More About Productivity Challenge Timer
Now here's a few things you should know before downloading:
- This is not an organizer. If you can't keep track of what you're supposed to be doing, this app is not for you. The app includes tracking of projects so you know how much time you spent working on each of your clients/books/websites/whatever - like a time sheet, but it's not meant to be an organizer or a to-do list.
- This app is in English only. No translations are planned for the foreseeable future.
- This app will not let you pause work sessions or finish them early, so if you have a tiny baby-sized bladder and you need to pause every few minutes, this app is not for you. The shortest work session you can set is 10 minutes and you're not supposed to be interrupted. Also because I use this app too, and I'd be the first to abuse that pause feature to go look up useless nonsense instead of getting work done.
- The purpose of this app is not to promote a healthy work-life balance, but to get you to work harder. Because of this, it does not recognize weekends or holidays or parenting or any other excuse to take time off, and it will demote you if you start slipping. Please don't expect the app to validate your goals, its sole purpose is to make you work harder, even when you shouldn't.
- If you want to use the app with the screen off, make sure it's been exempted from any battery saving apps/features your device may be using.
That's it, thanks for reading and I hope you find this app as useful as I do.

Excellent, happy to get me in discipline. At times, I become so busy in my project that I forget to restart the time though notification sound rings. I do for 25 mins. So, I work more than I get the data I see in the app. A pop up should come after the task, not sound only, giving options for a break to skip or continue. This I think should be added. All projects I do on the same mobile where I installed the app.

I'm really enjoying this app, it's easy to use, and very witty, definitely recommend it. Have been using it for over 3 years now, and still find it just as useful as day 1. I'm just frustrated as I still haven't unlocked all of the achievements, and don't know what I need to do to unlock the final one's haha, still haven't achieved everything, but will work in gulag until that day. Great app though

Recommendations: Have a tour to show how to use the app. Have a different default ringtone and volume that is lower so that when you complete the time, the ringtone doesn't startle people with a loud "Ding!" sound. as someone mentioned prior, design isn't the greatest. Great artwork but, it isn't a flexible theme like working on a project from a desk to then outdoors rather than 1 theme that won't relate to everyone. Not a fan of the title it starts newbies on as a "Slacker" very negative lang

Best app for tracking time. Is unforgiving and motivating, keeps you on track working every day. Also good for realizing how much of your life you've wasted on homework. Update: I picked up this app again after my studies ended and I started a 9-6, but after struggling to adjust to working from home, I picked it up again and it's the same life saver as before in terms of keeping me on target. I bought this app a second time just to have it on my work phone and it has already paid for itself.

It's a great app. I like to use the continuous mode because, for me, it can be distracting to have to set it every few minutes. The developer's achievement descriptions are witty; this is one factor that makes it better than other apps I've tried. Because I tend to hyper-focus when I get going, I also include chill time as one of my self-care activities.

Somehow motivates me more than any other method I've used. I think keeping track of the time I spend during the day combined with goals involving promotions/demotions works for me 😊 I'm glad I finally found something. I ended up paying for the premium because the ads were annoying and I had used it frequently enough to justify it.

I love this app. It is user-friendly, pleasant to look at, & features an excellent amount of snark to remind you to get to work. It's also much improved from earlier versions. It really deserves 5 stars, & if I could do 4.5 I would. My reasoning for <5 is that sometimes I forget to log work hours & would like to be able to go back to do so the next day. I'm pretty sure this is a feature on the paid version though, so probably I should quit being cheap & just buy it.

Great app. Very witty and personal. Could use a pause button. My efficiency would go through the roof if I didn't have to repeatedly stop and do the math to make sure I'm not cheating my way to the higher ranks. I'm literally wasting time in my day to track my work progress, which is SUPPOSED to be one of the benefits of the app. Things come up, and when I'm FORCED to stop working on a project, I'm going to want to take my break then, in order to stay efficient. You can't do that with this app.

This app definitely helps motivate you to do what you are trying to do. I am a musician and I use it to track how much I practice daily/weekly. It has motivated me each week to add to my practice times (as I don't want to go down in rank). It is not as harsh as I first thought it might be and the ranking system is entertaining, especially because I have to unlock new ranks to see them. It is user friendly, though I wish it were easier to change the set times for each activity; I change it often.

