My favorite work/life hack app!

This is a great implementation of the Pomodoro technique, which you don't need prior knowledge of because the app does such a good job of explaining and executing this simple approach. If you want an engaging way to focus and avoid distractions that results in trackable productivity then get this app. Also worth noting - the developers are very receptive to feedback and responsive when it comes to incorporating suggestions so feel free to let them know what you think!
Love the idea, but lots of glitches

While this has helped me stay focused and feel great about it, I think the app needs to provide more stability, especially when you're paying for it. The consistent problems I've had with it: 1) regularly, after a block is completed and I get a notification, the block disappears and doesn't register in my history 2) when viewing history, I can only see blocks in the previous week. Going back more than one week shows that I completed zero blocks. Discouraging for someone whose trying to keep track since that helps with motivation. 3) also when viewing history, you can only go backwards in the weeks, and not forward. 4) not a glitch, but a weakness for which I would recommend a fix: there are no options to customize the notification. It is just one short beep, which if you miss for whatever reason and get into the app like an hour later, the completed block is no longer there (wait, ya, I guess this is a glitch). It would be nice to have a notification that is ongoing until you turn it off yourself. And it would be nice if the block automatically registers/saves even if you don't go into the app to rate the experience. Would love to see some improvements with this app. Could definitely be a great app.
decent

I like the style that’s unique but there needs to be an option to vibrate so i can know when my block is done if i’m with others studying and i have it on silent. 5/5 if this feature was added. also it would be nice if this was on mac so you could keep track on both. finally it would be nice if you could see the time on the screen instead of having to unlock the phone. I’m not sure if this is possible, but it would be a nice feature.
Wonderful

Got me through senior year of college! Will continue to use in the workplace. The "pomodoro method" works!
A Useful, Useable, Unbeatable App

This app is great. It is easy to navigate and easy to keep using. It helps keep me on track, and it also helps keep me from over doing it on days when I forget my limits. It is encouraging to be able to look back on all the work I've done and my comments along the way. I highly recommend this app for students or for anybody who wants a little help organizing their time.
