It may take a couple of minutes for Pro to show on the watch. If you still have trouble, please reach out: support@silofocus.com Also if it worked, if you would kindly update your rating / review. Thanks! ### 4/5 — One the better pomodoro apps when it works *2022-12-12* So far, I really like this app. The look and functionality is great. But I find that I’m not getting notifications at the end of sessions. Often, I’ll go to check how much time is left in a session only to find that it ended a while ago and I wasn’t notified. :( ### 4/5 — Please suggest how to get early bird offer *2021-05-16* Hi. Description says that there is early bird offer - $0.99 one time payment for pro. But in app there is only monthly 1.99$ subscription. Please suggest is offer still available? **Developer response:** Hi, the early bird offer is still on as of today! Not sure why you were seeing $1.99–should be $0.99 in the U.S. Pricing will vary depending on your country. Please email support@silofocus.com and we’ll make it right. ### 3/5 — Needs work *2021-02-14* - no notifications at the end of a break - watch complication is not visible on watch face, though it is there if you tap it - when you view your stats on the watch there’s no way to get back to the main screen without force quitting the app **Developer response:** Update is here! Let us know what you think. ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2020-11-02, version 1.2.2* There is no audible or physical indication of the timer being up. Waste of money. ### 1/5 — Does not stop *2020-09-01, version 1.2.2* The app fails to perform its most basic function: stopping the timer in the app does not stop the background process, so your watch will notify you constantly from then on out. This is on the latest Apple Watch. ### 1/5 — No da notificaciones *2020-03-29* Supongo que la idea es que no te distraiga pero en el Apple Watch no te avisa cuando terminas un ciclo, tienes que estar constantemente viendo cuanto tiempo falta, eso a mi no me sirve **Developer response:** The app has an all new update! Please check it out and revisit your review. Appreciate all your support! ### 3/5 — Good app but needs some improvements *2020-03-25* I have ADHD and was looking for an app to help me focus on my work. Pros : - you can plan up to 10 cycles - you don’t have to follow the 25/10 original method (the timers can be personalized) - there’s an alarm to tell you to take a break and then to go back to work (and it’s a different sound) Cons : - the time progression is represented by a clock image but the precise timing isn’t indicated (I personally need it to keep motivation) - you have to unlock your phone to see the app, you can’t see the timer from the locked screen => it makes you loose time to check during a session + unlocking your screen can tempt you to use your phone I hope it will help you improve your app 😊 And sorry for my English **Developer response:** The app has an all new update! Please check it out and revisit your review. Appreciate your support! ### 1/5 — Buggy and inconsistent *2019-06-14* Despite removing and reinstalling the app , this app is buggy and inconsistent. Some days it works, others it doesn’t. At the start of most days, before I’ve even used the app, the Apple Watch version claims I’ve already done 1.5 hours of work which a obviously untrue. I don’t care about tracking daily totals so this isn’t a big deal but this is probably frustrating to those who do use such a feature. The various Apple Watch complications often don’t refresh the time remaining in a session which defeats the point of raising the watch to monitor the time remaining. These should update instantly, like any other complication. Often the Apple Watch doesn’t vibrate when it’s supposed to despite having “prominent haptic feedback” enabled and the vibration pattern often isn’t very strong anyways. A suggestion for a future update might be to allow configuration of different vibration patterns as the same vibration patterns as every other Watch app are easy to ignore. Perhaps even differentiate between working sessions and break sessions? I use “silent mode” and “do not disturb” on my iPhone when working however the Apple Watch should still vibrate unless in theatre mode. **Developer response:** All new update! Please check it out and revisit your review. Appreciate your support! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Restore not working *2024-12-15* Restore purchase link not working when tapping it, a trick to buy again the app?? **Developer response:** The app is no longer a subscription purchase—it is a one time payment. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2022-09-12* You set the timer going, that works. But once it reaches the end you get no notification or vibration on your watch and the app seems to close. When you open it back up again it resets the timer. You’d think for a simple concept it should be easy to get right. Avoid **Developer response:** Hey, sorry about your bad experience. Please email contact@silofocus.com — I’ll be happy to troubleshoot this and offer you a promo code for your trouble. ### 1/5 — Subscription trap *2022-04-10* No complications without a subscription. No sync between watch and phone. One star. I don’t like “creative” descriptions that avoid the truth. ### 1/5 — Бред *2022-02-04* Забавно, заплатил за приложение. А теперь еще про функции за подписку.