Ratings and reviews

Simple. Intuitive. I'm surprised that the timer display is of an analog clock. My old person brain finally switched to using digital clocks. I'd be fine with an option of just a large digital count down timer. However, activating most of the options in settings is a good workaround. I wish for a short ring option of 3 beeps. There are times when I don't have a free hand to turn off the sound. I wonder how this is a free app without adds. I'd be willing to pay a bit. Do you have a donation jar?

Looks great. But when the alarm went off and I hit "stop," it didn't stop. There was no accessing it to try again. Stopping and starting the app didn't end the alarm. I had to uninstall the app to make the alarm stop. (Updated 11/17/24, Replying to developer) I installed, tried, and uninstalled the app yesterday, so it was whatever version was available yesterday. I haven't reinstalled it.)

I really appreciate that this app is ad-free, not bloated at all, and includes a dark theme. Everything is readily accessible. The two improvements I'd like are to have an automatically repeating countdown feature, and for your preset clock to be larger and say what time you are selecting. I had to create a preset three times to get one for 2 minutes. Oh, and if long pressing a preset would allow you to edit as well as delete, that would also be good.
