Good start & great potential
Now with 1.1 out, I was hoping for more improvements, but they have not yet appeared. One big issue is the Mac/iOS syncing, it is problematic a lot of the time. As well, the notifications work in a counterintuitive manner, not clearing nor taking you to the app when clicked.
After high hopes from v1.0, I am starting to think that my expectations were a bit too high, and that coupled with prices drops makes me wonder about the future of this app.
Don’t let me down, this has a lot of potential and I want this app to be successful….there’s nothing else close in functionality.
=========================================
After looking around for a cross-platform solution to Pomodoro Technique time tracking, and looking at cheaper and free options, I came across this fairly new app. Along with it’s iOS companion app, which will run solo as well, they make a good set. They will sync the timer between the two devices, via their own servers, not CloudKit. This last point is a positive for me as I use devices logged in to different iCloud accounts for testing purposes.
They appear pretty receptive to feature requests and as they are still at 1.0 it will quickly be obvious if they are keen to integrate new functionality.
I look forward to adding another review once 1.1 is out.
