  • cannot share audio

    Even with all sounds disabled, it steals the audio focus of an iPad. So if you have music playing while you work, EVERY timer change (pause/play, or focus start/stop) pauses your music. Apple could fix this at the iPad level, but this app shouldn’t be trying to grab the audio source when all sounds are disabled.

    I purchased this after the free version for the sole purpose of changing that terrible red color to something better. It crashes the moment you attempt the change.

    This app used to work great until this past year. App automatically shuts down whenever I try to change the color scheme. Also the timer always reflects “25 min” even though I have changed the study session time in the options menu. This app was suppose to be an upgrade of the other time keeper app by pixio, but it seems that they have now made the two apps completely separate from each other
  • Colors do not work

    I used this app for several years. It has been free, and we had options to select colors. Nos, if I click on it , the app closes on you. Hope they will fix the issue

    I have tried several but this has been the first one that works for me and provides me, and my writing, what it needs. Thank you for a fantastic app!

    Daily experience with this app: start the timer, go to some other apps, then an hour later find out the timer stopped in the middle for no reasons...didn’t the developers use the app themselves? Edit: okay, so the app stops counting when you leave it or lock screen now, making it pretty much useless to me. I didn’t see any option that might change this and I definitely will not keep my screen on all time for this app.
  • Working Again!

    Edit: I didn’t heed my own warning I updated and now it stops what I’m listening to and doesn’t restart it following each already and cycle change I have to figure out how to make what was playing play again not so great for my easily distracted brain. For me this renders the app almost useless please fix ASAP, Thanks! OP: This is a great app and I’ve used it for a long time In a variety of settings. Easy to learn and use while still giving you options to customize for your specific needs. I love that you can choose your own color for each cycle, I am very color motivated. Be wary of updates there have been some bad ones in the past that at times rendered the app almost useless. However, in its current form all is well and this little app can be quite helpful in keeping you on task.

    I really liked the free version and never had any issues with it, so I bought the pro. I’m disappointed because the timer suddenly stops when I’m using other apps on my phone or even just when an alarm on my phone goes off. If not for this issue, I would have given it 5/5 stars.
  • Auto reset function does work

    I like the timing structure of the app. The app is also very customizable! However, I am having a problems with the app not auto resetting each morning. This is becoming very frustrating. I do not want to go into the chart feature to see how many rounds I have completed each day. When the whole point of this app is to help me focus on tasks.
