Fabulous App!
Thank you so much for creating this application. I use it every day.
I have to take medicine every 8 hours, and the ease of using this app makes this the best ‘timer/countdown’ application ever!
Why?:
1. The application stay conveniently on the forefront of any application running, hiding on the side of the screen, ready to show itself with a slight swipe of the finger.
2. The ease of setting up multiple timers/clocks and arranging them how you want them to be.
3. The notifications of the end of a count down is unobtrusive and is no naggy like some alarms are.
4. You can set up what side you would like the app to hide.
5. To start a timer or countdown, you just quickly tap on the circle with the timer in it. (Note: this will only work like this if you do NOT have the set up menu bar showing at the top of the application. It took me awhile to realize this.)
6. You can have multiple clocks showing from different time zones, eliminating my use of my iPads world clock app. Which to me is very convenient.
My only con, is that the original instructions, once shown when first downloading are not found after you have used the app for the first time. This was an annoyance as I could not figure out how to start the timers with a slight tap. See my note on #5 above.
I would highly recommend anyone to get and use this app!

Flexible and powerful timer app
I’ve tried a truly ridiculous number of Pomodoro, timer, and study tracker apps, and this one is the best. It has multiple features that other apps are missing: First (and most importantly to me) is the option to automatically track overtime after a timer finishes. Every other Pomodoro app I’ve tried stops tracking time after the work interval has elapsed, but often I keep working for a few minutes afterwards. This app is the only one I’ve found that will continue to count that time towards my work total. The premade templates provided also give an immediate sense for how many ways this app can be used to structure your time: Pomodoro timers, workout intervals, structured work/rest periods, simple stopwatches or countdowns. Every format I’ve tried so far has been intuitive to edit. The free version has an immense amount of functionality, but I bought the full version to support the app and gain access to the journaling/review function. Extra kudos to the developer for making the pro version a one-time purchase rather than a subscription.

Where have you been all my life
As a knowledge worker diagnosed in my thirties with ADHD, this app has become one of my best tools to stay focused and track how much time it actually takes me to complete the various tasks of my job, not just what I think it takes me. Whether or not you have ADHD, if you need to do time tracking, this is by far the easiest tool to use. I took less than five minutes to create a work board with count up timers dedicated to specific job functions. I then have the board displayed on my iPad while I work and with a quick couple clicks can easily switch between and pause timers. I paid for the full version - absolutely worth it. I can tell the developer spent a lot of time truly figuring out, and delivering, a suite of tools that actually meet our time tracking needs. It’s intuitive, easy on the eyes, and has features that I never knew I needed but now cannot live without. Thank you, thank you!!

ADHD + Visualist Approved!
This app has been SO incredibly helpful for me in the recent time since I found it. I’d been looking for a VISUAL timer app for a while to help me handle the many aspects that my ADHD brain forgets on a regular basis - from laundry, to cooking, to eating, and more. Every app I’d run across was so incredibly dull or limited. I could only have X number of timers, or it was a grayscale set up that was difficult to navigate, etc. I love that this app has different colors for the different types of timers PLUS you can have different board set ups and labels. That is sooo incredibly helpful! Loved it so much I bought the upgrade, and I also appreciate that it gives you pop-up notifications and rings even if the app isn’t open on the front screen. Now I know I will be notified for sure!
TO THE DEVELOPERS: Another thing that would be super helpful to add is the ability to customize alarm sounds per timer, or at least per board. That would help me distinguish exactly what timer is going off for what reason without having to go back in and check, because I could set certain sounds for certain tasks.

Response from developer
Hello, Thank you very much for your detailed and detailed review. Each timer initially has its own alarm sound. To adjust / change it you should go into the settings of the specific timer. The timer settings are opened by a long press on it or by clicking on the "Edit" button in the pop-up context menu. Then, click on the "Alert" settings > and click on "Play: Alarm". In the pop-up, select the type of alert: Melody, Voice alert, Vibration, or No alerting. In the application settings you change the alert sound for new timers that will be added to the board. Kind regards, Persapps team
No way to sound the alarm when you’ve locked your phone
Useful app. It’s just that you can’t lock ur screen if Uve activated a timer otherwise it won’t sound the alarm
Response from developer
Hello, Alerts and notifications should come whether the screen is locked or not, whether the app is in the foreground or in the background. Please email us at support@persapps.com and we'll try to figure out what happened to your app on your device. Until then, check the sound settings - silent mode and do not disturb mode. You can also adjust the Focus mode for the MultiTimer app in the Settings of your device. Kind regards, Persapps Team
Great timer. Please increase label character limit
Love the broad options and icon customisation. I use this for work and it greatly helps with timing separate task. Please increase the character limit for timer labels to allow more detail to be added.
Response from developer
Hello, Thank you for the review. If you increase the number of characters for the timer label, you get something unreadable instead of the timer name. We are designing the ability to add comments to the timer, as well as quick access to these comments. Kind regards, Persapps team
Almost!
I have been using this app for a while now, and I really like it. However, I often need to keep multiple repeating countdown timers in use simultaneously (like for medications), and it seems that after a few rounds the timers don’t chime properly. It seems like after I’m juggling alarms for a few hours, the sounds will just sort of disappear. I think i figured out why.
I identify my timers by sound. If I have three in play and two go off at the same time, only one will sound so I don’t realize two finished at the same time, and then I’ll never hear the quieted one again. I would prefer the first alarm to chime, and the next one immediately afterward, and keep all my alarm sounds.
Also, If I reset or pause one alarm and restart it, the restarted alarm will continue to trigger the audio at the old affixed time, instead of the new time. This means the visual countdown and audio become minutes apart from each other and totally throws me off. I hope this helps for the next update 😉

Best Timer
This is the best time keeping app for IOS hands down. No question, I’ve tried more than enough to come to this. Does everything you want or need. Easy buy.
Got to be one of the best multi-timers out there!
Tried many timers, but this is by far the best. There are so many different types available and the design is really clean, good and intuitive. Allows setting up of different repeats with a large range of different alarm sounds and you can even record audio/speech as an alarm to remind you what the alarm is etc. Also includes a Pomodoro type focusing timer and you can also set up timers to indicate if you overtime from the alarm and by how long.
You can even share a timer across to a webpage!
Excellent!

Excellent
Been using this timer for a few years now. This app is capable of more than I use it for. Occasionally I have a situation that requires more than a simple timer and MultiTimer has the options to customize an individual timer or a multi-timer set to create a custom solution for my needs.
