Promising
I use this mainly with my Apple Watch. This app seems to be rare in that the complication shows roughly what time is left *when your wrist is down* AND it vibrates repeatedly until you move to the next timer. There isn’t another app I know of that does this, and I like that this isn’t subscription based.
I like the second thing because when I’m focused sometimes I miss the initial vibration and with other apps I’ll blow through the break, kinda defeating the purpose of pomodoro. I like that this app waits for you to advance the timer and ensure that you’re taking proper breaks.
The only reason I took off a star is because it doesn’t support having short and long breaks, so I use my timer app for the long break. I hope this feature can be incorporated soon!Show lessK123321

Thank you - we are happy that you had a good experience so far. Thanks for the feedback as well, we will consider long break in the future.Simple & perfect
Just what I’ve been looking for - syncs between my devices and has a nice complication on my watch. Good stuff!NicF1997

Thank you!More improvement?
I’m very satisfied since it is working seamlessly among other devices including apple watch and gives simple statistics.
However, it would be better if u can add a “hold” button like other timers. Currently, if I stop the timer while the pomodoro is running, it just reset the timer to the beginning.
Thanks!Show lesssu_review

Hi su_review, Thank you for the positive feedback! We just released version 2.3.0 and added a Pause feature to hold running pomodoros. Cheers, Talking Chicken FriendPlease help!
The app’s design and functions look amazing (hence the reason why I purchased the app for my apple watch) but I can’t get the timer to start on the background of the apple watch! Every time I press the timer, it just says “Tomatoflex does not have permission to schedule background sessions …” etc. Although I press “enable background” each time, it is NOT WORKING! Please help - the app itself seems amazing only if I could use it.Show lessneenaw1029

Hi neenaw1029, This is going to be an issue with the general background app refresh settings for the Watch. On Watch please go to Settings->General->Background App Refresh and make sure the Background App Refresh on the top is turned on. Then scroll down to TomatoFlex and ensure it is on for it as well. It should work after. We hope it will resolve your issue but if not please reach out to us at company@talkingchickenfriend.com and we will help you making it work. Also, thank you for the nice feedback about the expected functionalities - we hope we won't fail you :) Cheers, Talking Chicken FriendTHE best pomodoro app for iPhone and Apple Watch
I have tried all the Pomodoro apps out there on the App Store including the ones requiring subscriptions and this one is by far the best. It works great and is easy to use. It has definitively helped me stay focused during the day! Well worth the reasonable ONE TIME purchase price and glad to support the dev in doing so!Show lessFellow pixel captain

If you still have a problem please reach out to us via email. We hope you will have a better experience once you manage to install it.Best pomodoro app for AW
I’ve tried pretty much every pomodoro app, and this one is the best. Favorite part is that it actually vibrates like a timer so I can’t ignore it and it has a complication that I can quickly glance at.
Highly recommend giving this app a shot.Blanwell

Thank you for the very positive feedback and we are happy you like TomatoFlex!The best Apple Watch pomodoro timer
Update 7/16/2020
The developer quickly added the feature I requested. Now this is the best pomodoro timer app on Apple Watch imo.
Thanks for building this!
Original review: This app is awesome. My one request is could we have an option to change the watch face icon from that smiling tomato to just showing countdown minutes? It looks cute, but I just need something looks more professional. I’m sure will change my rating to 5 start if that got added in the next release. Thanks!Show lesswinchieXue

We are glad you like TomatoFlex in general. The feature you requested makes a lot of sense and we will add it in the next minor (1.3.0) release. Thank you for the constructive feedback!Perfect Pomodoro App
This app gets everything right:
It has a simple 25 minute countdown with 5 minute break, it notifies you when the 25 minutes is up with a constant vibration so that you can confirm whether or not you would like to take a break, it runs in the background, and it doesn’t have a crazy subscription model. Absolutely perfect.Show lessAaronLowe1

Thank you for the positive feedback, we are really happy you like it! Simplicity is our main goal with TomatoFlex as we think that's key to focus on the actual work. With force/3d touch on the watch face you can display TomatoFlex's menu where you can find settings and statistics to adjust intervals and review your productivity for the last 7 days.
