## Periodic Timer Reviews in United States

### **--- "Does not fully remove itself when deleted"
The app did not work for me so I deleted it, but it still shows up in my notifications options which is really annoying.
The app should clean up its garbage.
-- Z4AM, 2025-12-05

### ****- "Too touchy but useful"
Too touchy but useful. It gets into so many different modes with just an incidental brush. The lap count has three differing display representations: total time, count minus current lap time or count plus current lap time but to control this it is a screen swipe instead of a settings item. Screen swipes are hard to do while exercising and I want the last representation - it switches unexpectedly by some incidental touch on me.  I would like an exercise time period and a rest time period for some exercises - I use IOS stopwatch for those exercises. Maybe the upgraded version has this option?  I do find this apt VERY useful though!
-- Conofyties, 2025-07-10

### ***** "It’s perfect"
Don’t change it
-- TJ MACKS, 2025-06-24

### ***** "Does the job"
Does exactly what I need it for. Thanks gang
-- Jo6733, 2025-05-12

### **--- "Notifications aren't reliable"
I'll set the timer and sometimes it triggers a notification at the selected intervals, but most of the time it doesn't. Even with my volume switch flipped on and volume turned all the way up, it just refuses to notify me, meaning I have to keep an eye on it the entire time. I can do that with the regular built in stopwatch app.
-- Calculuzz, 2025-01-25

### ****- "Add topic/hint"
It would be nice to have the option, as Apple alarms do, to add a note, to remind you why you set the timer. OK, now it’s time to… do what?
-- Alaska Songbird, 2025-01-21

### ***-- "Used to be my favorite timer"
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.
-- Mary#4, 2024-08-23

### ***** "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.
-- Spontaneous poetry, 2024-03-20

### ***** "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!
-- biscuit753, 2024-03-11

### ***** "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
