Time Timer for Negative User Reviews
✓ Doesn’t play sound when lockedThe app only plays the sound if the screen is not locked. Also, the numeric display of the count of plays on the settings screen disappears after pressing the + button. Would give five stars if if played sound or had option to when locked..Version: 3.3.7
✓ No addI can’t create a timer!.Version: 3.3.7
✓ Screen turns offDon’t understand when a timer is running on it screen still switches off.Version: 3.3.7
✓ Great tool but should not be counter clockwiseTime Timers are great for keeping kids on task and on schedule. We have had the physical ones for years and the app is a handy extension of that. My only issue with time timers is that they have the minutes counter clockwise. This has caused real difficulties when trying to teach my kids how an analogue clock works as they have become so accustomed to seeing the numbers in the order of the time timer..Version: 3.3.7
✓ Doesn’t work at all... just a white screen and nothing elseDoesn’t work at all... just a white screen that says “No Timers” and nothing else. Can’t get past that screen. Waste of money!.Version: 3.3.5
✓ Help please app not workingHi, the app is showing a blank screen with the words No Timers. Nothing else. Please refund me or fix it now..Version: 3.3.6
✓ Not workingI only get a page with no timers written on it No other buttons or inputs.Version: 3.3.7
✓ Will change to 5 stars (times a million) if you bring back the quick timer!We’ve had the original Time Timer at home for 7 years, and it’s been life changing. It has helped teach both my kids the concept of time passing (“when the red is gone” is a common phrase amongst our family) and the mobile app has kept us from many a melt down at the park(or at least softened the blow.) But the last update has erased the quick set timer option!! I set it exactly to the minute in the am and pm for how long the kids can play before school starts and how long my daughter can play before we meet brother when school is out. PLEASE, please fix this! I can’t remember the exact name of the feature but I’m lost without it!.Version: 3.3.1
✓ Do not waste moneyThere are free apps like this, do not buy! I bought thinking it would be easier for my son with ASD to accomplish tasks. Hoping it would restart after ringing, but it didn’t. Not enough ringtones. The chrono fonction that comes with the Iphone works better. I was really disappointed. :/.Version: 3.3.2
✓ Stops whatever you’re listening toIt’s a timer, with a visual component, and a tiny bit of extra functionality. It stops whatever I’m listening to, and since I always have something going (audio books, music, white noise, etc) that’s quite annoying. For me, it’s less useful than just a timer in the clock function. I can see how the visual might help some people though..Version: 3.3.7
✓ No timer or settings appearWhen I opened the app, there was no settings or menu icon to set a timer. It simply noted, “No timer”. So, nothing. Others seem to be reporting the same issue..Version: 3.3.7
✓ Works well, Watch app a missed opportunityThe timer does as it says, and ably recreates the physical Time Timers in a digital space. However, the watch app complications do not show the progress at all! This means you have to have the app up and open to use it - and eventually it does close itself (or you have to have the setting for ALL apps to stay awake)..Version: 3.3.7
✓ UnreliableThe sound alerts on this app are unreliable. Sometimes the app makes no sound. Sometimes it stops after 4 beeps despite having the continuous alert function activated. And no, the silent mode on my phone is not turned on. An unreliable timer is worse than no timer. Deleting this app..Version: 4.0.6
✓ Pretty good butI need the timer flipped the other way. This doesn’t make sense to me. Time counting forwards goes from right to left. But a timer is counting backwards meaning visually it should go from left to right.Version: 3.3.7
✓ Does not display CIRCLEDoes not display CIRCLE for the time chosen - it is always part of an hour - no visual clues to time.Version: 3.3.6
✓ How does this work?How does this work. It’s a black screen. No place to input a time.Version: 3.3.7
✓ Fonctionne pas 🤬Il installe pis indique pas de timer ???.Version: 3.3.7
✓ White screens hurt my eyes.There is no dark mode. Too too bright..Version: 3.3.7
✓ TerribleWaste of TIME.Version: 3.3.7
✓ Retina display?Come on guys! Just update the graphics for the retina display... You ask for money... Work on the updates!.Version: 1.4
✓ Try starting and stopping the timerIt’s way over priced for an app. Everything looks great until you try to start or pause a timer. It takes 2-3 attempts to get the button to work. All the developers have to do is give it more room after which I am happy to look into this. For now, the $4+ for me has gone down the drain..Version: 3.3.6
