### 2/5 — Yearly subscription for a timer??

*2025-10-04*

Not every app is a service. This app works offline & it doesn't require ongoing server costs, so it should be a PAY ONCE model. 

A yearly only subscription for a timer is insane. Finally more and more people are starting to realize this & are getting away from apps that overcharge with unnecessary subscriptions.

The only feature on this app that would be reasonable to charge for a subscription is the app & website blocker. The "flows" (really just timers with a simple todo list) should not. 

Some apps genuinely deserve subscription models, those with real server costs. Not this.

Also, the older icon was 100% better 😭💔

### 4/5 — The app is great

*2025-05-07*

I wish there was a reasonable priced lifetime subscription, everything requires a subscription now but I don’t see myself paying monthly for focus timer. If you don’t mind that, I suggest trying the app bc even though is simple it works really well

### 3/5 — Great App - Steep Price

*2025-05-06*

This is an incredible app in its simplicity. That being said, it’s not an app that i can use alone. It’s nice enough to use to compliment other scheduling apps, and that i would use it for, however, for the price its not worth it’s limited functionality.

### 5/5 — It’s so smooth

*2024-06-25*

The best way to describe using my flow is being in a smooth flow, not having to think… and there is no friction… it’s very smooth.And keeps me there.I don’t get off track or shift my mindset. This could be the ultimate tool to stay focused. It certainly is for me!! I recommend it to anyone who wants to optimize and be intentional about there life.I can’t think of a better tool for someone with ADD .Hats off to the creator for this elegant and valuable app.

### 5/5 — Perfect set of features

*2023-07-06*

Has everything needed in a Pomo app. Perfect. And simple privacy policy. Love it. 

Please add live activities or widgets

### 1/5 — Help manual

*2022-03-06, version 1.0*

How is this app supposed to work? Any help manual available anywhere?

### 5/5 — Simple, clean timer

*2022-01-03*

I needed an app that had a simple timer, with a simple interface, to simply track a minute under tension and a minute under rest, for lifting. Yes, I can do that with the click app. But if the clock app could do it this elegantly, well I wouldn’t be taking my time to write this review. For what I needed, magnifico.

### 1/5 — View does not fit iphone screen vertically

*2021-07-28, version 1.0*

The play button was cropped at the bottom
