Useful, not great.

Useful app, but would be much better if you could create settings for different types of tasks. Currently, all settings are global, so you can’t have a setting for say, paperwork and another setting for music practice, etc. Not sure why they allow you to name tasks in a list if there’s no option to customize them. “cheeseburger, cheeseburger”…. What’s the point? Would also be helpful to have a bigger clock projected somewhere on the desktop in a separate window, instead of the tiny font in the menu bar or nothing at all. The large clock window goes away when you switch to work, but if you want to sit and watch it count down, I guess it’s okay.

I’m really only writing this because I’m tired of the constant nagging for a review. I paid and would like the option to write a review if I feel like it. Instead, it feels punitive, like free software that includes ads. This seems to be a trend lately with purchased apps, which is irritating. Make it too irritating and you may get an honest review like this. It’s okay, moderately helpful, but I get more out of a visible stopwatch window on my desktop.
