1. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

   Paid for the king tomato version and no upgrade?. I paid for the pro version, it said that my payment was sent and that I qualify for the king tomato version but the app did not update to the pro version? Which is kind of upsetting.

2. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Annoying sounds. Loved the retro look and feel of the app. But, the UI sound effects were annoying and distracting.

3. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   iPhone only, requires portrait orientation; delete. Only for iPhone. Didn’t notice, having been drawn in by the clip art drawings. Wants to be in portrait orientation, and I use my iPad only in landscape... sorry, thank you for playing.

4. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

   Timing. I upgraded to the Pro version, however, after using it found that if I started it and then switched to an other app like audio to listen to a book being read and turning back to Focus Tomato, it stopped working when I made the initial switch. Will continue using it with hopes I made a mistake, but otherwise needs to be corrected.

5. ★★★★★the app helps achieve the intended result

   Good, but some sounds are disturbing/inappropriate. I like the app. It helps me. The VISUAL design is great...But the AUDIO, unfortunately, is poorly selected. I am fine with the non vocal noises that seem to come from a clock/telephone; but I DO NOT LIKE how when I press start, I hear a man's GRUNTING and COUGHING. It doesn't seem appropriate.

6. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

   Love it with one suggestion. App is great and I love the art! Would give it 5 stars if it could make use of Live Activities and Dynamic Island on the newer iPhones.

7. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

   Please add a widget option!. Great app!! Simple and to the point but still aesthetically pleasing. I would love an option to add a widget to my homescreen!

8. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

   Love it. BUG? Can’t turn off coffee shop white noise.. I’ve been using this for a year and love it. But I experimented with the white noise coffee shop and can’t find the place to turn it off.

9. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

   Good app. I really enjoy this app. Very simple and does the job. I would love it if you could also make it compatible with Apple Watch in the future!

10. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Nice little timer. Bought the full app on sale. It’s a cute little timer with some ye olde timey graphics. 4 stars because the English leaves a bit to be desired.

11. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Good but…. Please add the option for it to keep counting if you open another app! I do work on my phone and I don’t like how it assumes I’m just on social media and will stop counting if I change the tab.

12. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Exactly what you need. Exactly what you need, nothing more, nothing less. From the first time I used this app, I was able to mitigate my ADHD symptoms and actually get some productive studying done.

13. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Humble and desiring advice!. I was impressed by the classical (even a little bit strange) style of UI at the first time, which is a huge factor when I use apps, and UX is very simple and effective as well, so I didn’t hesitate to upgrade! But, there’s always a but, many Pomo apps are following the trend to develop Live Activity and widgets as well, I really want to try this app with these new features! Looking forward to it!😂

14. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Good app in general. So far it has been fun and productive using the app. Some bugs related to sounds effects. When the time is up, it doesn’t notify despite the settings. It feel a bit consistent of how it works but I still enjoy the app in general.

15. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Great app. Pls add more time up soundeffects.

16. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Enjoyable Pomodoro Timer. I am enjoying the simplicity and style of this timer.

17. ★★★★★focus timers and Pomodoro make short work sessions achievable

    Cute little timer app for Pomodoro Technique. The app is straightforward with a timer for focus and a timer for rest. Both are adjustable. No ads. If you pay $1.99 you can track your focus minutes. I often used my phone timer for the Pomodoro Technique, but it is easy to turn off and forget to reset. Having the app open helps with that, and keeps me off of my phone. It does work in the background though if you are doing a task on your phone. Also, there are filler/white noise choices. The coffee shop is my go to choice. The only thing I wish I could do is track my time by projects or at least by categories.

18. ★★★★★clear and easy workflow

    Simple, functional, pleasing. Focus Tomato is easy to use as a timer, has space for short narrative notes if desired for each segment of time spent, does not require setting a goal first, allows time to keep running and be recorded so if I’m on a roll I can keep going but still keep track of time spent on a task or project. The art is minimums but delightful. The alert sounds same.

19. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    ❤️. I love it I love it I love it

20. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Upgrade didn’t work. Nothing changed.

21. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Came for a timer, stayed for the humor. As title suggested

22. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Simple, yet Packed with Excellent Design. In a world of many productivity apps and pomodoro timers, this one stands out. Compared to other apps in this genre, this app has a lot of character. The UI deviates from the cut-and-dry minimalism that many other apps have with vintage illustrations and unique typography. It’s a breath of fresh air. The timer for both work and break are easily adjustable, and the ambient sound options are fantastic (big fan of Library and Coffee Shop). The sounds for the buttons are a great touch. And come on, the tomato has a face! I love him!

23. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Best pomodoro app out there!. It’s fun, easy, and gets the job done

24. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

26. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    希望开发Apple Watch版本. 喜欢软件的界面 设计深得我心 已付费 希望开发Apple Watch版本！！

27. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    Idk why this actually works. The timer scares me into focusing

28. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    I can’t emphasize this enough YOU SHOULD GET THIS APP!!. This app + the “tomato master” in-app purchase has worked amazing wonders on me that no other app or thing has ever had. I’m currently in high school and I’ve always struggled with homework, have tried many different things to try to help myself with both focusing and to help me stay focused, but stuff never really worked. This app however, not only has worked for me, but works so well that it took me from someone who would spend an hour to finish 1 thing of double sided homework, to now 25 minutes to finish double sided homework. That is less then half the time! With the timer plus the purchaseable white noise feature I can now get a lot of work done at a better more reasonable time, all while staying sane too! The app is humorous and old timey in design, it encourages while you work which is very touching, and the white noise options really help the mind focus along with the timer. If you have read this until the end 1. Thank you and 2. Download this app and make the 1.99 in-app purchase! If my work/school life can change for the better simply from the use of this app, so can yours today!!!

    Simple but delicate. Usage is simple, the design is good, but is there an auto mode to continue circles?

30. ★★★★★overall positive experience· unspecific

    An incredible app. I almost never take the time to write reviews, but this app is so beautiful and so amazing that I must praise it
