Ratings and reviews

Works well and is simple to navigate. The idea to get the app clear and concise as a good UX path. This could be enhanced by removing the limitations of time intervals. At the moment they are restricted to 5 min intervals but it would be great to see intervals of 1 minute. If I have 7 minutes to work on a project before a meeting I would like the entire time and not be limited to 5 or 10 minutes. Still looking forward to the companion device.
