5/5I can’t emphasize this enough YOU SHOULD GET THIS APP!!
This app + the “tomato master” in-app purchase has worked amazing wonders on me that no other app or thing has ever had. I’m currently in high school and I’ve always struggled with homework, have tried many different things to try to help myself with both focusing and to help me stay focused, but stuff never really worked. This app however, not only has worked for me, but works so well that it took me from someone who would spend an hour to finish 1 thing of double sided homework, to now 25 minutes to finish double sided homework. That is less then half the time! With the timer plus the purchaseable white noise feature I can now get a lot of work done at a better more reasonable time, all while staying sane too! The app is humorous and old timey in design, it encourages while you work which is very touching, and the white noise options really help the mind focus along with the timer. If you have read this until the end 1. Thank you and 2. Download this app and make the 1.99 in-app purchase! If my work/school life can change for the better simply from the use of this app, so can yours today!!!

5/5🌟Best Pomodoro Timer🌟
I rarely write reviews for apps. But, I’ll make an exception for this one. To put things in short, this timer is different from others visually, has simple interface, and it’s ads-free! For the visual, I find it very pleasing as it’s not minimalistic and plain boring. The art is very aesthetically pleasing and I can tell efforts were put into this. For the interface, beginners can instantly pick up where they need to start. The timer allows you to set however long you want your work session to be. You can also set your rest time to however you want. Compare to Focus Keeper, I think it’s overrated because you have to pay just to change the intervals of timers. In addition, while you are working, the app gives you a variety of options to play ambient sounds in the background; Works even if you exit the app! There are also no ads in for this background noise! Which brings me to my last point, that this is all free and has no ads in them! I believe that putting ads would ruins the whole atmosphere this app is intended to created. Bonus: You have an option to upgrade to Tomato King permanently for $2! Just $2. Even though I may not use the data feature a lot, I’ll buy it to support the creator of this app for their creativity and the vast utility this app has to offer. 🌞

5/5Rustic pomodoro app
Simple and charming, visually appealing. No ads, no extravagant purchases or subscriptions nor ads. The one purchase is statistics, which let's you view total focus time over days to years. You can set the pomodoro for focusing time and rest at any time with ease. I love it! It really does help me. The only thing I would suggest is a tagging system for categorizing focus times and breaks quickly. From there, maybe more advanced statistics showing you a pie chart or bar breakdown of how you spent your recorded time that day. Statistics as they are are OK. Still bought the upgrade anyway, because you guys deserve it. Thank you so much!

5/5Keeps me on track! A MUST HAVE for a writer!
If you’re doing NaNoWriMo, or you’re a writer who uses the Pomodoro method/writing Sprints to get your words on the page; this is the app you must have on your phone! It’s totally worth the $1.99 one-time fee to have the “upgraded” version that has a couple of images and more sounds . I use this anytime I want to knock out some writing time. Personally I go between the “rain” and the “coffeehouse” sounds. The ease of use for a 25 minute sprint and a quick 5 minute break is worth it. This is a great app. I’ve used it for years and am just not writing the review. Would give 6 stars if I could!

5/5Simple, Fun and Cool Pomodoro!!
I’ve tried a few focus apps but they were too complicated (like you ended up spending much more time on the app than actually working)..those apps defied the purposes of “focus” app a little bit. Tomato is different. I became so productive right away. I think mainly because the app has a super easy interface, no fuss, no hidden route or complicated tables/stats/sync function. I really appreciated this. Extra points for all these cool vintage/Western visuals and sound. Just amazing! After this review, I’ll pay for the one-time permanent upgrade (super cheap too!). Thanks, team, and keep going!

The Pomodoro technique just got more intuitive, right? * TimeLine Page Bonus：We've added total focus time and tomato count to the end of each day's record. It's crystal clear, giving you a full sense of achievement every day. * New Perspective in Stats Page：We're showing not just the total focus time, but also the accumulated number of tomatoes. Because every tomato is proof of your effort. * New Choices in Settings： * Added "Statistics Preference" option, allowing you to choose between focusing on tomato count or focus duration. After all, customization is always good. * We've also simplified the settings options, standardizing time display to hours and minutes to simplify things. * Interface Tweaks：We've optimized some icons to make them more friendly and easier to use. Hope you like these little changes!
