I just downloaded this for the first time. It looks super cute so I was excited, but it immediately threw a weird "Failed to sign in anonymously" and says to contact support. Closed and reopened and it happened again. Couldn't do anything. That's a concerning first start so, no, I'm not contacting support. Will look for another timer app.