✓ Complication needs updateI paid for this app because of the complication, meaning I can start or stop it from the Watch face. Unfortunately, the developer hasn’t updated the complication to work with the new Infograph Watch face, so I’m stuck using only old Watch faces. I’ve waited for a month, thinking it would be fixed. Complications for all my other 3rd party apps now work with the latest Watch faces, but not this one. I’ll update my review when this is fixed..Version: 3.3.5
✓ Percentage countdown option?I actually gave it 4 star but 1 star to get the developer attention on a suggestion: Would love to see a percentage % left countdown OPTION to turn on and off according to personal preference. eg 63% left, 52% time left, 13% time left! etc. Like a video game pressure to perform quick “only 34% of life/health left!” Hurry up and finish the task!!!.Version: 3.3.7
✓ Does what it says- some design issuesThis app overall is good: it lets you set alarms for tasks and visualizes time counting down. There are some UX flaws. The Time Timer logo us front and center in bold dynamic type at all times, while the important information, the name of your timer, is in small and innocuous font. Your eye is forced to go to Time Timer before going to the name you need each and every time. So an alarm for adhd and focus already has a distraction built in. The skeuomorphic buttons for shutting off your alarm and vibration functions are reversed: pressing them “on” turns them off, while the shadow on them indicates the typically “off” position for real buttons. The numbers along the dial are thick, chunky, poorly spaced and again, weirdly distracting for an app about focusing. The only well designed type in this thing is the logo. Lastly the alarm is ear-piercing: I get that it is to be a no excuses reminder, but i dread it going off. You're essentially being acoustically punished for staying on task..Version: 3.3.6
✓ Apple Watch functionalityI have a big problem with managing time with clients during hands on and exercises treatment. After several apps failed to perform the way I had hoped I decided to try time timer. Using it on the phone was perfect- I could label the timers to know when sessions with clients were half over and when to begin to wrap up. Exactly what I needed! However, when I loaded the app to my Apple Watch those labels vanished; so now I have to do math in my head about how much time is left, which is not working. Is there any way labels could be added to the timers in Apple Watch?! Please!!.Version: 3.3.7
✓ Overcomplicated and unfriendlyThis app replaces the simplicity and ease of the physical TimeTime with extra features that wind up complicating the whole experience. I can't simply drag the dial to set, which was the whole beauty of the model. I don't like using it, but it's all we've got for a digital TimeTimer..Version: 3.3.5
✓ UglyIt’s just so ugly. Particularly the watch app. Really puts you off using it..Version: 3.3.7
✓ Doesn’t workDownloaded but when it opens it has zero functionality and can’t do anything.Version: 3.3.7
✓ Doesn’t work on my iPadDoesn’t work on my iPad.Version: 3.3.7
✓ Inconsistent uiBroken dark mode, screens look weird. Developer, please test ur app in dark mode to see inconsistencies and issues.Version: 3.3.7
✓ UselessOnly says “no timer”. Nothing else happens.Version: 3.3.7
✓ Doesn't workJust a blank screen. There are no buttons or anything to do. Just a blank screen. I guess it hasn't been updated in a while and it broke at some point..Version: 3.3.7
✓ Nice Title ScreenAnd nothing more. Just says there are no times, then asks for a rating. Nothing intuitive about setting or using it. Just “no timers,” which was true: it isn’t..Version: 3.3.7
✓ Time turns dark after a few minutesThe Time timer for iPad turns dark after a few minutes. Unable to see anything and unable to set it to stay awake. I was trying to use it while swimming so I would have to stop swimming, go out of the pool . Start the iPad, etc. it’s much easier to use Sir and say “Siri set a timer for twenty minutes” and just wait for the iPad built in countdown timer to send out a loud alarm when the IOS timer is up..Version: 3.3.7
✓ Timer didn’t make a soundI was late.Version: 3.3.7
✓ Good concept, lacks functionalityI can see where this app can be helpful. Unfortunately I’m unable to get this app to notify me without beeping, need it to vibrate only but even if I select vibrate and turn off the alarm portion. Either it’s just the alarm that goes off or nothing at all. Would definitely give this app another try if that was addressed.Version: 3.3.7
