Excellent Update

As a student, I’ve recorded over 3,000 strictly timed pomodoros using this app. The updated version contains a lot of useful features such as activity categorization, landscape, and better data management.

There’s still bugs to work out with some of the sounds and settings, but these are minor and the developer has been very responsive about fixing them as they come up.

Having the ability to switch off activities would make a large group of people happy because the GUI has allocated a lot of space to allow for this feature. However, I can see from the developer’s standpoint how having to manage two separate sets of GUIs would be annoying to implement. It’s one of those situations where it’s difficult to please everyone. I’m very happy with the addition of activities. If you do not use activities, I would recommend waiting to update to the new version because that’s really the entire point of the update.

As for the new look, I’m not a huge fan, but it’s honestly not that bad. Everyone has their own preference of colors anyways. If you’re serious about using pomodoros to improve your productivity, you really shouldn’t care.
