I have no concept of time or time management and I’ve used alarms to help me for awhile. With this app it does the I feel like I’ve earned my break at the end of each work session. My only complaint is that I can only set one time frame instead of different ones depending on what I’m doing. I have to set the time if I need a different amount of time. My day follows the same basic schedule each day, so being able to set a schedule of times in the app would be great. ### 3/5 — Simple & useful. Pity it's not compatible w older iOS versions *2020-03-06* I like this simple app better than more sophisticated ones and wanted to repurpose an iPad 4 to use only with a few work apps such as this one without all the distractions on my iPhone. I was disappointed to see that FocusList was not compatible with iOS 10 anymore. It is a pity that it has not retained its original iOS 9 and 10 compatibility, if only as a separate, unsupported or paying version ### 2/5 — Apple Watch app seems to be broken *2019-04-26* I have a series 1 and the app used to work on it but now it doesn’t even show up on the watch. Reinstalling the app on my phone doesn’t work and my support email was never responded to. ### 4/5 — Great app for productivity and focus *2019-02-27* This is a life-changing app that helps my distracted brain focus on what’s important. Very helpful especially when you are in charge of planning out your day instead of having your schedule dictated to you. However, I wish there is a feature to plan ahead by adding tasks for the rest of the week or month. Currently, there seems to be only an option to add tasks for the current day, not tomorrow or any other day. ### 2/5 — Not value for $ *2018-08-23* I bought this app because it was mentioned in a Trello productivity blog. There are plenty of pomodoro apps that offer almost all the functionality for free. This one is buggy on top - I couldn’t change settings and make it work in the app. ### 2/5 — Apple Watch *2018-07-23* O app no iPhone é bem interessante, porém, diferente do que eles falam aqui, o app simplesmente não abre no apple watch e tem que ser comprado de novo no mac. Infelizmente não posso ser reembolsado, comprei pela integração multiplataforma mas o app não entrega. O Pommie, que é mais barato e muito mais simples funciona perfeitamente. ### 1/5 — Not worth paying for *2018-03-11* The app pictures are misleading as it appears that you could set a different duration for various tasks. In fact you cannot. The work period interval timer can be customized but cannot assign an estimated total work time per task. For example cannot set task number one to take 60 min and number two to take 120 min. As such the task list as a planning tool is largely useless. **Developer response:** Swipe left or right. Just like when you delete an email. ;) ### 1/5 — Apple watch app doesnt work *2018-02-03* The apple watch app crash at launch, so it doesn’t work. I bought this watch only for the sync between apple watch and my mac... The sync between the mac and the iphone app works however, but it’s not why I bought the app... **Developer response:** The Apple Watch app breaks for some users. :( We're sorry, hope you'll give it another chance with the next update! ### 1/5 — Not sure if still supported *2018-01-19* I bought this app hoping to use it with my Apple Watch. App would crash regardless what I did. I contacted support about this issue, however I haven’t heard anything from them. I have a feeling this project is abandoned. If you’re planning to use this in conjunction with Apple Watch look somewhere else. **Developer response:** The Apple Watch app breaks for some users. :( We're sorry, hope you'll give it another chance with the next update! ### 1/5 — Doesn't work on Apple watch as advertised! *2017-12-31* I thought this app would be excellent to track my tasks and time them on the go with my Apple watch, but the app doesn't work on my watch. This was the only reason I purchased this app. Total let down!