Focus Keeper - Pomodoro Timer

gamed rating

A Pomodoro timer that was the benchmark for simplicity for many years. The basic 25-minute countdown works, but the interface has gained unnecessary screens after a redesign. The timer sometimes stops when switching to the background.

About the rating

15 one-star reviews out of 40: anomalously many. Criticism is unanimous: the latest update switched from a one-time purchase to a subscription and removed key screens. Five-star reviews were written before the product degraded and do not reflect its current state.

Strengths

What users love

  • The audio signal at session end is clearly audible. Weekly session statistics are visible without extra navigation.
Weak spots

What users hate

  • The timer sometimes does not continue when the app goes to the background. Session numbering disappeared after the update. New screens overload the basic use case.

Who it is for

Students and freelancers who need an honest timer. Right now better to choose a different app.
