5/5Great for tracking project time
Not only does this app allow you to use the pomodoro technique to get started on a task, it also allows you to log time to a particular task. You are able to track exactly how long you spent working on a project if you are diligent at starting the timer when you work. Other features include tracking your time spent working on projects over a given period of time. You are able to see stats regarding productivity, habits, efficiency, among other factors over any given period of time. I highly recommend this app for folks who are serious about their work and have been personally using the app for over 7 yrs!

5/5Gorgeous and up to the point
I’ve been using it for >7 years. It’s seriously useful. It will stop you from opening a news page before it’s time for a break. You will actually get work done. It’s good to stand up and walk around once every half an hour in order to stay focused for longer. It’s also good for eyes, especially for me. Now for this app specifically: all functions are very useful, the humor is good, it’s fast, and doesn’t want to know anything about me (unlike many other apps that like to sync with everything possible). There were problems with the loud sound and with high battery usage if you keep the screen on, but now both of these are fixed.

5/5Keep productive and track project time!
I love this app. I have been using the App about 3 weeks. So far it has helped through prompting to keep me moving on to the next part of a project, next project, next action or just get back to productive work. I work on multiple projects. I paid to be able to set up unlimited Projects. I also set appropriate blocks of time for uninterrupted work plus the work intervals for breaks. I can go back to any month, week, day and check the time spent on all projects. WOULD LOVE to be able to add pithy notes to work intervals for later review.. realize this might be a pain for the developer and therefor disregarded with the empty vodka bottles.

5/5Productivity magic!!!!!
Disclaimer: everybody's work habits are different, so this is just my experience. This app was a game changer for me! I used pomodoro sessions in the past and they were certainly helpful, but this app went above and beyond. The ranking system really gives you the incentive to keep your nose to the grindstone by making you compete with yourself. Seeing my rank drop on an off day made me want to work that much harder to regain my rank. BUT, at the same time, the knowledge that I could regain that rank helped me forgive myself if I slipped up. My only recommendation: more ranks and more achievements!!! I need the dopamine hits!

5/5Incredible App
This app has really managed to improve my productivity on so many levels. It's work in a similar manner to other customizable pomodoro-type apps, but the stat tracking and product management is really where it shines. If you're into productivity, this is a must have. EDIT: It’s been a couple years since I wrote this review, and I wanted to provide an update. I find myself coming back to this app time and time again whenever I’m in real need of a productivity boost. If you’re on the fence or are looking for a solid work tracking app, just download this one and don’t look back.

2.1.2
- fixed a few misc crashes - changed app name
2.1.3
Bug fixes - now the app shouldn't interrupt your music and stats shouldn't crash the app when viewing day during which daylight savings change has occurred.
2.1.5
Bug fixes - now the app shouldn't interrupt your music and stats shouldn't crash the app when viewing day during which daylight savings change has occurred. A few additional bugs fixed.
2.1.6
Maintenance release. Using Swift 3 and updated frameworks. Ideally it should change nothing for users.
2.2.0
Optional subdued app sounds, new achievements and bug fixes.
2.2.1
Improved stats for pro mode (flip through previous weeks, months and years, and custom date ranges). Change selected projects retroactively if you mess up and select the wrong project for a work session. You can change this at the bottom of the stats screen when you look at stats for a single day. Bug fixes.
2.2.2
- sub projects - custom work session duration up to 180 minutes - see how much you have to work until next level

2.4.0
Overtime mode - you can now extend your work session before it ends if you enable the overtime step setting in the Settings. Continuous mode - pro mode feature.
