## Most critical reviews (3 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Can’t start the time, does explain basic features

*2022-02-18*

I’ve used a couple of these app, trying them. At first I loved the simplicity, how it was just break and work. Nothing fancy. But then came the time to start it and it just didn’t. I tried double tapping, holding down and waiting for the numbers to move to show the timer started. Still it just didn’t work. I can’t hold the timer button why I work either ( which seemed the only way for it to work). Then I tryed to look for some information button or feature ( I thought maybe I just didn’t figure it out and it’s something very simple) but no. 

It’s sad cause I loved the aesthetic of it and the simplicity in the time but if I can’t start it or use it, it’s kind of useless. And on top of that, if there is no easy way for me to check how the different features work [ like a help or info button] then that’s even more unreliable for me as a user. 

I’ll keep the app, see if futur updates fix those issues. Maybe am unlucky and it’s a bug in my phone [ I really want to give this app a change cause again love the design]

### 2/5 — Needs work

*2020-12-17, version 1.2*

Pros: can customize times
Cons: seems to not work if you navigate away from the app. Sort of defeats the purpose.

### 4/5 — No notifications

*2025-04-27, version 1.3*

I work on the computer, and it’s important for me to take breaks every 20 minutes, but I don’t get notifications that it’s time for a break
