But it’s hard to work with because not everything is in english :( But other than that, it’s great for a pomodoro timer! ### 5/5 — 音乐不错 *2021-08-04* 很宁静 ### 5/5 — Amazing App *2021-07-14, version 3.23* Can u guys update the full english? I dont understand chinese but i love this app :( Ty ### 4/5 — Lovely, calm timer *2021-06-29* I really love the calmness, both visually and auditorially, of this this timer/pomodoro app. It’s worth paying for. 5 stars if more of it is translated to English - I think there are some cool features I’m missing out on due to language issues. ### 5/5 — Good, one feature suggestion *2021-06-22* May you add a focus mode that if the user switch apps during clocking, the time logged will be discarded. ### 5/5 — 简单好用！ *2021-06-08, version 3.23* 宝藏开发者！每个app都超级好用！ ### 5/5 — 很好用的一款APP *2021-05-13, version 3.23* 简单易用的一款番茄钟APP，大爱 ### 2/5 — language *2021-05-12* I’m not someone who speaks Chinese but i love this app so much. I went into settings and attempted to set the language to english although nothing changed. ### 3/5 — not very good for mac m1 *2021-05-12* the 10,000 hours idea is good but many bugs for mac m1, hoping that you can fix all the problems then sell it ### 5/5 — Cute *2021-04-19* I love this app but it’s mostly in Chinese which isn’t bad but I don’t speak it sooo 😂 😅 I still use it though ### 5/5 — 干净，没啥乱七八糟的功能 *2021-04-17* 适合需求简单的人 ### 4/5 — 求问求问 *2021-04-13, version 3.23* 手机锁屏后番茄记时会自动停止，该如何解决呢？ ### 5/5 — 值得推荐 *2021-04-10* 最近更新的很频繁，终于把一些问题的解决了，挺好的。不过要是自定义的番茄钟可以同步就好了，自己平板上之间设置的番茄钟都没了，还要自己重新设置。还有主界面切换代办任务的有些繁琐，没有以前简洁点一下就可以切换任务的。还有还有主界面的选择任务的界面的任务可以自定义排序就好了，虽然现在是按照优先级排序的，但是比没有按照次级的排序好凌乱，根本不好找任务。 ### 3/5 — English Language *2021-04-07, version 3.21* It's a great app :) really love the interface and features. Please add English as the language of the app. ### 4/5 — Beautifully designed *2021-03-12, version 3.15* with the user mind. Though still not in English. ### 5/5 — 👍👍 *2021-02-06, version 3.15* It’s a really good app, and music in it its really nice but the only think is u have to pay for the all the music It’s gonna be perfect if everything in it r all free ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No way to change to english?? *2024-04-17* Cannot navigate. No language settings as far as I can tell. ### 1/5 — Needs complete English translation *2021-04-07* The app is unusable to most English users due to it not being in English, which is kinda a fail especially since this app was featured on an Apple story facing English users. In my opinion, for quality reasons, Apple should not allow a partially translated app onto the App Store. I could manage to switch the language from default Chinese to English but not all labels were translated. ### 1/5 — 崩溃 *2020-07-21* 总是崩溃 ### 1/5 — English is not available and design is different from picture shown here *2020-07-14* When I saw this page i thought this app is very beautiful but turned out actual app looks totally different. (Actual one is beautiful as well, but desigbn show here is by far better than actual one. Besides, english translation is imcompleted. When I switch the langiage setting, i still see chinese language and I dont understand at all. The preview pictures look english is fully available but it’s not. I was very dissapointed. ### 1/5 — Unable to change its language *2020-07-05, version 3.14* I love the app, everything’s perfect....but every time i try to change the language, NOTHING HAPPENS...please fix this thanks:) ### 1/5 — Broken English *2020-02-21* English language option not working. Sad but true. ### 1/5 — Can’t change language to English *2020-01-21, version 3.13* Cute app but English option doesn’t work. Would not recommend if you don’t understand Chinese lol ### 1/5 — Languages *2020-01-09, version 3.13* Cant understand ### 1/5 — All in Chinese *2020-01-05* This sounds really good but it’s all in Chinese. I managed to find the setting and was pleased to see the English option but it doesn’t work. Ugh. ### 1/5 — Lost in translation *2019-12-12* I was really enjoying this app and finding it very useful so I paid £1.99 to upgrade to all the features. Now everything is in Japanese and I cannot work out how to get back to the English language option. I keep changing it in settings but it keeps reverting back to Japanese so is unusable for me now. I cannot even use the timer as the music keeps cutting out after a few minutes and before the 25 minutes. This has become frustrating not relaxing! Please fix. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 增加技能卡片歸檔功能 *2026-03-23, version 3.23* 哈嘍，很喜歡這個可愛的介面設計已經有購買，但是在技能卡片的部分，好像如果執行完只有刪除，沒有歸檔功能？這樣雖然任務不會遺失，但技能卡片刪掉之後就沒有技能的紀錄了，希望可以添加一個歸檔的功能，這樣也可以在以後需要使用時啟用他，也不會一直放著佔空間。 ### 5/5 — 一点建议 *2024-08-27* 一个番茄或许可以完成多个任务，建议任务可以自定义个数😊 ### 5/5 — 希望可以出一个更全面的guide或者英文版本 *2024-04-22, version 3.23* 谢谢作者的可爱设计 一直很喜欢。有的时候技能记录时间会卡bug手动上传了task的时间但是没有更新关联技能的时间 ### 5/5 — 意外发现 *2024-03-19* 搜索番茄工作，搜到的，试着使用一下，感觉还不错！继续使用看看 ### 5/5 — 希望能关音乐 *2022-09-22, version 3.23* 这个App很简洁，使用也很方便，界面美观。但是我希望番茄钟的音乐可以关掉，倒计时结束的时候有个滴滴滴的通知就行了。 ### 5/5 — 喜欢 *2022-08-28, version 3.23* 很清新 ### 5/5 — 求求了更新个widget吧！ *2022-08-26* 我愿意付费！！你们的ui太好看了！ ### 5/5 — 建议优化数据统计和分析 *2021-12-11* 从开始就把作者的几个软件都用了，布谷和小日常已购入，挺不错的。提点建议和功能需求：布谷的统计数据能再丰富一点详细一点吗？我看须臾那个统计数据页面就很不错。或者布谷的技能卡和须臾的数据能够互通，时间自动计入，通过须臾来查看数据分析……但是同时用太多软件浪费时间精力，反而舍本逐末了，布谷的白噪音和技能卡下用子任务计时，都很不错了，就是觉得数据统计分析界面和信息再完善一下，能有助于使用者反思提升，这样会更好。希望能长久用下去~~ ### 5/5 — 希望可以加入智慧堆疊顯示桌面的功能 *2021-10-11, version 3.23* 如題 另外一個夢想功能就是與提醒事項做連結，可以輸出或輸入 ### 5/5 — 两个请求 *2021-08-27, version 3.23* 第一是希望能加入重复任务，过几天就要干一次的。第二是任务左滑选定截止日期的操作比较自然，建议恢复 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
