### 4/5 — nice

*2020-01-28, version 1.0.1*

that's a great app, but it's a pity that there is no option to choose several days for the habit
I need to do some things twice a week, so it's a problem for me

### 4/5 — Very very basic; needs something more

*2018-12-03, version 1.0.1*

Simple and no frills; exactly what I needed for this aspect of productivity.

It’s a little *too* minimalist though. I know it’s a lot to ask but some neat looking graphs of your progress would round out the app.

I found a bug. If you’re currently in the middle of a session when it flips over to a new day/week/month/etc (at 5pm if you’re in my time zone) your old time will be preserved into the new week

### 3/5 — So much potential

*2016-06-29, version 1.0.1*

I really wanted to love this app, and thought it would help me. However, despite its benefits, there are a few shortcomings that completely override them. It appears that the developer created the app using an internal clock set to a European time zone, because there is no way to modify it and I only get a notification daily at 5 pm central (US). If you could add a way to adjust the time of the notification, I would give it five stars. If you added a few other ways to edit and customize it, I would definitely spend like $3 on it.

### 4/5 — Fabulous app could use some more options

*2016-03-23, version 1.0.1*

I love the minimalistic design, but there are few options that I'd love to see in future releases. 
1. Apple Watch App! 
2. Wider range of times (from 1 minute)
3. Custom reminders for specific activities.

### 4/5 — Great design

*2016-01-23, version 1.0.1*

Nice simple design, but would be great if you could see how you are doing each week/ month. Only says if you have an unbroken streak. Also be good to see some percentages.

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2015-06-27, version 1.0.1*

Just what I needed! Very simple (minimal) and solid at the same time.

### 5/5 — ☆☆☆☆☆

*2015-05-15, version 1.0.1*

Great app, thanks for minimalistic approach

### 4/5 — Motivating, but one suggestion...

*2015-04-15, version 1.0.1*

I'd like the option to enter time in manually as it's not always practical to have my phone with me or I forget to run the timer.

### 4/5 — Very hand but please add hours and days

*2015-03-18, version 1.0.1*

Hello,

I just came across this all and found it to be very minimalistic and useful.

The only concern I have is that I want to add that I want to walk every hour for a minute like they show in apple watch.

So please add the option of number of times the action needs to do every hour.

Thanks.

### 5/5 — Very useful!

*2015-03-10, version 1.0.1*

I downloaded this and begin to use it right away. It's incredibly useful.

### 1/5 — Free only 3 pledges?

*2019-04-21, version 1.0.1*

Love this simpleness but had to uninstall bc can only do 3 (are you kidding me)

### 1/5 — Great ideas but full of bugs

*2017-12-08, version 1.0.1*

Nice clean and easy to use but doesn’t keep a track of your sessions.

### 1/5 — Beautiful but buggy

*2017-10-01, version 1.0.1*

I have the paid version of this app and I've enjoyed its simplicity and looks for two years.

However, it has limitations (you have to choose from a small menu, so you can't have 40 minutes every weekday, it has to be 45 minutes a day or 4 or 5 hours a week) and a few bugs - and under iOS11 it no longer works, seemingly unable to play its success sound after the phone screen has turned off.

The developer website listed in iTunes no longer exists, so I assume the author has taken the money and run away. The free version was still nice up to iOS10, but I would not recommend anyone buy the in-app purchase any more - it doesn’t work and you cannot get support.

### 1/5 — Fail

*2015-09-20, version 1.0.1*

Looks beautiful, but my goal is to study for 16 hours a week and I can't set this as a target as for some reason you've limited us to a short list of options with the maximum being 10 hours per week. Oh well, I guess I'll have to find an alternative...

### 2/5 — I so want to give this 5 stars but...

*2020-06-26, version 1.0.1*

I SO LOVE this idea. It’s EXACTLY what I need. Excellent idea, underwhelming execution. I would like to be able to choose the exact number of minutes and seconds I want to work on a given task and would like to know (in the center of the circle, where it is now) exactly how much time is left for me to work at it (or how much time I have left before completion of a task). I need that flexibility. PLEASE add these abilities. Then I will most joyfully give you a 5 out of 5! Thank you for your effort to put this together.

