This may be best pomodoro timer on the app store, but the bar is low!

I agree with the comments saying that the price is pretty steep given the features. I like the app, and feel that I have clearly benefitted from using it over the last few days, but certain aspects of the application are very far from polished.

My biggest complaint is that I purchased both the OSX and the iOS app thinking that my tasks would sync over iCloud, but they do not! Only the iOS version has iCloud support, so the tasks you add on OSX do not know anything about tasks you add on your iPhone, and visa versa. Not only was this really dissapointing, and amaturistic, but I found this incredibly misleading. On the company’s website, the way the photos of the desktop and mobile versions are juxtaposed really strongly implies there is some syncing going on here. I never would have purchased the iOS app had I known there was no syncing of tasks. I hope the developers push for adding this feature, but the website seems to be rather dismissive and evasive about whether or not they will.

I have lots of minor complaints about the design, and lack of features for a $10 app, but many other reviewers have already listed them. One thing that is sorely missing is some detailed tracking about task completion. The application pictures show a bar-chart button, implying you can track your progress, but the statistics they give here are so coarse that they are more or less useless. I want to be able to track my progress over time (as a bar-chart would imply), not just know how many tasks / sessions I’ve completed today and in total.
