### 2/5 — Syncing doesn't seem to exist

*2022-08-01*

The reason I bought this app is specifically to replace Focus; the primary feature I need is the syncing between iOS (specifically, the Apple Watch) and macOS. (When I walk away from my computer after starting a break, I want the "break over" notification on my watch, and the ability to extend the timer, etc.)

I've installed this app on both my iOS and macOS machines, and have yet to see anything like syncing of the timer; there also doesn't seem to be any relevant option in the settings?

I do see that the developer added a menubar item, though, as requested by the previous reviewer; I have to at least give one extra star for that sort of developer attention. Hopefully they adress the syncing, then, as well!

### 4/5 — Great app just not 100% sure how to use it

*2021-07-15*

I’ve created tasks and setup how many cycles I want for each task. I’ve started my task, but now what?? I have no clue.. When am I supposed to finish my task?? I’ve gone through 6 cycles on a 4 cycle task and it didn’t stop on its own. What does finishing a task even do?? What is a cycle?? I have so many questions!!!

### 4/5 — In app purchase said free but I was charged >$20 via Apple Pay.

*2020-12-31, version 1.49*

This is corrupt.

### 5/5 — The strike of balance

*2023-03-18*

I have tried many pomodoro apps very simplistic and other with a great deal of features. I find this one as a soft spot for me. It strikes the balance in necessary feature without introducing complexity. A great app for individual focus

### 5/5 — Great Pomodoro App!

*2021-11-18*

The sync between watch and phone is perfect!

### 5/5 — I like it

*2021-06-07, version 1.62*

Simple, well designed, one of very few apps that works on apple watch. Doesn't sync active session to the watch, but does sync that data, which is good enough for me. Thank you!

### 5/5 — nice

*2021-02-24, version 1.57*

### 5/5 — 1

*2021-01-28*

The best pomodoro on iOS hands down. I’ve tried a handful. If you stumble across the app and have been in search of something for time management / time awareness, you can stop your search now.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much! I will continue to make this app better.

### 5/5 — Best Pomodoro Timer I've Used...

*2021-01-26, version 1.54*

I've tried a few others, but pomodoro timers haven't really stuck with me... until now. There's a combination of really smart features here, and a simple design that makes that functionality available without any fuss. I love the iOS14 widget, and the fact that you can repeat completed tasks— I've set up a morning working routine as a series of pomodoros that I can rerun each morning. And it syncs across devices! TomoNow has quickly become an essential part of my toolkit.

### 5/5 — beautiful app

*2020-12-31, version 1.49*

5 star， nice ui and sounds

## Most praised reviews (2 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — great app.

*2020-09-27*

love the syncing between devices and the slick plots.

I just really wish it had a menu bar timer so you could still see your progress while the app is minimized.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! I will try to add this in a future version.

### 5/5 — Promising new Pomodoro app

*2020-06-03*

Like GTD apps, the best Pomodoro app is the one that works for you. I think TomoNow 2 is going to be that app for me. Its beautiful, modern design, gesture-based user interface, and just the right amount of task management are all to be applauded. So far in my experience, though, the iCloud syncing (an IAP feature) isn’t yet reliable, so I’m using the app on my iPad only. I would also like to see support or Siri Shortcuts in the future, which would further modernize the app.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback↖(^ω^)↗
I will continue to make TomoNow better!

(There is a bug that prevents iCloud to sync, I will fix it in the next version. )
