Ratings and reviews

Pretty useful when cooking with this. Able to take my eyes off the timer, without worry. Watch some news, quick nap, bathroom breaks. Why limit the timer to only 60 minutes? I mean I need to do something that is over the 1 hr. Really limiting, other stuff I wanted to do. Any chance of updating, extending the timer? Ok, there was problem with the timer, when I was playing a game on the phone, the timer stopped it happened twice. Why is that. It doesn't happen when I'm watching youtube?

Works really well and doesn't steal data! It's customisable in a way that really suits me. I can have it use my "media" channel while I listen to podcasts or music and have it mute that so I can hear the remaining time spoken, or I can chose not to do that. I can set loads of "remaining time" type alerts, or some, or none. The choice is great! My only gripe is you can't set an alarm for longer than 3 hours or have an alert every xx mins for the full duration of the timer, only the last hour.

Fabulous!!!!! Just what I needed for bathing my dog and applying certain chemicals at specific times! THANK YOU for giving us an ad-free high quality app!!!

What’s new

Changed the "seconds" wheel to allow 0-59 seconds, instead of the previous 0, 5, 10, 15, etc.

Added a menu to simplify the interface and make the app more user-friendly.

Added Terms of Use for the app — just in case someone misses a plane and blames the timer! :-0
