1. 4/5Useful, but recent updates make it worse

   I’ve used and appreciated this app for over a year and it has really made a difference. However, I became very used to its system of numbering focus sessions. I track how many I’ve done on a white board, and the numbering system on the app allowed me to double check that I was in the right place with it. In an update maybe a month ago, they changed how these numbers worked, so that they no longer reset after two tomatoes, with no setting option to keep it with the old numbering. This wasn’t the end of the world, as I could just reset it myself every two hours. However, the most recent update removes the numbers completely, and I can find no way to get them back. It replaces them with little visual tomatoes instead, which I can’t tell if they indicate halves at all or not. Either way, I and others would really appreciate a toggleable option to use the legacy numbering system. I know this is a small thing, but I think it’s the kind of thing that can have a big impact on specifically the groups of people who find this app most useful. I hope this is seen and I want to add that I’m very appreciative the app has as much functionality as it does even on the free tier!!

2. 2/5Elegance and functionality declining with every new update

   This was a 5 star app and now it’s a 2 or 3 star. The original reason I chose this app many years ago is because it had the simplest, elegant design while also offering key features like easy customization of the short and long break timing, number of sessions, notifications, ability to pause and restart. Then came the updates and gamification, trying to be something that it never will be: a task management app? From someone with lifelong ADHD, it’s disappointing that you’re jumping on the more is better bandwagon. More is more confusing and clunky and honestly very cheesy if not implemented well. I’m looking for a sleek tool for the toolbox not a new toolbox. Many new updates in this app interrupts core functionality and usability and often causes more distraction and less focus. Have you tested the UX of this app thoroughly? Have user groups weighed in? I just begrudgingly opened for the first time in a while and now I can’t find any way to set the number of sessions. Months ago wasn’t much better—while you still could adjust the break options, there were two different ways to do it (global and task specific) and neither worked well. I usually had to restart for the timer to adjust. I have zero issue paying a reasonable fee for a good app. But that’s only if it’s going to thoughtful design. I wish it would stop trying to be the gimmicky and clunky gamification apps. There is a way to maintain features without them getting in the way of ppl who don’t want them. I am so sad to say I’m finally going to cancel after years of paying membership.

3. 5/5ADHD??? This is your GOD SEND!!!

   ADHD?? This is your GOD Send!! I have only been using this APP since this morning and I have already managed to complete several tasks with minimal interference! I’m beyond amazed! Nothing has ever worked for me. Squirrel Moments as my husband fondly calls them would overtake my days to the point that at the end of the day I hadn’t actually accomplished anything but had managed to begin at least 4 or 5 more projects!!! All of my “Projects” would remain unfinished until I HAD to complete one! Even then a 1 hour task, could and usually did, take upwards of 4 or 5 hours and even then maybe still not be completed but always another 3 or 4 would be in the works!! I’m not kidding you! Since this morning I have started and completed one project and finished 3 that were in the works!!! Hallelujah!!! And it’s only 2:15pm!! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this App, I’m deleting all the rest except for AnyList!! I use that one daily and now I can actually get everything at the grocery that’s “On the List “. Before AnyList, I always lost the list! 😂 Anyway get this! You will Love it!! ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙌👍😀

4. 4/5Helpful for ADD

   I have never written a review before. However, this app has changed my life. I have ADD. When I tried to study before I used this app, I had to spend an unsustainable amount of time to complete my work. This was because I was constantly getting distracted. Now, when I work, I always have my cell phone out on my desk with this app going. For me, distraction always starts with me looking up and around. Now, when I do that, I see this app’s “focus session” screen counting away. Then I remember that I am on “focus” time, and get back to my task. Also, knowing I have a guilt-free break coming up makes me not rebel against focusing for 25 minutes. The knowledge that I will have time to get important things done besides studying motivates me. I recommend getting the pro version. Being able to adjust the time for breaks is essential for me. I am a mother, so the things that I used to try to multitask, I now do one at a time during my breaks. Sometimes, I need more than 5 minutes to finish the dishes, etc. I can adjust the time of each break on the “break screen” with pro. It takes 2 seconds. Setting my chores, studying, etc up this way takes away the excuse that I had about needing to do chores or other important things instead of studying. Because this app prevents the screen from locking, it never disappears like the regular timer app on my phone. I don’t have to reset it each time a session ends either. It is all automatic. Resetting a timer over and over on my own would never have worked with my ADD. I don’t think I conveyed how much this app has changed my life. It is a night and day difference.

5. 5/5Best Pomodoro Timer You Can Get!!

   Trust me I’ve scoped them all, even written a couple myself (via Shortcuts), but this is the best app on the AppStore if you’re often distracted, unmotivated, or suffer from adult ADHD. I definitely upgraded to pro, worth it to customize my chimes (Pavlov conditioning myself haha), and set the background colors to something I enjoy glancing at all day. The main benefit of this app in my opinion is the tracking/data analytic aspect they perfectly built in. The only thing I wish this app had was a text box you could enter your current task into so that it was present on-screen while the work-session timer is counting down. All in all this is my favorite and most used app whenever I have big tasks to work on or if I ever feel my productivity isn’t at the level where I know it can be. Highly recommend my friends! Edit: One other note, seems the chime settings are a bit backwards. I guess I expect to set the chime sound that would start the session. For example when setting the Focus Alarm to News Is expect that sound to play when I’m going into a new Focus session however I have to set this sound to the other two breaks to get this to play how I intend since the sound for Focus Alarm actually plays when that session is over.
