Not worth subscribing
The free version only allows 3 tasks, I’d be pretty willing to do a one time $2.99 purchase to unlock more tasks, but $2.99 /month for this very basic app is outrageously expensive.
Monthly charge
Wants you to pay 2.99 a month just to have more than 3 timers. A one time fee is reasonable. A monthly prescription for a glorified chronograph is not.
Subscription? For a timer?!
Hello, developers. You’ve created a great app here, and I was so excited to see what finally looked like an attractive 30/30 replacement. Well done! Then I saw that you are asking for $2.99 per month for a subscription to this timer. Think about it. Would YOU pay $36 per year for a timer? For an app that doesn’t offer a great deal more than what any smartphone will do for free? I understand that it also tracks habits, but so do a lot of free or one-time-fee apps. The trend toward subscription-based apps isn’t all that consumer-friendly, but at least I understand when an app does multiple things and will provide increasing value over the lifetime of the app. There is no way that I would subscribe to a timer at this rate, which would cost me a whopping $180 over 5 years! If you want this app to succeed, please be reasonable. Thank you.

Simple and easy to use
This app is super simple and does what I wanted - keeps track of my reading time each day. It doesn’t over complicate anything. I’m a big fan.
Did not track manually entered time properly
Whenever manually adding time it would skew the data showing I’ve only done 1 min of said task.
Only works when timing tasks live

Perfect
This app is absolutely perfect. It doesn't fall for the same flaws that other apps fall for.
Example 1:
Timer apps with poor reporting.
This application has the perfect amount of reporting. It's not a bunch of charts for no apparent reason and it remains insightful with a focus on task reporting. One thing I would like to see is the ability to create projects for example work - call x
Example 2:
Timer apps without data export
I don't need a timer that then becomes a data analysis tool for freelancers but if I did I wouldn't want to be limited to any single application. The ability to export data allows me to build whatever charts or graphs I'd like to analyze my own performance
Example 3:
A heavy focus on being a task manager and not a productivity enabler - the reason we use these apps
These apps usually have too much of one thing or not enough of the other. Apps with heavy gamification even ones with forest are great for growing gardens but I can't actually see that I am being productive during the task. Which if you have adhd is important. This app lets me anticipate the progress with it's ui and creating a task is as simple as adding a todo on things.
Example 4:
Poor user interface
This app is beautiful. It isn't red like a tomato it isn't overbearing with charts and the fact that the timer is not a giant clock in the middle of the app. Its logical. The more time you spend the more the bar increases with colors you choose.
Example 5:
A ridiculous emphasis on "sessions"
Sessions are ridiculous. If you need a break pause the timer. I have never created a session and have gone back to the task. This app is genius in the way that it increases the task completion meter as time goes by making me more likely to jump back in because from a gamification perspective my brain wants the meter to be full
