Great App!
Dat boi harambe 9000
I love this app it has really helped me focus more and study for class for longer. It is simple and clean, the white noise is great too but also I like how you can turn it off when studying in quite spaces and still know the time is up with the flashing light. Perfect app for my needs, never change
Beautiful App! Needs iPad version
trappedinayak
This app is the most pleasant encouraging pomodoro timer! The simple bear graphics and white noise feature have really kept me focused (except from the temptation to write enthusiastic app reviews). Would love to see an iPad version!
App does not work
ThiccVeganBoi
This app looks super awesome and I love the premise of its purpose, especially as a student, however I cannot seem to be able to start the timer, even after I turn my phone over? I do have an iPhone XR, so maybe it’s just the build for this iPhone? I’m not sure, but I will change my rating as soon as I am contacted and helped with this situation.
Trouble starting the timer
gomphoses
I want to give this app a great review, because when it works, it works well! The bear is so cute and the noises are great! But most of the time I cannot get the timer to start when I turn over my phone. I’ve checked my phone’s motion sensitivity, and it works fine. Since turning over your phone is the only way to start the timer, it basically does not work at all. I think an option to start the timer by putting your phone to sleep with the buttons would work well as a different approach.
Phone Turn Not Working
Andy Fai
I turned the phone as intended and timer did not start. Whoever designed this app needs to relearn UIUX all again. Ridiculous purchase! Cannot believe Apple actually promoted this app! What a total scam...
Great when it works
AndrewBowyer
I downloaded this app a while back and since I’ve started working from home I’ve started using it again. It’s an amazing little app with beautiful illustrations but about 50% of the time the timer won’t start when I flip my phone over. It’s really frustrating because there is no option to start the timer manually, meaning I may flip my phone over and not realize it hasn’t been started until I check it 30 minutes later. It can’t be such a difficult fix and the fact that it hasn’t been fixed in the 3 weeks that I’ve been WFH, makes me wonder whether the developer spends any time on this app anymore.
No Manually Start/Stop. Apple Watch App Subpar
Lightsout565
Only feature it needs. Love the app otherwise. Manual start/stop would allow you to use the Pomodoro when doing from your phone (I use Anki to study from my phone quite often) The Apple Watch is pretty bad. No local notifications when the timer goes off. On works if you have your Watch “On screen wake show last app” setting set to “Always”... mine is set to “within 2 minutes of last use” so the app never stays on the foreground and you never get notified when the timer is up with a notification. Also the small complication found on the module watch face is broken. Just shows a white square. One suggestion. Add a dark mode by just inverting your black and white images. I screenshoted the app and edited the image mused in Pixelmator and it looks good with simple inverted images.
Simple yet effective
Blakester609
The interface is super simple and easy to use, and that is what makes this app an incredibly effective focus tool. It doesn’t give you annoying reminders if you interrupt your focus session, Bear simply scowls at you. It is super nice that you can set different sounds to play when the timer is up. I also like that it isn’t a traditional circular timer for the screen. Instead, Bear makes you want to complete your study sessions so that he is happy. I absolutely love this app, and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a simple, easy, and effective app for helping them stay on task.
My first review ever
stevengeorg3
I rarely review apps, but BFT’s so good that I feel I have to tell people about it. Other Pomodoro apps are too bloated with features and cumbersome to get going. This one’s simple. This one will make you productive. And this one’s a winner.
