More confusing than helpful
Due to the 5-star evaluations here in the app store I was convinced to get a premium app at that price.
Yet I was deceived and have some critics, resp. feedback for optimisation:
- the description of the indicators that the app shows (inner and outer circle in dock icon and menu icon) is not spontaneously clear (description missing)
- the usage of the indicators (colours, circle length) is more confusing than helpful (e.g. if you don’t move the mouse/touchpad for some seconds the app considers this as a ‚natural break‘ - which is not correct, as it is not really a break: your eyes and brain are still working. This could be much simpler, clearer and helpful
- the micro pauses don’t pop up in a ‚logical‘ flow: same problem as with the indicator of the icon in dock: once you move the mouse the pause is postponed - no button to change/influence this
- there is no option to add a digital time indicator to the menu bar icon (which is a common standard for such apps).
+ the support/feedback is quick and informative
IN SUM:
+ nice idea. Hope, there will be an update for this app soon - as the idea of an animated icon in the dock is nice and ‚unique‘ - that’ s why I decided to chose this app
- yet: the current version makes few sense/help in usage (you concentrate more on the changing unlogic colours than on your work - or: pause.