### 2/5 — Inflexible

*2019-10-25, version 1.0.1*

Really good concept that could be massively more relevant with a couple of extra tweaks. Using it for day, a morning routine is useless as the only time options are 3,5,10+ minutes. If you want to tie yourself to a shower in say, 8 minutes, you can’t.

### 2/5 — No tracking feature

*2019-09-09, version 1.0.1*

It is simple and aesthetic. It vibrates when the timed task meets the goal. However there is no tracking feature, so you have no way of knowing how many days you kept the habit going, or any type of history. If there is no tracking, how does it motivate? I am hoping for an app update.

### 2/5 — App crashes and restrictive

*2018-09-03, version 1.0.1*

Can’t customize the amount of time I spend on each task. Also it crashes when I add a second task. 
Love the idea of this app. Hopefully the developer updates it.

### 2/5 — too restrictive

*2017-06-22, version 1.0.1*

This is the right idea for what I wanted, but it doesn't give you the freedom to personalize time spent. For example, I wanted to spend 8 hours a week on something, because that's the actual amount of time I have and ought to spend on that task. But my options are 5 or 10. That means I can either set a goal I can't meet, or try to exceed my goal by three hours each week. Seems like that defeats the whole puprpose of the app.

### 3/5 — Not bad

*2016-07-05, version 1.0.1*

It's a neat little app and appreciate the simplicity. But would like to request a couple of things. Please add an option for "1 minute" duration or better yet allow to enter custom. Also, it's weird not seeing the seconds all the time, why only for the first minute? Should be like Apple timer. And the fill ring doesn't update properly. I had timer that was 70% done but the ring only drew about 40%. Please make improvements!

### 5/5 — Better than pomodoro

*2020-09-20, version 1.0.1*

Everything I've ever wanted from a repeated-task-time-tracker and not a thing more.

### 5/5 — First time I leave a review on Day One

*2020-09-10*

Elegant, minimalist, efficient. I couldn’t fault this app if I tried. Thanks for a perfect little app!!

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2020-08-09, version 1.0.1*

You’re the first app on appstore I purchased. The best!  😍😍😍 Wanna work with you!

### 5/5 — Customizable time please

*2019-05-02, version 1.0.1*

I’ve been waiting for this feature for years ☹️. Would you guys kindly make this possible? It would be very useful to be able to customize time for task.

### 5/5 — Pending

*2019-02-10, version 1.0.1*

Pending

### 5/5 — More people should use this app

*2019-01-22, version 1.0.1*

I love a simple design app. This one, waaaay to simple.

There's even no "setting" page where usually developer says "rate this app" or "here check our other app" or whatever. 

Very straightforward, I really enjoyed using this app.

### 5/5 — Fantastic! 😊

*2017-11-22, version 1.0.1*

I'm really enjoying this app, I'm surprised that I only discovered it now! Very useful for maintaining focus and getting things done. It has a beautiful interface and allows you to maintain streaks on each activity. It's great, well done!

### 5/5 — Life changing app

*2016-09-29, version 1.0.1*

It's now been 100 days that I have been using this app and it has truly changed my life. I am more disciplined, I can track the few activities and habits that I wanted to inculcate in my life and I am very very happy with the progress I have made. 
I love the UI and how utterly minimalistic it is.  

Another absolute plus with this app is, is the fact that it's timer based rather than the other reminder based habit forming apps.

A big thank you to the developer for coming up with this beauty of an app, you have made a difference, at least in my life.

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2016-04-18, version 1.0.1*

This is EXACTLY what I've been looking for. A simple app for tracking my weekly goals. Please make this available for the Apple Watch.

### 5/5 — I'm not allowed to buy the app

*2016-03-07, version 1.0.1*

I've been trying to buy the app but it never display the purchase message. Can you guys check what's going on? I would like to request more larger names for activities and more interval of times. Half an hour, one hour and a half, one hour and 20 min, one hour and 40 min.
