The Usage
Using Pomodoro Me is as easy as playing with a toy. Simply shake the app

The Default time in here is a set of 25 minutes, which is adjustable by going through "Settings" under the main section of it. It goes like this, first Choose a task you need to complete, then Set it either for the default timing of 25 minutes or a time limit of your choice, then continue with your task till the app starts ringing, then you can put a check on the task list. To calm down, you may take a short break of 5 minutes. For better results, if you by chance get interrupted during a session, you can put a different mark, like an alphabet or a sign like X. Remember that every 4 session would take a longer break than the regular ones.The Preference Settings

The iPod music can be played simultaneously when the app is running, which is really a great news for those who love to work with music.The Good
RecordsOne of the most important things that makes Pomodoro useful for everyone is the record keeping system which gives you the right picture of where you stand at the end of your day. The PT option is all about furnishing you with a record of what exactly you've accomplished that really increases the 'happiness index' after completing each set of tasks. For each and every session you cross with more or less a 25-minute activity block, you can write it down to curb down your memory pressure.
The Activity Inventory
If you are using a text file in the Dropbox, you will have an easy access to your phone via an app called Plaintext.
My list
On the left side of your laptop and on the right side of your phone, you can see an X which means a 'completed pomodoro', if you see a 'U' it will mean that your work was interrupted or it wasn't finished, and a # will stand for the tasks which are complete.
Focus
Focus is one of the greatest aspect of this app. Whenever you would be tempted to deviate to check your email or IMs, it will help you to remember that you are on the clock right now and time is passing out, that would remind you that you can get to that later once this particular session is over. Then you also have this simple timer in your menubar, which makes it all easy to see how much time you are left with. While most of the Pomodoro apps will help you set only for a few bucks, you can get a bunch of them which are free ones. Menubar Countdown is one such free version.
The Planning
Another great thing about the Pomedero method is the way it helps you in challenging yourself. When you start a day, set a goal for yourself which you would want to beat through your average task sessions you cover in a day. Getting that average picture is also good for indicating how much you are capable of accomplishing on a given time limit in a day, so that you can have a rough estimate of how much to compensate.The Not So Good
Inspite of a good set of features, Pomodoro isn't a perfect one, but then, what can claim to be so? But it is always better to be aware of them beforehand.
All Or Nothing
In this app you can either choose to work for 25 minutes and get a mark like an X, or you don't get a chance to complete it. Also, it is obvious that you can ignore emails for the time being, but when people start dropping in person, it isn't possible to make them come back after a certain number of minutes. 
In a nutshell
But overall Pomodoro is really a good stuff. It is actually the idea which I liked the most. Probably because it makes the implementation easy for a to-do list, management of an activity inventory or creating a chart sheet. It reminds you of stuff which holds you back from the temptation of killing time when you should not. In lighter tones, it has replaced the old school teacher with an inner sense of punishment and achievement.
