2024-04-04	D *****	Simple and easy to use, yet has everything I need available in a short number of button clicks. The only downside is that it doesn't allow any actions from the lock screen. It buzzes most annoyingly while you hold your phone in your hand and try to unlock it, then find the app etc. Would be nice if it had OK/Extend buttons accessible directly from the lock screen like alarm does.

2024-02-23	Ca*****	Does what I need it to do, but I wish you could set the rest timer for any amount of time. I'm using it for my eyes, 20 minutes looking at the computer and 20 seconds looking away, but I have to set the rest for a minute and just estimate 20 seconds. Also it is more reliable if you push stop on your timer before starting it each time, even though it is already in stopped status, fyi. Oh and I haven't had luck with lowering the volume but it's OK for me since I get alerts on my watch

2024-02-12	Ni*****	I would like to have guided excercises/short stretches at the start of each rest.

2023-09-25	Ad*****	It's got a lot of good features and many will find it useful. I wish that the paid version integrated with Microsoft To-do, Planner, Teams and/or Outlook so that I could fit the pomodoro technique into my professional work flow by importing my tasks and setting my Teams status to busy/focusing while the timer is running.

2023-09-21	Hi*****	Great app. I'm using it to remind me to get up during my workday and stay hydrated when I stand. I'm up at work far more than I used to be, and I can already feel my fatigue levels dropping. The ads are unobtrusive - in face, I wouldn't mind more to support the app. I will probably get the paid version.

2023-05-01	LA*****	The ads are too distracting. Before I could figure this thing out alarm clock noise had gone off twice! Couldn't see what the alarm was or how to stop it. Animated ads placed above tasks.

2023-03-26	Ru*****	Eh, couldn't test it fully before the limitations of the free version were made apparent. Maybe it's good--- I couldn't tell you. 35USD seems a bit steep for a fancy timer app.
