A Few Things

cGardios

Seeing as how this app hasn’t been updated in over a year, I doubt anything will be done about this. It tracks time and tasks well, I like the categorization of tasks feature. My issues lie with the Watch app being hit or miss as to whether you can begin tracking from the app. Sometimes it works, I can literally see the clock ticking away. Then I check it a few minutes later and it has reset as if it was never started in the first place, and no progress is logged for the task even if the allotted time has passed. Which brings me to my second issue... notifications. The app is again unreliable in chiming when time is up. It does this on both the phone and the watch. It makes it difficult to take breaks when time is up, or to know when a break is over and it’s time to begin working again.


One of my fav apps & most used

Baby Sherpa

Love the simplicity of it. The ability to set multiple tasks that are saved and then go into the 25 min timer is awesome. I wish like my phone alarm I could choose to still have the completion of time make a noise/vibrate when done even when my phone is clicked to vibrate mode on the side. Also wish I could change the ticking sound to other sound options that are not as loud without changing my entire phone volume at times but hey this app is awesome and one of my favs to use, thank you for making it!!


Cumbersome at first

MaxxNyxique

It takes a bit to get used to. But once you do, it's very helpful.


Some features don’t work as advertised

Pgyccoffee

I love the concept behind this app and it’s a great study schedule keeper. However, the alarms don’t ring if the screen is off which means ur screen has to be awake and that will drain your battery. It would be great if it worked more like an alarm and run in the background even if your screen is dimmed.


Unusable

The app give you zero instructions on how to actually use it and it makes no sense.


Useful and effectiveness

TH2317

Best app I've found for this purpose. Love all the functionality. Has all the features I need.


Good structure but annoying persistent ads

roamingmatt

I really like this app. It helps structure time and break down tasks and goals. Unfortunately, I’ll probably have to delete it as video ads have begun to pop up very frequently (9 times in one minute). I understand ads in free content but this is excessive. Additionally, full screen video ads that pop up during the work times is counter productive. Please fix this as this is the best pomodoro app I have found but The ads are too disruptive.


Bug: Alarm makes no sound

mrobison91

This app does exactly what I was looking for. You can set a goal number of pomodoros per day and assign tasks. One problem—I’m getting no sound at all when the alarm is supposed to chime. Please fix this bug.


Solid Pomodoro app

Brad_256

Easy to use and straight forward. I would give 5 stars, but sometimes when the work interval ends, I don’t get a vibration when my phone is on silent. I really need this due to working around other people so I don’t disturb them with notification sounds from my phone. Other than that, this helps me to focus and produce.


Ring and ticking volume needs to be separate adjustment

It’s good you can adjust your time. I like that you can label different sessions. My complaint is ticking is always too loud but ring is the session is always to quiet that I can’t hear because I’m too focused.
