  • No Name or Sync

    Eventhough I have handoff enabled not syncing. I was really hoping to have it sync through iCloud or dropbox like other apps. No way to name the pomodoro task either and track your pomodoros.

  • Works, but easy to miss transitions.

    Pommie does everything I need and it looks great. BUT there's no audio ping to mark the next period, and I find I always blow right through each session. The Mac notifications are great, and definitely helpful. I wish there were an audio alert available to accompany each event.

  • Works lIke a charm

    Does what it's supposed to (although I do wish there was an optional dropdown menu to change the time intervals)

  • Simple and Effective

    This app is great just because it reliably does what it says, without any crazy frills. I have the iPhone/Apple Watch Version and the MacOS version. I like being able to see the time in the top bar. It is also nice to be able to edit the structure of the pomodoros. I made it so it is 4, 30 minute sections, so at the end of a set I know I worked 2 hours (which seems nicer to me). Overall, a good, functional app.

  • Really cool, if only it did a few more things

    The implementatoin is really nice. I love the visual countdown (one of the only ones that had this), though I was sorry that there was not a “ding” sound to alert me. Also, it keeps seeming like it goes from one 25 minute block to another 25 minute block .. am I imagining this? I would have to wait 25 minutes to check again … but it seemed like that several times. But if those were fixed, then I would give it 5 stars. And I have not tried the handoff to iPhone feature yet, but it’s pretty brilliant.

  • Very Poor App

    This is a very poor app unfortunately. I was expecting more functions. Is is very annoying how the timer just runs from one period into the next one. There is no option for timers to stop naturally. There is no option to see how many Pomodoros you’ve done in a day. There is no opiton for a “tick tack” sound. The only thing I like is the animated red icon in the menubar, but that is not worth $3. I wish I could get a refund...

  • Easy to use, no annoying ads

    Great for doing simple pomodoro tracking. This app seems to get periodic updates, and it doesn’t prompt you for a review when it’s running. The only issue I had was that there wasn’t an obvious way in the UI to turn off the sound, but after contacting the developer they pointed out that you can control this via System Preferences > Notifications, so this app is working great for me. The latest version adds an option to start the app when you login, which is useful because now I don’t have to remember to start the app when I reboot my system.

  • Great..and some suggestions

    Lots of pomodoro apps out there..this one is real simple and effective. Most recently the hand-off seems to have an issue - the sync-ed times are off by approximately a minute in both directions! This used to work fine. I deleted and reinstalled both the iOS and Mac apps but no use. A suggestion would be to add a chronograph time (clock ticking in the background) - this is known to have a significant impact on focus. That is the only thing I’m missing on this one compared to another one I tried (Pomodoro pro).
