Minor issue on syncing across devices. I have the app on my MacBook, iPad, iPhone and Apple Watch, sometimes the timer doesn’t sync across when I switch device.Also it just randomly signs me out and I realize the devices have completely different records already. Other than that, the best app! Hope they can make the syncing smoother! ❤️
Simple and easy to use but could be improved

Been using this app for a year now. It is easy to use and to follow, considering its simple interface. It is also not as pricey. However would appreciate it more if I will be able to switch from 1 task to another while the timer is going, and the time block will be apportioned accordingly to the tasks. Also I was a bit disappointed that I have to buy the mac version separately, but well, business is business.
Great fundamentals, but some key features missing

I would pay extra for these features even if it costs a lot:- Apple watch complication- Option to increase sound and edit vibration on apple watch- Option to add custom sound when a session starts- ticking sound option within a session
Developer Response
Thank you for your suggestion.
Widget in homescreen
moanofseduction
Would be really nice if you guys can add the feature to add the widget in the homescreen instead of notification area. This way, we can decide which is more comfortable with less swiping from widget section to the homescreen 😅 Also, kindly allow dark mode on the app. That'd be really more appealing than a light background.
• Added Dark Mode support
• Multiple fixes and improvements
