App summary

Analyze keywords

There are six steps in the original technique
1. Decide on the task to be done.
2. Set the Pomodoro timer (traditionally to 25 minutes).
3. Work on the task.
4. End work when the timer rings and put a checkmark on a piece of paper.
5. If you have fewer than four checkmarks, take a short break (3–5 minutes) and then return to step 2; otherwise continue to step 6.
6. After four Pomodoros, take a longer break (15–30 minutes), reset your checkmark count to zero, then go to step 1.

Update: The app seems too finicky with notifications. No matter the phone setting I can't depend on the app to notify my at break time. Refocus works bit break usually does not work to notify me. Minus one more star. ** They want a review too quickly. I started using the app less than a day ago, so I will have to give a review in a bit. It's too soon.

By far, I liked this app better compared to similar apps. But please add 52/17 rule as well (I can't manually add that because short breaks are max 15min & can't be set to 0 as well) bug: countdown notification won't terminate after exiting app or exiting/stoping pomodoro, Bug2: app gets killed in background after a few minutes(I made sure to take all steps to keep it in background, but that doesn't help at all)

What I love especially is the visuals of this app! Beautifully crafted idle visualization :) Otherwise it is doing its job - setting customizable pomodoro sprints for my work day and displaying records. One important issue that I want to report is, I lost all my previous records of pomodoros this week.. No app crash, nothing specific happened, all my data was just set back to zero. (+I couldn't find any in-app error reporting for this issue)
