## What is Pomodoro Focus Timer?

Whether your studying to ace that test, starting a habit of reading more, sketching more, or increasing your word count, Pomodoro Focus Timer offers simple features to help you recharge your focus and stay on the task at hand. Pomodoro Focus Timer has a minimal design to keep distractions away. It is an effective tool to retain motivation and focus.

This app uses the Original Pomodoro Technique which is proven to keep you focusing on your work. Break up what seems like impossible tasks into short chunks and be surprised at how much you can get done.

Decide what the task you want to work on is (ex. studying, writing, reading, note-taking, drawing, etc.). Focus sessions are pre-set to 25 minutes, simply press the play button to begin the timer. Roll up your sleeves and get to work, focus on your chosen task until the timer rings. The break sessions, which are pre-set to 5 minutes, will begin. Take the time to walk away from you work, and give your brain a chance to relax until the timer signals that it’s time to get back to work. Your amount of focus sessions completed are being tracked. Once you have completed 4, you deserve a longer break. Your pre-set Long Break session will begin to countdown, when the timer rings the cycle starts all over again.

Premium users now have the ability customize their sessions and set reminders so they can keep the motivation going for those tasks and projects that may take a couple sessions to accomplish.

### 1/5 — Stopped working

*2023-09-18, version 2020.5*

I’ve paid for the ad free version of this and it’s stopped working. It gets around 10 minutes into the timer and then the timer resets. Not good!

### 1/5 — Bug

*2023-01-22, version 2020.5*

It had some bug that wouldn't allow me to start the breaktime.

### 5/5 — Me encanta

*2022-10-11, version 2020.5*

Fácil de utilizar, hace su función principal.

### 1/5 — Lots of Bugs

*2022-08-26, version 2020.5*

Impossible to use the timer and very glitchy. I regret buying it

### 1/5 — Not good

*2022-01-12, version 2020.5*

I got the paid version of this App. Doesn’t even start breaks and focus times automatically during a session. Doesn’t let you edit the number of focus blocs into one session.

### 1/5 — Almost zero functionality unless you pay

*2021-11-30, version 2020.5*

It may be good but I’m not paying £2.99 to find out.

### 1/5 — This is not a free app if you want your own times!

*2021-11-20, version 2020.5*

Thought I would give this app a go to keep focused.  But you have to use the times set unless you want to pay £2.49 to change them! Rip off.

### 4/5 — Love it

*2021-10-25, version 2020.5*

Amazing for focussing, i get so much done, i love the fact the i can track how much ive done but it glitched like a minute ago and pretty much skipped through all my sessions and added a bunch to my stats and it wouldnt stop till i closed the app and opened it again 😭 but apart from that i adore this app

### 1/5 — I’m not paying for a alarm clock

*2021-06-29*

It’s only setting is for 25 min. If you want to adjust, you have to pay. No thanks

### 2/5 — Refreshes on its own

*2021-04-09*

Uhm. I need to get work done and I want to keep track of how many pomodoro I’m doing. It refreshes on its own so I have to start it all over again and on top of that, it hella wants you to buy their premium, Bc you can change the settings. Anyways I’m deleting this.
