I struggle with some vision problems and remembering to take breaks is important for me to be able to use my functional vision at work. I have tried several apps for this and so far this has been the best one. I like that it has thr option both to automatically start during work hours or to remind you to start the app. I do wish it would make a sound after the 20 second break is up, and the option to upgrade to paid and change the time increments isn't working. It would also be nice if it kept track of time specific to screen time, but the 20 minute timer is still helpful for me for time management at work. It would be nice to be able to select different sounds to play as well. But I like that there's no dealing with any kind of annoying ads and for a free app it's excellent. I would pay the $2 even without additional functions just for the value and to support the developer but the link doesn't work

(1) Update 2.5 supposedly added a vibrate event at end of 20 seconds of looking away. This doesn’t seem to be working. Could this be fixed, and could an alert tone play as well? Ideally, I’d love to see 2 switches on the settings pane for the end of the 20 seconds: a switch for vibrate and a switch for alert tone. That way, a user could select vibrate, or alert sound, or both, or none. For all alerts: it would be really neat if we could choose the sound that plays.(2) Update 2.6 says “made it easier for you to give feedback”. I thought this meant a way to give feedback from within the app - if so, I couldn’t find it. The only way to give feedback seems to be by writing this review.Other than that this app is super helpful and I truly appreciate what you’ve done!!! 😀

This app was purchased for and is helping me stay task with an uncomfortable excercise i need to do throughout the day. I wish I could set the reminder for 15 minutes but it looks like 20 minutes is the shortest.Hey while I’m at it, there is a need for an app that works on Apple Watches that helps you spell by displaying the words on the watch as you speak them. Apple Notes does this but times out and that does not help you when you are up front during a meeting and having to write notes on a white board. Pretty simple whole that needs a solution.

It’s hard to complain about free apps, but this app is pretty much useless. It’s basically just a 20-minute timer that resets itself. Only fractionally better than setting the timer on the clock app. So, it still runs even if you’re not using your phone. Which also means that it might tell you to take a break even if you’ve only been using your phone for two minutes. And, it’s constantly telling you to take a break even if your phone is lying on the table. For something like this to be useful, it should only run the timer when the phone is in your hands. Also, as another reviewer mentioned, it doesn’t tell you when the 20 second break is up. And, you either have to manually start the app or set it to run during certain hours. There should be an option for it to run all the time (but, again, only if it were to run only when the phone was actually being used). Great idea, but pretty useless in reality.
