User Reviews: minee timer 4

Top reviews

  • Need Chinese 需要中文版 :)

    The process of registering and finding devices went smoothly for me, so it seems like the registration issues mentioned in earlier reviews have likely been fixed. I have some prior experience in this field, so I found the user guidance and overall design to be fairly reasonable. However, for a beginner with no concept of goal-setting, GTD time block management, habit-building plans, or Pomodoro timers, the app and device might feel a bit overwhelming. They might be confused by the features. It could be helpful to add more beginner-friendly guides or additional tutorials when signing up. Additionally, the localization could be improved. I selected English, but some parts of the interface still display in Korean. Many Chinese users would also like to use the app, so I hope a Chinese version can be provided soon. Overall, I really like the concept of combining hardware and software, and I appreciate that the app has kept a minimalist approach. I look forward to future improvements! I’m giving it five stars.

    - update after a few times of use
    The app consistently asks me to log in again, whether it’s after my screen sleeps, switching to another app, or for other random reasons. It is really inconvenient to have to enter my username and password each time, and it disrupts my Pomodoro sessions. The only way to ensure I don’t get logged out is to keep my phone screen on and stay within the app at all times, which is not practical.

  • Difficult to use and only allows one user per $75 timer

    Counter intuitive app UI and timer is way too pricey to be limited to one device registration per timer. Wanted to share with my partner so they could help me and or use it for themselves

    It may be disappointing to use it as a shared timer. We recommend use our timer for your own unique goals, rather than sharing it with others, It will help you track your concentration time, explore your flow, increase your concentration time, and improve your habits. Although there is the minee 3, we have developed minee 4 because we think it’s important to track the timer usuage for a user’s unique goal. Minee 4 is a timer to collect one’s concentration habits. We have considered to put additional functions like changing subject, to-do list, and memo. but they were excluded in the final version, because it could be distracting for users to adjust those things. We thought that adding too many features would distract users from using minee for tracking activities flawlessly.
  • Unusable

    App consistently locks up on splash screen after first use going through ‘sign up’ / ‘continue with’ work flow.
