Simple but effective

The concept works for me. I’ve always had a task list but couldn’t get some tasks checked off. This method makes the difference!

Not worth paying for

The app pictures are misleading as it appears that you could set a different duration for various tasks. In fact you cannot. The work period interval timer can be customized but cannot assign an estimated total work time per task. For example cannot set task number one to take 60 min and number two to take 120 min. As such the task list as a planning tool is largely useless.

Swipe left or right. Just like when you delete an email. ;)

Amazing!

This app is so simple but it’s exactly what I’ve been looking for to help me manage tasks in a more effective way. Love it!!

Not sure if still supported

I bought this app hoping to use it with my Apple Watch. App would crash regardless what I did.

I contacted support about this issue, however I haven’t heard anything from them. I have a feeling this project is abandoned.

If you’re planning to use this in conjunction with Apple Watch look somewhere else.

Response from developer

The Apple Watch app breaks for some users. :( We're sorry, hope you'll give it another chance with the next update!

Doesn't work on Apple watch as advertised!

I thought this app would be excellent to track my tasks and time them on the go with my Apple watch, but the app doesn't work on my watch. This was the only reason I purchased this app. Total let down!!

Clean distract free simple to use and really helped me to focus

Thank you so much for developing this nice & clean app, it really helps me to focus on the important stuff I need to finish by the end of day.

It would be really nice if the app developer could add
1 list function for different types of tasks. Eg. work life etc.
2 estimate time for each task. Now for each task is default to be the one session. But more often than not, a more complicated task requires more sessions.

Hope next version could improve on those!

And thanks again!

No sync options

I had to purchase this same app twice, once for laptop and once for mobile and they can’t even sync between the two. Seems like profiteering by the developers. It’s ok but needs work

Not optimized for latest iOS

Do t bother - you have to pay to find out that it doesn’t respond to touch when you try to change the time, etc. looked good in theory.

Does NOT work with Watch!

The only reason I bought this was to have the features on my Apple Watch. It fails, closes the app, every time! Complete waste of money!

Buggy, limited functionality. Don't bother.

I'm a great fan of the pomodoro technique and had great hopes that this would assist in better tracking of my work effort. But seriously, it's just a buggy expensive timer application which just hangs up or crashes regularly. Lack of tracking of your tasks over a number of days and no history of effort retained (an important part of effective pomodoro reflection and refinement of work effort planning). Pointless ripoff. Don't bother.
