HOW SURE ARE WE
Not in any grossing chart, so this comes from ratings growth (13 new ratings a month on average since launch): revenue grows with new ratings, more slowly for apps that collect ratings fast. Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2 times, and big earners tend to come out low. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

Bugs, things not working29%

12 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ The block scheduling also just doesn't work reliably.
★★★★★ First the Focus Keeper app got entirely destroyed and buggy, now this changed to “Pond”?
★★★★★ I purchased this after the free version for the sole purpose of changing that terrible red color to something better. It crashes the moment you attempt the change.
Worse after an update19%

8 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ The developers have completely replaced the app that originally garnered the high reviews you see. This used to be a very simple and easy to use pomodoro app that was good for setting interval timers. That is what the…
★★★★★ It was suddenly updated and is put behind a paywall.
★★★★★ Then one day my app updated to become Pond.
Wrong or poor results12%

5 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ This used to be an incredibly great app but now they've utterly ruined it and turned it into useless garbage.
★★★★★ Edit: okay, so the app stops counting when you leave it or lock screen now, making it pretty much useless to me.
★★★★★ It was that good and still can be, but without the ability to have this app run in the background it is USELESS!!!
Slow, laggy, battery10%

4 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Once great app for simple time keeping and focus now turned into an overreaching subscription based bs. The dev team can pound sand.
★★★★★ The active notifications banner stays wide so I can't see the clock or battery indicator whenever a block period is going.
★★★★★ now when i disable “prevent screen lock” to try and save my battery life on my devices it doesn't accurately keep track of my time spent studying (i've timed it and it lags and it ends up documenting a lot less time…
No customer support10%

4 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I loved this app and I religiously used the free version, I wanted to upgrade to support the developers but I'll probably end up going back to the free because when the phone goes to sleep or the window is running in…
★★★★★ I'm resorting to posting this review because, as at least one other reviewer has pointed out, the app and “application support” link to a tumblr page, which displays a different email address than the contact address…
★★★★★ No iPhone X support and it appears to be abandoned by the developer.
Price and subscription7%

3 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Once great app for simple time keeping and focus now turned into an overreaching subscription based bs.
★★★★★ This was an amazing pomodoro timer app — and it was free and without a subscription.
★★★★★ What a colossal waste of money and the opposite of what the purpose should be for the app.
Crashes and freezes5%

2 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ This app crash constantly especially when you click to change color them
★★★★★ It crashes the moment you attempt the change.
Too many ads5%

2 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ It was excellent and simple—its simplicity set it apart from a market full of bloated apps with too many tools and too many ads.
★★★★★ It was easy to use, didn't have ads or the need for a premium version.

Easy to use28%

37 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ I like that there's no frills. I sit down and start it and boom. I like that you can mute the ticking. I really really like that I haven't found any in app purchases. Thank you!
★★★★★ It's simple, easy to setup, easy to customize and no ads.
★★★★★ It's easy and I didn't have to spend more than two minutes figuring out how it works.
Useful, it helps22%

29 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ Timer works well. Is really the only way I can keep myself working at … work. No ads, not asking me to buy stuff all the time. Use it all day.
★★★★★ has really up to my game on Songwriting and piano helps me stay focused on what I need to do without worrying about how much time I'm spending on it.
★★★★★ Just found this app and I love it. No ads. Easy to use. And is accurate (no lags). What more could you ask for. However, you can't adjust the time for more or less than 25 minutes but that doesn't really bother me much
Looks great18%

24 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ Look, a “minimalist” aesthetic pomodoro timer was charging $30/month, and this is free.
★★★★★ It's free, has great work sounds, has a simple and efficient interface, and a minimalist yet customizable design, what more are you looking for?
★★★★★ The interface is so neat and clean - not a single unnecessary tab.
Worth the money8%

баг мешает

приложение красивое, но функционал не очень. установила лимит на открытие приложения, в итоге не могу зайти в него, не смотря на то что лимит еще не закончился. просто экран виснет и кнопки «Разблокировать» и «Закрыть приложение» не нажимаются

Down the drain

Once great app for simple time keeping and focus now turned into an overreaching subscription based bs. The dev team can pound sand.

★★★★★May 28, 2026
What the heck?

Like others, I was surprised to see a once-great timer app completely change into something else with no warning. Originally it was the Focus Keeper app, and now it’s a garbage app that wants your data.

★★★★★May 20, 2026
Nice idea but very buggy

I like the idea of this app and the features, but it would be nice if it worked a bit better. The active notifications banner stays wide so I can’t see the clock or battery indicator whenever a block period is going. The block scheduling also just doesn’t work reliably. I just had to play with the settings on a block to get the app to notice that it was scheduled and actually activate it. It’s also weird to market a nice simple, bug-free pomodoro timer app (which attracted lots of appropriately great reviews) and then suddenly replace it on everyone’s devices with this really heavy, kind of invasive app with paid features. I actually like what “Pond” is going for but… kinda skeevy tbh. And buggy.

★★★★★May 17, 2026
App changed fundamentally

This used to be a pomodoro timer and is now a spyware app (asked for screen time access?!?!).

★★★★★May 13, 2026
What did you do

This used to be a simple, nonintrusive timer. Now it requires additional access. I don’t need all these stupid bells and whistles - I just want my pomodoro timer

Store description

Pond - Your Digital Sanctuary A mindful app blocker for screen time balance and digital wellbeing You already know the feeling. Another evening lost to scrolling. Reaching for your phone during dinner. The exhaustion of being always on. Your phone promised connection. Instead, it scattered your attention into a thousand pieces. Pond is different. A gentle app blocker and screen time tracker that helps you reclaim your time. Not through guilt or gamification, but through quiet intention and mindful awareness. Three Things That Matter: Daily Balance Score One number that shows the quality of your digital day. Are you creating or consuming? Connecting or scrolling? Resting or stimulating? Not to judge—to help you notice. Track your digital wellbeing and build healthier phone habits. Mindful Blocking Set focus sessions for work, meditation, meals, or sleep. Block distracting apps and social media automatically. Your scattered attention becomes whole again. Just you and what you chose to do. Your Lotus Garden Each moment of presence blooms a lotus in your pond. Not points or streaks—just quiet beauty that grows with your practice. A visual reminder of time well spent and focus reclaimed. What You Can Do: • Block distracting apps during focus time • Set daily limits on social media and screen time • Schedule recurring sessions (work, sleep, meals, study) • Track your balance and phone usage without judgment • Take mindful breaks with breathing prompts • See weekly patterns in your digital life This Isn't Another Productivity App Pond won't buzz you to work harder. Won't shame you for a bad day. Won't turn presence into competition. Just a quiet space. A gentle reminder. A place to return to stillness. Perfect for those seeking digital detox, building healthier phone habits, improving focus, or simply using their phone more intentionally. Pond — a calmer way to use your phone.
