Timer for Positive User Reviews
✓ TimerSlowly getting to grips with it and its variations, but it certainly does what I want, which is to loop its alarms; the fact it does this in many different ways is icing on the cake and what I am having fun playing around with at the moment..Version: 5.2
✓ Best timer!The timer within clock on the iphone is ok but it doesn't allow timings of less than 1 minute. This timer is perfect for games such as Articulate and Pictionary. It's settings are also superior to that of the default timer..Version: 0
✓ Exactly what I wanted!I needed a straight forward timer that had the ability to be silent and alert me via flashing. Also a timer that don't fad out and lock the phone while counting down. Awesome counter!!!.Version: 3.2
✓ Great!Why the built-in timer doesn't allow you to set seconds is beyond me! This timer is perfect!.Version: 0
✓ Wonderful countdown timer!I used it some 140 times today -- it worked extremely well in all respects! Well done! James from Canada.Version: 3.0
✓ Best I have foundGreat timer..Version: 6.0.1
✓ Timer reviewGreat for keeping track of my workouts. A little buggy when it comes to setting volume levels, but a minor inconvenience..Version: 3.2
✓ Great and simpleA great timer. Simple and easy to use. I like the fact that the timing display goes full screen when started which makes it easy to see at a short distance if you have your hands full. I wish it had multiple timers that you could save for different activities without having to rest the timer for each different event..Version: 3.2
✓ Great for Pecha Kucha PresentationsI bought this app because I had to deliver a Pecha Kucha presentation to an audience about my iPhone app "Video Edit". A Pecha Kucha presentation automatically advances your slide every 20 seconds without your control and so the pressure to stay on time is intense. Timer worked great for providing me with a looping 20 second countdown to let me know how much time I had left before my slide would automatically change. Without it, I would definitely have gone over my time limit. Looking forward to trying out some of the more advanced features of the app too. Highly recommend it!.Version: 2.3
✓ Versatile!Useful for many applications..Version: 4.0
✓ When you need more than a simple timer app……this is probably it. And it’s been around for more than decade. Still use it daily..Version: 6.2
✓ Great use of 3 simultaneous timers for coffee roastingA bit of learning to set up but worth the time investment.Version: 5.3
✓ AceGreat timer. Keep up the good work.Version: 3.2
✓ Exactly what I needed in the gym!This app was exactly what I was looking for to work with my interval & callisthenics training at the gym.. Simple to use and easy to customize to get it exactly how you want it. Awesome app!.Version: 0
✓ Love the looping timer functionalityThis is definitely my go-to timer..Version: 6.0.1
✓ Most impressedI was after a timer that would sound every 30mins to remind me of something, and this works perfectly! I was shocked at the lack of apps available for this seemingly simple task on the app store. I love the versatility of this app for changing time intervals, option for repeating and numerous sound alerts, as well as operating in the background. The only other function I would like to see is an option for prolonged vibration, as I would like to have the app running in my pocket and alert me without disturbing anyone else... The single vibration is too easily missed and I don't always want the audible alarm going off... add this and it's a 5 star app for me! A well deserved 4 stars at present though 😃.Version: 5.0
✓ Only 99 Cents?!This is a great application if you need to have a countdown timer within seconds. It does waht it says it does, and you can choose a lot of sounds when its done! Please don't write reveiws for apps you haven't downloaded..Version: 0
✓ Great! Hoping for ios4 backgrounding updateThe built in timer sounds through my iPod touch's speakers even if I have headphones plugged in. I needed a timer that would sound through my headphones instead; this one does that. I also like the fact that it keeps counting after the timer goes off, until you click ok, so that you can see how long ago time was up. A simple app that does what it does well. If you leave the app, it will continue running in the background, and show the proper time when you come back to it. However, it hasn't been updated for ios4 yet, so if the time is up before you switch back to the app, you won't hear the alarm until you open the app again. I'll add a fifth star if they update it so that you can hear the alarm while it's backgrounded in ios4..Version: 0
