  • Does what it’s supposed to, beautifully

    The app is minimalist, with great visuals and a really pretty interface! The interactions are intuitive and smooth.
    Overall, feels really great using it!

    Only two complaints, please make the timer customizable. And please improve the iwatch compatibility.
  • PLEASE GO BACK TO BEFORE

    This app is one of the best out there, literally the UX Design, the Interface, the colors, the fonts, the whole thing is fantastic (and would be a five star review) HOWEVER:

    Although I understand the developers needing to profit off of these apps please change some features back to Free!

    I think everything sans the stats and colors and future customizations should be free.

    Even with the stats a basic overview of how much you’ve used the timer should be free as well.

    This app was one of my favorites and I am extremely disappointed that they have taken off some basic features and made them premium.
    Please please please! I don’t disagreeing that some features should be premium, however some of these are necessary!

    Here are my top features I wish were free again:
    Sound Theme
    Basic Stats and Weekly Report
    Auto-Start Work Toggle
    A few more color options

    Also, some review said there is a limit to the number of sessions you can do; I haven’t seen that yet myself but I agree that it should be unlimited sessions, or a high number which works for most users.

    (I will update my review if some improvements take place)

  • Buggy

    I have been using this timer for over a year. It has helped immensely with my productivity, as I use it to time my “animedoro” sessions. The interface is clean and easy to use. The design is pretty, and having the timer not use the exact minutes left is a great feature so it doesn’t feel like I’m just counting down the minutes until my break.

    However, I have been steadily running into the same issue. I will start a work session, and the session will end without a notification or ding if I'm in another app despite me having both my sound and notifications on. I have it on my iPad, where I also take my notes at the same time, so it is possible this may be causing issues. Another problem I have is that I will finish a work session, and it will have me start another work session by pressing the timer, instead of starting my short break. Often times, I do not notice that it has changed and will accidentally start a new work session when I mean to be on a break.

  • Perfect!

    I absolutely love this app, it works perfectly without having to buy anything. All features work perfectly. The only thing i disliked was i couldn’t use it on my iPad as an extra window, not until today at least! I never liked having the app on my phone as i would always get distracted with all my strategy games. Now that i can use it while i study on my iPad, it is officially perfect for me. I highly recommend. <3

  • Great but needs background noise

    Love the simplicity of the app and the data tracking, but I wish there was an option to turn on “ticking” sounds as the timer is counting down. Having a repetitive noise like this helps me focus and would be really nice to have as an option.
  • Customize!

    I feel like a tool like this really helps with productivity, and I’m excited about being able to customize the times now!
    The only thing I wish was different is that the timer doesn’t sound when I have a different app opened on my phone. I wish I could hear it every time.
  • Helpful for ADHD

    I use this app a lot to help me stay focused. It’s helpful if you struggle to focus or just get started with your work. The only thing that annoys me is that there are certain features you can’t use unless you have a premium account, but ya know that is what it is🤷🏽‍♀️ I would recommend this app

  • Love it!

    This app is great for my productivity. Really helps me focus and reminds me to take breaks so I don't get burned out. Would be cool to have a mode that would turn off notifications while the work timer was going.
  • Simple and effective

    I have ADHD and I always get distracted by the bells and whistles of lots of productivity apps. This app does what it’s supposed to and offers a very simple user experience without being bland. This app keeps me running smooth.
  • Use it everyday

    I enjoy the simple design and function of this app. The color options are great (brown is my favorite), and the minimalist look is exactly what I was wanting when I went looking for a pomodoro timer app. Not too much or too little, this app is just right.
