Perfect for yin

I teach and practice yin yoga and this is the perfect little companion. Easily programmed. I love this app and use it every day.

I guess it works - but not for #Deaf

I wanted something I could hear "right out of the box." I was looking for a repeating chime so as to remind me to step away from the computer, stand up, etc. I'm deaf in the high frequency tones and without hearing aids or earphones or holding my phone literally right in my ear all day, I can not hear the tone. I barely hear some of the three "triangle" tone pieces even with holding phone right inside my "good" ear. (I hear nothing in my bad ear.).

I did hear from the developer and he said I could test the other options by a complicated set of directions and I only today was able to go back and re-read and figure it out. I could hear a few of those samples, but they are all fairly quiet...AND I will have to pay extra to compensate for the deafness that is not "my fault" nor "his fault". So this is one I will delete for now, as I ended up buying a Westminster Chime app. But if someone really needs all the extra pomodoro reminder chimes, this would be a better app then the one I got (just 4 chimes an hour , 15 minutes each, and it chimes the hour at top of the hour.).

Works great

Needed a simple app that wasn't obnoxiously loud to go off every 15 minutes for 16 hours a day. Love that I don't have to set it up every day. I haven't played around with it much, but it was easy and quick to set up and he has a YouTube video to walk you through it if you need the help. Wish I could have it start itself in the mornings since now that's what I have a hard time remembering to do. Guess I'll have to set an alarm for that part though.

Simply works great.

Easy to use. Ultra reliable. Pay the extra and get the Pro for multiple chimes and tune selection.

Favorite Repeating Timer

I had a task that needed to be repeated and I didn't want to keep setting the timer every time. I tried several timer apps and this one is my favorite. You can set up multiple timers and even save them to use again later. From a simple repeating timer to more complicated nested timers this will do what you need. For example, you can set up a Pomodoro session of 25 minute bursts and 5 minute breaks repeating four times or anything else you can imagine. I would love it if I could use custom ringtones. Otherwise, it works great and is very useful as a repeating timer.

Needs improvement

I was happy to have found an app that chimes at certain intervals. But unfortunately this app behaves very erratically and the edit page did not change the things I wanted. I hope the developer(s) take the time to correct this. Otherwise it is a waste of precious space on my iPhone.

Response from developer

Hi ebassiri, would you go through the Support menu in the app and let me know what it is you're looking for in the Edit screen?

Seems to work beaut

Use it as a precaution against falling asleep for too long while doing body scan/meditation

Poor settings

Can't set to keep chiming until reset. No info on pro version. Have to pay to find out. Sorry, but no thanks.

There is no sound

EPIC FAIL!!!!!!

Simply confusing!!

Simple app takes hours to figure out :(
