Simple app for helping me focus

Just wish there was a complication I could add to my watch face to open the app. Also, I notice that after a while my Apple Watch will return to the watch face screen after the screen turns off. I wish it would stay on the bft app screen with the timer.

Works great, future updates?

Works great and I love it for what it is but was curious as to whether the app would eventually be able to be used in standby mode? Love this app for its simplicity over other pomodoro apps.

Has gotten very glitchy

Used to love, although recently it isn’t working well, it will close to the Lock Screen which stops the timer, and because your phone has to be face down for the timer to work you don’t notice until you pick up the phone and see it is on the Lock Screen.

The Best Pomodoro Timer

I’m eternally grateful to this bear. As someone with ADHD, the pomodoro method is extremely helpful, and the only thing that would have convinced me to try it was this bear. The art is great, the sounds are nice, I love the options. And requiring the phone to be face down is a great feature.

No way to watch timer

All I wanted was a simple, cute timer. No ads and no need for to do lists, statistics, calendars… just a simple pomodoro. So glad to have found one! However, I like being able to see my timer. I wish there was a way to set the timer without having to turn the phone over.

wonderful!!

this is a really great app that combines productive guidance with a little doodly bear!

Simplistic but one option I’ll like to see

I love how simplistic and cute this app is with the sound effects and the story of the bear 😂 but is it possible to have a chart or some sort of data specifying how many sessions I did in a certain date/day. Like a chart of all the dates that I focused . I love the cute pictures after because it’s like a reward system of encouragement but it is rewarding for me to see a data chart of my improvement of focusing 🧘🏾‍♀️ Thank you

Fantastic!

Great Pomodoro style timer. My only request would be to have it connect to Apple health’s mindful minutes so I could track the amount of time I use it/study.

Friendly and functional

Love the graphics. The app is easy to use and does what it says. Picking up your phone when you wanted to work? You’ll be greeted by a lovable bear and a pause in sound reminding you to put your phone back down.

Timer Notifications on Apple Watch Not Reliable

Would you use a timer that only sometimes rings when time is up? That is this app for the Apple Watch. It is simple and cute, but also unreliable. The vibration / audio chime / pop up notification work maybe 50% of the time when sessions are up. The other times I find myself looking at my watch realizing an extra 5 to 10 minutes has passed after the session technically ended. It even happens when I’m stating directly at the app watching the counter go to 0. Sometimes a chime / notification, so

Cute, but turning phone over to start is a nonstarter

I really like the look and feel of this app, and it has some great stuff going for it. But you cannot start the timer unless you flip your phone over and that’s a non-starter for me. Even when I’m working, I need to have my phone visible to see if there are new notifications from our kids. All they’d need to do is offer an option in settings to start the timer with an onscreen button and I’d give it 5 stars.
