App not working well after last update

Will notify you that the timer went off early or the time won’t move at all. I’ve been a big fan of this app for almost a year now but I had to delete it cause it’s just not working anymore. I’m using it on iPad not on phone cause I don’t want to have to keep checking my phone constantly. Idk how well it works there but either try it on your phone or just get another app until they fix it. If it were to work I’d give it a 5/5. It’s a great app. I just hope the developers see this review so they fix it. Please please fix it. This app has changed the way I work-it’s a shame it doesn’t work.

Response from developer

Hey Nelly2dhxh, Thanks for using Tomato Timer and I'm sorry that you had a bad experience. If you wouldn’t mind reaching out to support@tomatotimerapp.com, I can take a closer look at what went wrong. Thanks again, Adam 🍅

Love this product

I’ve tried these sorts of timers in the past and didn’t really find them helpful. This one is perfect! It’s simple and does help with my focus. Other options took too long to learn or promoted distraction with all the fancy features. No frills or bells and whistles with this one, but it has all the functionality I need. I love it!

Simple and Easy! Free to use. Very few issues.

I don’t normally write reviews, but this app definitely deserves credit. It’s super simple and easy to use. The interface is cute, as well as the free options are super nice to have. I enjoyed it so much that I bought the upgrade for a little extra nicety as well as giving to the creator.

A few things. When I am done with a project, I can’t delete that project. It’s file still kind of exists, but it’s completely empty. And when I am working on a current project, my current task doesn’t pop up. It kind of stinks because I like being able to see what I need to work on to stay on track. Very minor, but would be nice to include, but overall super awesome app! Highly recommend using it!

Perfect productivity timer app

This is THE best productivity timer app I’ve seen on the App Store- and I’ve used a lot, including Forest and Flora.
Why? Two reasons.
1) It is SUPER simple. There are no fancy, unnecessary details or gimmicks. There’s a one-time purchase for a couple extra features that are useful but not necessary to use the main product. As a productivity app, it shouldn’t overwhelm you and Tomato Timer does a great job keeping it minimal.

2) I love the “what are working on?” prompt for when you turn on the timer. I particularly like that it allows me to write in my one specific task I’m working on, because it primes me to work solely on that task until it’s done, as opposed to multitasking.

This app is for students and remote workers alike. Can’t recommend it enough. I just hope the developer keeps the interface as simple as it currently is.

Simple, Functionable, Efficient

This is such a slick tool. It has lots of little tweaks to make it fit me. Easy to set up and use, although i did have to go back to store to get info on zen mode. I am very impressed with this tidy little app and it is already feeling like an essential tool to help me with my distraction problems
