Great app for staying on task

This app makes it easy to keep track of how well youve stayed on task. My favorite pomodoro timer of all the ones Ive tried. Just the settings I need, nothing extra to distract me. Thank you for the bug fixes. The new color themes are attractive.

Awesome tomato really !

Really nice and fluid UI ! Using it everyday !

Great UI & UX

At last ! A pomodoro app that really respect the method, with an amazing fluid UI and great sounds ! With the pro version, you can even customise the colour and the length of breaks and work periods. Ive tried every pomodoro app on the market and its the best one, by far ! And now it looks great on iPhone 6 !

App crashes at launch

I am running iOS 7.1.2 on an iPhone 4. Since the latest update (June 10th), the app crashes at launch. And the contact email provided on the developers website leads nowhere (Delivery Status Notification: Failure). Please fix this!

:)

The best pomodoro app that I have used because of its simplicity and attention to detail on the interface, colors and sounds. Full version totally worth it.

Well designed and a charm to use.

Very simplistic but certainly one of the most beautiful productivity timers out there. Keeps me focused and I never had any problem with it. If you’re looking for an application like this I am pretty sure you would be very satisfied with this one! For the developers: It would be nice to have it translated to German. Since most of the app is self-explaining it’s not a huge deal though...

Looks good, works intuitively

Have tried the other apps. This is the best for me. Thanks!

Whats the point?

After downloading and fooling around with this app for a few days, I still dont totally see the point! It seems like I could just use the timer app on my phone for what this app offers!

Amazing App

Easy to use and pushes you to finish tasks.

Perfect

Developer constantly improves the app making it best Pomodoro app in the appstore.

Sound in do not disturb mode

Please make the app play a sound even when Im do not disturb mode. I know this is possible since another pomp door app (focus keeper) has this feature

Eats up more battery than Skype

Very good pomodoro timer, but it consumes a quarter of my battery.

FIX THE BUGS!

This was a great app, but the latest major update introduced a lot of bugs and not all of them have been fixed. It still freezes at the start of the 3rd pomodoro, every day. iPhone 5, iOS 9. Come on, guys. One main design flaw with the update: The progress graph needs the entire iPhone screen. Its too small to be useful right now, on only 1/2 the screen. The screen should show either a graph or the list of numbers, not both at the same time. Dear Developer: USE YOUR OWN APP FOR A FEW DAYS AND FIX THE BUGS. 5 stars when this is working again. UPDATE: In the first pomodoro of the day, Pomodrone stopped responding to screen taps and then froze when the timer ran out. What did you do to this app? If you cant figure out how to make it functional, can you just restore the version we had before the last big update?

Incomplete

The only thing in this app is a screen with a timer button but theres no sound or other options to do anything so I really have no idea if its really working. The other photos do not even pertain to this app or perhaps youd have to purchase the IAPs in order to see them. Oh well... Deleted

Great exemple of flat design

Brilliant. Simple and efficient. But perhaps it would be better to charge for the full app right away, instead of a lite version.

Simply and Usefully Delightful

A good app. Does exactly as it says and does it beautifully. Not sure if its worth it to upgrade to Pro yet, but would love to see a full-on iPad version and maybe some additional features there too. Then I would upgrade for sure! Overall though, its a great contemporary pomodora technique app.

I love this app

I really enjoy using this app and LOVE that it graphs my productivity (i.e. # of pomodoros on its own). I enjoy the colors, though I too wish there were more shades and colors available (some days I want purple!). To comment on the previous reviewers request that the timer be an option for landscape orientation... I have found using the portrait lock button, available from the swipe up control center, very helpful. Otherwise this app is fantastic! I might also suggest an option to record the number of times you get distracted during your pomodoros. But that isnt that important to me. This app is really everything I was looking for in a pomodoro timer app: option to change pomodoro/break lengths and a graph. I also enjoy the option to change the background color.

Waste of time

Crappy app, this one suckered me in. Yes its simple and working with ONLY 25 min timer. I was looking for a free app that I could adjust my work and break times.

Useless app

This app is too trivial to be in the appstore.

Great app. super update!

This is the best pomodoro iPhone app I have tried. I must admit that it doesnt display its true potential until you purchase its in-app purchase, which in turn unlocks all the features! everything you could want in a pomodoro app is fulfilled by this app here. No need to look any further!
