Timer for Negative User Reviews
✓ No soundNo sound at all.Version: 2.3
✓ Half MissingI have been using this TImer for a year, with daily frustration. There are basically two ways to use it: Single Event or Loop. I use it in loop fashion, so I can time my exercises. During the first time period, the numbers are large and clear. When it repeats, however, the numbers change to small, dark blue numerals on a black background. WHY?! The point of a Repeat function is to allow you to do the same timing all over again, without having to stop and reset the timer. The unreadable numerals defeat the purpose. There are no settings to change this glaring error. I also found that on the Timer Support site, there is no place to write in for support that I could find! So, here is my public outcry. PLEASE change the numerals to be the same, large and readable, with each loop of the timer..Version: 2.3
✓ Flexible app, some notifications don't work with iOS 5I love the flexibility of this timer -- I use it to track uneven intervals for running (e.g., 4 minutes on, 1 minute off). It's difficult to set up but can be figures out if you're persistent. However, some of the alarm settings -- specifically, vibrate notifications that can be felt through a case during exercise -- do not work when the screen is locked (manual or automatic). There are workarounds, but they are battery-expensive. Would love to see this fixed!.Version: 3.2
✓ Will do a lot but too complicatedI deleted the app in the end. It does great things but it is not intuitive to set up, the layout is confusing and the features contradict or cross over each other. It took way way too long to set up a moderately complex routine. Developer very responsive, but app interface has not improved..Version: 5.2
✓ Overly complex and confusing interfaceAll I want to do is program a timer with a title and end-of-time ring tone. This sort of does that but it has so many features that are so poorly described that you don't know how it's supposed to work. Furthermore, I paid extra to save my settings for specific timer tasks but it keeps asking me to "load preset - are you sure" and then it erases my programmed task! This is the kind of lame programming that I wish to avoid - despite paying extra I'm going to delete it from my phone. A total waste..Version: 3.0
✓ UpdateUpdate has ruined this app now..Version: 5.2
✓ Good for the priceGood timer. Doesn't alert you if you are playing a game on your device at the same time tho!.Version: 0
✓ Almost perfectVery good for board games, cooking etc... The only thing missing is a restart button, which would be good for timing turns in games. And how about a stop watch function as well counting upwards?.Version: 0
✓ Timer AppI really like this app but it has closed several times unexpectedly while I was programming and it looses the work I have done. It doesn't seem stable. Eventually after several frustrating tries I can get it to work but only due to my patience. I even saved my work once and the program dropped out loosing the work I had previously saved. That was truly upsetting... I still give it three stars as it does what I want in the end but the instability needs to be fixed and it needs to truly save your work..Version: 4.0
✓ Good app, but ...Good app but let down by the fact that the minimum time it can be set to operate is 5 secs - need to fix this!.Version: 4.0
✓ Good but speed buttons would make it greatThis app has improved over time and is a good timer. The recent adding of presets was a good move. The problem is that shifting between presets requires five taps before the next preset is running. I'd like that reduced to one tap by adding four speed buttons to thr screen. One tap of a speed button stops the current timer and starts the next. For people like me that are constantly switching between presets this would be wonderful..Version: 3.1
✓ Almost perfect for meThis is a great little timer app. I love the events (even though they made events an "in app" purchase). They're very useful for letting you know things like 1/2 way done, 1 min to go, etc. What would make this perfect would be the ability to run multiple timers at once. There's a competetive app that offers that feature, but not events. Hoping for multiple timers in the next update..Version: 3.1
✓ ClaysongsDon't download update- really disappointed!! What used to be a great simple timer has now become an over complicated app, you have to buy the sounds extra for 2.49, I will delete it,.Version: 4.0
✓ Not what i was lookingBut hey let me spend $aud2.50 to find out, the stars are associated with the fact that they charge 2.50 for a timer and then have an in app purchase of 2.50 if you want to change your presets, this seems pretty fundamental and therefore this app is a rip off..Version: 3.1
✓ Physical therapy optionsThis app is the closest that I can get to what I need. Plus it's easy to use. Thanks. But I need to do redundant exercises like 10 times for 10 seconds each. It would be perfect if I could set the number of times the timer loops. It drives me crazy tracking the exercises. There are probably a huge amount of people doing physical therapy that would love that aid..Version: 0
✓ A little more than I wanted in a timerFirst, let me say that it's a good app and it's perfect for a person that uses timers in their daily life regularly. However, I must stay that I purchased this particular timer app because it was a full function app after you pay the premium price. After I did that, I found so much more and actually more than what I needed. I wanted a simple timer that I could configure for stretching that would repeat itself and that was adjustable on the fly. I have not figured on how to do this. It should not be this difficult. A helpful example on how to do this would be beneficial. Just because you understand how to do something does not mean that everyone else does. Lastly, it's a good app but a little much if you are an occasional timer user. Tschuss.Version: 3.1
✓ Mr.Great for my workout but no sound!.Version: 3.1
✓ Decent potential but unreliableI purchased this app specifically for circuit training. The timer was set to 35 seconds. Iteration one timer did not sound. Several times during the next 30 iterations the timer would randomly change the time. One second it would be at maybe 9 seconds, then it would change to 23 seconds. I will be looking for a different timer ASAP..Version: 3.1
✓ RubbishI rated this rubbish then all of a sudden they call me fraud exposed OUT OF LINE.Version: 3.2
✓ So far, no sound alertsJust bought this app and, right now, I can't get any sound, flash or vibration notices to work. Don't know if it's a bug, but I've written to the maker to inquire about what the issue might be. Until then, YMMV. UPDATE: Problem solved. It was my own fault. My hardware button for sound was turned off and I didn't realize it. In fact, the app seems to work as advertised. So far, it's worth your dollar..Version: 0
✓ No sound on iPadLike the other reviewer said, the are no sounds on the iPad. Yes, volume is up and mute is off. App can be set to flash at end of countdown, but will no longer maintain full screen timer. Significant if using repeating countdown. Other than that, app is great. Unlike other timers, this app can handle less than a minute (5 sec minimum) and can do automatic repeating timers..Version: 3.1
✓ No sound on ipod touchI tried different notification sounds. No sound either in headphones or internal speaker (I would prefer the beep like the builtin timer has). I just want a timer that loops, and beeps when the interval hits. I've tried several now (some not free like this one) and I can't find a simple solution to this problem..Version: 0
✓ Full of bugs. Avoid.I bought this to act as a repeating timer, but this functionality is extremely buggy. The timer often goes off at the wrong time, or doesn't go off at all..Version: 3.0
✓ Great AppVery good app, using it for workouts so would be useful if for example I could have the sound go off after 1 minute workout and then again after 30 second rest then back to 1 minute workout and so on. Other than that it's easy to use and very handy.Version: 0
✓ Simple to use, does exactly what I wantAll I was looking for was a simple timer that would softly notify me when a predetermined time period had elapsed. This app allows me to set a continuous period with no sound as an option and a soft gong option as an alarm at the end. The soft gong on this app is very pleasant and the only pleasant sounding alarm I've been able to find on ANY app - even the ones specifically for meditation. I give it 4 stars instead of 5 because all the other sound options are somewhat abrasive and annoying..Version: 0
