I think there was a short tutorial, but with so many features and complexity, I’m struggling to figure out how to play it. **Developer response:** Hi, thank you for trying Age of Pomodoro - focus study timer. Age of Pomodoro is a gamified focus app specially designed for those who feel that other focus timers (eg, Forest) are too simple. You can get resources by focusing, and use them to build your town and advance civilization.If you have any feedback/suggestions, please leave a message on our discord channel (https://discord.gg/dfAWBWwAdT). Hope we can help with your study, productivity and to-do! ### 4/5 — これ入れてから勉強が楽しみになった！ *2025-10-10* ゲームが大好きで、でも勉強しなくちゃいけない。そんな環境に今いますが、このアプリは勉強することで街を発展できる(逆に勉強しなかったら発展しない)のでゲーム感覚で勉強することができて楽しいです！ただちょとゲーム要素強いかも?でも楽しいからおっけー！ 個人的にはもう少しBGMを増やして欲しいですね〜 **Developer response:** こんにちは、「ポモドーロの時代 - 勉強アプリ、勉強時間管理アプリ、スマホ依存対策」をお試しいただきありがとうございます。ご提案については検討させていただきます。何かご意見やご提案がございましたら、ぜひ私たちのDiscordチャンネル（https://discord.gg/dfAWBWwAdT）にメッセージをお寄せください。あなたの仕事と勉強を楽しんでください！ ### 4/5 — How many levels are there? *2025-09-10, version 1.2.2* Been using this app, and I love that I get to see how my town grows everytime I study, it’s like a little incentive. I just wish they say in the game how many levels are there in each age before I get to a new age? Does the Age evolve overtime or do I just keep playing on the same Age (e.g. Stone Age) with just varying levels? ### 2/5 — Неприятно удивлен *2025-09-04* Пользовался ранее приложением focus plant и все было отлично, а тут интересная идея и проверенный производитель, все больше плюсов нет , по минусам сперва отсутствие языка, может он и есть но пока проходишь обучение поковыряться в настройках не получается, далее постоянно выскакивает error, из 5 нажатий действия 4 идут с ошибкой , тупо загрузка потом error, перезашел в приложение и ситуация не изменилась . Очень расстроен **Developer response:** Привет, спасибо, что используете Age of Pomodoro - focus study timer. Пожалуйста, попробуйте обновить игру до последней версии. Если проблема не исчезнет, отправьте видеозапись проблемы на адрес mars.zhu@shikudo.com, чтобы мы могли помочь вам её решить. Надеемся, что сможем помочь вам в учебе, продуктивности и выполнении задач! ### 5/5 — good *2025-08-20, version 1.2.2* nice ### 3/5 — リセットできるようにして欲しい *2025-08-13* 日本語の翻訳がおかしいので 意味が分からないことが多々ある。 初めから操作したくてもゲーム自体のリセットができない。 アプリを削除してもゲームセンターにバックアップがあるので不可能。 **Developer response:** こんにちは、「ポモドーロの時代 - 勉強アプリ、勉強時間管理アプリ、スマホ依存対策」をお試しいただきありがとうございます。ご提案について検討させていただきます。何かご意見やご提案がございましたら、ぜひ私たちのDiscordチャンネル（https://discord.gg/dfAWBWwAdT）にメッセージをお寄せください。あなたの仕事と勉強を楽しんでください！ ### 5/5 — Obsessed *2025-07-13* Okay I’m obsessed with this. It keeps me off my phone and productive. But I need another update!! I tried the other age of civilization game and I preferred the Pomodoro one better. Will age of Pomodoro get a “greats” update, more levels (past 16), or bonuses for building close to rivers, swamps, etc like the other one? It’s getting repetitive now and need an update!! Love this game. **Developer response:** Hi, thank you for trying Age of Pomodoro - focus study timer. We’ll discuss your suggestions.If you have any feedback/suggestions, please leave a message on our discord channel (https://discord.gg/dfAWBWwAdT). Hope we can help with your study, productivity and to-do! ### 5/5 — Good *2025-07-03, version 1.2.2* Best app ever for focusing Hope more people can come to the game ### 5/5 — My suggestions and admiration *2025-06-24* I rarely write reviews, but this one is simply irresistible. Incredibly addictive game (definitely more so than growing plants). Lots of cool nuances such as trading with other civilizations and donations to create friendship, building a wonder of the world. All this adds a goal to the game and makes you want to concentrate more often to increase your level. but there are also some points that seem inconvenient to me: 1. it's a pity that all building icons disappear from the warehouse if all buildings of this type have been built (for example, if I have built 2/3 of stone huts and then all 3 of them are displayed in my warehouse, but if 3/3 are built, then in the "material" section I cannot select stone. when many buildings have already been built with building categories, it is more convenient to work through the warehouse. 2. the presence of a lock on the building cards, which does not allow these cards to be absorbed when upgrading other cards is an excellent solution, but it would be great if it were possible to put similar locks on production buildings or on material extraction buildings, which would not allow resources to be spent on the production of household items (spears, hammers, bows, clothes, etc.) in case you need to accumulate material (wood, stone, flax, etc.) 3. the mechanics of the mood of the inhabitants are not clear: why do they become unhappy and how make them happy, although the idea is very good. 4. It is not at all clear how the white list of applications is formed. Some entertainment applications are available, and others important for work (for example, maps or music) are not available and they have to be added to the white list manually. It turns out that if I just listen to music while working, then I waste focus sessions using white applications. I understand that this situation may be related to how the application identifies itself and it is difficult for your game to re-identify other applications differently. Is it possible to simply make a more customizable list of applications that cannot be visited or do it like in your other games: exit for a few seconds to another application, focus is lost, but you can go anywhere. 5. It's a bit of a pity that the new house has only 3 levels, but I don't consider this point a problem. Once again, thank you very much for your work and for the wonderful application! **Developer response:** Hi, thank you for trying Age of Pomodoro - focus study timer.

