Be Focussed Pomodoro Timer

[nelsonic]

I've been test-driving this app Be Focussed on Mac: https://xwavesoft.com/be-focused-pro-for-iphone-ipad-mac-os-x.html

The nag-ware pop-up on the "free" version is infuriating!

So I'm going to pay the £1.79 for the "Pro" version and test out a few of the features.

Interesting that it doesn't automatically do the import ...

Someone must have asked for this to be optional ... 💭

The iPhone/iPad apps are a separate purchase. 🤦‍♂️

If you upgrade to the "Pro" version from the ad-supported one, you end up with two apps on your device:

I understand why the dev wants to have an ad-supported version for the people who are too stingy to pay for the App.
But the UX is lame. 🙄

Signup form:

I've just signed up & logged in on 2 devices and immediately I see that the time for a timer/task is not in sync!! 🤦‍♂️
If you start/stop the timer on one device it's not stopped/started on the others!! 🤷‍♂️
This is the most basic UX feature I would expect from a multi-device app.

Not having the timers synched between devices is such a deal-breaker for me. 🤦‍♂️
I don't "regret" paying the money for the "Pro" versions from a UX-testing perspective ...
but as a "user" of the product. I feel it falls significantly short of expectations/potential.