✓ Good updateLatest update adds some great features. As well as other uses, I use 'Timer' when I'm public speaking, so counting down to a specific time for the end of the session is really useful, including '5 minutes left' type of notifications. Thank you, developer!.Version: 3.0
✓ Great AppWorks a treat and I use it for doing intervals when I'm running..Version: 3.2
✓ TimerL'ajout des secondes et la capacité de boucler en font un remplacement nécessaire au minuteur le base de l'iPod Touch. Cependant, depuis l'installation de Timer, il arrive que le contrôle du volume soit bloqué sur l'iPod et que je doive "rebooter" pour y remédier. J'aurais aussi aimé une documentation sommaire sur les nombreuses options de cette application..Version: 3.2
✓ Perfect timer appAs a board meeting secretary, this app is great for me: simple, has plenty of options such as: not making any sounds when the timer ends, displaying the remaining time in big numbers in landscape, and !!especially!! an T- upcounter in red! Great app..Version: 3.0
✓ Great job!! Few suggestions..This is a great example of how the app rating system can ruin someones hard work. No app can run in the background. None. This developer did the absolute best he could with the restriction of the sdk. It works while phone is locked AND the timer keeps track even when the app is quit. One person complained that they wish they knew about the built in clock before they bough this. So... Whose fault is that? Another said they were giving 4 stars Instead of 5 for whatever reason but clicked 2 stars by mistake. Cmon. This app is great and dies EXACTLY what it says. Few requests: 1) I use this for getting my kids out the door. I'd love a settable warning option ie choose the time and sound. Like "at X minutes play X sound." 2) Its possible to miss the alarm sound if you're not near the clock. Maybe it could go until turned off manually?? Great job. People please be careful with your reviews. Remember that others' livlihoods are often in the balance..Version: 0
✓ Perfect timer!Far better than any other timers for the iPhone - seems to be the only one that works! And for those saying the iPhone already has a timer, yes it does but it's far clumsier than this lovely bit of kit. Thanks!.Version: 0
✓ Almost Perfect...I've been a happy user of this timer app ever since Alton Brown used it on an episode of /Good Eats/. I've owned an iPad for about three days now, and I've spent a tidy few dollars repurchasing many applications so they would look nice on my new techno-fetish object. I was delighted to find out that this one, one of the least expensive ($0.99!), didn't require repurchase because it was already universal! Awesome! So--why only four stars? Well, the iPad version doesn't do the one thing that I most wanted from the iPhone version: in a timer app, I want a landscape-mode screen that is, simply, VERY LARGE NUMBERS THAT COUNT DOWN. And Timer (iPad) doesn't do this. You have the old iPhone-sized numbers in the left third of the screen, and all the options on the right two-thirds of the page. That was disappointing; I hope this is fixed in a subsequent release..Version: 3.0
✓ Love it!Great for workouts, doesn't interfere with iPod listening :).Version: 3.2
✓ Great TimerI enjoy how everything is visible on one screen. All the options, the countdown, and the settings. Also the countdown is unique in how one scrolls down to find the wanted time. And when it is completed, it will start counting up in overtime. Well done, certainly worth it. has everything I need and nowhere as expensive as those others on the app store that only come with fancy appearances. Certainly worth using when cooking and scheduling on a tight time allowance..Version: 4.0
✓ ExcellentPerfect app if you want to create custom timers of any level of complexity. Love the versatility. Takes longer than the average app to figure out, but it's worth it. Check it out!.Version: 5.0
✓ Nicely done with one caveatThis timer is very useful and more functional than the built in timer, for sure. The only problem is that when you use the flashing screen for the timer notification (which doesn't need to be as big as it is) you don't have the negative timer counting down from zero after you have reached zero. This definitely needs to be fixed because this negative readout is a nice feature. I was kind in not reducing it one more star for the goofy splash screen that is not needed. This is a professionally done piece of software other than the splash screen making it feel like a toy. Eliminate the splash screen please..Version: 0
✓ Very good app, avoid the update to 2.0Timer is one of my main apps, I use it on a daily basis and have been able to configure it exactly the way I want it to work. The update to 2.0 has some issues and I ended up going back to 1.x. First off, I really don't like updates where the user settings get whacked, and unfortunately this will happen when updating to 2.0. Also, the "avoid screen dim" and "avoid screen lock" functions no longer work, and these are fairly critcal to my use of.Version: 0
