Easily the best timing App for the Apple Watch or iPhone.

Even before the latest update this timer app was head and shoulders above all others. The ability to run colour coded timers of various lengths simultaneously is brilliant. The combination timers are very ingenious. The latest update changes the complication icon on the Apple watch to a countdown slider for the timer ending soonest - this is just incredible. I found I needed to uninstall the app-link from the watch via the phone’s watch settings for Multitimer and then re-install to get the new complication. Takes 5s. This app is the work of a genius.

Wow

If you need a set of independent timers for any number of tasks - this app goes there and far beyond. Any kind of timer (countdown, countup, pomodoro, interval... it goes on) in any combination.
I make sourdough bread so I have separate timers for the various stages - it’s a life saver for me with everything else going on. Support is also active and helpful. Highly recommended.

For Powerboat Time Trialling

We use this app every week and it’s great.
It would be an added bonus to be able to share personalised clocks across all your devices and to store and reuse clocks from the past.

Response from developer

Hello, Thank you for the review. :) We are working on designing the iCloud syncing function, so that you could share your timers across all your iOS devices. // If you a Pro app user, then you are able to add unlimited numbers of timers. You don't need to delete or to re-configure timers every time you need a new timer. Timers save what you put in. The app has a bunch of default timers that you can edit to fit the different tasks and deeds. You can add new timers from the top by dragging and dropping the type of timer you want.

Great for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

I use this tool to pace myself and manage my Chronic Fatigue. I’ve found that using the Pomodoro Timer, where I have 25 minutes of activity followed by 5 minutes rest, and then 30 minutes rest after 3 sessions of 25x5 works very well.

I tried pacing before but having a timer like this automates the process and ensures I rest enough. Otherwise I’m inclined to just keep going until I’m exhausted. And then I pay the price being in bed the next day.

With this tool, I use the Pomodoro Timer and then another “count up” Timer for extra rest breaks whenever I feel I need them. I make it an experiment to see how long I need to rest before I feel rejuvenated. Something about having timers seems to give me permission to pace myself rather than just keep pushing all the time.

Delighted to have found this app!

Excellent

👍👌🏽

Does not show up on lock screen

I prefer my iPad to be in sleep while a timer is running. When the timer reach zero, it should show up on the lock screen. Most other timers do, including Timer+ but MultiTimer don't. I set a 30 seconds countdown, started it, put iPad in sleep, and watched a blank screen waiting for it to display completed timer. When I wake up the iPad, oh look! I'm one minute overdue!

Deleted the app after about 10 minutes of trying it out. On paper, it looks like a good design, colourful, great layout, etc., but if it won't show up on the lock screen when iPad is in sleep, I don't want it.

Hello, Major Eazy, Thank you for your feedback. Often, and in most cases, the problem lies in the settings of notifications and "do not disturb" modes. First off clear all notification in the Notification Center screen and then make a hot reboot of the iPhone, then you should check: - Alert and Notification settings in the Settings app: Settings app > Notifications > MultiTimer - Sound settings in the Multitimer settings: MultiTimer > Side Menu > Settings > Sound settings - Timer Sound options within the timer settings: MultiTimer > (any) Timer > Sounds > Sound Also, be sure the "Don't disturb" function and the "Silent" mode are disabled in the Control Center. If everything is good with these parameters, then the following steps may help you: - Completely close the app. - Turn off the Internet on your phone. - Reboot the phone. - Launch the app without the Internet connection. After that you can turn on the Internet. We could understand more and answer your questions if you would contact our support team at support@persapps.com or via "Send feedback" option in the app's Settings, giving us an opportunity to study the analytical log of your application on the iPad.

Great Little App

Can’t live without this in a health clinic where we have multiple patients in different rooms. Just painted the doors different colours, matched the MultiTimer to the colours and we’re never late for anyone. Patients marvel at how we arrive just as the treatment is about to end.

Hello, This is amazing! Thanks for your feedback. We believe that this is a great experience for those who are related to the medical clinics. Sincerely, Persapps Support Team

Great app!

Really great, fantastic app, neatly designed, thoughtfully programmed and nice looking. I use it on daily basis for a number of purposes. The Apple Watch app communicates flawlessly with the iPhone app. The Watch app can be used even without connection with the Internet or the phone, and when the connection is re-established, the phone app is updated, so you can easily switch between the two devices.
The app has many options to choose from, and many handy settings in each type of timer, as well as nice little icons for timers.
Also, customer support of the developer is great. I had some problems with my Watch app recently, I wrote to them, and they were very helpful! (and the problem was solved).
All in all, I really recommend this app.

Creative, Impressive & Innovative!

I’ve been using this app. for some time. They are constantly adapting and improving to the needs of the people who are using the timers. I use and need a lot of timers for different things like taking medicines and exercises. This timer allows me to set intervals of rest, exercise with out stopping what I am doing, so I can concentrate on what I am doing! I’ve been able to adapt it to my many needs. It is so creative you are the limiter of what you can do. It is impressive because of the scope that it covers and Innovative because they are using the users to give them the ideas on how to make it better and they actually take those ideas and make upgrades as the needs of the users increase. They listen to the input that users give them and have incorporated them into there timer. This is one of the 2 apps. that I actually paid for it is so good, rather then sit though the adds. I am been impressed and excited about this app. It gives me a sense of freedom and control with my complicated daily routines and regiments.
Wonderful app.
Keep it up!!!

Fantastic, in a class of its own

I love this app. It’s exactly what I was looking for. I’m so glad someone made it. I like that you can have multiple boards, I like the commands which are basically macros that start stop or pause the various widgets on any of your boards. The commands work across multiple boards. That’s brilliant. The fact that you couldn’t drag and drop widgets from one word to another is also brilliant. I would pay for an in app purchase of being able to upgrade to being able to have one widget live and show up on multiple boards but have one identity. I would also pay for an in app upgrade it to be able to export my settings to Microsoft excel and then tweak them and then re-import them because that would be so much faster for me than clicking through the GUI. Also, I’d love to be able to share my profile across my Apple devices, so I couldn’t have timers running on my iPad and then pick up my iPhone and have that shared event functionality. Also, if you look at a little game called Mekorama, they get their users to create widgets for them for free. You could do that. You could have people create boards for the trendy diets, exercise programs, or whatever, and then upload them to your user forum and let other users download them and that would add tremendous value to your app. This idea would piggyback on top of the import export in excel format. Or CSV is fine too.
