless in reality.

I really like this app. I tend to get engrossed in reading or playing a game and this app keeps me from getting optical migraines from staring at the screen too long. I just wish it would buzz when twenty seconds are up so I know I can get back to my task. As it is, when my buzzer rings, I get up and walk around , so it is working great for me and my eyes!

You want an app that tells you to look away for 20 seconds every 20 minutes. It does that. I press the start button and then forget about which is exactly how basic it should be. You already know if you want this so just go for it!
