Great app

Gives you a great view of the time you have to spend working to accomplish your task. Greatly appreciated.

Beautiful, simple, perfect

I've tried most pomodoro timers out there and this is by far the best.

Only thing I would add is a "snooze" feature to plan the week ahead but I just saw the same developer released focus plan which seems to do just that ! Wish I could try it out.

Worthless App, trying to get refund

App is worthless. Poorly designed. 25minutes counts as 30min, the design and animations look amateur. Can't customize how long a task will take. Free apps out there are better.

Crashes on Apple Watch

When you open the app on Apple Watch it just crashes.

It's absolutely useless.

I emailed the developer and no response. Not even a courtesy "hey we acknowledge you just spent your money on this and it doesn't even work. We'll look into it". Nada.

Tested on an iPhone 6S and 5S. Apple Watch Series 1.

Please fix for 5 stars. Otherwise I'd give it zero stars if I could.

Way too basic not worth the price

Zero features lots of free apps that are better

Love this app - would love to see more out of it!

I love this app, it is extremely easy to use and helpful. I wish I make separate lists, one personal, one work, etc. Hope they are thinking of expanding!

Simple, powerful

Really great little app. Pairs nicely with its desktop counterpart, too. Don’t waitβ€”buy this and level up your productivity.

Response from developer

Thank you πŸ™

It Works!

I like the way this one lets you set a desired total time for task, and the way the history works. Incredibly easy to use. This is the only focus app I have found that syncs well between Mac iPhone iPad and Apple Watch.

Nails the basics but Apple Watch app doesn't work

Simple good app that nails the basics. Would love to see integration with Todoist which is what I use for tracking my tasks. Would be a 5/5 but Apple Watch app keeps crashing every time I try it, was really excited about that.

Very good app that only needs a couple more features to be great.

First of all, let me say that I really like this app a lot. I have used several apps that were based on the Pomodoro system, and this is by far the cleanest and most well-designed that I've found. The ability to keep the app synced in real time between all of my devices and computers is huge, as I always have my current task list available wherever I am. And as a huge fan of checklists, I also love that it combines the productivity tools of the Pomodoro system with the powerful simplicity of a task checklist...it keeps me focused AND organized at the same time, which is great.

There are, however, a couple of things that I would love to see added that I think would really enhance an already excellent user experience. The first is the ability to create a repeating schedule for tasks that I do on a daily or weekly basis. It's a little annoying to have to type those things in and set up a work estimate for them each and every time.

The second feature I'd like to see added is the ability to customize the work/break period on a task by task basis. For most things I do, the 25/5 system works great. But there are certain tasks I do that require longer working periods. As it stands, you can customize the work/break period globally, but that doesn't really help me very much.

Even without those features, though, I would highly recommend this app to anyone who is interested in being more focused and productive in their work. It has made a significant improvement for me in those areas.
