Ratings and reviews

Bookmarking doesn't work, and attempting to delete a boommark crashes the app. Time selection works, though—unless the random time's minimum is set as 0s, in which case it only ever rings immediately. That's another thing: the app for some reason uses the phone's "Ring & notification volume" instead of its "Alarm volume," meaning that if you have your phone set to vibrate, it will only vibrate, instead of making noise, even if it overrules do not disturb. Also, the screen does not resize to fit.

I'm glad this uses open source libraries, and has a clean UI, but the function of the random ticker doesn't work. I've enabled notifications, and once the timer does end, the assigned notification sound does play. However, as it stands now, this is a glorified countdown timer, until this bug is addressed. (I recall it working correctly when I first installed so I'm not sure why it stopped working)

They used to have a display to see how long the timer had been running. I wish they would bring that back in the next update. The previous version also had a button on the display to reset the timer after it had started. A widget display would also be a great addition.