✓ Tones are not okI love the idea of this, but the tones are just too full-on and triggering for me. I don’t understand why they must all be so offensively jarring..Version: 3.3.7
✓ Great almost the best visual timerOne should be able to change the scale. ie a 3 minute timers scale should be 5 minutes rather than 60 min. Easier to note when finished. Also the ‘times up’ notification should have a more distinct background than a different shade of white..Version: 3.3.7
✓ No timer cannot startMoney lost.Version: 3.3.6
✓ WhyyyI cannot add any timer 😡.Version: 3.3.7
✓ SuperSupport Apple Watch please!!.Version: 3.1.3
✓ Completely non-functionalGot this for the iPad. Literally just says “no timers” and that’s it. No option to make any timers or anything, it’s completely broken. The app is basically just a 9mb picture....Version: 3.3.7
✓ Good!Louder and longer alarm would be useful.Version: 3.3.6
✓ Want to love itI really love the concept and design of this app, but I’ve started to realize that it’s not accurate. I’ve been using the app for a couple of months and thought something was up. However, the work I’d been doing was causing me to hyper focus, so I figured that it was just me losing track of time. After being pretty sure that it was off by 20 minutes on Wednesday night, I decided to keep better track. Over six runs on Thursday (set to 60 minutes), sometimes it was accurate, and sometimes is was off by 10-20 minutes. I think it may have been partially to do with mirroring to an Apple TV. I love the multiple visual timers and the fact that when my phone is on silent, I get a simple notification. But I feel it’s time to retire this app if the timing aspect can’t be trusted..Version: 3.3.7
✓ Numbers backwards???Why are the numbers the opposite of a clock??? This app seemed simple, nice looking and perfect. I like that you can preset multiple timers like piano or reading. BUT it reads and counts down backwards from what you would expect of a timer. My kids are learning time, so confusing them won’t do. Also, I was hoping for the function of the entire time being a pie that slid down, or a large count down…a more visual representation of how much time is left for my little kids. Like a 2 minute timer on this clock is such a small wedge they can’t look and tell it’s half gone. Good, but not for little kids..Version: 3.3.7
✓ Time Timer Works Well for Many PlacesIt is beneficial for schools, businesses and home, but there is one problem: when the timer ends with the screen off, the notification displays on the lock screen without vibrating by itself. Audible alarm sounds are not a good option at the library – just vibrations set to on..Version: 3.3.6
✓ App doesn’t workDoesn’t load.Version: 3.3.7
✓ Phone app is great, watch app not so muchI’m mostly interested in using the Watch app, but it works inconsistently. I’d like to set it up to chime every 15 minutes during the daytime, but sometimes it chimes at the specified time and sometimes it just doesn’t. Can’t figure out any rhyme or reason to making it work properly.Version: 3.3.7
✓ Does what you’d expect it to doGiving it one star because it is highly annoying that in 5-10 minutes of using the app it has asked to to rate it twice!.Version: 3.3.5
✓ One issueSeems good so far except that the timer alert on Apple Watch doesn’t continue until dismissed (even though this setting is enabled in the iPhone app). One of the main reasons I downloaded... If that’s fixed then it’s a 5 star app..Version: 3.3.1
✓ Not RecommendedWhen timer is on, screen should not get locked to visuliase time left. However, this app does not have this function and my phone keeps getting locked. What is the point of having this visualised timer rather than normal alarm clock?.Version: 3.3.6
✓ Timer is ok but issues with appSo far the timer app has been good although when editing the timer there is a section that says play 1 time and if I click + or - it will just say ‘plays’ but not say how many times. Also when looking at the list view of all of the timers, if I delete one from that page it will crash and close the app. Please consider doing some more testing of the app so these parts work!.Version: 3.3.7
✓ Great app.....butA great app that does what it needs to do but I'm not sure it is worth the price tag. For the price you would expect it to go that bit further. To return to the home page after selecting your chosen visual clock option and being able to notify you when the time has ended if you come out of the app. I've had to remove the digital displayed time element because it shows the wrong time. Shame because otherwise it is great..Version: 1.4
