Ratings and reviews

Extremely straightforward and non-intrusive. No stupid popup messages that cover 1/4 of my phone when watching a video while waiting for bread to rise. It's a better timer application than the stock timer. I do have one problem with it, which is: When the timer ends while your phone is off, and the timer goes off that wakes the phone, if you turn off the timer in that screen, the timer does end but the alarm sound still plays. I do have one feedback: This really needs an "hours" category.

Given the emphasis in visuals, a full screen flash option would be high priority for maximum visibility in scenarios where sound isn't ideal. Fairly good app nonetheless. Stopping sometimes puts the app in an inconsistent state, requiring app restart. EDIT: unexpected states after stopping still persist on latest version.

Interesting method but needs work to be a useful app. Seems stable. Main issue is you can't time more than an hour. Presets are behind a menu click. The wheel takes up too much space and should be one of several choices for non numeric input, not the only one.
