My favorite 3rd-party timer - now fixed for iPhone 11!

This is an elegant timer and a personal favorite of mine for some time. Thank you for addressing the past issues so that it now appears great again on the iPhone 11!

Great! But...

There is a bug with the Stopwatch part of the app. If you pause the stopwatch, it will bug the lap timer, and if you press the lap timer after, even if it's been 5 mins, it will start from when you started the timer again, (and be a lot less time then there actually was for that lap)

Aside from that, it's a great app.

Nice!

I bought this based on very beautiful graphics alone. Also, the price is cheap with no additional nickel and dime schemes like added this or that for additional fees or subscribe so your pocket book gets scammed every month and etc. Just elegant cyberpunk or modern sleek style that is pleasant to display on my screen. I don't really need another timer but now it will be my only timer. It would be nice to add the ability to color every window a separate color in a future update. Very nice simple inexpensive app that delivers a quality experience.

No sound

I used to love this app, but no matter what sound I choose, I get nothing. The phone is not muted, nothing is plugged into it, and I have specifically chosen a number of sounds, none of which work. Even when I choose a sound, there’s no preview, and there used to be. I try pushing the volume me up while choosing a sound, but it’s already at full volume. It doesn’t vibrate, either, although I have it set to. I don’t switch apps, but I have to keep looking at it to see if it’s done. All my other timers have sound.

Great app!

Everything you need from a “timer” application.

Don’t waste your money

Timer alarm doesn’t even ring

Pls enable music while countdown is running

Great app, would be even better if you could loop music while the countdown timer is running, with a buzzer at the end. Use case is for "minute to win it games", playing music while timer is running adds drama

Beautiful & Function - Nearly Perfect

It is a stylish app which delivers great features and functionality. I gave it 4 out of 5 as it lacks two features which are not difficult to add and, IMHO, should have been built into it. When you set the timer, you can chose from a range of alert sounds or silent (nothing). It does NOT, however, allow you to set any other ways of alerting you — there is no option for vibration with or without auditory alerts.

If I were to offer a few suggestions, I would suggest using the three key senses: auditory (sound), tactile (vibration), and visual (flashing).

Auditory — the app has a nice selection and is fine as is... though it could be improved by allowing user to access music and/or playlists.

Tactile (Vibration) — the app should, at least, offer the basic vibration option though adding variety of vibrating patterns would be extra nice.

Visual (Pulsing Light) — the app has such a nice visual appeal it would be easy enough to add pulsing of light alert which could be done in one of several ways — a small dot that flashes, the white ring-dial around all of the different counters, and/or having the colored 'digital' elements that make-up each of the timers flash.

It should be possible to turn each on and off so you can be alerted in just one way - just a flashing light or just a vibration or just a sound alert or a combination of two or even all three.

Doesn't sound the alarm

The only reason I paid for it and it doesn't sound the alarm when time is up.

Needs update

Cool timer, though sound currently does not work.
