Bugs

UI needs to be fixed. Also the timer doesn’t persist when you close the app.

I really want to like it but has some bugs that won’t go away

I can’t access most options in the Settings section. Words don’t go to links, they do nothing. Not even the email link to report bugs. The statistics don’t work anymore, it just crashes. It been like this for a few months, I have email them so I hope they fix the bugs soon. I had to copy & paste it into my email app to do so, since the link doesn’t work. So for three months I haven’t been able to look at my statistics, therefore I haven’t been using this app as much & I’m starting to regret going pro with it. I never got a response on when the bugs would be fixed nor do I know if they will since I email them three months ago.

Great to motivate focus

This is an essential part in helping me study for uni every day. Just the little reward each time I study is very motivating. It just add some fun to a really emotionally and cognitively draining Degree/S

Great design but annoying to use

The very first time I tried to set a timer it failed because my phone screen turned itself off which I guess counts as leaving the app? I turned off deep focus mode but it’s annoying that feature is basically unusable unless I want to drain my phone battery

Very cool

It’s perfect! I use everyday in my pomodoro session. ❤️
