Users now have the ability to edit most details after recording a focus session! This was a crucial feature that had previously made the app unusable for me. Now, not only can the user update the start and stop times, but also the amount of “focus” within that time block. This is a great feature for helping to understand how much you have been pulled away during your session (can also be controlled by a pause button in live activity widget). To be honest, there are a lot of other really fantastic features as well. So why not 5 stars? I still think there is a small fundamental issue. Tags are used to create the categories for how the users focus sessions are sorted. This is not a problem in itself, but once created there is no way to edit the name or change the color or the tag/category. Being that this is a fundamental building block of the application there should be some sort of editing available. Once this is implemented, the app will be darn near perfect. ————————— 1st Update Below: Without the ability to edit entries AT ALL. I’ve found that I’ve needed to more on. I want to use Pomo Up! I just can’t. These types of tools are ment to help, not cause friction and/or frustration. Unfortunately, after using it for a bit I’ve realized that I’m not perfect (no surprise there), but without the ability to edit this app requires you to be perfect with your logging. For me, that’s a nonstarter anymore. Pomo Up Team: PLEASE add the ability to edit entries. The utility of this tool will skyrocket in my opinion. ————————— Original Review Below: As a Pomodoro timer, it works really well, great in fact! But this also has a stopwatch feature that I use even more and it tracks time and stats really well. You can start it, do your work, and then pause it and/or stop it when done. For my brain this works so much better than a Pomodoro most of the time. What doesn't work great for my brain is remembering to stop and or start it back up all the time. Unfortunately, there's no way to manually adjust these times. If there was this app would be darn near perfect! Please add this feature! **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback! I completely understand how important it is to be able to edit logged times, and I appreciate you sharing your experience. I’ll definitely consider adding this feature in a future update. Thanks again for helping us improve Pomo Up! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2025-08-05* It actually helped me focus on my studies and the collaboration with my friends was nice although we weren’t together we still got work done.

Just one thing... *2025-04-04* As a Pomodoro timer, it works really well, great in fact! But this also has a stopwatch feature that I use even more and it tracks time and stats really well. You can start it, do your work, and then pause it and/or stop it when done. For my brain this works so much better than a Pomodoro most of the time.

It’s not that worthy ### 2/5 — ticking *2024-06-30* can’t stop ticking when timing is on. but if you silence then you won’t be notified when timer stops 🥲 I won’t be continuing the free subscription but love how it tracks study time! **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! You can stop the ticking sound by toggling the option in the top right corner of the interface. Stopping the ticking will not affect receiving the end notification. We appreciate your support and hope you continue to find the app useful for tracking your study time! ### 2/5 — 更新后之前的数据小组件都用不了了 *2024-04-03* 呃呃 **Developer response:** 可以发邮件反馈具体点的问题么？ ### 3/5 — Can’t Find the Widgets *2026-01-13* I just paid for the Pro Version specifically so I could add the Widgets pictured in the description to the Home Screen on my MacBook, but I don’t see any option to do that. The app itself works fine, but I was really hoping for those widgets and would not have purchased Pro if I knew I couldn’t get them. **Developer response:** Sorry about the confusion. On Mac, widgets are added to the desktop/Notification Center (not a “Home Screen”). Please make sure you’re on macOS Sonoma or later, then right-click the desktop → Edit Widgets. " For iPhone widgets, enable System Settings → Desktop & Dock → Widgets → “Use iPhone widgets.” If it still doesn’t show, please email me at hlai.manjun@gmail.com with your macOS version + screenshot and I’ll help. ### 3/5 — (Updated) Still good!

The default configuration is really uncomfortable and impossible to maintain, which makes the feature completely useless." ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Perfect App for My Writing Needs!!! *2026-08-27* This app is really understated and should be getting way more 5-star reviews and users. I’m honestly shocked that it hasn’t. I have it on my laptop and now on my phone too. It helped me finish writing a book in less than three weeks. ### 5/5 — Great FREE features *2026-08-12, version 6.3.0* Simple app for my Mac, it has the timer up the top of my screen next to the time and is exactly what I needed. I use the free version and it works like a charm. I would recommend this over using a website Pomodoro timer ### 5/5 — Hi *2026-05-30* A very good app ### 5/5 — Mac 端好用番茄钟 *2026-05-08* 简洁但是功能强大的番茄钟.已购入. ### 5/5 — Can we get AppleWatch App ? *2026-02-19, version 5.2.0* Great App so far , please make apple watch app ### 5/5 — Great tool *2026-01-04* Great tool ### 5/5 — Great *2025-12-01* I like the app, but how do you expand the widgets as shown above. I have an iPhone and doesn’t seem to have such an option ### 5/5 — Muy buena app *2025-10-22, version 5.0.0* Está muy bien para estudiar! ### 5/5 — Rezension *2025-10-11, version 5.0.0* It‘s really good for students and it helps to conzentrate! ### 5/5 — Love it *2025-09-17, version 3.7.0* Basic but good pomodoro app that is super easy and accessible to use on Mac. Use it multiple times a day. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
