Great foundation, needs improvement

The app has a great concept, and works pretty smoothly, but it needs more.

Pomodoro uses three times, not two. A work time, a short break time, and a long break time, which is used every 4th break.

The history should be editable. People make mistakes, even when pressing "start".

Multiple lists would be a nice touch...

Needs lots of work

Can't change the 30 minutes, can't change what you've typed in without deleting it. Come on you should be able to edit better than that

Apple watch app crashes...

This is great but the apple watch app needs to be fixed... :(

Nice app

If you're looking for a pomodoro app that syncs between iOS and Mac desktop, this is a very nice one. The task list syncs beautifully, even when the timer is running you can hand off instantly from Mac to phone and vice versa, and it's so handy to be able to estimate a target number of pomodoro sessions per task and have Focuslist total the number of hours for you. I'd like to see a volume control on the ticking sound and the ability to edit the number of completed sessions in case of mistakes, but otherwise I'm really happy with this app.

Intuitive Interface

Nice application to organize your day. The interface is clean and intuitive. Turning off the ticking makes the application not distracting.

Works but needs improvements

The auto start next does not work. So you have to start each break, new chore or activity manually. Which for a A.D.H.D. mind like mine is hard to remember. Wish this had the ability to make up different lists not just 1 large list. I need to break everything up to make it manageable or it is overwhelming. Also the ticking the whole time is annoying need a loud alarm at end of each time period. Hope to see some improvements soon.

Tracks / loses Pomodoros intermittently

I used to love this app! It worked so well - until it started not keeping track of Pomodoros. This occurs on a daily basis - after you complete a Pomodoro, it will either not log, or - even worse - the completed Pomodoros for a task will reset back to zero, thus not accounting for the time you've spent on a task!
It's worth noting that I'm using FocusList on an iPhone, iPad and Mac - so perhaps something's messing up while it syncs across all devices. Regardless, until this bug is fixed you shouldn't bother with this app.

Simple and Easy To Use

I love the simplicity of function and organization. Very easy to get started with and easy to keep track of your time, energy, and focus.

Best pomodoro app

I checked them all out and this is the best for design, ease of use and functionality.

Awesome

Best pomodoro and I have tried them all. Use it almost every day
