Jonathan Brighton.
Love this app EXCEPT the second reminder whistle is very very annoying. Please give an option to disable that or at least change the sound. Edit - I was able to change the sound but the repeated nag is still very annoying. An option to disable past the first chime would be very nice, or to change the interval of the repeated sound to a longer interval (like 15 min) so its not blaring constantly.

Really, really like this app! Does what I need. A word of advice: create frequent backups! I've had several issues with getting booted out of PRO mode after an update because I have several Google accounts and the update used a different account that the one used to purchase the PRO version. Confused? Me as well! Regardless worth every penny! And each time I've had an issue, the developer responded very promptly. THAT alone is priceless! Thank you

Great UI. I like the ranking system and ticking sounds during work sessions. One request: option to increase break length whenever I add time to a session. Example: my work:break ratio is 35:7. I'd like for one minute to be added to my break time each time I extend my work session, with a 15 minute cap on the break time. Thanks for keeping this app so simple.

Hadn't used for a while, but falling in love all over again! Still can't hit 5 stars for me, though, until: 1) I can mute ONLY the ticker from the countdown screen (w/o MULTIPLE taps back & forth thru the Settings), and the notification bar displays 'Mins Remaining', instead of 'Mins Worked' (Why would the app count down, but the notification count up, forcing us to calculate against the "Should be done by" time??) It'd also be GREAT to start/stop sessions from the notif./lock screen (Droid 8.1)

EDIT - Thanks dev, for the reply. One of the few 5/5 apps. Great app, does what it says and does it brilliantly. I love the snarky tone. Not sure if the 'Take a Break' button is of any use, as I find myself just abandoning the app once I'm done, if I don't start another session immediately. More importantly, it would be great to have an overtime step button after the completion of a session cause I can't be bothered to extend the timer right in time should a session take a little longer.

Great App. With the pro version you are able to switch projects which is very useful. I gave five stars because it's the best app I have tried. You can track your time and see where you have spent your time. I would like to be able to pause or to leave the current project but without losing you work time. Also to modify not just the project but the time spent in a specific project. But that's just me. Five Stars.

I upgraded too! Clean, simple, easy to use and I'm udarnik :-) Back again using this awesome app after reading that 52 minutes were more effective blocks of time than traditional Pomodoros of 25 minutes. The longer blocks of time work better for me and this app is awesome. Great mix of not being too intrusive but also just enough nagging to keep you working Try it, you'll like it!

Decent as a Pomodoro timer. App is not pretty but function is all that's important. Only a few things would make it perfect for me: (1) Allow the time to be in increments of 1 minute (I want to do 8/2 to be an even 10 minutes) (2) OLED mode to be a digital clock, (3) when the time ends, flash the screen or something (I wear noise cancelling headphones).

If you need calendar syncing, smart watch enabled, email reminders, and other time wasting frills, LOOK ELSEWHERE. If you have a goal/task/project (or several) that you want to be held accountable for completing without regard for you sensitive feelings or physical well-being, DOWNLOAD THIS APP. It works even better when you make everyone around you aware of why your device is making obnoxious sounds when you're procrastinating. They'll make sure you are productive too! I love this app!

Somehow motivates me more than any other method I've used. I think keeping track of the time I spend during the day combined with goals involving promotions/demotions works for me 😊 I'm glad I finally found something. I ended up paying for the premium because the ads were annoying and I had used it frequently enough to justify it.
