Missed opportunity

I was hoping I might be able to use this app to expose photographic contact prints, I kind of expected the ability to manually program in a countdown time from 1sec up to whatever.
But there is only presets, the minimum of which is 30 secs. It’s of no use to me I’m afraid.
I wanted it for a very specific use I’ll grant you, but it seems like an oversight not to have any level of fine control over times.

Great app

👍

I suppose this app will do.

I picked this app because of its relatively small size. It is actually one of the first time I download a mobile app from a small writer . I am using this to time my Christmas string lights this year . Thank you for writing this app. I was originally going to try and write an application myself using Swift and XCode. Then, I tried to find a mobile compiler to do such a thing. I don’t know why I did not think to download an APP from the AppStore.

Anyway, thank you for publishing this app.

New UI

Sorry, but the new UI is hideous. Thankfully you’ve given the ability to switch to the old UI

Used to be my go-to app

I loved the original GUI for the simplicity of the app. I don’t want the new interface because I don’t need the complication.
What has destroyed my dependence on this app is the full page advertisements that pop up to obscure the original interface. When I need to add more time I’m hitting the advert instead which causes Safari to open and the light goes out. I end up having to close Safari and the app in order to be able to use it again.
It’s unacceptable. I don’t mind the developer earning revenue with adds but they have destroyed the usefulness of the app.
I can not recommend this app any longer.

Response from developer

Thanks for being a long-time user. We are sorry that the full screen ads are showing up at unpredictable timing. Please contact us through the in-app feedback. We will be able to provide a solution to solve the problem for you.

AppAdvice download

immediately after AppAdvice promotion the developer turns this into “in app purchase” app. Not cool or ethical

Response from developer

We didn’t actually ask AppAdvice to feature this app this time. We changed the price and somehow AppAdvice picked it up automatically. Please send us an in-app feedback so we can better assist you. Thanks.

Widget

The widget is gone with this new version. It was so handy to launch the app from the widgets home. Could you add it back? Thank you.

Response from developer

New widgets are going to be added in version 6.0.1.

Debugging

The biggest problem that can be taken is that when it comes out of the program, it no longer works and the phone light turns off, if it is right that you leave the program and the light and timer continue to work and serve, do not get tired at all

Great App!

Do you think you could add a feature where you can pause the timer and the light goes off, but then start the timer again and it comes back on? That would be great.

No intensity

I was “adjusting” the light intensity, but it really doesn’t do much.

Response from developer

It is caused by an iOS bug. We have reported this issue to Apple. Hopefully they will fix this soon. Meanwhile, rebooting your iPhone may help.
