On your app it says to suggest a feature, it may come true so my suggestions would be to have different coloured tomatoes or different types of veggies/fruits so you can see what you have achieved. I also reckon there should be a way to keep tomatoes for longer than a month. Thanks, you keep me very productive. ### 4/5 — Suggestion *2026-08-24, version 5.2.2* The app seems pretty cool but I wish there were more features like being able to add our classes to the calendar but it lists them for the whole semester ### 5/5 — More control over sessions and focus sounds *2026-08-24* Really enjoying the app, esp the clean and simple UI and cute graphics. A few features would make it even better on Mac: 1. Ability to delete or edit individual recorded focus sessions, esp if one was added by mistake. 2. More options to customize the focus sound or break sound during a session. These would make the app feel much more flexible without taking away from its simplicity. Thanks in advance. ### 5/5 — So adorable *2026-08-23, version 5.2.2* Would love the ability to pause the focus session during pomodoro! ### 5/5 — Feature *2026-08-23, version 5.2.2* This app has helped me a lot with my studies and I love collecting tomatoes s it’s so cute and fun oh and maybe you could do besides tomatoes like fruits but I like the whole concept thing of tomatoes because pomodoros and tomatoes it’s so cute and fun and maybe I like free trials but maybe just like do like a starter pack completely free because some students or People just don’t have the money maybe just for the starter pack you can do I year free and then 20$ or a reasonable price Im not saying your prices are not reasonable it’s just a suggestion for the price I hope you read this thanks✨ oh and the sound while the timer is on its sooo relaxing I don’t know if it’s rain or the tomatoes cooking But I just love it ### 5/5 — Love this for studying *2026-08-23, version 5.2.2* I use this app all the time for studying or getting assignments done for my college classes. Also the tomatoes as rewards are so adorable ! ### 5/5 — Suggestion *2026-08-21, version 5.2.2* I love asthetic and so do many more girlies I know. This could be an instagram worthy app if we could change the color of the background! (And maybe different fruits for different colors?) *that might defeat the whole pomrodo “tomato” purpose tho I absolutely love this app tho I use it am in high school i would like have. No breaks without it. ### 5/5 — Great timer to help me focus *2026-08-20, version 5.2.2* Love this timer .. it keeps me focused ### 4/5 — Cant restart data *2026-08-20, version 5.2.2* I love this app, and recently redownloaded it because I am going back to school. Problem is, the app still has saved data from YEARS ago. Its driving me crazy that I have 33 past tomatoes that I can’t delete:/ I have tried EVERYTHING to clear it, but cant. I would love to start over for the school year… ### 4/5 — Toggle off dark mode *2026-08-19, version 5.2.2* If possible, I’d like to toggle off dark mode for its widgets even when my system is using dark mode. I just would like the option to see the color I chose clearly in the whole widget block rather than just in the font while still using dark mode for the rest of my phone. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Idea *2026-08-18, version 5.2.2* The oranges have the same color as the task done. Shows how much work was done for each different individual task. Can be turned on or off for aesthetic reasons ;) Can also be different fruits or something Ex: Reading is red and did 20 minute read and the orange is also red on home page. Good app though fr ### 5/5 — Great *2026-08-18, version 5.2.2* Just wonderful it helps me with everything ### 5/5 — Love the app *2026-08-18, version 5.2.2* The only thing i wish they would add is the ability for the app to show the study sessions automatically on google calendar the same way it does with apple calendar ### 5/5 — Request *2026-08-17, version 5.2.2* Can the tomatoes by different colors for each focus type? That would visually help me determine where my focus has been centered. ### 4/5 — needs PiP capabilities *2026-08-17, version 5.2.2* please provide option to pop out timer in PiP ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-08-13, version 5.2.2* Really helpful in staying focused. ### 5/5 — Great but an option for silent alarms would be welcome! *2026-08-12, version 5.2.2* Fantastic this works across the Apple ecosystem but as a result multiple devices can notify you of a session ending, so being able to turn off the alarm noise (rather than mess around with audio settings on four or more devices) would be great, and well-appreciated by the others in the library I am at! ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-08-12, version 5.2.2* easy to use, organise and action with. love using the widgets as well ### 4/5 — Great but a visual bug is frustrating *2026-08-10, version 5.2.2* Every time upon opening the app following completion of the timer, the little congratulations badge card is off centered and glitching out. Makes the app experience seem laggy and unpolished. ### 5/5 — I love you *2026-08-10* I love this focus app. I’ve tried so many and this is my fave. I’d like to suggest a feature. Could we have more than just orange tomatoes? Maybe different colors or even different vegetables or fruits? