Pomodoro Timer: Stay Focused App Comments & Reviews

Pomodoro Timer: Stay Focused Positive Reviews

Suggestions for fix/changeThe app works overall fine and has been useful. That said, starting from earlier this year/late last year, the first round of 4 sessions would go smoothly, but after I skip the 25 minutes break and go directly to the next group of 4, each interval is that 25 minutes break (instead of the 5 minutes one). Was this done on purpose to promote a 25 mine break? Would much prefer being able to skip/jump as I wish..Version: 1.10.10

Great for focusI really didn't think I needed an app like this, as I'm fairly focused normally--or so I thought! After a successful friend raved about it, I figured I could at least give it a try. I was very pleasantly surprised at how much more focused I am when using it, as it forces me to commit and stay on task. End result is that I get way more done than before I started using it. Here's how it has craftily gotten more work out of me. I only use it for tasks that need heavy focus. So I do a session and stay on task. Then it's break time and I say "Screw it--I'm on a roll." So I end up doing anywhere from 4 to 8 sessions in a row, with no breaks except bathroom and pour a cup of coffee. And the more sessions I do in a row, the more the challenge is on to do even more sessions. I find it funny how I entertain myself with this. But it's really interesting the mind games I have played in the past, where I let myself get distracted in the middle of important tasks by things I "really have to do." Now, when the challenge is on, all of that stuff waits until I've done at least 8 sessions, sometimes as many as 12. And I thought I really knew myself!.Version: 1.8.4

It’s good!I had this app (the free version) on my older device, it worked perfectly! Switched to a new phone and used the auto backup process to set it and now it is all messed up. First the app version I had didn’t even open (the only app that failed the auto move process), so I had to delete and reinstall it. Then, the new version I installed didn’t support any of the cool features I loved so much, they are all blocked now under the “get pro version” wall. Very poor experience to have it all open and then get a crippled version when upgrading my phone... Ok, so I bought the pro version and guess what, the main feature that made me do it won’t even work!! Trying to set a song from my music library as the ticking sound keep failing, and actually does nothing (won’t even open my songs list to pick from). For me it was the main feature (it is an awesome feature) that distinguished this app from the rest of the similar apps out there. Not only that I could set a song as ticking sound but I could also have it keep playing in the background when other sounds (videos, lectures etc) were playing simultaneously. And now it is all gone.... Rather than that the app is fine but doesn’t offer any key advantage compared to many free timer apps. Please fix it. The app support link leads to a tumblr page 😩 so I had to write this review as a support ticket in addition to a message I’ve sent on tumblr (didn’t get any response to it). —- UPDATE—- They have finally fixed it!.Version: 1.9.9

Small but Vital Improvements NeededSo, the app is largely good, but a few small issues really detract from the overall effectiveness and quality of the app. First, the inability to quickly restart a “group” of pomodoro timers. For example, if you have a lunch in the middle of one group, and want to start fresh when you get back, you have to manually pretend you did the rest of the first group. So if I do 3 rounds before a long break, and I’ve done 1, to start fresh at zero, I have to set timers for 2 and 3 to zero to get back to 1. This is really bad design. Second...the volume controls do nothing. I like the idea of ticking on my short breaks. But, you know, not loud. So I set the volume for those to 0.9. Except that doesn’t work. If it is ticking at that moment, it lowers. But when the next short break hits, it’s back to whatever my phone volume is. This makes that feature useless. The same is true for alarms. I don’t want to have to pick up my phone to change it every time, so I have to choose between turning off ticking or remembering to set my phone volume where I want it for this app, change it for other apps, then come back and change it for this app. The core is good. The errors render it a frustratingly incomplete app..Version: 1.10.6

Working Again!Edit: I didn’t heed my own warning I updated and now it stops what I’m listening to and doesn’t restart it following each already and cycle change I have to figure out how to make what was playing play again not so great for my easily distracted brain. For me this renders the app almost useless please fix ASAP, Thanks! OP: This is a great app and I’ve used it for a long time In a variety of settings. Easy to learn and use while still giving you options to customize for your specific needs. I love that you can choose your own color for each cycle, I am very color motivated. Be wary of updates there have been some bad ones in the past that at times rendered the app almost useless. However, in its current form all is well and this little app can be quite helpful in keeping you on task..Version: 1.10.14

Best pomodoro appI’ve tried just about all the popular pomodoro apps, and in my opinion this one has by far the best interface. You can easily adjust the length of the timer from the main screen, even during a session, which is very convenient. And the app is very customizable. So, you can make timer a nice professional looking blue or gray if you like, instead of the tomato-themed look that most of these apps favor. A watch app would be a nice addition..Version: 1.8.4