Best pomodoro app I have used. I highly recommend it. Only complaint I have is that I wish it had a way to manually add sessions after the fact. There are times when I worked and simply forgot to use the app and wish I could add that time to my record and statistics. I want to keep track of all work done and forgetting to start the app prevents this. Otherwise, great app!

Apps like these require little quirks that fit what you *NEED*. Not allowing you to take breaks in the middle of a productivity session is one of those quirks Really enforces a drive to finish strong. For some gosh darn reason, these achievements are actually something I want to get, and gaining rank, while easy at first, is actually something that pushes you to keep going. This app will require a drive to work. Best way I've found that is reading productivity books

Really, really like this app! Does what I need. A word of advice: create frequent backups! I've had several issues with getting booted out of PRO mode after an update because I have several Google accounts and the update used a different account that the one used to purchase the PRO version. Confused? Me as well! Regardless worth every penny! And each time I've had an issue, the developer responded very promptly. THAT alone is priceless! Thank you

This app is the only thing that has worked for helping me study. I am averaging 3 to 4 hours studying everday now. Compared to 30 minutes or so a day. I love the mechanics of loosing rank if you don't work. It helps keep me in check. I have always been an avid gamer and I love the way this app gamify's work. The premium in purchase is definitely worth it. Yo Dev, I love you. 😭.

Been using the app for a day or two and just unlocked pro. This is just what I needed. I wanted a tracker and timer without a bunch of fluffy features. The achievements are a nice touch. I started seeing benefits on day one and it's helping me change my habits. I am spending more time focusing and less time constantly context switching. I can also see where my time is being spent easier. I like that I can also make backups to MY drive account and not someone else's cloud storage. And, I like the way they handle privacy compared to a lot of other apps.

It's pretty good. Only gave it 3 stars for two reasons: 1.) The alarm doesn't always sound unless it's the last app I use. If I set the timer and use Pandora because I want to listen to music while working, the alarm won't sound unless I remember to switch back to the timer. 2.) If I skip the break, it should automatically start the next work session. This seems so intuitive that I sometimes forget to start the session if I skip a break because it seems like something that should just happen.

It does what it says it does, and has good stat tracking even when using the free version. The rankings are a great bonus, because you really want to reach and keep higher ranks. It is very unforgiving of times where you keep working long after the timer finishes - but that's the point. I would suggest allowing a way to invalidate a session after the app was accidentally left in continuos mode. I'd also like a way to tag projects as 'non-productive' and not counting towards the rankings.

To be honest, I have had this app for quite a while but recently really started using it regularly. And I have noticed that I am becoming more productive. I love that it gives me stats & tells me how many more minutes until my next rank. Not only am I exercising more now, but also cleaning, working, & learning more. Terrific app for those who want to be productive!!!

I love this app so much and it is really has been life changing for me, but there's one little glitch (it at least I think it's a glitch) that I keep encountering. For some reason, the counter stops recording my minutes in terms of my rank near the end of the day. It records my minutes worked, but doesn't always apply them toward my rank. For example, at 8pm, I had 21 more minutes to complete to maintain my rank. However, it's no longer showing me the amount needed to maintain the rank. In the past I wound up dropping three ranks though I'm sure I reached the minimum necessary. Has anyone else encountered this? I'm at "strategic asset" level at this point.

Excellent time-tracking app! No nonsense, just pick a bucket that you want your time to count towards and start the timer. I like the whistle sounds if the timer is open but not running, because it pulls my attention back to what I'm supposed to be doing. The stats on your average working times/days are nice to have for planning purposes. Also the "rank" feature is a neat way to push me to get just one more work session in. EASILY worth the one-time 10$ cost to upgrade!

UI is easy on the eyes, easy to navigate. Text is full of a healthy sense of humor, and the developer clearly gives a damn. App doesn't account for sick days, weekends, or vacations (which I get precious few of) - I shouldn't get demoted for those. Can they be factored in somehow? Also, a Pomodoro session sometimes gets forfeited if I'm doing other work on my phone.
