### 5/5 — Timer.

*2022-09-28, version 1.6.2*

Very good. Will wait for updates.

### 4/5 — Cannot customize, but works with watch

*2021-01-21*

I would like to purchase the pro version of this app since is compatible with the watch, but none of the apps seem to allow for customization. It is common for people to vary time chunks ( for example 50 min, then 10 min break, then 30 min, then 10 min break, then 20 min, then 5 min break, etc) but none of the apps seem to have this as an option. Even in the pro version

### 5/5 — Very very nice app

*2020-11-09*

Working good

### 5/5 — It Works Great

### 5/5 — Medical school student

*2020-07-24*

### 3/5 — Customizations lacking

*2020-06-13*

Great app, very clean and straight forward. I’m just misding basics like disabling pauses and a less tacky color theme would be nice

### 1/5 — Disappointment

*2020-05-16*

Cannot change timer duration for different tasks.  Seems like a pretty basic option to include in app development, I mean come on?

### 5/5 — Wonderful Time Management Stook

*2020-05-04*

This app has really helped me stay organized while I am working from home. It’s also helps me break tasks into smaller chunks which keeps me from getting overwhelmed.! I love the timing, as it keeps me focused! It’s been a game- changer for me!

### 5/5 — Bugs

*2020-04-02*

Getting multiple notifications. Break mode doesn’t work. Reset counter button doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — Inaccurate but good

*2019-12-28*

It is a good app, but under history every fortnight a day has been missed so it isnt accurate. Have contacted the help team but not received a response.. not fixed over many months
