I just love it! Every part of it! It is so easy to use, unlike some other time management apps I have tried, it doesn’t take you that much effort to get used to it. The design is cute also, and I know the developer has a Weibo where he posts all his thoughts and takes advice from users. He even replies everyone’s comments under his posts!

I want to love this app, I really enjoy the simplicity of being able to keep track what goal my pomo goes to, but I fear that the English version is abandoned. What makes me think this, is the App Store images are inaccurate to how it really looks, and while there are recent patch notes, it seems to be for things that don’t exist. On the iPad version, which is just a bigger version of the iPhone but with tons of white space and text being cut off, it’s the one most obviously inaccurate. Also, the app icon name is still in Chinese on both. In this version, if you mark something done by mistake you cannot undo it or delete it. It’s in your records forever. There’s also no iCloud sync, it has backup to iCloud every 48 hours. If you wanted to sync between devices you’d have to backup on one device and download it on another... pretty suboptimal. The short story is, If you keep it simple and only track your pomos to your goals, the basic functionality of the app is still wonderful. Just don’t make any mistakes. Hopefully these flaws have already been addressed for the target audience. There’s nothing else like this that’s still supported and in English, what a shame.

Good software. But it's hard to master it in a short time due to the insufficient introduction.
