I love the extension, I love pomodoro, and seeing it up above. I love the element of gamification and earning points HOWEVER, none of my points or stats get saved whatsoever. It isn't tracking my stuff and I can't find any place in my settings to fix it!

LOVE this extension, but tasks feature is glitchy. Pause buttons not working on both the pop up and the extension. I also set a task to 15 mins but it sets a timer of 30 mins. Other than that, it's one of the best apps out there. I will be using the timer feature more.