✓ Good TimerHave used timer for several years now. Program has evolved over time, and now is quite versatile. You can customize every aspect of the timers, saving multiple configurations for specific situations. But it can be simple as well if you don't want all those complications. I really don't use anything else as a timer..Version: 5.0
✓ No sound 2Please retract the review 'No Sound'. It does make a sound..Version: 0
✓ Updated review 1/9/10: great appWith the most recent update, it shows this developer listens to customers and is constantly improving. Programming your own events is such a great feature and separates this app from the pack. I agree with the other reviewer that for the next update, would be great to be able to have different configurations that can be saved. I also haven't tested the dim setting so I don't know if that's a bug for me as well. So for now, 5 stars well deserved for this app..Version: 0
✓ Does what I need it to do...The app is worth the .99 charged. It does what I was looking for. I wasn't looking for multiple timers or annual event countdowns...so, it filled the bill. One problem I did notice is that, as I was listening to an audiobook, then activated the timer, upon timer completion and when it played its completion alarm, it attenuated the audiobook (which is fine); however, once completed with the alarm, the attenuation of the audiobook (and I imagine music too) was not released. I tried closing the music player, changing volume, closing the timer, and many other things with no success. Finally I rebooted the iPod touch and started up the music player to listen to my audiobook. That worked, and I was no longer in the attenuated audo mode caused by the timer alarm. It is a small bug, but needs fixing..Version: 2.3
✓ Excellent AppI don't normally do reviews, but I had to make an exception in this instance. Timer is easily the most useful and versatile app I've ever purchased. It takes some time to figure out, but once you get the hang of it, you are really able to set timers that notify you in basically whatever order or manner you like. I am using it to study for the Bar Exam!.Version: 5.2
✓ GreatWorks, interface good.Version: 6.0.1
✓ Great app!I love that I can set audio beeps at each minute. I do long hold yoga and this helps me know my progress without needing to look at the app. It’s also great for HIIT workouts to let me know when to switch exercises without needing to watch the timer!.Version: 6.2
✓ Highly recommended!I love this app! I use it while doing Chinese standing Qi Gong exercises. I can set this timer in a loop to ring every 10 minutes and Apple's clock's timer runs at the same time to let me know when my 30 minutes are up. There are many options and sounds to select between for a wide variety of purposes, it is very user friendly, and the timer is dependable to work as I expect it to. I highly recommend this app..Version: 5.2
✓ Unique, expensive, and detailedThis is one of the only apps that has a good stopwatch and timer. After the ios 6 update, I was upset because it came with a free timer, stopwatch, alarm, and world clock while I already payed a dollar for this app. However, the capabilities of this app far surpass the capabilities of apple's clock..Version: 5.0
✓ Awesome background timerIt's an awesome timer because it's the only one I've found that runs safely with Backgrouder even when iPhone is locked :) It would be perfect if it'd automatically disable sound while taking a call, and if I could also choose my own custom sound and have multiple timers running concurrently..Version: 0
✓ VibrateTried several. Like this one. Would love if there were more vibrate options - triple etc. Vibrate is noticeable for phone calls but not for this yet..Version: 3.1
✓ Simple to use, excellent - just what I needGreat, simple timer. I use it to remind me to eat every two hours as I am on a diet and need to eat six small meals per day. Also useful for timing my boiled eggs. Worth the money,.Version: 0
✓ Fantastic!!!I love everything on it and since I'm greedy I would like to ask for the ability to display a message (even in locked screen) in the loop mode as a reminder of a mantra during the day. I have an app for that but this is sooo much better. Looooove the sounds also the easiness of setting. Thank you, thank you, thank you!.Version: 5.2
✓ Great timerDoes what is supposed to do as well as expected!.Version: 3.1
✓ Just What I WantedA simple timer app that has a large display when in countdown mode, and with a display that stays lit during countdown. Very good!.Version: 5.0
