Tomato Timer ۬

It’s just what I was looking for! This app is perfect if you’re a high school or college student like me. This helps you use the promodo study timer. This was very helpful and adjustable to what you needed. It was also free so, you could do everything you needed without spending money! Overall an amazing app!

The timer is going before I start, and I don’t think there’s a way to stop it without deleting it… when I do hit start the timer goes super fast, way faster than the real time passing. It’s not clear how long the time for any one thing is, if it fit into a calendar or something showing the time, and how long you wanted to be in this category that would be helpful. The sounds are distracting because instead of a seamless loop, they abruptly stop and start over. I’m very disappointed that it was a bate and switch for free app- right into buy it now for a deal, or commit to a subscription after a trial. I think it’s a good idea but a lot of work to be done

The free version includes everything you need to get started right away and works similar to any Pomodoro timer. The ability to play the ambient sounds together is unique and might be really useful in the paid version since only two are included for free and one is too jarring for me. It would be nice if the premium ambient sounds could be previewed before purchase. If most people using this app are like me, I’m very sensitive to sound and generally only find one or two acceptable. If I could hear samples of the premium options, I’d be much more likely to purchase them. Also, since I do have such a sensitivity to sound, the short sound clips in the free version are distracting. Hearing the track stop and restart every few minutes interrupts my focus. Tracks that last as long as the focus session would be great, but 5 minutes at a time at least would really improve my experience.
