en I LOVE this app. Otto is so cute and I can't let him get hurt. I have ADHD and gamification works amazingly when I am trying to focus. There is one suggestion I would like to implement. I would like for there to be a mode where there is a white list or an allowed list so when I turn on this mode it only allows those websites and all other websites are blocked. I get distracted very easily and I start reading an online version of my LED lights instruction manual 😅. I just can't block all the websites that I get distracted with because I get carried away easily. But other than that, it's an amazing extension. Thank you so much for making a free extension for people that have an incredibly hard time studying!

en I really love this app! The one thing that seems to glitch is the popup option stopped working even with notifications turned ON. It also resets right back to the 25 min session rather than my customized focus time.

en Hey! Thanks a ton for creating this app. It worked like a charm for me for days, but then it suddenly stopped counting. Now, it only works if I manually stop the timer and restart, and it's really bumming me out. Appreciate any help with this!

en 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!

en 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.