✓ Love itUsing it to teach myself to pay attention to 1min 30 sec increments while studying for a standardized test. The timer sounds only once and moves onto the next rep. So I can focus on what I'm doing across the room, not re-starting the alarm. Down side: wish it did more than 30 reps..Version: 3.1
✓ Useful though complicatedUsing for scheduling/timing activities for a classroom. Would like to backup info (took long time to set up) and share presets with others who have app. Would be nice if name of timed segment would stay visible if you exit and then return to app. Also, editing from presets would be helpful, rather than having to load, edit, resave and delete prior version..Version: 3.1
✓ Best Timer Out There!This is exactally the type of timer I've been searching for since the app store came online. So far this is the only timer that will let you pause and then resume a countdown! Very important to me and what made me buy it. It also has a lot of other nice bells and whistles. More than worth the money..Version: 0
✓ Wonderful application (v3.1)Love the new Preset feature that lets you easily save and switch between different timing programs. One request to the developer: it would be nice to have the ability to define events as time intervals and then have the ability to rearrange their order as needed. Currently all events are defined relative to the same absolute start time and when you have a lot of events, it becomes difficult to keep track. Thank you for the great work!.Version: 3.1
✓ Great for Spartacus workoutWith the cycle workout requiring 1:00 of fast exercise, :15 of rest then go again, I didn't want an app I had to keep looking at or hitting buttons. This is perfect as I have programmed three different sounds at three different times through that cycle - which means I never have to look at the phone. Great work!!.Version: 0
✓ Great App!I had previously written a review indicating there were features needed (vibrate alert) yet I must take that back. This app is perfect - I had mistakingly not turned the vibrate on in my general settings. Great work on this app - it's EXACTLY what I needed!.Version: 0
✓ Perfect for keeping presenters on trackI wanted a timer to be clearly visible to conference presenters. This has a full screen display unlike most of the other iPad timer apps. It's easy to see and includes a lot of options for letting them know when their time is running short and when to stop. If this had been written for me I doubt I'd have changed a thing. Nice job..Version: 3.1
✓ Great app but you need to have Settings rightThis is a beautiful app with many options. Many of us will just want to use it as a kitchen timer so that an alarm goes off at the end of a given time. This is very easy to do, but you need to setup the app correctly. The main thing is to have the app in the Notification center. This is done by going to the iPad Settings menu, selecting Notifications. If the Timer app is not in the Notification Center, then select Timer and turn on the Notification Center. Set Sounds to ON. This should have the desired effect. The alarm will now go on even if Timer is in the background (that is, you are in another app, like browsing the web). You may want to change the alarm from the default "Cooking timer" (try "High Danger"). This is done in the Settings menu for the Timer app. You do need the iPad sound to be on. I often turn off the sound on the iPad and then there will not be a sound. You will get a message at the screen, but this may not be the desired effect..Version: 3.2
✓ Wonderful timerAble to create a timer for a complicated meditation such as Ammachi's IAM (Integrated Amma Meditation). Exactly what I wanted. I could not find any other timer with this flexibilty. I give it only 4 stars because the interface and thus its use could be simpler. And I wish the volume of some of the alarm tones could be made louder..Version: 3.1
✓ Nice workI've been surprised at how few useable countdown timers there are in the app store. This one has the features I need for yoga and meditation. A countdown timer with repete functionality. I wonder wether there is a way for a future version to allow me to use my own sounds? Also a ready timer would be a welcome addition. This would countdown once and then the second timer would loop. Thanks..Version: 0
✓ Timer with detailed featuresThere is a learning curve to more complicated timer programming . However it is so much more than a standard kitchen timer it does a varierty of specific timers. I use mine for circuit training at two and three minute intervals I would like the icon to be a little more respectable and there should be more variety of loud sounds that can be heard over music Thanks for a great app.Version: 3.2
