The app is excellent in theory but the implementation has a VERY serious bug. The app stops counting down as soon as you lock the screen! While unlocked, the app will count down even if you have another application active, but the moment you lock your screen it stops the countdown. This greatly limits its usefulness because I would imaging the most common use case is to start a timer, lock your phone, and go about your work until the timer dings. Currently, this can only happen while your phone is unlocked which will clearly kill your battery much more quickly amongst other things. If this gets fixed, this is a 5 star app completely!!

The app is by all means very good and i’ve used it for quite a while now. The thing is whenever i lock my phone the timer stops thus i have to keep the phone turned on all the time which drains the battery. Only when it is unlocked the timer starts to count. Additionally a minor addition is preferable which is whenever i close the app on my phone, the app resets the timer as if i didn’t start the timer from the start. It’s not a big deal but it would be cool if the timer resumes back to where i last stopped whenever i reopened my app after closing it. Another thing would be to add more sounds to the alarm, and calculating the time spent focusing to see how much time have been spent during the focus time. Other than all of that the app is amazing and I’ve enjoyed it a lot.

Seems like this company just picked up the Pomofocus name and slapped it on a basic timer. It works, but it's not pomofocus.io (and does not sync with the features that come with the subscription). If you're looking for that app, stick to the web version for now.

Other than my issue with keeping the phone unlocked for it to work, this app is super simple to use and understand. It can’t get any simpler, really. I have it set to auto start the focus and break sessions, and I get to personalize how long I want my focus and break sessions to last.
