1. 5/5Nice, simple app

   The thing I like most about this app is it simplicity. It does what it is supposed to do with no bells or whistles. It is supposed break up your work time into chunks of your own devising. When the timer goes off it's time for a short break. You can set the length of the break time as well. You get up and stretch or exercise or do whatever and then you get back to work. This is a great health enhancing app And it is one of my favorites.

2. 3/5Just a couple problems

   Pleeease fix these bugs. They’re driving me crazy. I’ve loved this app for years - I used it to stay focused studying in college, and I now use it while I’m working. It’s very simple and overall functional. I just have three issues. 1. The app for the Apple Watch NEVER gives me alerts when the timer’s done. I’ll be working and go over my work timer (but I don’t know it because it hasn’t made a noise), and I eventually realize it’s been a while, turn my watch to look at it, and the screen lights up and the timer goes off. So the watch version is effectively useless. I’ve messed with lots of settings for alarms, and I know my sound is on, etc. It just doesn’t work. 2. The phone app does give me alerts, but they’re always wrong if I’m not currently on the app. Just now I was on a different app on my phone when the work timer supposedly finished, so it beeped and the banner alert showed up. I tapped on it, only to find out I actually had over 11 minutes left on the timer. Why did it alert me that it was done? It wasn’t?? 3. Sometimes, the timer cycle just stops running. Just now, I started my work timer, then switched to messages and the camera a couple times, then went back to the timer and it had stopped completely and went back to displaying the initial time of 30 minutes. No reason. No alert. It's so annoying, and it totally throws off the work-break cycle I was on. So, basically, the app is most useful when I leave my phone open where I can look at the timer. Please fix these issues!!

3. 3/5almost what I need

   I was super excited when I found this app because it’s exactly what I’m looking for. I want to choose how long the sessions are, and the short and long breaks, and I don’t need any fancy extra stuff cluttering the main screen. The only problem is that the notifications don’t work! Yeah, they show up on my home screen, but I have all the sound and vibration settings on (both the app and my phone and watch settings) and yet nothing’s happening. If it would just vibrate my watch when a session or break ends, this would be awesome.

4. 5/5Nice Work!

   The best app ever! Good job. No other Pomo app can beat this minimalism yet beautiful one. No ads. No complex but useless feature. By the way, could you add more statistics in the setting pane? Data on session completed weekly and monthly would help me.

5. 3/5Watch app needs work

   The phone app is fine - simple, easy to navigate and set up. The watch app is a different story. It works for a period of time and then just stops. I’ll press “continue” after a work session and it won’t connect with the phone app to start the next break. Which is a key reason I want to use it. I’ve had this happen about 3 weeks ago, and then deleted and reinstalled the app. Unfortunately the same thing keeps happening. If this bug can be fixed, the app is quite useful.
