been using this for a couple of days and really enjoying it so far. using the big button to track distractions helps me cut them down. and the basic pomodoro functionality is great. only things that could be improved: 1. when first opening the app you see a big button which says to hit it when distracted, but it's not obvious that it's only when you're in a work session - just a minor UI/UX thing 2. I'd love to be able to set a longer break every few breaks (eg every 4th break is 15mins)

Hello Luis, We are really glad that you are finding the app useful! We'll work on it and improve it. Engross does have the option to set long break, while setting the timer, when you set 4 or more sessions, you'll see the option to set a long break every 'x' sessions. Please feel free to drop us a note at support@engrossapp.com, we'll assist you.

This app is so detailed with little features that you would never have thought of but they make it so intuitive and helpful!! The UI is really simple but effective, there's no irritating ads and the free version still has so many features. The premium is so cheap and a one time purchase unlike other apps! The help desk is genuinely lovely and helpful. You can make detailed sessions with revision time, breaks, and work time really easily and it makes you so productive! Great app, I love it!!

Ads were very intrusive. Couldn't work out the UI. I was really hoping it would be nice and easy to use but it wasn't at. Not sure whether I was able to do what i wanted to do, since there wasn't an option. Decided to delete because I couldnt imagine using it with adds and I didnt want to have to work everything out. I recommend to the developers that you have a day free trial with no ads, so that users can get that full experience and see if theyre missing on anything. Dissapointed, but I dont doubt that it can help others. Try it and you'll see.

We are really sorry for this. We understand that ads can be troubling, therefore we show only banner ads which are least intrusive of all & we do not show any ads while you are working. Trust me, your work time will never be interrupted by ads. If you have any confusions with UI, please feel free to write to us at support@engrossapp.com.
