I like the variability in times for work duration and breaks and... that's about it.

The worst aspect about this timer is that there are no options to control the sound notifications! You can only set it to having or not having sound as a notification- no volume settings or different sounds to choose from. You can set the break timer to fill the entire screen, which I thought would be a good alternative option for the sound, but it's really irritating to be cut off in the middle of working. And if you aren't looking at the screen you'll miss it entirely.

The sound is so quiet and unobtrusive that I am not alerted to the notification, in fact I couldn't even describe the sound because I have never really heard it. And if you listen to music while working, even the quiet stuff, just forget it, you will not hear this timer.

I only just got this app, but I've shied away from pomorodo apps in genreal because they're so rigid. What if I start out thinking I want to work for 20 minutes, only to find out that I can, in fact, work 60? I don't want to be reminded to take a break at 20 because then I'll lose motivation. But, on the other hand, if there's a situation where I plan to work for 60 minutes and can only manage 20, how do I work around that? I just think pomorodo should be more flexible, that would really maximize everything. I don't know myself well enough to be able to plan that kind of thing, and theoretically this app would help me to figure that out, but in the meantime I've just got this mental block. I've got ADHD so it feels like every second counts and I need all the motivation I can get, but I also can't put too much pressure on myself and I don't know where the boundary is. It would be great if, at the end of each session, there would be two choices to click on: break, or continue working. You'd get a motivating message if you continue, and a comforting message if you have a break. After a while, with being able to view the completed sessions, you'll be able to see exactly what times work for you and what to expect.

I loved the free version of this app so much that I decided to pay for it, just as a token of gratitude to the developers, even though I have no use for the paid features. However, when I got the paid version I found that the ability to pause a flow and the ability to restart a flow from beginning were o longer there! I hope the developers will see this feedback and do something about it.

The other - unrelated -useful thing would be if the App had its own login with a certain number of allowed devices versus using the iCloud account (how AdGuard does it). I have a different iCloud account for work, where I really need it but I bought the app for home use, since I did not want to lose access if/when I change work. I guess it is a good thing the free version works for me in this case :)

Other than the above two issues, the app is a total life saver for me - it forces me to take breaks, which I commit to honor 90% of the time. Thank you!
