Complications not appearing?

Really want to like this app, but after upgrading to Pro, I still don’t see any complications available to select on the watch face screen?

Response from developer

Hi, were you able to get this resolved? It may take a couple of minutes for Pro to show on the watch. If you still have trouble, please reach out: support@silofocus.com Also if it worked, if you would kindly update your rating / review. Thanks!

One the better pomodoro apps when it works

So far, I really like this app. The look and functionality is great. But I find that I’m not getting notifications at the end of sessions. Often, I’ll go to check how much time is left in a session only to find that it ended a while ago and I wasn’t notified. :(

Feedback

- the way the subscription is present is a turn off. Find a way that is less frustrating to new users. I spent 5 minutes trying to figure out the features only to realize they can’t be interacted with at all. I thought the app was broken.

- add a numerical timer. I like the aesthetic, but I also like to know the exact time left.

- sync the Apple Watch and iPhone app. I set a timer on one, the timer should be going on the other. That’s the deal breaker for me, personally.

Giving five stars because previous reviews are unfair and this app is one of the better pomodoro apps I’ve tried, just dragged down by its subscription presentation and the lack of a numerical display. It’s been more than a year so an update is unlikely, but I hope you consider the above if you do update it.

Doesn’t work

You set the timer going, that works. But once it reaches the end you get no notification or vibration on your watch and the app seems to close. When you open it back up again it resets the timer. You’d think for a simple concept it should be easy to get right. Avoid

Response from developer

Hey, sorry about your bad experience. Please email contact@silofocus.com — I’ll be happy to troubleshoot this and offer you a promo code for your trouble.

Great watch app

Free version is great and met all my Pomodoro needs!

Subscription trap

No complications without a subscription.

No sync between watch and phone.

One star. I don’t like “creative” descriptions that avoid the truth.

Waste of a dollar

I purchased this app for a dollar, and as soon as i opened it, it wouldn't let me do anything taskwise unless i pay for a monthly subscription! Plus, the pomodoro timer does not show you the current time (not even sure if its working), and if you pause the timer, you're not sure if you're actually pausing or resetting the timer. Very Frustrating!

Response from developer

Sorry for your bad experience. It should say “paused” when the session is paused. I’ll do my best to make the experience better. Also will be happy to send a refund for your dissatisfaction.

No complications

Doesn’t let you use watch complications unless you subscribe. Who wants to buy a subscription to a timer?!

Response from developer

Hi there! There are complications. The subscription gives you access to more complications and the to-do list functionality.

Please suggest how to get early bird offer

Hi. Description says that there is early bird offer - $0.99 one time payment for pro.
But in app there is only monthly 1.99$ subscription.
Please suggest is offer still available?

Response from developer

Hi, the early bird offer is still on as of today! Not sure why you were seeing $1.99–should be $0.99 in the U.S. Pricing will vary depending on your country. Please email support@silofocus.com and we’ll make it right.

Nothing to complain         

Can’t believe that this simple app allows me to create tasks in a single touch. Super easy to use.
