Leave a Review MultiTimer
Very nearly perfect
I have to take medications 3 or 4 times a day, everyday so if there were a way to set multiple persistent alarms on the clock face, or a dedicated multiple meds timer I could stop using the Apple stock ones altogether and just use this great little app...very nearly perfect, but I still love it.jj...ok

Hello, Thanks for the support and review. Could you please contact our support team at support@persapps.com so that we can look into this and see what we can do about your request. Sincerely, Persapps TeamGreat app, but…
Like the title says, great app, but…
Great because it does what it says on the tin, and does it well. The interface is quite good, more so when you compare it to other apps that do a similar thing. And I’ve never missed a notification or had the app up and die randomly in the middle of, say, taking a load of sourdough from start to finish.
So why “but…”? I’ve never had the watchOS and iOS apps stay in sync for more than an hour or two. And the watchOS complication often freezes up, or starts sending out duplicate notifications. So much so that I gave up and run MultiTimer on iOS only. Lots of devs says sync using iCloud is hard, so I have to assume that’s true. That said, I’d point each of them to a Drafts as a perfect example of how flawless sync can be. I should be able to start a task on my phone, switch to my watch or laptop and back again without having things go sideways. And I shouldn’t have to jump through hoops like unpairing my watch from my phone or turning iCloud syncing on and off to get it—both of those cost more of my time than a single app is worth, especially when there’s no assurance it’s going to fix the issue.Show lessGarbonsai

Hello, Thank you so much for the feedback. In fact, it’s always worked that way. Widgets, apps on Apple Watch, apps on iPhone are completely different applications that are combined with each other according to certain established rules of interaction between iOS, watchOS, iPadOS. Again, the connection between the Apple Watch and the iPhone is via Bluetooth and WiFi channels, iCloud is not involved here in any way. Comparing MultiTimer with another project is somewhat incorrect, since they are completely different projects, even in terms of how much data each of them transmits between devices. When talking about the Drafts app, developers do not ignore the issue of iCloud and set aside a fair number of lines in their guide, describing how to act if iCloud stops working. Generally the tips are similar to what most developers give out. There are a number of limitations that cause some discomfort for both developers and users. And we try to minimise them as much as possible. Thank you for sharing the app, we are always happy to look at the experience of other developers. Best regards, Persapps TeamEverything you could want in a timer.
This is an amazing piece of software. All the different timers you could want, beautifully presented - countdown, countup, interval, clock etc, etc. So versatile. I’ve only just scratched the surface of its capabilities. The interval timer is perfect for my bread baking sessions, with multiple proving times. You can even temporarily rearrange sections, if necessary. I’m really impressed.Show lessOastie3

Hi, Thank you for your feedback. :) You can also send us your requests and questions at support@persapps.com. Sincerely, Persapps TeamCouldn’t do without it
Since my iPhone started failing me on the timer (it would only do a small vibration and no ring) I was in the lookout for a multi timer app. I love this app so much: I run a micro bakery and have multiple things baking and cooking and proving, now I can set several timers, give it different names and ringtones, set complex timers like pre-set with different timings. I’m so so happy.
The only downside is that if your phone is on silent (or night shift) it doesn’t ring out loud, I’d put that as an option ‘cause sometimes I forget.
Thank you for a brilliant app!Show lessBeba210

Hello, Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us; We really appreciate it! We understand the importance of this aspect, but unfortunately, third-party developers cannot get around some of the system features like silent mode, do not disturb mode and a number of other iOS features. Best wishes, Persapps Teamvery comprehensive
the best timer app with the most features: different types of timers, multiple timers, multiple alarms and etc. the most distinguishing feature is the connection to Siri which makes everything infinitely easier to access and run. the design interface is very appealing with gradient colour choices and minimalist icon choices. I did have a bit of problem with crashes that deleted some timers whilst editing them.Show lessjyyy.y

