Step 3: Let the app work properly
After installing, your tablet will ask you to allow focuspang to do certain things. You need to say "Allow" to these requests so the app can work with your teacher:
Allow the app to see what you're doing
This helps your teacher know if you're paying attention in class. Look for "Usage Access" and tap Allow.
Allow the app to help you focus
This helps the app work better during class time. Look for "Accessibility" and tap Allow.