✓ Great app:-) Only needs 3 more things!I think this app is one of the best timer apps in the whole app store. I just think that it needs the OS 4 comparability, just like they said. It also needs the ability to run multiple timers at once, as well as have the ability to start a certain timer at a certain time. As soon as this app gets updated to do at least 2 of these 3 things, (I'd love if it could do all 3 :-) this app will be rated FIVE STARS. But anyways, I still love this app!!!!!!!!! :-) :-D.Version: 0
✓ Great appWorks well. Loads of features. Just wish the 'repeat end action' pop up could be turned off..Version: 4.0
✓ BurroMoo-ee burro.Version: 3.1
✓ ExcelentBeen using for years. Loops and works flawless..Version: 5.3
✓ Very handySurprisingly useful. Does a simple job very effectively..Version: 4.0
✓ Très bien!Très personnalisable, on peut lui faire afficher les messages-texte qu'on veut, au moment où on le veut, ce qui le rend très versatile, et non pas adapté principalement au domaine sportif, comme la grande majorité des applications de ce type! On apprécie de pouvoir faire apparaître des comptes et décomptes sous forme numérique ou graphique (bargraph ou pointes de tarte). Par contre, j'aurais aimé que plusieurs timers puissent être "empilables" les uns sur les autres, mais ce n'est malheureusement pas possible. Tous les messages qu'on veut faire apparaître doivent être définis au sein d'un même timer. Juste un peu laborieux à exploiter dans les détails, mais en vaut définitivement la peine!.Version: 4.0
✓ Perfect For Teachers!Finally! I looked forever for a timer app which would COUNT UP and then STOP with an alarm after the selected period of time had elapsed. Fantastic! Thank you for making this app! This is an extremely versatile timer. It counts up, counts down, lots of different alarms and stopping options, multiple timers, etc, with a big display. I primarily use it in my classroom when giving timed math facts tests, but the app can be used for any timed speed test. I start it and, using a document camera and a digital projector, zoom in on my iPhone and put the display up for the students to see. When they're done they simply write their time on the papers. Very easy and very cool! Super useful!.Version: 5.2
✓ DecentThis app mostly does what it should. Interface could be slightly better, for instance with an indication whether it's counting up or down. Right now if I hold up the timer to a speaker at a lecture he has to watch a few seconds to see whether it's counting up or down..Version: 3.1
✓ Works very nicelyI need a timer for the gym--I do a wide variety of exercises and also time my rest periods. I've tried about seven different free apps, and they all come up short (as does Apple's). This one is the answer to my search. It works great and the interface is very clean. And anyone hatin the tic-toc...just chill out and read the directions..Version: 0
✓ Perfect!Simple to use, nothing extra - exactly what I wanted! It will be used in many applications from cooking to games night!.Version: 0
✓ My likes on the Timer appI give this app a 5 out of 5 stars because I've been using it since me and my mom have started on a diet and exercising, we both use the timer to count how long we walk on the treadmill. I know this sounds like my personal business but I love expressing myself to new people. I love the app!!.Version: 3.2
✓ Good appThanks for a good app. Main use for exams as a count down clock,.Version: 3.2
✓ Very nice!Does everything i need! Nice one!.Version: 5.0
✓ Excellent AppI use this app for a rather elaborate stroke recovery process. The app has a multitude of options. It can be either simple or complicated to set up, depending on what your purpose is and how many of those options you want to use. I'd like to have the capability for the app to "randomly select from playlist" as one of the alarm possibilities. Overall, a very sophisticated, customizable app..Version: 5.0
✓ Perfect timer apIf you are looking for a single timer, easy to use and you can change the alarm to something not blaring, then this timer is for you. I have tried a number of timer aps, both free and paid... Up to the $2.99 ones and this timer is clearly the best for my purposes..Version: 0
✓ Excellent!!I've been looking for an app like this for a while..Version: 6.2
✓ Just what I wantedThis timer is simple and does just what I needed. I wanted it to replace a small digital timer I carried (and often lost) to time exercises. It works as I wanted with no oddities. The irritating tick, tick reported by others is off by default in this version..Version: 0
✓ ThanksMy work-outs are much more pleasant for me and others around since the timer alerts me once and then stops without me having to stop it manually!.Version: 3.2
