Productivity Challenge Timer for Android
I use this app obsessively to keep track of studying for professional school entrance exams, as well as job applications and side projects. LOVE the promotions/demotions system, and that you can forfeit a work session if you get off task. My biggest complaint: no phone locking timer feature. I have to run this app in tandem with 'cold turkey' or another self-control app to stay on task. I would pay for the full version if it included something like this.
This is the must-have-app for every student out there who are forcing themselves to study. Not only does it assist you in finishing that homework/prep. revision etc. , it also keeps you motivated by having a reward system to look after. Coupled with a great design, most notably the nice UI, you just can't resist your passion for it. If you're an avid user, you'll also notice that the app consists chunks of humour here and there, a welcome addition in eliminating excess seriousness. Overall, this app is an excellent timer effective in removing procrastination for good. Kudos to the developer for making such an useful masterpiece! :)
I downloaded this quite some time ago but never used it. I recently started using it and it has pushed my game up. I used to be a slacker who did nothing all day but now I am so active and productive. I just wanna boost my rank and my productivity stats on the app and that has made me work hard. I now have a solid work ethic thanks to this app. I am about to buy the pro version not because I need it but to support the developer. The descriptions are funny and the statistics are a great tracking method.
This app has completely changed our days. As a homeschooling family, our days don't have external structures (bells, buses, etc). So, I have to provide it. This app has made that so very easy! Our home is cleaner, chores are getting done, instruments are being practiced, school subjects are being studied, all with time left over each day! You should consider marketing this to homeschool families. I cannot believe how it has improved our school and home.
I've been using this app for years now, since it came out. It's the best Pomodoro app out there. Super clean UI. Every detail taken care of. Tremendous support by the developer. My only complaint is that I can't pay more for it and support further development. Though at this point I don't even know what I would add. This app is as close to perfect as it gets.
It really pushed me to study!! Not to fanatic about the ranking, however it does push you to get promoted... just wish there were better names for the promotions. . Still at level 5 though so maybe the higher ones are better. Really made me smile and kept me motivated. I would and have recommended to others. My #1 pick!
Does an excellent job of encouraging me to stay on task. Long break cycle doesn't correctly reset from one day to the next, though. (EDIT to respond to developer comment: Nope. There's definitely a 3+ hour gap as well as a midnight passing between sessions.)
Hands down it is the best app of its field and one of the best apps in Playstore. I definitely recommend it. It has the easy to use & cool features I love the most. It also comes with variety of functions which make it easier for the user to set according to their convenience. You can set it the way you like. For instance, the tick-tock sound, the time duration of the work session, short and long breaks, etc. Also, the graphics, data, settings, method, rewards make it much more cooler than the other apps.
I love this app and find it so useful. I highly recommend it for anyone who has trouble staying on task. Particularly great if you have ADHD and need a good tool. One suggestion for developer: it's incredibly masculine. Could you not add a Rosie the Riveter to represent women who are seriously committed to productivity? :)
As a college student, this app is great for organising myself for studying regularly and keeping track on how much ACTUAL time I'm spending on it. Really made me realise how many times I had thought to be studying for hours when in fact it only accumulated to a bit over an hour of study and mostly everything else just wasted time. Great app. Simple and effective. Also, the achievements and ranks (and developer comments) are pretty good.
I don't give 5 stars here and there. This app is true mater-class! Only one feature I wonder if possible, can you make possible to view stats in a certain interval? Like 9th Jan- 3rd March or something like that or it would be too tough or make the app a bit heavy?
The whole app is designed flawlessly. It plays on the human ego to make us want to keep working, to achieve the ranks and achievements. You lose rank if you slip up, and that's an even bigger source of motivation. I'll be unlocking the paid version as soon as I'm prompted too. Love this app.
I was told that in 2 hrs of study time, there should be a break every 30 minutes. If it weren't for this app, I would've wasted a minute in setting another alarm. plus this app has leveling and it just encouraged me to reach the top. I just reached Resign Attendant so yey. hehe. Thanks Developer
I really love this app. It lets me get so much stuff done and can track statistics on how much time individual projects take, which allows identification of where time could be trimmed off or where productivity is lagging. The paid version seems expensive though, at 6$. The app is not that complex and I'm sure many more people would purchase the full version if it were cheaper.
This app has kept me focused more than anything else I have tried before- I have tried ALOT! Very smartly created and ranking gives you something to work torwards. I also very highly recommend the pro-features. The value that you get is definitely worth it! One suggestion: can you make more ranks for those who are becoming practically workaholics with this app such as myself? I am trying to become an entreprenuer and entrepreneurs can work more than 12 hours a day!
Works really well for me! I bought the unlimited version where you can add as many projects as you want, because I'm always working on many things at the same time. This app works perfectly, no problems at all and it doesn't take too much space of my device or drain my battery. The app motivates me to study and to collect ranks and achievements. Also, I like the stats provided, it is useful to know how much time I have put in a project so that I can be prepared and start early for the next.
This is a brilliant app, it allows you to track the time you've spent on each project and gives you an overview. At the beginning I disliked that there was no pause button for work sessions but I have come to appreciate it as I actually concentrate for the specified time period. I have been a lot more productive since this app, simply because it forces me to concentrate for a specified period of time in which I then can't justify going on fb, reddit, etc
This app is amazing for procrastinators like me. I find myself driven to work on my projects so I can get a promotion. It's easy to use and has a cool looking interface. I'm 100% certain that I'll be able to complete my courses this year because of this app
The Pomodoro Technique definitely helps to spend more time focussed on a task, and this app does a great job of keeping you "on it". The tongue-in-cheek humour isn't too much, and the stats are really useful for keeping track of where time goes. Cracking!
