Wonderful

This app is really helpful for studying! It helps keep track of my study while avoiding going on my phone while studying. I also can just quickly glance at how much study time I have left too! I recommend for students!

Simple and efficient

I really enjoyed the simplicity of this app. It’s exactly what it has to be.
I wish there was a sync option and ringing instead of the blinking.

Almost perfect for what I need

The only reason this is getting 4 stars is because the timer pauses if I use my phone for anything other than this app. Since I use my phone for work as well as this app, I have to remember to restart it so it can pick up where it left off. For now, I have remedied that with installing the app on my iPad so I can run the timers without disruption. I hope the developer comes up with a solution quickly. Other than that, this app is exactly what I was looking for to help me maintain focus on my day to day work while reminding me to take small breaks to clear my head. This timer seems as if it were designed to work alongside the Pomodoro productivity method but what I like about it is that I can adjust the timers and am not limited to the 25 minute work increments. 25 minutes is great if I am working on a long, tedious project but not so much for the less time consuming tasks. This app allows me to adjust to my liking as I go through the day. My productivity has increased in a short time and it’s wonderful and much less stressful.
