## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2016-01-13*

I purchased it since I loved the Mac version.  However, this iPhone version stops working when I lock the phone.  Like other people mentioned, it would not work unless a phone was unlocked (i.e. the screen was on) at all time.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2015-09-08*

I jumped at the chance to buy this for iOS because I love the Mac app - it doesn't work! Every time the screen goes to sleep or you switch apps the timer stops. Their Mac app might be worth $2, but this one isn't worth the storage space on your device.

### 1/5 — Unusable for me

*2015-08-29*

Love the Mac version, but functionality just isn't there for iOS. Appreciate keeping things simple, but no settings (as on MAS version) for auto-starting next session or scheduling longer break after multiple sessions is weak. Still, wouldn't be a deal breaker...if timer didn't stop counting down when screen was locked/asleep! This makes the app useless for me. YMMV

### 3/5 — Great little App

*2020-03-13, version 1.6*

Good to see development on this continues.

Send feedback link is not working, so I’ll include it here:

1. Dark mode is certainly welcome - kinda wish the app icon would change as well, or that you could control this.
2. Would be nice to be able to export your data at some point in a CSV file
3. The bar at the bottom with the three dots seems superfluous. Would be neater without it.

### 3/5 — Landscape Orientation on iPad needed

*2017-11-02*

I downloaded the app for use on iPad, and it only works in portrait orientation. This is disappointing. Most people using it on iPad probably has it propped up on a smart cover dock, and supporting landscape orientation is not exactly rocket science.

### 4/5 — Helpful

*2015-04-16*

Simple easy-to-use no frills. I am using this for 90 minute work intervals. I like that it has no pause function so you need to finish your interval or start over. This is not a timer it's a productivity tool.

Could use a sound alert to let you know when to take your breaks.

### 5/5 — Best Pomodoro app out there

*2017-09-06*

This app is a dream. I'm also an iOS dev so I really see this as a work of craftsmanship. But of course, I gotta give my feature requests!

I'd love a pause button (sometimes people interrupt me but I don't want to stop the timer) and a way to see previous months on the calendar.

### 5/5 — Simple and works

*2016-10-03*

Simple and works. What else needs saying.

### 5/5 — Just enough

*2016-08-15*

This app is very simple and uncluttered, without a lot of bells and whistles and options. It doesn't even have a pause button. Still, the design is elegant. I think the simplicity helps keep me focused on work, and discourages cheating on my pomodoros. So, it's just what I wanted.

### 5/5 — Excellent, simple app to improve productivity

*2016-06-27, version 1.3.2*

Excellent, simple app to improve productivity.
