Pomo

Very good

Simple, functional app

Love this app, simple enough for me to not avoid using it, lots of *types* of widgets that help with visibility of an ongoing focus session or reminding me that I need to start one, and the weekly buildup of tomatoes is very motivating for me to keep using the app. There’s very little visual and functional friction when starting a focus session as well, which helps me get into a focus session faster than getting distracted by something else.

REQUEST: Can you please add optional streaks widget?

Helps me keep my focus

i’ve used other time tracking apps in the past, but this one is working for me really well right now. The way that you can see your focus sessions as cute tomatoes may seem silly but it satisfies my brains reward system really well. I also love that I can categorise my focus slots with premium features. I use this every day when I work to allow me to keep my focus on what matters to me.

Cant change color of timer

Timer does not go horizontal when I set my phone horizontal basically it's stuck on vertical also I Cant change the ugly orange color in the free version so you're stuck with this default orange colour in the free version.

Suggestion

Hey,
I am really enjoying this app. It genuinely had helped me to focus better on my studies. I always hated the fact that I cannot concentrate during my studies and this app helped me a lot with my issue. I am new to this app so I don’t know if it already exists, but it would look better if the tomatoes could have different colors that would match the tags. For example, if “focus” is yellow, then yellow tomatoes should appear, or if a tag is blue, the blue tomatoes should appear. In this way we would be able to see what we have focused on more than the other.

Great focus app for school! Just one small suggestion

I love this app because it’s easily accessible and has a simple UI to not deter your attention away. I also love the widgets it comes with. My only suggestion (I’m actually begging for it) is an automatic pomodoro timer that dings or makes a sound at the end of every focus/break period until the end of the user set cycle, so I know when to switch. Often times, I’ll keep working and lose track of time, and when I look at my phone to see the timer, it had already finished counting so I don’t know how much time has elapsed since and i need to press the start button again to resume the pomodoro to the next period.

please make an option to keep pomos for longer than a week and maybe different colours???

love the app so much just wish it wasn’t so hard to accidentally cancel a pomo and that pomos could stay for longer than a week

Awesome

Very cool app, looking forward to using it a lot

functionality drop off

EDIT: uninstalling and reinstalling the apl has solved my issues for now, except that the sound notifications for a break ending do not occur anymore

app has been extremely useful for about a week after download, but now the lock screen widget (entire reason i’m using the app), notifications and sounds, and in app notifications have all stopped working. So the app now is a timer app with extra steps and completely loses the entire reason i loved the app at first. I have emailed the developer to ask if maybe it’s a software issue on my end but they have yet to respond. I’d pay like $100 for this app for its original functionality, but now it’s essentially useless. Have no idea what happened, would love to hear back from the developers and fix my usage and purchase the lifetime access.

Helps me stay focused

It actually helps so much with my studying. It makes me feel rewarded that I have little tomato babies. + I love that it pops up on my lock screen too. The only thing is for some reason my airpods/bluetooth headphones keep disconnecting when I’m using the background noise feature. Not sure why, I’ve tried a few different headphones and have no problems with other apps.
