  • Great design and easy on the eyes

    I use this app constantly, after trying a bunch.

    For icing (I'm recovering from surgery)
    For exercise - timing planks or bridges, etc.
    For cooking, too.

    Why is it SO much better than the native iOS timer?
    1. Provides smaller increments(<1min)
    2. Three customizable pre-sets for frequent use
    3. Alert sound is 3 chimes and it does not require a touch to subdue it (unlike iOS). Perhaps a stove timer should keep buzzing, to keep you from burning your food. But for many other applications, you want your music or TV show to resume after you've had a chance to hear the chimes.
    4. Doesn't have infinite number of increments. It has 1, 2, 3 minutes, but eventually skips to 20, 25, 30 min. This makes it easier to find a desired duration

    It's also visually clean, instead of being like an airplane cockpit.

  • Almost great

    For the love of usability, please let us have as many circles on the screen as we want, set to whatever interval we want (ideally inputed with a keypad instead of a list).
  • Great for meditation

    Perfect as a meditation timer - gently beeps four times and does not require hitting any buttons to make it stop, like the stock timer app does.
  • Love it! No ads, no clutter, straightforward!

    I love this app! A big thank you to the developer. The app is straightforward, easy to read, easy to use. Screens are simple. Perhaps best of all, there are no ads or nags to buy anything.
  • Great Little Timer!

    What's not to like about this timer? It is programmable up to 30 minutes, and I really like being able to set 3 different frequently-used time increments. I would have given this app 5 stars, but the volume is low, so you can't place it across the room and expect to hear it when it beeps. :(
  • Nice App...

    ...but it could use a few more options, including (but not limited to) alternate lengths of time, different end time sounds, and color changes. It is simple to use, though.
  • I like this app

    Simple enough for day to day tasks.

    Wish list:
    Option to add more than 3 buttons
    Option to add custom alarm or longer alarm
  • Good app but needs work

    The app doesn't work properly. The alarm gets stuck. Screen lock option doesn't work.
  • Perfect

    For those of you who enjoy quartz... Download this app
  • Great for cooking

    It's nice to be able to time things with no fuss. Clean interface. Non-obnoxious beep.
