Hi, I love this app as it lets me focus more than any other app i’ve tried and as of yet it hasn’t been buggy which is the thing i’ve struggled with on other apps!
I really think a friends leaderboard would be a really good idea. one of my main motivations is other people and seeing a leaderboard of how much all of your friends have done as the week goes on could be a really good feature.

if this feature was added it could also be cool to see a shared calendar on the app where it showed what you have done throughout the day like it does now, but also when and what your friends have done too, which could be an optional choice.

I also think it would be good to be able to add a title to each session you have done such as “maths homework” or “cleaned my room” so when you look back you have a way of knowing what you did and when.

Another feature I think could be cool would be other sounds as well as rain while studying, maybe a fireplace or something, just more ambient sounds.

i’ve seen someone else say this too, but adding another fruits could be a good insensitive to do more, such as “spend an hour in a focus session to unlock this fruit”

My last suggestion would be to make the tomato’s a different size depending on how much you have done, such as small for less than 30 minutes, medium for 30mins to an 1, large for 1+ hours, and the biggest being 2 hours or more.

Great!

I personally think this is a great application, I like the concept, it is very useful and it is a great motivator. However I think more time you set the timer for work, the higher should be the break time. For instance the other day I worked on a big project during an hour and 5 minutes as a break wasn’t really enough. In addition I had a awesome quantity of little and cute pumpkins but they all disappeared ( they weren’t forming the tryout collection) and I found myself really sad to just see them disappear ;( But overall good app.

Love it but could use this potential feature

The app is great, I use it all the time for study and reading. I wish there was a way to choose which tags sync to Healthkit instead of all data syncing.

So adorable and perfect for my studying!

I love this app. I have upcoming exams and need to study crazy because I’m not that type of student that aces all their classes. This timer has helped me focus on my work, and I love that it also has a break timer for five minutes after a study session. The design is simple and adorable and the raining background music is so relaxing. Overall it’s an amazing app and I hope more people will start to use it!

MY FAVOURITE APP BUT …

One of the best apps ever!!! But has it recently been taken off the MacBook App Store? I use this app daily on both my iPhone and MacBook, with my study data syncing between both. But just earlier, I noticed my study data wasn’t syncing, so I attempted to delete and redownload the app on my MacBook only to notice that the app was not available on the App Store. Upon further inspection, I discovered that the app is now only available for iPhones, iPads and Apple Watches. Really sad about this, as I predominantly use the app on my Mac!!!

Amazing app so far

So much potential for this app. I’m loving it so far. Would love a mode where I can use the time horizontally though (with a big rolling clock similar to the one shown when the phone is locked in standby mode).

Awesome app

Whitelist needs work. Frequently the app crashes when trying to find apps to add to the Whitelist. Not the entire app, but that section blacks out, and they only way to move forward it to close that section again. Additionally when you search for an app, you can select the app, but there's no way to save that app to the Whitelist. The only options are cancel and go back which removes the app again. Also you can't open the Other category in the Whitelist. It just blacks out, and you have to go back. I'm stuck and have to end the focus session early if I want to turn my ac on lol. Otherwise I adore the app!

Love this timer

It’s usually difficult to find good apps to help with studying, this is the best one yet!

Fantastic App

Absolutely love this app. Easy to use and almost all the features you could need. Would love a macOS app. That would rate 9 out of 5 stars.

Great!!!! but could use a few adjustments

Love this. Has the cuteness of some of the more popular Pomos but not complex or gamified to the point that it distracts from the work i for the pomodoro in the first place. 3 main things i think would be helpful is to ability to rotate so the timer can be seen vertically and horizontally. Next is to have a pause timer for when you want to count your time more accurately. the third would to have a little more customization options such as color of the timer, sounds (when breaks start and end) and background color/wallpaper