GlitchyI have loved this app at times. It has a few glitches which is causing me to seek a temporary replacement. For example, try adjusting the study time and check if it is altered (without having to mess around with finding a fix - opening and closing the app doesn’t work, but skipping forward will cause your new time to be held). There are others, but it’s time for me to study..Version: 1.9.8

Missing option to customize long breakGreat options, but the interface is confusing and there are no help documents at all. Turns out that the "long break" only kicks in after 4 work/break cycles and there's no way to change that. Huge missing feature. I write in 48 minute work /12 minute rest cycles, and four of those is way too long for a longer break. There are great options for sounds and charting of how much focused time is spent on tasks, but interface clarity could be better, and for all this customization, how weird that you can't set the option for the long break. I guess it's back to PushPress timer for me... For people complaining about the sound clips: you can find and download whatever sounds you want, put them in your music library, and the app will play those instead. A really great feature..Version: 1.8.4

Keeps me focused!I rarely write reviews, but I couldn't help myself to write a review for this app that has actually work for me. I'm currently taking medical terminology, so yes, staying focused and memorizing terms is a must to pass the class. I couldn't believe my luck when I found this little gem, and to my surprise, it is actually working to keep me focus with my studies outside of a classroom. Thank you so much!.Version: 1.8.4

Exceptionally Good Pomodoro TimerThe attention to detail in the number of options... Bravo 👏 — its as if I made the exact Pomodoro app I've always wanted. From the ability to easily add a few more minutes with a swipe, vibrations although my phone is on silent mode, fine-grained sound options. Easily the best one available. Kudos to the developer. This is an exceptionally well done app..Version: 1.8.4

Great idea, one flawI have been waiting for months to see if they would add a "Break Volume" and it still hasn't happened. As it stands, the only volume controls are for "alarm" and "ticking", but I do not want the same volume level for "ticking" and "break" periods. I need to have "ticking quiet and in the background. Break should be a little louder. Let me adjust this, please. It almost makes me want to design a similar app with more control, because this seems like an easy fix..Version: 1.8.4

Beautiful, but choosing your own music doesn’t work anymoreExcellent work and I love this app. Inexplicably, the music selection doesn’t work on iPad or iPhone any more, whether in the free or paid versions. When that’s restored, I’ll add a star back in..Version: 1.9.8

Make the change!This app has really helped me in setting up a system in which I know I get to take a break after working for a certain period of time. The detail that you can choose what sound you want to hear on your breaks is awesome this app is great you just have to be dedicated to using it!.Version: 1.8.4

Auto reset function does workI like the timing structure of the app. The app is also very customizable! However, I am having a problems with the app not auto resetting each morning. This is becoming very frustrating. I do not want to go into the chart feature to see how many rounds I have completed each day. When the whole point of this app is to help me focus on tasks..Version: 1.10.11

Great customizable appI love that I can change the length of my focus time, the colors, and the sounds. Nice interface. One additional thing I would like to see is some kind of progress bar or circle visually showing how far I am into the session..Version: 1.8.4

My favorite focus timer appI have tried several but this has been the first one that works for me and provides me, and my writing, what it needs. Thank you for a fantastic app!.Version: 1.10.17

Amazing For FocusNormally I’ve issues staying put and focused when working on my home. However, this app has been super helpful in keeping me in line with my studies. Truly, my grades have improved because of this app. Thank you!.Version: 1.9.8

Excellent toolThis is a great tool to help you get through projects and work that needs to be accomplished. I like the peaceful sound effects during the long break. 😊.Version: 1.8.4

Good, but the sounds could be improvedI am a student who uses pomodoro daily and need white noise to drown out ambient noises. The rain sound is good and relaxing, but it's a short clip that simply repeats. There's an audible pause amongst many of the clips, so in one 25 min pomodoro session you might hear the same clip repeat 15 times or more, very distracting..Version: 1.8.4

Great helperPretty much what other five-star reviewer say. At least one reviewer mentioned it being a great way to deal with ADD/ADHD, and I absolutely agree. I find it pretty much impossible to work on-and complete-any project without this..Version: 1.9.9

Bug since last updateI’ve been using Focus Keeper for a while and it’s my pomodoro app of choice. But since the last update the timer stops when the app is in background, making my device useless when I need to track a pomodoro session..Version: 1.10.0

Worth buying!The interface is so neat and clean - not a single unnecessary tab. The sounds are good as well, really helping with focus. I love the red it has - not causing anxiety but giving me an urge to finish whatever I’m doing..Version: 1.10.2

