heyo! very nice app, suggestion: make the buttons in general (especially on top of the screen) somewhat bigger and not completely mushed against the side (which is hard to press on big phones with curved screens), also during work, make the pause, abort etc. buttons underneath the progress circle further apart from eachother, as they are very close by which can cause misclicks.

Pro: I really enjoy the ability to customize the app to my needs. It also has a nice interface. The pomodoro method is hit-or-miss for me, but the app is quite useful for when the method does work. Tip: I'd like it if I could set up re-current reminders if the break session ended and I didn't acknowledge it. I get distracted during breaks and have forgotten to go back to the session on multiple occasions. It would have been awesome if it alerted me to it's existence every 5 min or so.

This is a great app! I would love to see a way to customize the alarms for switching between break and productivity. Currently I just get a notification sound and the phone vibrates, but I usually have those turned off because I don't want to get distracted by those. Just a tip to improve the app even more!