Hi, Thank you very much for your warm words! We couldn't have done it without you. Best regards, Persapps TeamLove this (and have a request)
Request: give option to show what time (of day) I will finish if I move straight through my timers as planned (although am not sure how this would work with Pomodoro timer).
I used the 30/30 app for ages and it was my favorite productivity tool and I was so sad to see it leave the App Store. Looked for a replacement and tried several before finding the MultiTimer. Love this so much!
Only bit missing is my feature request above. If there was a way for me to be able to plan my day using the timer and having the app show what time it will end, I would have a better sense of what can actually get done. So for example, when I start my first timer of the day it shows that I will finish by 11:45 but as the morning moves along and I pause timers now I won’t finish this timer until 10:25 so there is no way I’ll finish everything before 13:45, etc.
I use my timers to plan my ideal day but often have to pause for interruptions. Something like this would be a great “upgrade” option!Show lessMoiraEberle

Hello, Thank you so much for your comments and suggestions. We will definitely consider this feature for implementation in the app. Thanks again, Persapps TeamFunctional & Flexible
I chose this multi-timer app over others because, although it’s nice to have a simple timer that is extremely easy to use, other apps I tried did not have as many kinds of timers or customizable options. I’m a college student, and I love the timer that has multiple stages because it makes it easy to organize & divide a large chunk of time. For instance, if I wanted to keep track of my laundry, I can set a timer with 30 min for washing, and 1 hour for drying. After the first 30 min is done, the timer will automatically stop and wait for me to start it again, so I can put all my clothes in the dryer. I don’t have to make a new timer or reset the timer. The same applies if I want to spend a certain amount of time studying every day. I don’t always have a 3 hour block of time to work, but I do have hours throughout the day, and the stepped timer accommodates for that & remembers my progress. There are a good variety of timers other than the one I describe, so I think this app really has something for everyone. The interface is easy to use once you poke around, it gives you a tutorial when you first enter the app. And all of this is just the free stuff, I haven’t bought the premium version, although I might if I find I need to.Show lessemberblox

Hi there, Thank you so much for such a practical review! Feel free to send us requests at support@persapps.com to clarify features that you are not sure about. We’ll help you figure it out. You can also use the built-in help. Please take a look at the functions and elements of the application marked with the (i) icon. Sincerely, Persapps TeamCoolest, most efficient timer App I have used!
I was a little suspicious of this app being as good as advertised since it was the "featured app", I assumed it was just being pushed on the masses. I decided to give it a go anyway because I need an app that I can use for multiple parts of a crochet project but also multiple timers for several WIPS going on at the same time. High demands for a wee app. I was concerned the timer would stop timing if you were to open a new app, such as Books, for looking at inspiring ideas or whatever you need to do. This timer continues to time unless you pause it. The editing feature is fun as well, it helps make me want to crochet projects I am not too interested in... any excuse to see the fun colored timers. Now that I have used it for a very complex project and used more then one timer at a time, I feel I can leave a fair review. Whether you crochet, want a timer for cooking multiple plates, a timer for work outs you do, whatever your needs... give this app a shot, I doubt you will be disappointed as it has so many timing options!Show lessTornadoShanks

Sincerely, Persapps TeamIt’s easy to use and a perfect way to start measuring your time. Thank you!
This app is helping me be more productive and mindful of how much time I spend doing things. It’s helping me to be more productive by helping me turn my daily and long term to do lists into something I can measure and keep track of over time.
It helps me make sure I take time to sit and read to my daughter everyday and the normal pressures of life and work don’t get away from me and I feel I don’t have time. I’ve also started scheduling meditation and self reflection time and it’s easier to keep up with just because it’s in my phone with a nice easy to use interface. Obviously this attention to detail isn’t for everyone but it fits my mind perfectly and there really is nothing else like this I’ve found. If you’re on the fence try it I’m getting a lot out of it. It’s the perfect example of what a mobile app could be and should be.Show lessYouHeardItFromRob
