Ratings and reviews

Best pomodoro-type timer app! Visually appealing, easy to use, with all the features / options I can imagine wanting - and a few I had no idea I needed. Free and no ads; I was happy make a donation to the developer. Only one disappointment: no widget. You can long-press on the app icon to quick-launch three of your preset timers. There is also the workaround of opening the app in popup view. Check the "Ambient Mode" option in Settings to make the timer fill the window. Still, a great app!

Perfect simplicity that I was looking for in a visual timer that runs while I work on tasks and is easily visible. The one complaint I have is that in landscape with the digital time displayed, the numbers are almost completely cropped out at the top of the screen. Everything should be shifted downward in the landscape view in order for the numbers to be fully displayed. In portrait mode everything looks great.

I really appreciate that this app is ad-free, not bloated at all, and includes a dark theme. Everything is readily accessible. The two improvements I'd like are to have an automatically repeating countdown feature, and for your preset clock to be larger and say what time you are selecting. I had to create a preset three times to get one for 2 minutes. Oh, and if long pressing a preset would allow you to edit as well as delete, that would also be good.
