Pros and cons of Be Focused Pro - Focus Timer app for iPhone and iPad

Be Focused Pro - Focus Timer app good for

But need better control for the series, like restart counting, start from a certain point, etc. If today I stop on the 3th pomodoro, tomorrow, after the first pomodoro, the rest is 15 minutes, like the first pomodoro was the 4th
The free version is good but I bought the paid one as gratitude.
Its great to have this kind of app nowadays. For instance, it allows me rise my productivity and feelings that I am doing the right thing to reach my goal.
It helps breaking big jobs into chunks and provides clear feedback about the time effectively used. I like that you can mark tasks as "done" so you also see that youre getting things done. Sync with Wunderlist or Omnifocus or GTD features in the App itself would take it to next level.
It is very nice, i just wish there was an option to connect to other services like toggl.com or it came with their own time managing web service
Pomodoro is an easy way to track and organise your tasks, your work process and progress. It is customisable and even provides statistics and goals. I use it almost every day and really appreciate it! PS: Would be really great if you would add a setting to include customised sounds as alerts. Im looking forward to it!

Some bad moments

The idea is great and simple. Unfortunately two things has to be improved: 1. App drains the battery too much (and its challenge on 6+) two stars down as the competition makes it much better 2. No possibility to change records. If you realise that you have set wrong activity. Again it is annoying and competition gives you this functionality. One star down. But the app is really nice if you those issues will be resolved than 5 stars.
Annoying bug: makes a stramge noise sound every second or so. Unusable like this.
Paid app, but displays ads for other apps as notifications. In-app notifications would be annoying, but acceptable. This is not
Its quite a lot of money for a fancy time keeper, but I got it so I can synchronize all my other devices aswell. That doesnt work. If youve done a few hours on one device and then open the app on another, it deletes all the hours youve done so far. Complete rubbish!
Thought this would be a good app boy I was very wrong. Idea was ok Ill give 1 star for that thought. Had it going then froze up completely. That was very disappointing. Guess Ill try something else.
Does not consistently notify me on my Apple Watch when the Pomodoro is complete
