Nearly perfect! Two suggestions.
Sans the Skeleton
This app is so clean and simple! As a high school student, it's really helpful for keeping my momentum going when it comes to homework. I have two suggestions for this app: 1.) Multiple profiles for different work environments. For the statistics view in the Premium version, it would be nice to see how much time I spend working on one particular activity. For example, working on schoolwork and working on a creative side project. 2.) The secondary colors in each of the themes are very similar to the body color. Would it be possible to increase the contrast between those two? Thanks for reading!
Close to perfect

This is a clean, simple app, which is what I like in design. My only difficulty is the extremely low-contrast controls and displays. Some things are bright and obvious, but other "secondary" information is displayed in a color so close to the background I can barely read it. Specifically, the time count should be much more visible. The original designer of the Pomodoro technique recommends that "Whoever is using the Pomodoro... should always be able to clearly see how much time is left". This apps deliberately makes the time very subtle, which I feel is a mistake. Overall, however, I like this app more than most Pomodoro apps I've seen. Update: aaaaand now the time doesn't appear at all. Most features tucked behind a payment that is quite high for such a simple app. Also, The new version has a very odd choice for logo. It's so generic (and unrelated to what it does) that it's actually harder to recognize at a glance. -1 star for moving in the wrong direction
Reset button not working

The "Reset Pomodrone" button does not work - any other way to reset the data, or restrict it to a more recent time frame?
New version is buggy

I have been using this app for over a year, and overall I love the simple design and have had a lot of success with time blocking. However, the current version hasn't been working properly. Auto-starting of sessions hasn't been happening, and whenever it is time for a break, the screen will say "short break," but when I start the timer it starts a 25 minute work session instead. If I don't realize this at first, I sometimes end up taking a longer break by accident, wasting my time. It's a small thing, but when one of the most basic features fails multiple times a day, I am starting to look for other apps that will do the same thing.
Hard to try out

My issue with the app is that you have to pay to use basically every feature. I won't be purchasing because I am not able to see what it is I am buying.
This is great!

Very simple to use and enough function in the free version to try it out with some default features. Premium costs $2.99, giving you more themes to pick, unlock goals setting, timer presets, minor tweaks to functionality, and graphs to track your progress. I'm definitely enjoying this app so far.
Great simple yet effective

Helps me start and stick with it through the task. I'm a squirrel with wings and this helps me follow through to completion helping me stake mindful of my natural flighty nature. Good work and thank you.
I bought it on the spot.

I was looking for inspiring time management tool. After I saw the intro slides I've made my decision. Every time I open the app I want to work more. It is a phenomenal app. The most important thing in your life is what you DO! And Workflow will help you do more with Greater Joy.
