  • Great for tracking project time

    Not only does this app allow you to use the pomodoro technique to get started on a task, it also allows you to log time to a particular task. You are able to track exactly how long you spent working on a project if you are diligent at starting the timer when you work. Other features include tracking your time spent working on projects over a given period of time. You are able to see stats regarding productivity, habits, efficiency, among other factors over any given period of time. I highly recommend this app for folks who are serious about their work and have been personally using the app for over 7 yrs!

  • Gorgeous and up to the point

    I’ve been using it for >7 years. It’s seriously useful. It will stop you from opening a news page before it’s time for a break. You will actually get work done. It’s good to stand up and walk around once every half an hour in order to stay focused for longer. It’s also good for eyes, especially for me.Now for this app specifically: all functions are very useful, the humor is good, it’s fast, and doesn’t want to know anything about me (unlike many other apps that like to sync with everything possible). There were problems with the loud sound and with high battery usage if you keep the screen on, but now both of these are fixed.

  • Accountability!

    Time management can be hard as my own boss. Helps keep me honest with myself and put off distractions until allotted break times. I like the developer's amusing explanation of what the app is and isn't and for me it is exactly what I need. I also appreciate the playful names for levels and achievements (makes me want to get to the next one just to see what it is called), and the way it heckles you if you don't restart after a break is over. I do agree with the person who said they would like an option for some more normal phone timer sounds. I think the sounds are effective, but I find them a bit embarrassing in the coworking space where I work.

  • Keep productive and track project time!

    I love this app. I have been using the App about 3 weeks. So far it has helped through prompting to keep me moving on to the next part of a project, next project, next action or just get back to productive work. I work on multiple projects. I paid to be able to set up unlimited Projects. I also set appropriate blocks of time for uninterrupted work plus the work intervals for breaks. I can go back to any month, week, day and check the time spent on all projects. WOULD LOVE to be able to add pithy notes to work intervals for later review.. realize this might be a pain for the developer and therefor disregarded with the empty vodka bottles.

  • Productivity magic!!!!!

    Disclaimer: everybody's work habits are different, so this is just my experience. This app was a game changer for me! I used pomodoro sessions in the past and they were certainly helpful, but this app went above and beyond. The ranking system really gives you the incentive to keep your nose to the grindstone by making you compete with yourself. Seeing my rank drop on an off day made me want to work that much harder to regain my rank. BUT, at the same time, the knowledge that I could regain that rank helped me forgive myself if I slipped up. My only recommendation: more ranks and more achievements!!! I need the dopamine hits!

  • Incredible App

    This app has really managed to improve my productivity on so many levels. It's work in a similar manner to other customizable pomodoro-type apps, but the stat tracking and product management is really where it shines. If you're into productivity, this is a must have.EDIT: It’s been a couple years since I wrote this review, and I wanted to provide an update. I find myself coming back to this app time and time again whenever I’m in real need of a productivity boost. If you’re on the fence or are looking for a solid work tracking app, just download this one and don’t look back.
