Je l’utilise depuis des années et j’en suis satisfait. Juste ce qu’il faut dans un minuteur!

Fais exactement j’utilise le travail sans artifices. Simple à utiliser. Belle interface. Je l'utilise pour plusieurs activités.

Used to love this app

Was a small and probably free minimalist countdown timer and definitely a one trick pony. Unfortunately 11 or 12 years later and with many Apple updates the visual countdown still works but the audible alarm is not functional. Wish some well meaning person could update it and return to full functionality.

Great app

Always works, one of my best reliable apps

Pronto Deleto

No instructions; unable to set. Waste of time

The Best of its Class for its purpose/function.

Pronto is a simple and very well designed (countdown) timer application. It can serve as a cooking timer or as an alert for anything, e.g. time to get dressed and head out to an appointment; time to check the laundry machine; time to make a phone call, time for the TV show, etc.

There is a choice of about 15 alert tones. My go-to’s alerts are called: “Funky”, “Sax”, and “News” (a softer, more subdued tone). Funky is a middle-of-the-road tone and is my usual default setting. I use Sax for a more jarring tone — for more critical task reminders.

I love the fact that the app is default-set to “nag” you every minute that passes, until you shut it off. Most apps in this genre lack this feature - and this is really is important, if by chance you are in another room and miss the initial alert.
I still use this app *constantly* after 8 years!

Magic timer app!

The rotating dialer is magical. Interface is very neat that shows timer duration and end time also (No other timer app this killer feature).
Its been a while but Apple watch support is not yet available. Would love to rotate the dialer in my watch.

Good App

I love this app, but lately the alarm doesn’t ring.

Terrific: Simplicity at its best.

A timer needs to be simple and easy/quick to set. This one excels.

Rotating a single pointer around the center is far easier and quicker than using the multiple wheels of the IOS system.

PLUS, in the upper left corner it shows the START TIME and the calculated TARGET TIME.

At home I use my ten Echos and Echo Dots for timers. If it’s truly important I also use Pronto.

I recommend the cow moo as your default alarm: distinctive and can be heard in just about any environment.

Convenient, quick

This is my go-to timer for most applications. It's quick to set. A nice extra is that it says what the time will be when it expires.

After I wrote my previous review I discovered the mode that allows seconds control. It works, although it is still awkward to set it to expire at, say, precisely 3:35 p.m. Still, I use it often, frequently for a (say) 20-minute power nap. 5 stars.

Needs an iPad version!
