Before You Purchase
Before purchasing, review Pro benefits and the billing period shown in the app. Monthly and annual plans renew automatically; lifetime Pro is a one-time purchase. Apple’s purchase confirmation determines the final price.
If payment succeeds but access is missing, update the app and choose Restore Purchase on the Pro page. If that does not help, email vebnova@163.com.
Focus & Carriage Modes
How do the three carriage modes differ?
Relaxed mode allows switching to other apps. Whitelist mode uses Screen Time to restrict apps outside your selection. Strict mode monitors leaving the app during a running timer. See Settings → Carriage mode for details.
What can fail a session in Strict mode?
While the timer is running, switching to the Home Screen or another app and returning after the grace period can fail the session. Abandoning a journey does not count as completion. Choose Relaxed or Whitelist mode before starting if you need other apps.
Is there a grace period for accidental switching?
Strict mode allows a 5-second grace period. Return within 5 seconds to continue. An absence longer than 5 seconds can fail the session when it is not recognized as a lock or active call.
Does locking the screen fail a session?
Normal screen locking should not fail a session. The app recognizes lock and call states. If you see an unexpected failure, send your device model, iOS version, carriage mode and steps to reproduce it.
Why is an app in my whitelist still blocked?
Check Screen Time authorization, then review the selected apps, websites and categories in the whitelist picker. The system picker can group selections by category, so inspect what is actually selected. If the problem continues, send screenshots of the picker and block screen to support.
Where do I change the focus duration?
Choose the journey duration before departure. Adjust duration preferences in Settings → Time settings. Available ranges are shown in the current app interface.
Purchases & Subscriptions
I paid, but Pro is still locked. What should I do?
Update the app, check your connection and choose Restore Purchase on the Pro page. Use the purchasing Apple Account and verify your status in system subscription settings. If access is still missing, email support with the Apple order number, purchase time and a screenshot.
How do monthly, annual and lifetime Pro differ?
Monthly and annual plans renew automatically. Lifetime Pro is a one-time purchase without automatic renewal. Check the Pro page for benefits; separately sold scenes follow their product descriptions.
How do I cancel? Does deleting the app cancel it?
Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription. Use iOS Settings → your name → Subscriptions → FocusTrain, or Apple subscription management. Access continues until the current paid period ends.
Which price applies if the app and Apple show different amounts?
The price, currency and billing period in Apple’s purchase confirmation apply. Prices may differ by region, taxes and offers. Review them before confirming.
How do I request a refund?
Apple handles purchase payments and refund reviews. Sign in at reportaproblem.apple.com, locate the order and submit a request. The developer cannot directly refund an Apple transaction.
Can I restore Pro on a new phone or Apple Account?
On a new device, use the original purchasing Apple Account and choose Restore Purchase on the Pro page. Purchases do not automatically transfer to a different Apple Account.
Data & Sync
What syncs with iCloud?
With active Pro access, basic data syncs automatically; history sync is controlled by the switch. Route and special-train progress and achievements sync automatically. Focus records and timeline history require the history sync switch in Settings. Data stays in your own iCloud.
Does turning off history sync delete data?
No. Local history and previously uploaded cloud copies remain. New history changes stop syncing, while basic data continues to sync. When Pro expires, the app stops cloud sync and retains local data.
How do I move records to a new phone?
Use iOS Quick Start or a system backup. App iCloud sync requires active Pro, the same iCloud account, a connection and available storage. History also requires history sync enabled. Check the data on the new device before erasing the old one.
Can I clear all statistics or export a data file?
The app currently has no clear-all-records control or data-file export. Use iOS Delete App for local data and system iCloud storage management for system-listed cloud data. Back up before deletion; see the Privacy Policy.
Does deleting the app remove cloud data and subscriptions?
No. Delete App removes local data; Offload App retains documents and data. Manage iCloud copies and subscriptions separately in system settings. Other devices may upload old data again if they continue syncing.
Reminders & Display
Why is there no sound when focus ends?
Check notification and sound permissions, device volume, Silent Mode and system Focus settings. Preview another sound in Settings → Custom alert sound. The system can limit background reminder delivery.
How do I change the alert sound?
Open Settings → Custom alert sound to choose or preview a sound. Some sounds require Pro, as shown in the app.
Why are Live Activities or Dynamic Island updates missing?
Live Activities require iOS 16.1 or later and permission for FocusTrain. Devices without a Dynamic Island display them on the Lock Screen. Check system permissions and start a new session.
What if a widget is blank or stale?
iOS schedules widget refreshes. Open the app, then check again shortly. If the problem persists, remove and re-add the widget or restart the device. Include your iOS version and a screenshot when reporting it.
Devices & Languages
How do I change the app language?
Open Settings → Language to reach FocusTrain’s iOS settings and choose the app language. The app supports Simplified Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, German and French. The system settings location can vary.
Does the website follow my phone language?
Yes. On the first visit, the site chooses Chinese or English from your browser’s preferred language. It remembers a manual choice. Other languages use English. You can switch with 中文 / EN at the top.
Which devices and systems are supported?
FocusTrain supports iPhone and iPad, with iOS 14 or later for core features. Live Activities require iOS 16.1 or later. Whitelist mode depends on Screen Time authorization on supported systems. Check App Store compatibility and feature descriptions.
Is there an official Android version?
This website currently links to the iOS App Store version. Any release on another platform will be announced here. Contact support if you are unsure about a download’s source.
