What users love
Keeps you focused and on task during study or work
Genuinely holds attention and boosts concentration during study and work sessions
i love this app i'm using it evry day Please increase the number of color options available for folders thank you
so good better for concentration and focus
This is very good help to focus on work
Minimal interface with no clutter or distractions
Clean, simple layout with no visual noise — the app itself doesn't pull you in
Clean, effective interface. Without useless animations or more thing to clutter ADHD mind. Accidentally came across it on chrome add-on. Highly recommended.
This app is good but I don't like more because It is weak in somewhere
Quite a convenient app everything is simple, without unnecessary extra steps. I like it.
Detailed time-tracking stats and reports
Clear breakdown of time spent per day helps you evaluate and improve your habits
Oh my god!! this is the shittiest timer app ever. You set the timer and after a couple of minutes it turns off automatically in the background. you cannot track the time you spent on a task!! do not download this app...!!!
it's good
awesome to do focus.
Flexible task structure: projects, subtasks, tags, and colors
Well-organized task management with subtasks, tags, color coding, and recurring tasks
it's good
I love this app 💕. I have never been satisfied with any habit tracking app. THE app is so simple yet interesting and effective. UPDATE: The app was great but suddenly I started facing issues like my timer stopped running in the background even if I allowed it in settings. And the timer also doesn't work while the screen is off. I have to continuously go and open the app.
happy
White noise and background sounds aid focus
Wide selection of background sounds and white noise — calming and concentration-boosting
this is too good and it makes me so calm and the natural sounds are good 👍 Thank you - Verta Uchiha
Only downloaded the app today and am enjoying it so far. In particular I enjoy the selection of ambient sounds - brown noise is my favourite. One feature I would turn off is once a timer is started it defaults to a ticking countdown which needs to be closed out of.
i do use it as web extension, and it has been very good exp till now, it is a minimalistic designed app not too many fancy features to distract you. It has just the things you want. pomodoro( 2 setting) , background music, background wallpaper, forest, groups to compete in, and scoreboard etc. Just one i can't get is how to do the forest task whatever I do it doesn't grow, it is showing sunshines
App blocker and strict mode cut distractions
Strict mode and blocking of games and social apps genuinely help you stay on task
I recently purchased your app, and I would like to share a few improvement suggestions based on my experience using it.I noticed that when the phone goes into idle mode or when the app is not running in the foreground, there is no popup notification or alert for break/start reminders. The reminder bell only works once we switch back to the app. This issue needs improvement, as many users may avoid
Its gooood and it gives 95% focus
It's so helpful. The fifth star will be worthy if they add some missing widgets that's already present in the app, like statistics, events calendar, and other important categories.
Study groups and leaderboards add motivation
Group study sessions and rankings push users to study more
fantastic 😍
amazing pls make it free i dont have money

Gamified 'forest' with a growing tree nudges you back to work
Light-touch gamification with a growing tree keeps users returning to sessions
amazing pls make it free i dont have money
that is bad app
I love it, works perfectly
Gamification and social features can be hidden
Forest and leaderboard can be turned off, leaving a clean productivity tool
it's good
Why there is long break is not coming after completing 4 pomodoros as per setting
Works on phone, tablet, PC, and in-browser
Available across all devices and as a Chrome extension, with cross-device sync
it's good
amazing pls make it free i dont have money
very helpful, I like it already.
Helps with procrastination and ADHD
Reduces procrastination; many users specifically note benefits for ADHD
Clean, effective interface. Without useless animations or more thing to clutter ADHD mind. Accidentally came across it on chrome add-on. Highly recommended.

I like the app. it's very easy to use and very helpful as well....
One-time lifetime purchase instead of a subscription
Affordable one-time lifetime purchase instead of a subscription — a feature users highlight
The app is good but the premium. shouldn't be their
awsome app
going so far good with this app, does the job perfectly. better than many other todo app tried before
What users hate
Timer stops in the background and when the screen turns off
Timer pauses itself in the background or when the screen goes off, breaking time tracking
Oh my god!! this is the shittiest timer app ever. You set the timer and after a couple of minutes it turns off automatically in the background. you cannot track the time you spent on a task!! do not download this app...!!!
After updating the app, all the groups I had joined and all the hours I had recorded during the last four months disappeared. 😭
Very effective
Custom Pomodoro duration locked behind a paywall
Basic timer duration settings were moved to premium, leaving only the default 25 minutes
it is a very good app. I use usually every day for my 6th semester.
I love it
good app but the constant ads for premium made it unusable for me
Hour count doubles or disappears on long sessions
Extended sessions produce doubled or vanishing hour totals, resulting in inaccurate counts
very nice 😊
good app

Poor smartwatch support (Wear OS, Galaxy Watch)
Timer stalls on watches, constantly requires a phone connection, and installation crashes
Very effective
I really liked the app anx the fact that you can block other apps. It's fhe first time I buy a lifetime subscription of an app! :) and I haven't been dissapointed. However I would love to be able to upload our own pictures as backgrounds or even having relaxing moving backgrounds, that wojkd be amazing
very helpful, I like it already.
No break or session-start notification when the app is minimized
End-of-session and break alerts only fire when you return to the app
good app really useful all options. they should give some fonts type for dark mode. I like customisation
Good
helpful in concentration
Can't edit logged time or reorder tasks manually
Incorrectly logged time can't be corrected, and manual task ordering isn't available
no manual reordering
good app really useful all options. they should give some fonts type for dark mode. I like customisation
You can't adjust the pomodoro timer to your liking. like.... Dont recommend
Users want calendar integration and data export
Requests for Google Calendar and Tasks sync, an open API, and personal data export
awesome to do focus.
interesting
Very useful app for focused work and Pomodoro tracking.
Users want more customization: backgrounds, themes, custom images
Requests for more timer themes, high-quality backgrounds, and custom image uploads

Widgets glitch and key widget types are missing
Widgets freeze or focus on the wrong task; users want stats and per-task widgets
There's always malfunction when I try to select items from the widget on my desktop. So many times I finally found I focused on no task specified while checking my statistics. Up to now the widget of weekly report on my old phone is still faulty. I paid for this app and have been using it for a long time, that's why all these are getting more annoying.
Decent but widget freezes frequently
Good
Ticking sound can't be disabled
The ticking sound in full-screen mode can't be turned off — only muted to zero
Really Great and useful app. One bug though, the clicking sound of the timer can't be turned off, only the volume can be made zero. Still, the earphone actively is connected to the app and unable to catch the audio from the laptop. If the audio were to be disabled somehow then maybe the earphone would catch the Laptop audio.

really has everything i wanted except one basic thing that is landscape mode . I really want you to please have a landscape auto rotation tooo its way too basic. I have to charge my phone while using timer but without landscape mode its a pain in the a**. Its 5 out 5 for me but please fix this
Steep learning curve, onboarding is lacking
Interface feels overwhelming, instructions are unclear, and there's no introductory tutorial
After updating the app, all the groups I had joined and all the hours I had recorded during the last four months disappeared. 😭
good 👍🏼😊
i bought a premium version of this app and utterly disappointed by this app and its features. first of all i will study for 4-5 hours then it will show in group 20 hours study time bro how can this be possible also....today it was showing 29 hours in group and people were asking me that am i a bot or what!! horrible interface and support never buy...!!
No landscape mode and sessions split at midnight
No landscape orientation when charging; sessions that cross midnight are split into separate days
helpful in concentration
good experience
I love this; I have it on all my devices. It really helps, although I find it difficult to use in groups, but it's nice and motivating.
