Almost perfect
App is great. But you cannot undo the accidental removal of a player. We recently played a 14 hour game and it would be horrible if after many hours in I mis-clicked that button once. Can you add a confirmation dialog and the ability to un-remove a player with perhaps a long press?
Thanks!
Thanks!
Response from developer
Glad you like our game timer! There is an undo button on the far left and it can actually undo the removal of a player. It can undo the turn clock as well, which is useful if you forget to pause when taking a break or someone advances to the next player by mistake. You can also return to a game if you accidentally ended it, and it remembers and resumes the game state if the app is closed forcefully. I wanted to make sure it was safe to use for those epic sessions.
Good Timer
Great timer but would be even better if you could add an option to make the time add up for each player. Like a chess clock! When your turn starts you hit your name and it keep track of the total time you spent during the game!
Miracle app
This app cured my wife’s analysis paralysis and turned her into a turn-planning-ahead machine.
Great timer, recommended
Great timer, very useful
Could use
a better font or the option to pick another one
dark mode
simultaneous turns
networked - use people’s own devices to advance turns
create and save game settings with multiple timer modes

Just what I needed - no more analysis parálysis
Phenomenal app... Minimalist but has almost everything.
Would be EVEN BETTER if it tracked total time and time per player at the end of a game. Still, solidly deserves five stars.

Perfect app
We LOVE this app. It is perfect for those peeps who take forever to play tabletop games. We use it to play family games and we can add time to our kids so they can have a more fair game.
One game we love to play is “say words starting with ___”. We randomly pick a letter, then take turns saying words that start with that letter - no repeats. This timer allows us to make the game much more fun since we can set a chess like timer for each player or a turn timer (like if you have 10 seconds to answer).
If you have any need for a timer like this, it’s well worth the cost. Just one night saved from the slowpoke player makes it worth it.
BTW the instructions are super clear and I found the settings really easy to understand.

Flawless design and all the needed features
First of all, great app! It’s perfectly designed and have almost all of the options you could think of. It’s rare I get an app that fits so well with the needs I have.
Tried it for real for the first time yesterday to play a game of timed Jenga with 3 friends. We had a blast! 4th friend arrives, no problem! Added it and we were good to go.
The only thing missing was the ability to set shorter game length than one minute. We managed with 1 minute and 3 seconds bonus each turn, but it would’ve been ideal if we could’ve set it to 30 seconds and 5 seconds bonus.
I can see times where 1:30 minutes could also be useful.
So, please consider adding the ability to set game length in seconds also.
Otherwise, fantastic app!

Lacking clear instructions
When I first got it, I thought it didn't work. It appeared stuck on two person timer and options wouldn't allow it to change. Shut down app and restart it doesn't work either. Only by spending lots of time am I figuring it out. Could be a good app but it isn't intuitive at all. I would certainly update the score if it would just tally the total time each player spent on the return. So at the end of the game and during the game when you could see who was the slowpoke. Really wish I could get my money back.

Could use some basic features added.
I feel like it has some great basic mechanics but unfortunately didn't realize there was no buzzer after each turn. It would also have been great to have an option allowing it automatically start the next turn. So buzz after a turn is over and begin counting down the next.
