TomatoFlex

Just what I’ve been looking for - syncs between my devices and has a nice complication on my watch. Good stuff!

The app’s design and functions look amazing (hence the reason why I purchased the app for my apple watch) but I can’t get the timer to start on the background of the apple watch! Every time I press the timer, it just says “Tomatoflex does not have permission to schedule background sessions …” etc. Although I press “enable background” each time, it is NOT WORKING! Please help - the app itself seems amazing only if I could use it.

I use this mainly with my Apple Watch. This app seems to be rare in that the complication shows roughly what time is left *when your wrist is down* AND it vibrates repeatedly until you move to the next timer. There isn’t another app I know of that does this, and I like that this isn’t subscription based. I like the second thing because when I’m focused sometimes I miss the initial vibration and with other apps I’ll blow through the break, kinda defeating the purpose of pomodoro. I like that this app waits for you to advance the timer and ensure that you’re taking proper breaks. The only reason I took off a star is because it doesn’t support having short and long breaks, so I use my timer app for the long break. I hope this feature can be incorporated soon!

I have tried all the Pomodoro apps out there on the App Store including the ones requiring subscriptions and this one is by far the best. It works great and is easy to use. It has definitively helped me stay focused during the day! Well worth the reasonable ONE TIME purchase price and glad to support the dev in doing so!

Not showing on iPhone and watch. Need help or money back. Just says purchased on App Store but did not install.

I’ve tried pretty much every pomodoro app, and this one is the best. Favorite part is that it actually vibrates like a timer so I can’t ignore it and it has a complication that I can quickly glance at. Highly recommend giving this app a shot.

Update 7/16/2020 The developer quickly added the feature I requested. Now this is the best pomodoro timer app on Apple Watch imo. Thanks for building this! Original review: This app is awesome. My one request is could we have an option to change the watch face icon from that smiling tomato to just showing countdown minutes? It looks cute, but I just need something looks more professional. I’m sure will change my rating to 5 start if that got added in the next release. Thanks!

This app gets everything right: It has a simple 25 minute countdown with 5 minute break, it notifies you when the 25 minutes is up with a constant vibration so that you can confirm whether or not you would like to take a break, it runs in the background, and it doesn’t have a crazy subscription model. Absolutely perfect.
