Flat Tomato (Time Management)

From the statistical views to the integration of other apps. The rewards system. Task and project customization and quite a few other things. Most of all I love the Apple Watch app! I don’t even have to have my iPhone connected to use it! It syncs my progress with no problem when I reconnect with the phone. That way I can focus away from my phone to get things done. The initial pomodoro start screen is elegant and simple even deceiving... in a good way... because there is way more to the app that meets the eye initially.

Update: There are some visual bugs in this app. I don't think the developer does a very good job around them. For instance, for the last 10 days, this app got 10 updates. An update every single day yet they are there. It has started to get annoying actually. ---------- It has a very simple and soft user interface. But actions you do confuse you. It took me some time to understand the difference between stop, finish and distraction features. Double tap, hold, single tap... Everything does something different. Hard to get used to. Pro version makes it more confusing I think. There's something called To Do and another thing called Inbox. What is inbox?! There's not explanation. Also, I'd like to be able to make my working times longer than 60 minutes. I don't understand why there's a limit. Although it seems like I disliked the app, I really loved it and bought pro license on the 2nd day. It does the job, and does it very smoothly!

I have studied the art off Pomodoro under the creator of the system. It is an incredibly effective time management system that I use in motivational and time management presentations. This would be the best system I have seen if they would make it more user friendly. That is let you in on the secret of how to work it. I would actually like to work with the developers on an instructional manual because the potential of this program to actually transform lives is Hugh!. Everything is there but virtually no way to know or learn how to use it other that hours of time that would be productive if you learned it but wasted if you don’t, and they don't help much at all. Would be five stars if they provided more than a modicum of help to teach their wonderful system. But by all means get the program.

This is quite a complex app in its functioning, plus has connectivity to Evernote and Todoist. The issue (as other have also commented) is that it has a very simple interphase screen, that at first look would seem that you can only use 2 or 3 functions. Press the counter and it counts, pull the tag and it asks for you to journal. However, Pomodoro is a process for people that are easily distracted, and there is no tutorial. So you touch once does something, press the same thing twice it does something else. There is a myriad of hidden features, that it sort of becomes more distracting to explore the app than to use it. A humble suggestion is: Please do a Video with a sequence of here is a project(opportunity), here you feed all the tasks sequentially, here you assign which task you will Pomodoro, etc. Please it is rather a sad state when I have the app, but cannot connect what goes where. Thanks

I downloaded this app for its integration with Todoist. It is rather shocking how little support the developer has provided for this app. The website is little more than a brochure and it does not function correctly on the desktop using both Opera and Chrome. There is no help available by way of tutorials, manual, or online information and even the link to Vimeo introducing the app does not work. I had to go to the Todoist site to figure out the integration because the app interface itself in not intuitive, as many reviewers have noted. There are many other Pomodoro apps out there that are superior to his product.
