1. 5/5Suggestion

   In my opinion, this software is the best Pomodoro software on Apple Watch, thank you very much for creating such good software. But now (version 8.5(39)) there are two problems on Apple Watch: 1. When the countdown is 25 minutes, it is normal to click to start, but during short or long breaks, clicking to start has a high probability of jumping to the next step; 2. I remember the previous version, you can play white noise and end prompt sound without connecting a Bluetooth headset, but maybe because the AW directly plays the sound too power-hungry, so you changed it to the current one. But you can add the function of play end prompt sound without connecting a Bluetooth headset back? Or vibrate after the end. In addition, the end of the reminder on the Apple Watch is not a notification to remind, I hope this function will never be deleted.

2. 5/5Adore the App!!!

   I absolutely and positively endorse this app for anyone, who has to study for a difficult Exam. I’m currently studying for CFP exam. It’s so complex and hard that I needed an App and specifically Pomodoro Technique oriented App. Wow! I just found it. It’s Fantastic! It’s beyond Fantastic! I can study for 25 min, then take a break with the App… then get back to it… I am not getting overwhelmed like before. I enjoy all the sounds that the App comes with. I love all the nature sounds. I paid a little extra for Premium version, but I think it’s the Best Investment I made in the Apple App Store the entire time I had the Apple Products, which is close to 16 years now!!! Thank you so much you guys!!! Where was this app before? I am so relieved I found it!!! I highly recommend. It took a lot of my stress and anxiety, due to the Exam Preparation. I love it!!!❤️🤗🙏👍👌

3. 5/5Great to start regularly writing

   This app got me started writing every day. Two things about it helped me: one: that no matter how hard it was to write, I’d only have to do it for 25 minutes, and two: the time pressure that kept me going the whole 25 minutes. Once I did 25 minutes and took the 5-minute break, it was easy to do another 25 minutes, and pretty soon after a couple of weeks of this I had a stack of filled pages. This was the beginning of the book I hope to have published. I was motivated to use this app when I found out that it was a modern update on 19th author Anthony Trollope’s same method. He was a prolific and wonderful writer. I was surprised to find that he used such a simple method, but the reason he did was that it works.

4. 2/5Serious Design Flaws

   I used this app for a few days with just the free features, and I liked it so much that I bought premium for life. Unfortunately, it was only after that point that I started noticing some serious shortcomings. Most importantly, the focus timer appears to stop counting down if you switch apps or lock your phone. I had a few sessions today that felt suspiciously long, so I checked the timer and saw that only a couple of seconds had elapsed. That’s a big enough drawback by itself to cause me to look for a different focus timer app. Additionally, you can’t rename the default timer from “Pomodoro”. I wanted to create a “Work” timer and rename the default timer to “Study”, but I had to create two new timers to accomplish the same. Annoying, but not a huge deal. Unfortunately, the statistics tab does not break down focus time by timer as I had hoped it would. You can go through the itemized history to see which timer you used for which focus session, but the visualizations combine all timers into one. Without premium, you can’t create additional timers, so I wasn’t able to check this before going premium. I’m giving the app 2 stars instead of 1 because the ambient sounds are nice, and it works okay if you use only the basic features and are careful to always leave the app open when you’re using it. Still, I would recommend finding a different focus timer app.

5. 1/5Waste of money

   You can’t even try the app without paying for it. It’s fairly useless. The screen images make it impossible to see the timer (the timer is in black text on an image, so practically invisible and there’s no option to change it). If you want to adjust the timer, it’s on a circular motion with your finger on the screen and you literally cannot get it to stop at 25 minutes if you decide that’s what you want. 24 minutes and 59 seconds then it’s back to 00:00. What if you want longer than 25 minutes? The sounds don’t sound much like they’re supposed to. The “gentle rain” sounds like a downpour. None of them are sounds I’d use. No white, brown, or pink noise option. Also, there is ZERO guidance when you open the app. You just have to click around until you figure it out. I can’t believe I spent $10 on this. The timer on my phone works better and it’s less complicated. If I could give zero stars I would considering you HAVE to pay for it. There’s no 3 day free trial or anything.
