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. ### 3/5 — Upgrade bug *2021-01-04, version 2020.5* I paid for premium and didn’t get the premium features. Deleted and reinstalled and it’s still sending me to the upgrade screen when I want to adjust the time. Is there something I’m doing wrong here? ### 1/5 — Money sucking *2020-10-01, version 2020.5* Paid for premium but app keeps asking me to pay over and over. I want a refund. ### 1/5 — Premium doesn’t work *2020-10-01, version 2020.5* I purchased the premium version so I could change the time settings but it still just tells me to purchase premium. I can’t use the premium features, it’s as if I’m still on the free version. Wasted money and a real PITA. Developers only contact is on LinkedIn which you need a premium account of $69 a month just to message them! In other words it is impossible to message the developers about this issue ### 1/5 — Always crashes *2020-10-01* Once it gets to the first break it crashes. Every single time! ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2020-09-29* Like any other users, I bought the app access the customization features. Unfortunately, the app is unresponsive to my purchase. Continues to pop up an ad stating I need to purchase the app. I bought the app again, I’ve deleted & reinstalled. The problem persist. ### 1/5 — Can’t select timer. Dumb. *2020-09-29* If I want to switch to 5 min timer, it should be easy to do. Seems impossible, stuck with 25 min timer. ### 1/5 — Premium version *2020-09-23, version 2020.4* I paid for unlock the premium version, but he keeps asking me to buy the premium version ... Very disappointing. Not recommended. ### 1/5 — Terrible , get a different app. *2020-09-11* I just started medical school and was looking for a pomodoro app . This app keeps asking me to purchase premium after I did . I even tried repurchasing it . I want to set my long break for 20 mins instead of 15min. Save your money and time and get a better designed app with less flaws . Waste of $3. ### 1/5 — In app purchase charges me and then does not work *2020-09-03* This should never happen. Looking at other reviews I am not the only one with this problem. ### 1/5 — Refused to respond *2020-09-02, version 2020.4* I purchased this app after it refuse to let me change times. It still refuses to chsnge times and asks me to purchase again. I’ve just wasted £2.99. Not happy. 🤨 ### 1/5 — Fix your glitch!!!! *2020-08-13* I bought the premium version •whenever I go to customize anything it tells me (again) that I need to upgrade to premium, •when I proceed as if I were going to upgrade (I know it won’t charge me again) it tells me I already bought it, would I like to get it again for free. • I say yes and it takes me to a new screen and back to the app •then I go to change the time of intervals •upon touching the places to adjust it tells me I have to upgrade to premium 🙄 ### 1/5 — Premium version *2020-08-08, version 2020.4* I paid for the Premium Version but it keeps asking me to buy the Premium Version when I want to change the times! ### 3/5 — Just upgraded ... won’t give me access *2020-08-06* I just upgraded and I can’t customize the time. You provide no other way to communicate with you other than this. You need a premium LinkedIn to send a message to you so what the heck? Frustrating. I’ll change my rating once you fix this . ### 2/5 — Can’t get paid sub to work *2020-07-11, version 2020.3* I paid for the ad free / set own times version but it doesn’t work. Every time I try to change the time it ask me to upgrade. Refund or fix please developer? Thanks ### 4/5 — Like the App but.... *2020-06-22* I just purchased the app but when i want to customize the timer is keeps asking me to purchase. I see the transaction has already been made. Can i get some help please? I’ll change my review accordingly. Ok. So now the timer does recognize i paid but when i clicked on rate the app it never took me back here. So 4 stars. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 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. ### 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 ### 1/5 — Wish I knew how to delete this app! *2021-02-22, version 2020.5* Can’t delete app from my phone and I’m being charged every day!! ### 1/5 — No timer sound *2021-01-26, version 2020.5* The only purpose of the timer is to be able to know when it goes off. I wouldn’t get it if I found it east to track time for myself. ### 1/5 — Not free *2020-11-23, version 2020.5* Garbage. The free content doesn’t provide any useful functionality. Should not be labeled free with in-app purchases. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Me encanta *2022-10-11, version 2020.5* Fácil de utilizar, hace su función principal. ### 5/5 — Paid for upgrade - still asks for upgrade *2020-07-15* Can't customize the timing. **Developer response:** Hello phitomia, version 2020.4 was just approved and released which should solve this problem however if you go to the menu and select Restore purchases this will grant you access immediately. ### 5/5 — Simply perfect pimodoro *2020-06-25* The essence of pimodoro is to avoid distraction and get on with your work. This app embodies that essence does this one thing, timing work sessions with breaks in between, very well. ### 5/5 — Exactly what was needed *2020-06-22, version 2020.3* This app is an amazing no frills version. It allows you to adjust your Pomodoro and break durations. It’s super easy to use. The design of the app and features contribute to the no distractions sensibility. Highly recommended! ### 5/5 — Great developer open to ideas! *2020-06-04, version 2020.2* I fed back a suggestion and before I knew it the developer contacted me and included it in the next update! ### 5/5 — What the heck did you do to your icon design lol *2020-06-04, version 2020.2* Your new app icon design looks like a spaghetti strap tank top. I liked your last design better. You’re app is great tho ### 5/5 — Perfect minimalist tool *2020-02-19* This is exactly what I was looking for: a basic pomodoro app with timers for work and breaks, without any other bells and whistles. I love the simple, uncluttered design of this app, and it’s very easy to use. Would definitely recommend to anyone who needs a little help focusing. ### 5/5 — Pomodoro *2020-01-17, version 2019.1* Just used today for first time. Must click to start the timer. And it blocks texts until break unless you decide to look. So far so good ### 5/5 — Very useful Pomodoro productivity app *2019-12-11, version 2019.1* Fixed! It works well. Thank you very much! ### 5/5 — Already helping me organize! *2019-09-03, version 3.1* Just started using this app and it is already helping me focus! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
