This is a great concept for an app. it would also be cool if it locked your phone (or certain apps) while the timer was running to help concentration. I like the computer app a bit better than this particular mobile app, simple because it has more options on the computer. (Can change color themes for each timer, can set specific tasks, & can login with an email.) Great app if you are able to put your phone down and not just turn off the alarm, so you do need some self-control for this anyway.

Simple UI and looks easy to use without distraction. However, unlike your phone's built-in timer, this one will pause if your phone locks. I launched a timer for 25 minutes, came back 20 minutes later for it to show me there was 24 minutes and 30 seconds left on the timer. As is, the app is useless. If this is corrected, it could be great.

The pomodoro method really helps me focus on my work, I was so happy when I found this app for it. Unfortunately it doesn't run in the background, I set the 25 minute timer in the app and I completely forgot about it, I did some work for what felt like an hour, I re-opened the app and there were still 24 minutes left counting down. Such a shame but I think this app has a lot of potential. I'll just use my phones timer for now.
