Hi folks.
Can anybody recommend a pomodoro timer app which is completely accessible with voiceover please? I’ve tried several iphone apps but either the buttons arn’t clearly labeled or not labeled at all. Any suggestions would be much appreciated! Thanks so mutch!

two accessible pomodorro apps
So far, I've found two fully accessible choices. I'll start with Pommie. It's a very simple app with a button for settings plus buttons to start, stop and skip stages of your timer. I remember paying for it but can't remember how much it was.
For a far more complex choice allowing for all kinds of productivity tracking and having other advanced options, check out an app called Focused Work. You can use a basic version for free, but need to pay a subscription to use more advanced features. It was made in Australia and that comes through in the notifications as well as in the information about the app.
Both of these apps allow for sound cues to indicate when the next stage is reached or the cession ends. Pommie has been more than enough to meet my needs, but it was years after I started using Focused work before I stumbled onto Pommie. I'm therefore able to recommend both apps having experienced their accessibility and quality first hand. Hopefully, one will suit your needs. Best of luck.
Thanks so mmuch!
Thanks so much for that Micheal. Hat’s a big help! I’ll certainly give those apps a go.