Вы серьезно? ### 1/5 — Waste of a dollar *2021-12-13* I purchased this app for a dollar, and as soon as i opened it, it wouldn't let me do anything taskwise unless i pay for a monthly subscription! Plus, the pomodoro timer does not show you the current time (not even sure if its working), and if you pause the timer, you're not sure if you're actually pausing or resetting the timer. Very Frustrating! **Developer response:** Sorry for your bad experience. It should say “paused” when the session is paused. I’ll do my best to make the experience better. Also will be happy to send a refund for your dissatisfaction. ### 1/5 — No complications *2021-10-20* Doesn’t let you use watch complications unless you subscribe. Who wants to buy a subscription to a timer?! **Developer response:** Hi there! There are complications. The subscription gives you access to more complications and the to-do list functionality. ### 1/5 — Can’t find complications *2021-06-10* Where are the Apple Watch complications? Can’t find !!!!!!!! **Developer response:** I’ll help you out with this, please reach out to support@silofocus.con ### 1/5 — Doble pago *2021-03-28* Ya había comprado la app hace años y ahora se ha vuelto De suscripción lo que me obliga a pagar nuevamente **Developer response:** All new update! Please check it out and revisit your review. Appreciate your support! ### 1/5 — Pathetic *2021-02-20* A very bad app . Must be removed from the store . Too many crashes and glitches . Developer Isint making any updates **Developer response:** The app has an all new update! Please check it out and revisit your review. Appreciate your support! ### 1/5 — No complication *2020-12-18* The description states it has complications for the AW. It did not have one for the interface I use. Would like a refund please.’ **Developer response:** All new watch-complications are here! Please check it out and revisit your review. Appreciate your help! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Feedback *2022-10-26* - the way the subscription is present is a turn off. Find a way that is less frustrating to new users. I spent 5 minutes trying to figure out the features only to realize they can’t be interacted with at all. I thought the app was broken. - add a numerical timer. I like the aesthetic, but I also like to know the exact time left. - sync the Apple Watch and iPhone app. I set a timer on one, the timer should be going on the other. That’s the deal breaker for me, personally. Giving five stars because previous reviews are unfair and this app is one of the better pomodoro apps I’ve tried, just dragged down by its subscription presentation and the lack of a numerical display. It’s been more than a year so an update is unlikely, but I hope you consider the above if you do update it. ### 5/5 — Great watch app *2022-06-28* Free version is great and met all my Pomodoro needs! ### 5/5 — Nothing to complain *2021-04-20, version 2.0.1* Can’t believe that this simple app allows me to create tasks in a single touch. Super easy to use. ### 5/5 — Crashes immediately when tried as a complication. *2020-06-26* Crashes. Such a waste of money. **Developer response:** All new update is here! ### 5/5 — Perfect *2020-05-23, version 1.2.2* Simple, adjustable pomodoro timer with a no-frills complication for Apple Watches. Exactly what I needed. ### 5/5 — Love it *2020-05-02* I love the app, it does what it claims to do and it does it well. Only thing I would want -are complications for the newer watch faces (had to dig to find it only to see it was on a few older ones) and a way to see a countdown timer rather than the ticks the app currently has. Thanks a ton! ### 5/5 — Sleek, intuitive and does exactly what it promises *2020-04-21* After plowing through numerous Pomodoro timer apps for a study/focus app that could integrate nicely with my Apple Watch, I have finally found The One. Really sleek and intuitive design. Also great haptics for the Watch - it gives a small vibration and ping at the end of each focus/rest period. For some reason, none of the other apps seem to do this!? Overall, insanely good value, I can’t fault this app. Thank you so much!! ☺️ ### 5/5 — 提醒时有时无 *2020-03-08* iwatch到点了的提醒，有时有，有时没有，不会像计时器一样，到了会中止手机上的视频。很鸡肋，后悔买了。 居然一星发不了，要默认五星呀，这作法…… ### 5/5 — Clean and easy *2020-01-16* Works perfectly and their support team is a charm! Now I can finally focus on my study’s! Clean look and all the features you need. **Developer response:** Thank you very much! This is encouragement to make the app even better! ### 5/5 — apple watch上最好用的番茄钟软件 *2019-09-11* apple watch上最好用的番茄钟软件，如果你有用番茄钟学习的习惯，还是很推荐购买的 **Developer response:** 非常感谢你。 这鼓励我使应用程序变得更好！ --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
