Really cool, if only it did a few more things
The implementatoin is really nice. I love the visual countdown (one of the only ones that had this), though I was sorry that there was not a “ding” sound to alert me. Also, it keeps seeming like it goes from one 25 minute block to another 25 minute block .. am I imagining this? I would have to wait 25 minutes to check again … but it seemed like that several times. But if those were fixed, then I would give it 5 stars. And I have not tried the handoff to iPhone feature yet, but it’s pretty brilliant.
Very Poor App
This is a very poor app unfortunately. I was expecting more functions. Is is very annoying how the timer just runs from one period into the next one. There is no option for timers to stop naturally. There is no option to see how many Pomodoros you’ve done in a day. There is no opiton for a “tick tack” sound. The only thing I like is the animated red icon in the menubar, but that is not worth $3. I wish I could get a refund...
Great..and some suggestions
Lots of pomodoro apps out there..this one is real simple and effective. Most recently the hand-off seems to have an issue - the sync-ed times are off by approximately a minute in both directions! This used to work fine. I deleted and reinstalled both the iOS and Windows apps but no use. A suggestion would be to add a chronograph time (clock ticking in the background) - this is known to have a significant impact on focus. That is the only thing I’m missing on this one compared to another one I tried (Pomodoro pro).
Works lIke a charm
Does what it's supposed to (although I do wish there was an optional dropdown menu to change the time intervals)
