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. very good timer extended, from 60 min to 1hrs 30min, 2hrs, 2hrs 30min, 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.

just a clunky countdown timer that speaks how many minutes or second you have left. no sequential timers that walk you through executing a multi step task efficiently. this is not it. I don't feel bad giving 1 start. this app probably took 14 minutes to make.

What’s new

Fixed a bug where the Stop/Done button could remain disabled after a timer completed, making it inoperable until the app was restarted. Thank you to JW for letting me know!