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — I love it butttt *2026-08-02, version 5.2.2* I really wish i didn’t have to pay for yes don’t get me wrong. The time is great but blocking you have to pay for it as a student. I really don’t have the money to pay for that and I really wish there was something that I could do about it, but I really couldn’t so I understand that you guys wanna get paid, but I think there should be no exception, but student can’t pay all the time. Anyways, it’s still a good time. Really recommend for the timer, but it has some kind with it advertising like I think it shouldn’t have to be paid because like you know, we want both of it in one way I think I have a really good time when everything is really like useful, but like you guys. you know thank you! ### 1/5 — Annoying *2026-08-02, version 5.2.2* Millions of users! 4.7 star rating! Whatever. This is one of those apps - kind of like Tinder - that has so many pop ups and questions before you even get to use the app… then finally you’re on the timer page, but wait, how about this free trial? Me: No, Go away. Then just as I’m about to click on the timer, another pop up: how about THIS free trial? Me: How about I delete your app? I am already annoyed before I’ve even started using the product. And the oranges aren’t cute, they’re just weird. ### 1/5 — Постоянно предлагает подписку *2026-07-20* Бесплатно самые примитивные функции. Остальное за плату. Очень завязчивую ### 1/5 — Add Russian language now *2026-07-19* Add Russian language right now if you selling this app in our store ### 1/5 — Don’t let mac goto sleep/lock screen when pomodoro is active & FFS show the tag name in focus view *2026-07-16, version 5.2.2* I will turn this review up to five stars when these features are added, two stars for each feature. (macOS) Feature 1: I want my Mac not to go to sleep or lock the screen when I am focussing or a pomodoro is active. Can make this optional but give the user an option to turn it on. (macOS, iOS, iPadOS) Feature 2: Sometimes when I am in a hurry I sometimes select the wrong tag and start my pomodoro. Currently I have to go to my phone lock screen to see if started the right pomodoro. The tag name should be visible not just when starting to focus but during focus on the countdown screen. WatchOS focus screen can contine to stay as it is currently. ### 1/5 — Pay way if you want any actual use of this app *2026-06-18, version 5.2.0* There’s a large pay way for basically any use of the app, you can use the time but to change your break time, app blocker, or calendar syncing you have to pay. ### 1/5 — This is the worst game. Fox it. *2026-05-29, version 5.1.4* I hate this app. It’s nice but girl I ain’t paying money for a timer ### 1/5 — KEEP THE TOMATOS *2026-05-18, version 5.1.3* Hi can you please keep the tomato cause i love this app soo much but the fact at all my hard work get erased every week is soo annoying and i always want my phone to have a bunch of tomato filled up ### 1/5 — Sad *2026-04-14, version 5.1.2* Screen goes blank every time I click start timer. No features work. I’m so sad I used to love this app and now nothing works. ### 1/5 — Pro required to onboard *2026-04-10, version 5.1.2* Requires me to sign up with pro subscription to start using the app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Really helpful tool! *2026-08-30, version 5.2.2* I tried the free version and decided to pay for the app because I found it so incredibly helpful for work, study and getting things done in my home (that generally feel overwhelming). It’s been great managing fatigue as someone recovering from burnout and imputed ADHD. I would love to see the little tomato’s being the colour of the focus task (like the calendar does) or the ability to change the colours of the dashboard. ### 5/5 — Greattt *2026-08-29, version 5.2.2* Greattttt omg ### 5/5 — Calm *2026-08-29, version 5.2.2* Amazing app to help learn and study while having fun with the tomatoes or peaches ### 5/5 — Suggestion *2026-08-28, version 5.2.2* Love the app! It’s half the reason I’m making it through grad school! One suggestion I have is to create the ability for different timers to have different app blackout lists! I use one of my timers for home tasks and it’d be nice to not have the same apps blacked out at that time as when I’m using the timer I use to study. Thank you! ### 5/5 — It does what its supposed to do *2026-08-27, version 5.2.2* I got exactly what I needed. there are no complaints on my side ### 5/5 — I love it *2026-08-27, version 5.2.2* Best focus tool so far. Premium is absolutely worth it. Would love to see some sound options to play in background like lofi or cafe noises. ### 5/5 — Love this- so helpful *2026-08-26, version 5.2.2* And so freaking cute ### 5/5 — I like it so muchh *2026-08-26, version 5.2.2* It’s a very good app, i started using it more now since i started college and it has helped me study a lot. Would definitely recommend… plus the cuteness! ### 5/5 — Cute pomodoro app *2026-08-26* First of all … love the tomatoes !! They r sooo cute ! What I really like about this app is , it gives an aesthetic vibe, which I was looking for ! This app is really effective for a person like me , cuz I’m not really motivated to study properly… but this app has motivated me really well … thanks to the person or team who made this , tysm!! ### 5/5 — Good app! *2026-08-26, version 5.2.2* I love this app, it really cute to have the tomato float around!
