Just Timers

Thanks Reddit i knew about this timer. Thats exactly what i wanted to have) Really helpful and has very good UI.

I could easily create a shortcut to start one of my timers before the update. Now, I only see the shortcut option for the creation of a new timer. Am I missing something?

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.

This is by far one of the best apps that I have used. The integration with Shortcuts is top-notch.

This app is amazing 1. Its free version is excellent and has zero ads 2. Upgrading is cheap ($5 one-time purchase), and in return you get interval timers and URL Call backs 3. The best shortcut integration out of any timer app. You can start, stop, restart, create, etc Best part, developer is still updating and is active. I found this app, because I saw the dev respond to someone’s reddit post about wanting a timer that does xyz. If you’re looking for an affordable good timers app, you’re in the right place

Update: I imported V2 timers as mentioned on the app description page, which did restore my old timers. The app behavior isn’t always consistent (for example, I just deleted a couple of timers, which then almost immediately un-deleted themselves upon app re-launch). I have had difficulty resetting timers in the past (like via my Apple Watch). This app doesn’t collect personal info like other multitimer apps in the market, so it’s worth dealing with.

[Original review redacted] First: I apologize for piling on with the negativity. I was out of line. So, after beta testing and trying both of your official releases of 2.x and 3.x, I found that it wasn’t remotely similar to the original release, which I had just paid for at the time, years ago. After the 2.0 release came out, I was bothered that it wasn’t anything like what I had just paid for. Never mind the bugs. I have realized that this just isn’t the right app for me anymore, and I took my issue out on you, the developer, who is clearly trying their best. With your latest release, I did not give it a fair chance and rated it unfairly. I do believe this is the right app for A LOT of people. That said, I have a suggestion that I think will be helpful for everyone, both old and new users alike. Premade templates of all of the different types of timers the app offers. The screenshot of the multicolored timers in the App Store, looked very appealing. However, between the learning curve and the time it takes to create these from scratch, the task can seem overwhelming. At the very least, clear explanations of how each setting should behave, tips to generate the different timers, and contradictions we may run into would be HUGE. Especially with the symbol-only settings. It’s possible that what many perceive as bugs are from an incorrect expectation of how each setting is to act.

Version 3 is much more performant, less buggy, and seems not to consume battery despite widgets and live activities. Really appreciating the upgrade so far
