Could be really good with some tweaks

I really wanted to like this timer but after a couple of days of using it it’s just become too frustrating to use! There are lots of little bugs, e.g. when you’re adding todo tasks, sometimes you just can’t get off the keyboard to get to the rest of the app without closing it and reopening it.
Could’ve lived with that, but I’ve found that the timer seems to keep running in the background and going off even after you’ve paused it, stopped it, even after you force close the app! It continued to give me notifications for work and breaks 3 hours after I closed it.

At first the timer felt intuitive, but you can’t easily record that you are done with a task and start another without cancelling and restarting a timer, so it’s hard to track accurately what work you’ve done under what label.
All in all it is close to being great - generally the UI is nice to look at and use, the tapping for distraction is a great feature and the graphs for tracking your stats are pretty.
If the bugs are fixed I’d use it again but where it seems to offer a seamless experience, it actually feels quite clunky and difficult.

Developer Response ,

Hi there,
I am really really sorry for all this inconvenience. You can actually close the keyboard with a swipe down gesture on the screen above keyboard, is it not working properly? We'll look into both the timer issues right away and try to fix them with the next update itself. We are truly committed to give a seamless experience, we'll make sure you get that too.
