App lies about not having ads

The app description says this app does not have ads. As other reviewers noted, it actually has ads - fairly obnoxious full screen interstitial ads. If you install this and don’t like the bait and switch, make sure to report the app.

Make shorter pomodoro options

Everything about this app is really good, love the simple interface. However, I would prefer tha it be possible to set up pomodoro options shorter than 15 minutes (eg, 5 and higher, like other categories). Good app otherwise, perfect for my purposes.

Great App, But I have Ads

How Do I Get Rid of These Ads?

I just got an advertisement

The app description clearly states free forever, no ads. I just opened up the app to use it again and got an advertisement. Whatever!

Pretty great

I love the clean interface and the lack of clutter. Like other reviewers, I am thrown off by the lack of variety in alarm sounds (two are shrieking bells, one is a single bell quietly dinging, and one is a very soft series of tones that reminds me of a radio broadcast. That's it!) I also can't find a way to display the timer on my locked screen despite having Live Activities enabled. Live Activities have been available since iOS 16 so if you, reader, are past that and you gave the app notification permissions, that's not likely to be your problem either lol.

That said, I still do like the straightforward interface and the low amount of data collection. Thanks for that. Consider this review feedback more than criticism. :)

Thank you so much for the thoughtful feedback! We’re really glad you like the clean, simple interface and the low amount of data collection. You’re absolutely right about the alarm sounds — we’re planning to improve this and add more variety. If possible, could you please send us a few examples of the types of sounds you would like to have in the app? You can email them to usefulapps43@gmail.com. It would be very helpful for us. We’ll also look into the Lock Screen / Live Activities timer issue on iOS and work on improving it in an upcoming update. Thanks again for sharing this as helpful feedback!

Nice free app to start

Text should say “Stay focused for XX minutes” with “for XX minutes” on second line. Support for light, dark, clear, and tinted app icon modes would be most appreciated. Current fixed light color app sticks out like a sore thumb. Multi-color blended backgrounds (like Streaks app) and custom images for backgrounds with simple image controls such as brightness would be nice to have.

Does what you need without BS

This does pretty much everything you’d need a timer app to do without unnecessary feature bloat or in app purchases. The UI is simple and easy to use; the app keeps track of, and lets you change the number of cycles until a long break; you can change the duration of the cycles and breaks; and you can change/disable the alarm sound.

The only thing’s I might recommend adding are a check-list feature and the ability to see the timer on the lock screen. Though, even without those I’d still recommend the app.

Thank you so much for the thoughtful review and the 5-star rating! I’m really glad the app feels simple, useful, and not overloaded. A checklist feature is a great suggestion and I’ll keep it in mind for future updates. Also, the Lock Screen timer is already supported through Live Activities on compatible iOS versions. If it’s not showing up, please make sure the app is updated and Live Activities are enabled in iOS settings. I’ll also look into making this feature easier to discover. Thanks again!

Wonderfully minimal

An aesthetically pleasing Pomodoro timer. It’s simple, clean, and just works. Minimal data collection too 👌. Thank you for making this app

Thank you so much! I’m really glad the app feels clean, simple, and reliable for you. I also appreciate you noticing the minimal data collection — privacy is an important part of the app’s design. Thanks again for using it!

So close to great

The app is wonderfully lightweight and minimal. Unfortunately the timer sound mimics an analog kitchen timer and is very unpleasant. The two changes I would love to see would be:
1. Make the timer sound customizable
2. Change the color of the timer when it shifts from work to break time

Thank you so much for your kind words and thoughtful feedback. We really appreciate it. Your suggestions are valuable, and we will definitely take them into consideration. In particular, the ideas of making the timer sound customizable and changing the timer color when switching from work time to break time are both very helpful. If you have any specific ideas about what kind of sound effects you would like to hear, we would be very happy if you shared them with us by email: usefulapps43@gmail.com Thanks again for helping us improve the app.
