Why no colors?

I really like the concept and visually it is simple and not distracting for my daughter. I was quite disappointed when I saw that you can’t change the colors. My daughter is very specific about what colors she likes. With all the free ones out there I didn’t expect that with a paid app. I will still use it though

Oh my god they’re back.

Hello dev. Thanks for updating this incredible app—glad you’re still around after all of these years!

The ONLY thing I miss from the original version is that the phone status bar (time, reception, etc) would be hidden when in an active session. I’d love that option again as sometimes I don’t want to see the current time. Thanks. 😄

My favorite

Out of the dozens of timers I’ve downloaded!

Too fiddly.

I found this app a nusiance to operate by the time I’d figured out how to use it the need for a timer had passed. I wanted something simple and instant, uninstalled.

Ironically, it’s too busy

This would be great if they didn’t try so hard to be “cool”. The little spinners around each individual second makes the interface to frenetic. I would love a good subtle timer that acts essentially as a digital hourglass. Just a bunch of dots that fade out as the time runs out. All the flashy little spinners for every second is too distracting, when the whole purpose is to not distract

Good for studying

I use this app to do timed studying (such as 35 mins studying, 10 mins testing myself and 5 checking my answers) and having the visual countdown is very helpful, especially when I’m studying somewhere with my phone on silent. I can set up a ‘staggered’ timer like this so I have no need to use my phone once an interval has passed, as it will continue automatically to the next. I also imagine this timer would be useful for the pomodoro method.
