Pleasantly Surprised
When it comes to apps like this that have paid versions, it usually means you hardly get anything substantial without paying. In other words, a paid app with extra steps and a demo. Here? I wanted a pomodoro timer, and that’s what I got. It works for my device, and has a decent array of other productivity features. I’m glad to see that an app with such high reviews really deserves the praise.

Me ayuda a mantener el enfoque sin distracciones
Great app!
Have been using this app for years. It is simple to use and very helpful
Perfect little focus app
Highly recommended
High School
This is so helpful, and beneficial when you struggle with managing your time and have online school. The flexibility is amazing but not having a structure or foundation getting started can leave you behind. This app lets you set the time and keeps you focused/on track when it comes to working and taking breaks. This app is amazing and I use it everyday.

Good but confusing to use
I’ve had this app for a while now and I don’t know if it’s a me thing or just UI but it’s rather odd to use it. For example, when I press the “Start Focus” I’m expecting for me to be able to choose from the different types of focus timers that I have and that is why I don’t press the play button but doing that automatically starts with the default 25 minute timer as opposed to my custom one.
Resuming a focus session also does not properly start when it needs to.
I like the app but these items affect the user experience in my opinion and I can get used to just about any software.

Helps my ADHD
I set a short timer to get over my procrastination and then expand this as I get into a task. It has helped eased my overwhelm(in conjunction with other task prioritisation tools) and anxiety.
Accountability
The app is helping me with time management for my study sections. It’s helped me come up with a study plan that I can also modify. I wish there was adhd music in the app available for background focus noise.
Let me start
Just wanted to focus. BS questions to start. Slowed focus down.

Phenomenal Focus Tool
My professor introduced the Pomodoro method in my masters level program. I have used it often on for years. I had a stage of my life where I was unproductive and easily distracted, and picking back up this method begin to put my life back on course.
Literally the best
Use this and forget procrastination. Now stop scrolling and get on with your work…
Works
I like it.
Excellent timer
Whether or not you are familiar with the Pomodoro method, this is a very helpful tool for focusing attention and taming the chaos of modern life!
How long are we gonna put up with this?
First off, the pricing model is totally predatory. The only free trial is if you agree to be charged a whole year’s membership fee after the seven-day trial period. There’s no free trial if you opt for just monthly payments. I wonder why that would be? Also, how long are we going to tolerate apps asking you a bunch of irrelevant questions prior to even being able to test the app? Can I please just test your service without feeling like I’m being herded?
When I finally got to the app, I realized it was overly complicated and could not really do what I wanted it to do, which was track the amount of time I spend in specific habits by using timers for those activities. Overall, I feel like I was charged $13 so that I could make the 30 second assessment that this app was not for me. This could have been avoided with a free trial.

Extremely annoying notifications
The programmers of this app decided it would be a good idea to add frequent, condescending notifications about how “my focus keeps getting pulled away” and how “yesterday was tough 😞”. Apparently the behaviour that triggers this is navigating to different apps during your five minute breaks. It is such an annoying feature. I wish I could turn them off but I don’t want to turn legitimate timing notifications off.

Reliable and simple
I don’t favor the most recent update that clutters what used to be a simple timer, but I’ve enjoyed and relied on the app for years. I’ll still use it until I find something else with fewer features (and less stuff on the home screen).
This is a Game Changer!!!
This is such a help when trying to study and work and not get distracted