Colors do not workI used this app for several years. It has been free, and we had options to select colors. Nos, if I click on it , the app closes on you. Hope they will fix the issue.Version: 1.10.18

Handy for staying on trackVery handy app for maintaining focus and tracking time spent on activities. It showed me how much time I was wasting. Scheduled breaks are a necessity and duration of activities is customizable..Version: 1.8.4

Simplistic toolSimple and easy tool to keep focus and reminders to break. No issues with the app. Would be nice for the app to integrate with the Apple Watch..Version: 1.9.8

Amazing Study AppThis app is amazing. Before i used to find other things to do then my HOMEWORK but now I stay on task. Also I like how you get breaks in between and you get to custom you timer. Great App👍.Version: 1.8.4

"We sacrifice the newspaper"Does what is says it does. Setup and skips somewhat counterintuitive ti learn. Wish there was more white noise sound types. Good app..Version: 1.8.4

I love this app because it helps tremendously!Particularly, it’s updated regularly which reflects the sincerity of a developer..Version: 1.9.7

Battery dreamSometimes I think this app uses the battery so much, Is it TRUE?.Version: 1.9.8

Helps the Start!I have done a few needed assignments with the tool, it's good so far... Helps.Version: 1.8.4

No Watch app?!?Unbelievable that there is no corresponding Watch app. If I'd known that, I wouldn't have purchased this in the first place..Version: 1.9.9

Exactly what I needed!As a writer I found this to be just what I needed..Version: 1.8.4

PerfectEasily worth the 2 bucks I spent on it. Great pomodoro tool!.Version: 1.8.4

Would give a 5 if it was available on WatchWould give a 5 if it was available on Watch.Version: 1.9.8

Near perfectWould give 5 stars if the app was available for the watch.Version: 1.8.4

Would love a better vibrationI bought this app today and it is extremely useful to me for my studies which I do at intervals. However, there's an important caveat. Since I study inside the university library I can't use the alarm sound so I keep my phone in the silent mode and use the vibration option. I request the developers to improve it by making the vibration longer (even better, if the user can choose), it is too short to get noticed. Thanks for the great app..Version: 1.8.4

Almost perfect!EDIT BELOW THESE PARAGRAPHS! I bought this app after using the free version for a couple of weeks. The full version is super-nice and really does help me keep track on whatever I need to do (the colour changes help too, since I can just look up and see if it's red=work, blue=free time.) However, there is one small issue. I've set different sounds for each type of timer, but every time the timer changes (i.e. from a pomodoro to a 5 minute break), the type of sound is still the same as the previous thing. Like it would still be ticking through my break, even though I set break sounds to "cafeteria". Other than that, great app! Highly recommend this method to anyone who has troubles with time management. I am not back on track as of yet, but this is one of the best strategies I've used to get my life back together. EDIT 12/05/2016: It would be absolutely lovely to have an icloud sync between my iPad and my iPhone, so the timer would start on either device and keep the same information. This way, I won't lose track of my pomodoros as well as keep myself on schedule more (if it's easier, it'll work better). I was thinking something like Apple's native notes software, where if you type and create a note on one device it almost immediately appears on all other devices, so that you can see it live type. If applied to this software I think that it would help me out a lot so I don't need to take my iPad with me on my break- I can just have the timer and alarm on my iPhone. Thanks again!.Version: 1.8.4

Love itGreat implementation of pomodoroso.Version: 1.8.4

GreatDoes what it says. Flexible. Gets out of the way..Version: 1.8.4

Thumbs upGood.Version: 1.8.3

I love it !A must have for any student. It has really help me out with my attention difficulties. I strongly recommand it :).Version: 1.8.3

Super app to keep you goingWorks great as a way to stay focussed on my writing. Since incorporating it into my daily work routine my productivity has soared..Version: 1.8.3

Great for studying!I'm actually writing this during a break. Fantastic app that really staves off "The Great Dumb". If you've ever studied for long periods of time, you know exactly what I mean. Anyhow, I've got to get back to studying! Pomadorro on!.Version: 1.8.3

Powerful brain + over focused?Yes that's me. I can easily immerse myself into a complicated project for hours at a time all the while unconscious of other responsibilities, commitments and urgencies. 5 minutes of relaxation between 25 minutes of concentration periods makes me more aware of reality. Standing up for 5 minutes, out of my chair is good also..Version: 1.8.3

Nice App seems to Drain BatteryGood app. Helpful..Version: 1.8.1

Great!I love it. It's perfect. Simple. Visually appealing. Useful. What else could you ask for?.Version: 1.8.3