✓ Wahaay. At last an update!Really useful, simple and great looking app. But why not let us start and pause the timers by tapping the huge, colourful circle rather than having to fumble for the tiny pause / play button at the bottom? Eg tap once to pause / play tap twice to reset to the beginning. Then it would be more or less perfect. Update: Downgraded a star. There is a bug in this update. You can no longer alter a touch to set countdown timer until it has finished. If it pauses a model paused message appears right over the clock preventing any interaction. iPad version still works ok as they haven’t updated that yet!!.Version: 3.3.1
✓ A part time timerI don’t usually leave reviews but I’ve been struggling with ADHD and completing simple things at work. I’ve been watching videos, and many people have suggested using a visual timer. I was really excited to see there was an app that looked similar to the physical timer. I have this set up on my desk using my iPad. This works most of the time but frustrates me more than it should. The Good: - I love that there is a visual timer and it’s fairly easy to set The Bad: - When the timer is minimized or I switch apps, the sound, nor the vibrations go off - this app does not support split screen on the iPad - When I have my iPad set up (horizontally) on my desk, I cannot select a new timer in full screen. I have to get out of full screen and then select a timer. - A lot of times, when positioned horizontally, it will not allow the timer to go into full screen Overall, it is not bad, but it could definitely use some work.Version: 3.3.7
✓ Why no sound?It is one of the most important things for me with Pomodoro timers. I NEED to hear time ticking to get pressured to work and no to get distracted additionally by looking every few minutes how much more I have to finish the task or until the time expires. No idea why is this so hard to add as an feature. Other than what I underlined and what is a deal breaker for me, app looks good and is simple to use..Version: 4.0.8
✓ Waste of timeDoes not work.Version: 3.3.7
✓ Could be better, but useful!I’ve been looking for an app like this to serve as a timer for my toddler when we’re not home. At home we have a visual timer and it has color coded animals on the sides to even help him more since he can’t tell all the numbers yet. I wish this timer app was able to flip to match the timer we have at home. This one has 55 on the right where as the other has 5 on the right. An really if there were animals on the side or some different colored dots ! Would do amazing for toddlers..Version: 3.3.7
✓ Good. Could be great.I have ADD (real ADD, not "It's an excuse 'ADD'") and Time Timer is a very helpful support. ADHD people have difficult with time. They see themselves as having time or having no-time. Nothing much inbetween. Also, can be highly visually oriented and a numbered clock doesn't help because numbers are either easily forgetten or non-instructive for how much time is left. This is why Time Timer can be so useful. But, the interface workflow needs to be improved: It is presently choppy, and oft confusing and inefficient. Also, more colours, alarm tones and tone options are desperately needed. Full landscape mode, widget, and 3D Touch also needed. However, very nice icon, fonts, and layout..Version: 3.1.3
✓ Aarrgghh! Latest update!I’ve come to rely on this app for a number of things, but especially doing laundry in my apartment building. (I was so dependent on it, despite wishing I could see time left on the lock screen, I even bought one of their hardware clocks for guest speakers in a group I belong to.) I could have “4th Flr Washer,” “8th Flr Dryer” etc saved as clocks, each running concurrently. When I opened the app after the last update, all my saved clocks had been renamed with generic names. Okay, annoying, but easy to rename back. But I couldn’t get one clock off “paused” so I closed the app and reopened. ALL my pre-set clocks were gone (not even just generically renamed) except for the one running when I’d closed the app! Will keep trying to figure out how to work around these bugs for awhile, this is a plea to the developers to restore the quick set option (go one better and make it possible on *any* clock; that’s most satisfying UX of any such utility app!) and restore the stability and former simplicity of using the app with multiple clocks stored. (I highly recommend their hardware products, however. That’s sincere, not a bribe to get the app fixed!).Version: 3.3.2
✓ Time TimerGreat app Esp. for presentations - I would like to have it on my iPad but unfortunately you have to buy it again to get the iPad version Maybe it would pay to review the marketing strategy as there are competitor apps which are also very good and they don't make you pay twice ! ??.Version: 2.1.15
✓ SimpleMake it simple.Version: 3.3.7
