Ok
UI is a hit confusing on a Mac, but it works. Sync between Mac and iPhone could have been better as well, state on the Mac is slow to be present on the iPhone. A bit annoying when you take a break and walk away from your laptop, which is pretty much my use case.
Begging to be rated
Therefore one star
Great app to get rid of procrastination!
I use it together with my Polar smart watch. It works perfect. Gives me notifications on my wrist when to take a break or start working again.
Användbart verktyg för att effektivisera arbetet och ändå hinna med raster.
Bra app och hjälpmedel
Solid pomodoro logger
Apart from some minor irritations a very good pomodoro app, especially coupled with the Mac app. Developers: Stop making the app ask if I want to enable notifications.
Great
Great app but please don’t ask me to rate it.
Awsome
Workshop great for me.
Shoutout to developers
Please fix the following:
1. Dark theme for iPad and iPhone apps (it’s been too long, too long).
2. Timer synchronization across devices. It is unreliable and iPhone app sometimes doesnt pick up currently running timer.
3. Implement complication for Apple Watch so it would be possible to monitor the time without reaching the phone.
Great app
Use this app a lot, both for studying and tracking work. It’s great! The only thing I would change is the ability to switch tasks in the middle of a session. As of now, it seems the session is lost of not completed.
Probably the best one available
But way too many bugs. You will likely encounter some.