The first three days, I was shocked by how few hours I'd actually worked, and by how exhausted I was from it. You think you're putting in an honest eight hours right now, but that first time putting in 6:40 with a ticker in your ear driving you to keep working, and you'll see just how unproductive you've been. I've had to come up with new to-do lists because I've killed everything I've been working on. This app is AMAZING.
Nice design.. Overall the best app to stay productive. My only complaint being the inability of this app to lock the phone while the session is going on.. It would have been way better if you just freeze the phone while the timer is set. Please work on this part.
Interface is great. Because it doesn't let me pause is precisely why it can get me to stay on track. Recommended for all those who were used to work hard once upon a time but have lost craze over time AND want to regain their lost shine.
The curiosity that drove me to find out what the next rank is called is why this app shone for me. It's just so much fine! Don't know if I'll ever reach the top rank, but I'm certainly dying to find out what it's called!
At the first glance I thought this is a dull and boring app, especially bcoz of the dark themed pics of this app. After trying out every other glamorous looking app on playstore finally I thought to try this, and now I'm in love with this app. It helps me keep motivated and not procrastinate on whatever I'm on to.
I find the timer by project to be really useful. I wanted more than 3 projects so I paid to upgrade. I am not sure that the added features are worth the price. I wish that I could tell this app to block apps on my phone when it is running a session. If that was added then the price would seem more worth it and I would probably give this 5 stars.
I got this for the communist aesthetic, and i must say i am very pleased with the name of the final rank. (No spoilers!) The developer has taken the pomodoro concept and turned it into something greater, more accessible, and definitely more motivational. I love the snarky sense of humour and the comprehensive stats. I would definitely get the pro mode if i had a paying job. The only way this could be improved is adding more ranks.
Matches my mood. Excellent. While one can beat any good app. For this, I have an idea. Create a project called 'procrastination' and work on it all day long without taking any breaks. Wow, great 'ranks' will pop up. :) One suggestion, while selecting projects, add a search field so one can enter a few letters to reduce time wasted while one is so busy in 'procras....'. Cheers.
Love it, really. The way it buzzes and whistles at you when you hang out on the work screen is a nice touch. I would like to see it have an alarm, though. A reminder to get to work, really. Bought it for continuous mode, and I really like it! Fantastic for if you keep procrastinating to start the timer after the break.
There needs to be an option to end a work session early without forfeiting it. I will finish a project and have to let the timer run out before I start a new project. Conversely, you can forfeit it, but then that time is not counted as complete. It says why in the notes of the app, but you could add a COMPLETE button there so that you're not tempted to pause or something. I would rate 5 stars if that were fixed.
Thank you Dev. for working on Suggestions relentlessly. New suggestion - 1. Adding overtime feature in the notification bar where time is displayed, so that app is not required to be opened to increase the remaining time. 2. I have read the app description that this app is not for managing the tasks, yet, can you please think over the feature to add a ToDo list with the app itself so that it motivates the fast finishing of a task just decided upon besides the project that requires much more effort and time to complete that sometimes lead to procrastination? Thank you for the app though. I had given up on the app once after reaching Udarnik and losing that rank due to some demotivation in general but your improvements of the app drew me back and I will try to regain that rank back.
Have used this app for three weeks. The Tough Love (ok, whip-cracking slave-driving) is really helping me to focus. I love the way it bullies me into getting back to work. Much more fun than conventional apps.
Overtrowing the Bourgeoisie is a difficult and unrewarding job. Nevertheless with the time tracking functionalities and the implementation of the Pomodoro technique in this app instigating the proletarian uprising has never been easier. I rate this app a 5 out of 5 for the 5 year plan and also give it a nsfw- not safe from work labor. I give its color schemes and propaganda posters a Marximum score and recommend it to all commies because it is free.
No matter how many times I try to go pro mode..this app doesn't let me to.everytime I try to make payment.this shows"please enter correct information" I tried my card..friends many others too,but the result is same.you tell me is there any different option to pay you?.kindly reply me
This app just clicks for me in a way that most other time and work trackers don't. If you need a kick in the ass every now and again to actually grind it out, this app will do that. Get the Pro version, it's well worth it.
This app is awesome and anyone who wants to track their productivity should try it. I paid for the pro version just because I wanted to support the developer. The free version should work for most people unless you have multiple projects you need to track properly.
I am having an issue changing the time for one of my sessions. All the rest will change but the first one I created. Thanks. I really like the app. Edit: That's exactly what I mean. It won't change when I start a session. Thanks for the reply. Edit 3: Very open service. I bought the premium and have had no problems since.
This is the only app I have ever paid for and I love it! For someone like me who has some attention problems and very heavy workload this is a great app. The only thing I would have loved to see would be to integrate a to-do list so that I don't need to use a second app. Congrats to the developers!
I love this app. The achievements are a great way to gamify how many sessions you take each day. After I reach a certain rank I don't want to be demoted so I push on to maintain it. When I'm on a roll I try to push even further to reach the next rank
All of these apps are glorified timers; this one has a personality. I have ADHD and I just need to stay on track, the plain ones bore me. This has enough bells and whistles to keep me amused and engaged, perfect for work and home both. Thank you!

An app that promotes phenomenal increment in productivity was just what I was looking for - - this app is a blessing! So far, I haven't faced a single technical issue. The witty nagging and the reward system leave me with no option but to get to work. The perfectly timed advertisements are a very refreshing change. I love the fact that I can't pause my work session. I'd have already updated to the premium version had I not been a completely broke student; although I do hope to do so in the future. Thanks to the team for developing such a wonderful app.
