Malfunction.

I have used this app for a few years now and been very happy with it. However since a recent update, I’m not sure wether it was a app update, or a system update the app malfunctions. Now the alarm keeps going, a gentle touch on the screen doesn’t stop it like it used too. It’s a real drama to stop the alarm. I tried looking for a way of contacting the developer, by tapping app support, but that just showed me more apps. I didn’t want to write a bad review but I have no choice. As far as I’m concerned a good app has been ruined, such a shame. I’m forced to uninstall it and use the stock clock/timer app.

Hello, We are very sorry for the inconvenience this caused you. The issue has been identified and remediated. A hot-fix will be available with the release of the new update.

Also you can always write to the developer using the "Feedback" item in the app settings: Menu > Settings: Feedback. Thank you for your patience, Persapps Team

I want to be be able to set custom timer durations

You only have the timers that are pre-set, even with the paid version. It also glitches a bit sometimes. I’ve had to find another one

Response from developer

Hello, It seems to us that you have not quite figured out the application, since using timers without the ability to set custom duration is not logical. New timers are added by dragging and dropping them from the timer set. The set of timers is located in the board settings panel. The board settings panel is opened by clicking on the cog in the upper right corner. The duration of the timer is changed in the settings of a particular timer. Timer settings are opened by long pressing on it. You can go through a quick tutorial in the app settings to understand how to manage timers: Menu> Settings: Walkthrough tutorial. 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. Regards, Persapps Team

Mind blowing with an Apple Watch.

I rarely leave review on the App Store, but this app, combined with the Apple Watch is a mind blowing combination. I love the complication, the multiple boards and the fact that I can start stop from the Apple Watch!
I’d love an option to be able to Start and Configure timers via REST calls (or Siri shortcut) but even in its current state, it’s a great app. Much much better than Timer+

Seemed promising

Seemed promising. However didn’t go off and I spoilt the cooking. Several times. Either doesn’t work with iPhone 6 properly, or goes off once then stops reminding you. So if u don’t hear it immediately if ur in another room or talking to someone, it doesn’t bother giving any further reminders. One of the above causes this app to not work properly despite testing it and it worked properly on trial runs.

Hello, In fact, third-party developers don't have much power over what could be designed; There is a very large number of all kinds of restrictions. Therefore, stock applications will always be one step ahead of the basic functions. However, in order for the timer to alert you of the completed timer for 5 minutes, you can configure the "Repeat" function in the timer settings: timer > settings > Alert > Repeat. Sincerely, Persapps Team

Brilliant

Loving using this app. Every timer you could wish for. Easy to set & activate with extra lotto functionalities that make it super useful.

The best app in my phone

Just wanted to say that I still love this app. It is the most used app on my phone, by far. Today I discovered a new use for it.

To deal with the stress of life right now, I’ve started a breath-work practice I’m calling ‘the 615 breath’. It’s 6 rounds of 5 second inhales/exhales for 1 minute done for 5 minutes. I was looking all over the App Store to find a breath work visualization app to help me with this practice. Then, lightening struck me down, 🤦🏻‍♀️ I have the MultiTimer app! I easily created a ‘615 breath work’ interval timer. I’d never set up this kind of timer before, but it was so simple I was practicing almost right away. And it’s got great visuals with the color options and the outside surrounding circle disappearing as the seconds count down.

If you’re feeling scatterbrained and time blind, get this app and get creative with all the different ways you can use it. It will continue to surprise and help you!

Hello, You are the best! :) Thank you very much for sharing with us your short but very significant story. We are sure that your story will serve as a great example for other users of how you can improve your quality of life using just one timer. With best regards, Persapps Team

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.

Great 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.

Response from developer

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 Team

Everything 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.
