Used to be my favorite timer

Mary#4 on

I used this on my Apple Watch for multiple things. I’m a PE teacher, so it was used a lot. I upgraded and sorry I did. I can’t get either one to show up on my watch face. This is a big deal for me. I feel as though I wasted the $2. While it’s not going to put me in the poor house, I lost something that was very valuable to me as a teaching tool.

Love that this runs in the background

This app is helping me to discover something pretty incredible - but which is only interesting to a very specific type of nerd. I use the app to track the expansion and contraction of the universe, a phenomena which can both be observed by looking at slime mold under microscope, and can also be experienced as a sensation in the body (useful for meditation). That it runs in the background even when the app is closed was a surprise bonus feature, but it has helped me to realize how consistent and exact are the 100 second cycles, and also that there are occasionally stillpoints of exactly 50 seconds. Sorry if this makes no sense, I can’t help it if I’m a nerd. But thank you for making this app available, well worth $2 or more.

Great app

This app is incredibly streamlined and easy to use, I love how it gives you exactly what you asked for with nothing random or extra. It was the exact app I was looking for even though me needs were very niche. I do have one annoyance which is even tho my phone is on silent the notifications don't vibrate I am going to look into fixing that but that's it!

Finally found what I needed

Super simple. Works perfectly. Wanted repeating timer that does seconds and minutes interval - this does just that. Put phone on silent for haptic only. Please add iPhone capabilities

Vibrate

The beep sound is too low which is unnoticeable, timer is of no use.

From useful to useless

Demonkick on

United States

Why did they ban the notification when the time is reached? This app becomes useless to me in one night.

It works but…

Justanothetalex on

United States

It sort of does what it’s supposed to do in the most basic and limited way possible. You can only set two intervals and only in whole minute increments.

NO SOUND!!

Ventilator74 on

United States

Let me guess. You have to PAY TO GET SOUND TO WORK! My volume is maxed out my phone is not on vibrate. I see a message BUT NO SOUND! I am on a ventilator and HAVE A DISABILITY! I WAS, going to use this to set intervals between time I spend off the ventilator, and time I spend ON, the ventilator! I can’t get sound to work, much less set the timer sound! I now have to find another app! I can’t find a free one without in-app purchases. Thanks for NOTHING!!!!!
