Kept getting a -1 in the timer

The screenshots looked nice, but I didn't have a pleasant experience. First time I launched it I couldn't start the timer.
The fact that it plays sounds even when the phone is in silent mode is annoying.

Great, But....

Best Pomodoro app I've found, since it let's me take a break even if you finish early (love it!!)

But I wish you could enter ALL your tasks for the day. Please add to app!!

Doesn't work as advertised

It doesn't run properly in the background. Whenever I go back to the app it carries on counting down as if no time has passed.

Needs improvement

If it was a free app I would give 4-5 stars because the interface is well designed and pretty for the eyes. But once it is a paid app, I can't ignore the problems that I found:
- lack of multi-tasking/background for the counter: if you leave the app (press home) it stops the counter, even the description of the app says the opposite
- sound issues when you are listening something and switch over and back to the app
- counter stops sometimes even when the phone sleeps (lock screen)!

If there was no bug/issues like above this could deserve 4-5 stars.

does what it says but need to clear history

I like that you can specify a task and have a record of it. Also nice that it works while my ipod is asleep. I would like to be able to do more with the history (e.g., clear it, save it, organize it, export it).