Great appReally well-designed and its made me very productive..Version: 1.8.3

All u needWhat more could u want in pomodoro app? maybe a lockscreen view of the timer but thats it.Version: 1.8.3

Best Pomodoro Timer on iOSI've tried all of them, this is the best minimalist Pomodoro time on iOS. It's got everything I need and nothing more..Version: 1.8.3

Love itThis app is great: it is visually attractive and helps you work better. I really enjoy the work habits it has brought me to! I even bought the pro version and I don't regret it; well done to the people at Pomodoro keeper!.Version: 1.8.3

One of my key work toolsWorks like it's supposed to and as a writer, I use it every day..Version: 1.8.2

Excellent appFantastic app, really improved my productivity in the last 6 weeks since I have it. I tried a few other but this one works better than the others to keep me concentrating and with the timer ON (it quickly turns off for those without a "pause" button - even though one is supposed to "protect" it's pomodoro, we can't stop phone calls and people knocking on the door when we don't use it at home). An improvement suggestion: I'd really like to prepare my pomodoros on a list inside the app (with flexible order to change tasks between blocks even if the main task is not finished) instead of doing it on paper..Version: 1.8.1

Battery hogSeems to drain the battery quickly for such a small app. Timer doesn't shut off when you exit the app and app has to be force closed..Version: 1.6

Awesome app!I use it almost everyday. It's simple yet very effective at keeping me grounded in my activities..Version: 1.8.1

BEST APP EVER!!!Only one actual con, this app is a battery killer for both iPad and especially iPhone, request to the makers of this app to make it use less of my devices' resources and still maintain the currently beauty and simplicity of the app. I previously had the free version for about a year, but now I've upgraded to the $2 one to change sounds and have ticking noise off, while maintain 'alarm' noise on. Thanks to Barbara Oakley who explained the pomodoro technique via her Ted talk to overcome procrastination problems, this app has completely astounding effects on productivity and start-up costs of actually getting started on your workload, by using the ingenious 25/5 system, which actually helps your brain switch between diffuse and focused modes, for an optimal learning experience! Love it, would totally recommend to anyone who wants to STUDY or get their work done proficiently!.Version: 1.8.1

Fantastic App for Getting Things DoneThis is the best Pomodoro app that I have come across. Clean and easy to use. And most important... the ticker sounds good. Other apps, the ticker drove me crazy..Version: 1.8.1

HelpfulIt's a basic app, but it makes wonders for me. It did increase my efficiency while studying. It helps me keep a tab on my studying..Version: 1.8.1

Great!Love the app! losts of customisation and stuff. keep the good work..Version: 1.6

EnjoyablePretty fantastic for studying..Version: 1.6

Great for studyingI'm a premed and this has been really helpful so far..Version: 1.6

Simple & Well DesignedI tried a few Pomodoro apps and found them too complicated and annoying. In addition to the simple here are some other features which I like about this app: - ticking sound helps me focus (I turn it off during the break so I associate ticking with focused work). - Daily goals. It feels good to fulfill my daily Pomodoro quota so that keeps me motivated. - The chart feature helps me keep things in perspective (I never forget about a lazy week that I had and feel good when keeping the numbers up) I hope you like it.Version: 1.6

HelpfulLike it a lot.Version: 1.6

Great productivity appI used trial version for a few days and had to upgrade to full version. Works great and I can customize mu alarms and sounds. Highly recommended..Version: 1.6

Nice UI, power hogThis has a nice UI and thankful stays to the point with just the right number of customizable options (length if time, sounds - the cat meow never fails to make me jump!) it's a very useful app. It does have a big problem that I hope the developer can improve; power consumption. If I use it for more than 4 hours I'll have a dead battery whereas I normally last the whole day. And that is with the screen off and ticking off. Not sure what can be done but I'm sure iOS provides capabilities..Version: 1.5

Does the job!This is a nice Pomodoro tracker. It really helps me be more productive. The graphs (daily totals, etc) help keep track of progress, and various aspects of the app (bell sounds, duration, etc) can be customized. My only complain would be that it is somewhat buggy on the iPad: the app does not recognize very well when switching between portrait and landscape modes, and e.g. the timer in landscape mode does not display the current Pomodoro totals, and the plots seem to stop working as well. If these issues are addressed, I would give it 5 stars without hesitation..Version: 1.5

Excellent appThis app is a perfect pomodoro app. It had background ticking and alarm when timer is done and it has a gorgeous design that allows you to easily adjust how long the session should be. All in all just great!.Version: 1.2
