2024-11-19 | e. manuel | non-intrusive. i like it. if there's a way to sync with a web app, it's be greatest. ü | |
2024-10-09 | Mohau Kekana | It's a good app I say I browsed through your website very professionally. If there's any rook for improvement I'd say add a streak count | |
2024-07-29 | Jesse Locke | 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. | |
2024-05-25 | WebFlyer0 | 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) | |
2024-03-01 | ceren kayalar | 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) | |
2024-02-04 | Maryam | Great, I love it! Love the analysis, love the categories and love how you can stop midway through a pomdoro if you have to do something. (Too many apps have the guilt/punishment mechanism if you stop halfway through, which has its own appeal I suppose, but sometimes I just have to leave! Don't punish me for that.) Just overall really lovely and useful app. | |
2024-01-20 | Marte | -2nd edit : The timer statistic is just... not right.. and the app stop making SOME sounds for no reason. Even if the settings on both the phone and app says it should make sound. - edit : they fixed it, now the app is good! 🫶 - app is ok, but the clock cranking sound ASSAULTS my ears everytime it goes off. I cant change the volume?? | |
2023-10-12 | Abdul'Azeez Mukhtar | Perfect app, but there should be option that user will make taking of breaks and resuming pomos automatically. Perhaps sound can be used to notify the switching between pomo and break. And sometimes the app misbehaves when you control it from the popup notification, for instance, it notifies that the break is over, you want take the next pomo, when you do, it doesn't count in the app, later when you open the app, the whole pomos will reset to 0. Please consider. Thanks | |
2023-08-11 | Michael D. Jones | My personality needs a time to keep on track for assignments and grading for my class. This has been a lifesaving tool for me! I have found that working 20 min on/10 min break works better for me than 25 min on/5 min break, and appreciate the flexibility of changing the settings. Also, the low "ding" at the end of the timer doesn't work for me, so being able to change it to a rather loud rooster was a plus. | |
2023-02-25 | Tina Doycheva | Experiencing a weird glitch which doesn't show my weekly focus time. It says 'start new pomo here' even though the other filters show that I've already focused today & this month, and the chart shows I've definitely focused this week. Tad annoying :/ Other than that, a good study timer. Nice, clean and simple interface, which is what I'm looking for and the ability to categorise 👍 |