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — The items in the list disappeared *2021-07-24* Over tine your list keeps drinking down. ### 1/5 — Minimal Functionality, Crashes *2020-12-28* Deleted. ### 1/5 — Гениальное приложение заброшено *2019-08-02* Потрясающая программа, которая просто заброшена разработчиком. Ладно, если бы ей можно было пользоваться — обновления и новые функции тут не нужны. Важнее просто исправить ошибки. И все! Написал о них на почту, разработчик не ответил вообще ничего (уже пара недель прошла). Очень жаль, софт потрясающий ### 1/5 — Not what it promises *2019-06-28* I can’t regulate the time assigned for each task. The design and the setting of it is almost absent. Why did I spent my money here!! ### 1/5 — Not supporting watch app *2019-04-10* Hi, I just bought your app, but I can't find that for the apple watch. The main reason I purchased this was the watch app and your website describes its features specifically with several screenshots of apple watch. But after I bought it, I noticed that you're not supporting watchs. If you still have watch app, then please let me know where I can get it, or let me get a refund. ### 1/5 — No Apple Watch version *2019-03-12* I bought it thinking that I will get the Apple Watch version with it, but there is no Apple Watch version.... ### 1/5 — Update? *2019-02-09* Not adapted for Iphone X screens, broken registration and login. Bought because of sync between mac and watch, but app seems broken ### 1/5 — Perdida de tiempo *2019-02-07* No te deja poner otro tiempo a las actividades. Tiene un registro que nose para que esta si no hace nada. No te deja editar tiempos Entre otros factores Muy mala ### 1/5 — Zero customer service *2019-01-29* Sound doesn’t play when you close phone/switch apps. I sent an email about this and got no reply from the team. I thought this app had a lot of potential, but I’m left disapointed. Asked for a reimbursment and still : nothing. 💩 ### 1/5 — A waste *2018-04-10* This app doesn’t do anything except set 30 min timers. It didn’t let me change times. Don’t waste your money. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Perfect *2020-11-28* Can’t lie I’ve used this app every single day for over a year, encountered the occasional bug but otherwise brilliant, all you need. ### 5/5 — Game changer. *2019-10-16* Been using this app for almost 2 months now., it will keep you committed to your work. Great app. ### 5/5 — i need todoist integration *2018-12-17* do you have an api? ### 5/5 — Perfect, Simple, fast *2018-10-05* Very clean, focused, and sync between devices is very fast ### 5/5 — Excellent *2018-05-17* Best app in this category of polodoro minimalist timer I like the minimalist approach but I would love a setting option, to activate stuff like possibility of changing timer length or different tasks, not all of them ! Thank you ! ### 5/5 — Simple but effective *2018-03-19* The concept works for me. I’ve always had a task list but couldn’t get some tasks checked off. This method makes the difference! ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2018-01-28* This app is a productivity booster for me. It helps me with the procrastination and I can plan my day smoothly. ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2018-01-24* This app is so simple but it’s exactly what I’ve been looking for to help me manage tasks in a more effective way. Love it!! ### 5/5 — Clean distract free simple to use and really helped me to focus *2017-12-11* Thank you so much for developing this nice & clean app, it really helps me to focus on the important stuff I need to finish by the end of day. It would be really nice if the app developer could add 1 list function for different types of tasks. Eg. work life etc. 2 estimate time for each task. Now for each task is default to be the one session. But more often than not, a more complicated task requires more sessions. Hope next version could improve on those! And thanks again! ### 5/5 — Minimalismo y 100% de productividad *2017-11-22* Una app minimalista, muy zen, muy limpia y sencilla, pero muy completa, en definitiva: muy recomendable. Muy barata en comparación con el aumento en productividad que genera. Puedes planificar tu día en base a tareas y tiempo estimativo para realizarlas, después empiezas a aplicar la técnica Pomodoro y te comes el elefante bocado a bocado. Hace que le pierdas el miedo a la sobrecarga de actividades diarias. Te ayuda a ir paso a paso y a tener una idea mental del tiempo que necesitarás para hacer lo que debes (o quieres) hacer. Solo una pega: no tiene atajos de teclado, algo que considero indispensable. Espero que en futuras versiones los añadan. Hace muchos meses que no sacan una nueva versión corregida. A pesar de eso, una aplicación excelente que utilizo en Mac, iPhone y iPad. Imprescindible para mí. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
