Great simple app for meetings
Great for running training sessions and helps me stick to time. Would be even better if I could start the timer on my iPhone or iPad from my Apple Watch. Sometimes the phone is on a table away from where I’m standing. When running on an iPad you can read it clearly from the far end of big rooms.
Best timer on mobile and desktop
Simple and easy to use. Some advanced features would be nice, however it serves it's purpose and lives up to its name of being minimalistic.
Sounds
If I paid for an app I'd expect some selection different but this only has the default bell sound. Additionally the volume is so low even when paired to a Bluetooth speaker it is not loud at all.
Update crashes on launch
I LOVED this app, but the new update crashes on launch, on an iPad 2 running iOS 9.
Update: after a couple times deleting and reinstalling the app, it’s back to the timer I love! Just wish it went longer than 99 mins.

Sorry for the issue, app works fine on all devices we tested. Will check and update as soon as possible. Hope this will also improve your rating. Bad review can ruin months of hard work, something most people don´t think about when posting complaints. Best
Best timer yet!
Exactly what I was looking for! I spent over 15 mins searching for a good timer to alert a speaker when he is about to go over his talk/part at the Kingdom Hall. The numbers are HUGE, and the best part is the giant red screen saying "time's up." Thank you for an awesome app that I will use on a regular basis.

Thank you! Glad you find the timer valuable. Best
Not minimalist
The purchase display made it look like you could have a minute count without the distracting seconds count. But I can see no way to set this up. The last thing I want while giving a presentation is to have the seconds count flying by!
Response from developer
Thanks for the feedback. We included the feature in version 2.0. For a less "intrusive" timer, please check our Nano timer. Please consider improving your rating, it would help us develop timer further. Best
Love this app!!!
I am a preacher and speaker. I have used every countdown timer app in the store for keeping my sermons and speeches on track. Minimalistic Countdown Timer is by far the BEST!!! It is easy to use, big display for easy viewing and a bright red background when it's time to stop talking. I also use this app in meetings to keep them on track.

Good start, but work still needed
I’ve tested dozens of timer apps for use in professional tradeshow and conference settings, and this one is better than most. But work still needs to be done before it’s good enough to use in the field:
1. A 3-second start-up splash screen with the app’s title and logo. Really?
2. No support for switching from landscape to portrait. Half of the app ONLY runs in landscape and the other half ONLY runs in portrait. Really?
3. There MUST be an option to have the app start counting UP when the timer is done -- rather than just resetting or displaying a “time’s up” message. Speakers must be able to see how far they’re going over time -- so the count-up upon timeout feature is critical.
