Random timer - tick tock bomb

Bastian Springer

About this game

This app originates from the German tabletop game "Tick Tack Bumm". It cannot just be used for that game however. There are countless use cases for a random timer. Just set the minimum and maximum durations in the settings, hit start ("Bombe zünden"), and you're good to go.

With version 2.0 a lot of new features have been introduced. Starting off with multilingual support, the app now supports English and Swedish. If you could help translating the app to other languages, I would be very gracious :). Next, there is now a dark mode that can be tied to the system. Furthermore, there's a rewritten, stutter-free rules page as well as the ability to remote control the app from your smartwatch via the Wear OS companion app (this feature is still in beta).

You can also adjust the volume for the ticking noise and the booom sound separately, so if you don't feel like needing one or the other, you can just mute them.

If you like this app, please consider giving a review. Constructive feedback is greatly appreciated :)

Huge thanks go to my sister who helped with the graphics.

Ratings and reviews

Works, but not for my needs. You can enter two values (I entered 90 and 240) and it randomly triggers at an interval between those values, BUT, they are SECONDS, not MINUTES. I need a random timer that works in minutes, not seconds. Not worth calculating how many seconds are in an hour, an hour and a half, 4 hours, 5 and a half hours, etc. Good app other than no indication that it is counting in seconds rather than minutes. Also, despite having the volume up 3/4 of the way, I didn't hear it

Very happy with this. Perfect for playing quickfire Christmas games with the family. Nice to not have adverts taking up the whole screen as well. The bomb text is in German, but the interference is easy enough to understand regardless (Settings are in English)

This is exactly what I wanted. A ticking bomb sound effect with a timer that goes off randomly. You can set the time range. Easy to use!
