Cons
Con No pause button
Work or break timers cannot be paused, only stopped completely, forcing you to start another work session all over again, and even resetting the Pomodoro count until the next long break.
Con todo.txt plugin file picker and multi counter preferences manager can confuse
Con Using system sounds is a unstable feature
This feature is currently in Beta and may not work on some devices, possibly restricting you to the app's limited selection of sounds.
Con Statistics can to be improved
Con Buggy timer
When in full screen timer mode and switching from portrait to landscape view or the other way round, the timer will sometimes jump to 0, which really gets on your nerves after some time.
Con Advertising
Advertising in the free version.
Con Faulty statistics
The calculation of the total time spent working does not work correctly, e.g. the statistics show 4:10 hours for a total of 6 x 50 minutes sessions, which should result in 5:00 hours.
