Great way to get more done
This app has been central in helping me to write a short self-help book and publish it on Amazon in Kindle and paperback form in just 7 days.
I struggle to stop every time it says it’s break time but the discipline it instils is excellent.
Pretty good…
This app has improved considerably. It now does its job quite nicely, using the built-in timer to make everything visible on the home screen. Nice job!
Been more productive
I love the pomodoro technique it helps me be more productive with my day. When I work on a computer I use to stay in one spot for many hours with no break and it will start to getting headaches. Now I break up my to do lists with a variety of tasks. I purchased the pro to sync with the watch and iPad seamlessly.
Still one of the best productivity App around
The ability to focus and get into a flow is so important for any endeavour and this app help that process. I use it for tasks that I find are complicated and I really need to concentrate on to finish. I also use if for tasks that are boring and just need to be finished. Great tool and I bought the pro version because the additional features really give me that extra 20% of productivity I need.
A great work tool
Helps me be more productive and to also take breaks. Perfect when I’m writing big reports.
