Just Timers

Wo

It worked well when I first got it. Now, it’s super buggy and doesn’t sync well between devices.

I downloaded this app to automate multiple timers with shortcuts, but it appears to be buggy from top to bottom. Timers are not deleted, sounds don’t play on timer completion (on of the core features to me). Perhaps, formerly this app made sense but now it needs a second review from the dev.

This is the UNIX philosophy in an app. Do one thing and do it well. Too many apps just want to run your whole life, this one doesn’t.

Tolle App, funktioniert gut. Wünsche mir nur eigene Töne für die Alarme.

It works really well and solves the pressing issue that the stock iOS timer to this day still only supports one active timer.

Auf meiner Apple Watch erinnert mich die App nur, wenn ich sie öffne. Das macht wenig Sinn für mich. Vielleicht gibt’s dafür ne technische Lösung, ich hab lange gesucht, aber nichts gefunden

The app has the potential to solve multiple problems including the lack of iCloud syncing in the native timer app. The problem is that the app in its current state is underdeveloped. There are too many problems. For one thing the timer doesn’t sound if your device is on silent mode. This alone is a deal breaker for me. The settings are not straight forward and there’s a bit of a learning curve. There’s no way to set a default sound I’m finding myself changing the alarm sound each time I set a new timer. The iCloud sync feature did not reliably work for me in the couple of trials I had. I paid for tier 2 in the spirit of supporting the developer as they seem to be active and working on the app. I’m sure it will one day get there!

I wanted a timer app that helps me keep track of small workout intervals, and this looked great. It feels very modern-iOS as you swipe around it, but in real usage it seems extremely buggy: * After upgrading to the interval functionality, I had it restore stock timers. Then when I tried deleting the ones I don’t need, it started flipping out: appearing to delete timers I wanted to keep, then showing them again after I deleted the next one. Very confusing. After a quit and restart, the stock timers were all back. * tried defining an interval timer and had to go back to messages to check some details; the interval sheet I’d started to fill out was gone and all my progress was lost. That was all before I’d even seen a timer in action. I’m happy for everyone that says they like and use this app, but at breakage this basic a level, i can’t see myself trusting it enough to sink more time into using it.

It's basically unusable on the watch. It actually just went off even though I haven't used the app in at least two days and the complications won't show correctly, amongst other things. The phone app seems fine however.
