Exactly what it needs to be

App is simple and perfect. Love the add to indicate if phone volume is low when you set a timer.

Would love an option to count up in red after timer to show time lapsed.

Annoying

Settings are very annoying, not simple at all. Drag to change time?? Takes forever to drag and have it count down. UI is very difficult to navigate. Was so annoyed after a couple minutes that I quickly uninstalled.

Dragging the buttons is not the only way to change a timer's duration, but it is a handy shortcut. Just as a tip, the farther you drag your finger away from the button, the faster the timer’s duration changes. For large adjustments of the timer, you'll find a more traditional time picker in settings by tapping the "i" in the lower right corner of the screen.

It worked great until I did the last upgrade

Now the audible alarm doesn’t work when the timers hit 0:00, so the app is pretty much useless to me.

I believe this issue has been resolved; I hoped to hear back from you to confirm. I'm leaving the original response below. I’m sorry you’re experiencing this issue and I want to make it right. This seems to be a rare bug, but it’s an extremely important one and something I would like to fix immediately. If you would be willing to send an email to countdown@christopherweems.com giving any information about what might be different in your situation (iPhone or iPad model, operating system version, whether you were connected to AirPlay or playing music, vibrate switch on or off, a screenshot of your settings page, and anything else you’ve noticed that may be the cause), this will be fixed in a matter of days.

Not as good

With the new update the end alarm does not always sound

Use it all the time.

Simple, does what it should do. No annoying features, nothing to distract you. I use it at the gym every day.

Can’t hear it when other apps are open

It doesn’t sound while having other apps open so if you’re listening to music you must keep this one up or you won’t hear it go off.

Hi, hope you're doing well. Countdown will sound while in the background, you just have to have the vibrate switch off! As I'm sure you've noticed, while the app is open, timers will sound out no matter how the vibrate switch is set. Thanks for using Countdown!

Great Easy Timer

Love how easy this is for those timer times you use all the time!!!
30 second for workouts
20 & 30 min ones for recipes!!!

Perfect for weight training

It has pretty flexible time options. Keeps the screen alive while you're exercising. And there is a simple beep when time is up. I love it.

Perfect for varying intervals

Many workouts benefit from sequencing various short intervals. This app is great because it is so straightforward and unfussy. It does countdowns perfectly; it doesn’t do anything else. Having limitations is a very big plus.