Заходил в настройки, выставлял русский язык и все равно все на английском. Очень интересно, но ничего не понятно поэтому 3 звезды **Developer response:** Привет, спасибо, что используете Age of Pomodoro - focus study timer. Когда у нас будет больший бюджет, мы сможем поддерживать ваш язык. Надеемся, что сможем помочь вам в учебе, продуктивности и выполнении задач! ### 5/5 — Cute! Fun!

Đồ họa không đẹp nhưng nó rất hoài niệm, đơn giản và dễ dàng sử dụng. Áp dụng thời gian học để xây nhà khiến cho tôi cảm thấy thời gian mình học bỏ ra đang được thưởng bởi những căn nhà trong app vậy. Ngoài ra app không hề có quảng cáo hay bất cứ gói mua nào khiến cho tôi phải bất ngờ và cảm thấy bản thân mình thật may mắn khi gặp được app này. Tôi cũng đã tải thêm vài app của bạn và sẽ viết thêm nhận xét cho những app đó sau khi thử trải nghiệm. Tôi rất mong trong tương lai nó sẽ có trên apple watch của tôi, tôi đã rất buồn khi không thấy age of pomodoro ở mà lại thấy forest timer (cũng là app của bạn nhưng tôi không chắc tên này có đúng không, tôi tải về cùng lúc với age of pomodoro để xem app pomodoro nào hay hơn) vì tôi thấy age of pomodoro hay hơn nhiều. Tôi cũng là một content creator trên tiktok chuyên đăng tải các nội dung về study blog mà rất muốn quảng bá app này cho người xem kênh của tôi. Không biết tôi có được lấy những hình ảnh xem trước của app trong app store và hình ảnh tôi quay màn hình trải nghiệm thực tế để share trên tiktok không? Tôi rất mong chờ câu trả lời của bạn P/S: lần đầu tiên tôi viết nhận xét dài thế này. Tôi thực sự rất hài lòng và cảm thấy may mắn khi thấy app này. Chúc bạn thành công và may mắn trong tương lai, phát triển những app hay hơn thế này nữa và được nhiều người biết tới hơn. À, và tôi rất mong được thấy age of pomodoro trên apple watch của mình. Tạm biệt (23:37 12.06.2026) ### 5/5 — Good *2026-03-29, version 1.2.4* I like it ### 5/5 — Gud *2026-03-15, version 1.2.3* Gud ### 5/5 — The first app that makes me wanna focus *2026-01-17, version 1.2.3* The great things about this app is that you have a reason to focus, not just planting a tree for exemple. Although I have just a slight issue. Why can’t I use whitelist for more that 4 times a day. ### 5/5 — Making more money *2026-01-02* This app has helped me focus on my work so much better. I am able to make a lot more money because of it. Great app!! **Developer response:** Hi, thank you for trying Age of Pomodoro - focus study timer. If you have any feedback/suggestions, please leave a message on our discord channel (https://discord.gg/dfAWBWwAdT). Hope we can help with your study, productivity and to-do! ### 5/5 — Life changing game *2025-11-25, version 1.2.2* I struggle a lot with ADHD related procrastination and task initiation problems, and this app makes me WANT to study/complete my tasks. I love the premise and historical theme, and mechanically it’s well balanced. I now actively look forward to studying just so I can boost my civilisation!!!! ### 5/5 — Love this app so much!! *2025-10-23, version 1.2.2* A wonderful focus app, really love it!! Thank you for making it!! ### 5/5 — Genius App *2025-09-27, version 1.2.2* Concentration and Work gamified and actually fun 10/10 ### 5/5 — Innovative idee *2025-09-04, version 1.2.2* Ich finde die Fokus-Funktion ist ein genialer Einfall das mir hilft einen überblick über meinen Tag zu erhalten und wenn man das konsequent betitelt und wirklich keine anderen apps in der Zeit nutz hilft es auch einen die Bildschimzeit deutlich zu reduzieren, finds echt klasse ### 5/5 — Macht Laune *2025-08-28, version 1.2.2* Feier die Entwickler schon länger mit der app "focus quest". Diese idee hier ist echt nochmal genialer. Spiel macht Laune und man will mehr spielen --> man legt das handy häufiger weg um die Punkte zu sammeln. Klasse Idee --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
