Ratings and reviews

First thing: Yes you can turn off the ticking sound. If you swipe the bottom bar (where the session and round count are) to the left, there's a mute option. You can turn off the ticking and/or alarm sound there. Speaking of that bar, I really like how this app tracks how many focus sessions you do in a day. It also lets you set your own goals so you can customize it for your day based on your workload. This is a really good app, and definitely worth trying.

I loved this app on Apple but when I switched to Android I noticed that it doesn't even have half the features the Apple version has. I liked having the ticking noise during the 25min focus sessions but mute for the breaks but in this version you don't have those options. Either you have the sound on or not for both focus and break timers. Really annoying. Please fix!

I found this helpful tool for me. It's nice you can change the amounts of time for the focus time and for the break. But it seems to automatically reset with the default time of 25 min and 5 min break, unless you reset it after each timer goes off... It'd also be nice if you can customize it so you hear the ticking only on the focus time, and no ticking on the break time.
