## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Уведомления

*2025-04-17, version 1.0*

Текущая версия работает плохо, глючит эфир активности, в т.ч. На watch. Перестает работать при погашенном экране

### 2/5 — Cool needs some work

*2025-11-04*

So far it seems to block all apps regardless of what I tell it to block.

### 2/5 — Mute button please

*2025-04-11*

See the potential as part of a bigger plan . Appreciate the simplicity . Would be great to have a mute button for the countdown timer .

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! You can mute the sound in the timer settings.

### 3/5 — Good start

*2025-11-19*

Can see the vision. Would love native support for iPad that’s not just an upscaled IOS app, higher quality backgrounds, and the accompanying hardware

### 4/5 — Why is there no sound when the time is up?

*2026-03-15*

Overall, it's great, but where is the sound notification or at least the vibration on the watch?

### 4/5 — Good, Simple Pomodoro Timer

*2025-04-17*

So far, I have found this as a good pomodoro timer that can also block apps. I liked that I can easily see and set the total session time, not just the interval times. One possible issue I have is that I cannot access any blocked apps when the session is active, particularly during breaks. I wish there was an option to allow access to some or all set blocked apps during breaks. I also wish I could set the break timer to 25 minutes, as I sometimes like to do 55 minutes of work then 25 minute break.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback!

### 4/5 — Good focus timer

*2025-04-11*

It’s a nice focus timer with some cool features. Only annoyance seen so far is that when the timer is not in use, it continues to leave widgets up in the “island” instead of removing them.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback!

You mentioned the Live Activity widget—we’re working to fix it.

### 5/5 — Great design!

*2025-11-16, version 3.0*

It’s an astonishing design for a free app! Would be great though, to have an option to increase the timer size. Also, some kind of task tracking or a history of completed intervals would be helpful for analyzing work times. Keep up the great work 👏

### 5/5 — Clean and futuristic timer

*2025-08-08*

Normal timers just don’t work for me, this one combines the pomodero method with a clean and futuristic interface that makes distraction blocking easy. It also gave plenty of options of how I can customize my working schedule

**Developer response:** Thank you! ❤️

### 5/5 — Not bad

*2025-07-01, version 2.1*

I like new graphics, but it can be even more beautiful. Waiting for the new releases.

### 5/5 — Гениально

*2025-05-28, version 1.2*

Очень классное приложение, но очень хотелось бы убрать кнопки  
пауза/сбросить/скип, чтобы никак нельзя было снять блокировку
