### 4/5 — Guter Countdown

*2019-01-15*

Wäre super, wenn man den Countdown mit nur einer Taste neu starten könnte, evtl. mit einem kurzen Cooldown.

### 2/5 — Disappointment

*2017-08-01*

I thought, after many attempts trying different apps, that I had found a timer to remind me when to take my medication. This app almost made the grade but if you close the lid on an iPad the alarm fails to go off. Pretty useless then!

### 2/5 — Display always has ad on screen

*2016-12-27*

Not mentioned in the app description or shown in screenshots. Ruins the otherwise nice visual. No option to close the ad or pay to remove it either.

### 3/5 — Okay mais...

*2016-07-11*

Bonne appli qui fonctionne bien.  Sauf qu'elle ne sonne pas si le iPod est fermé ou que je ne l'utilise pas.  Pas de son, juste un message.  Pas bon pour moi.

### 2/5 — Bof

*2016-06-12*

Loin d'Etre le "best" il est plustôt le minimum

### 2/5 — Visual is great, but audio doesn't work

*2015-11-15*

I was looking for a timer app to countdown practice questions on the GMAT. This has a great visual interface to let you know how much progress you're making, but even if you set the timer to play a sound when it gets to zero, no sound plays.  Bottom line, if you need an alert, don't get this app.

### 3/5 — Not for me

*2015-04-11*

I need Day, Hour. Minutes optional. This just has hours min sec

### 4/5 — Excellent app

*2014-11-27*

This is perfect for my workouts (30 sec intervals). Would have given 5 stars if the start/stop bottom wasn't so small.

### 4/5 — Good but needs more

*2014-06-24*

Needs a better alarm sound and a option for workouts

### 5/5 — 好评

*2013-04-07*

比自带的好用哦，计时的时候屏幕不会自动锁定

### 5/5 — Empfehlenswert

*2013-03-21*

Zählt rauf, zählt runter, mehr braucht kein Mensch

### 4/5 — 使いやすい

*2013-02-22*

カウントダウンもカウントアップも計れる。音もたくさん設定でき、音無しも選べるから周りに人がいる所でも使える。輪が時計状に増減し視覚的にも残り時間が分かる。iPadでは広告も気にならない。しいていえば時間設定の数字が回転し過ぎて選びにくいところかな。無料でうれしいです。

### 5/5 — Good

*2013-02-20*

I think it's good. And for those of u who say there's no sound, 1) check ur volume. 2) check ur hearing. 3) u have to SET the sound!   DDDDUUUUUHHHHHH!!!!!!!

### 1/5 — Unschönes Design

*2025-09-11*

Unnütze Hintergrundgrafik, Countdown viel zu klein. Gefällt mir nicht, wieder gelöscht

### 1/5 — You have ruined my timer and my morning routines!!!

*2019-07-15*

I use this with my twin toddlers every morning. It helps our morning go well. Each child is able to select a color and at the end of our morning routine, if we cooperate we always “beat the timer” and dance to the song at the end that we call the “victory dance”. I paid for the full Best Timer as well. Now that it has been updated, my screen is off and the visual of the timer is completely ineffective. I’m so upset and frustrated that I am unable to go back to a version that will look right on my phone. What a rip off!!!!

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2017-01-26*

It's pretty, but it doesn't make any sound at all when the timer finishes counting down.

### 1/5 — Not useful for me

*2015-02-03*

I downloaded this because it said fully customizable but when I went into it, that was not the truth. I want to set more than 59 minutes without having to use the Hour side, for example 105 minutes, but it wouldn't let me do that

### 1/5 — Visual interesting but

*2014-11-16*

Would've been better if could name the timers

### 1/5 — Time Lord

*2014-10-04*

Used to work fine, since the recent Apple update, it's a frozen screen, hope they sort it out soon, otherwise,,, ARMAGEDDON!

### 1/5 — Nul

*2014-08-27*

Completement inutile, ne va que jusqua 99h

### 1/5 — Funktioniert, aber ...

*2013-01-05*

... gruselige Farben und vor allem grauenvolle Alarmtöne!

### 1/5 — 音が出ない

*2013-01-03*

音が出ません？？？

### 1/5 — Does not work in iOS 6

*2013-01-02*

Tried changing settings as recommended but still does not chime when phone locked.  Useless app.

Can you add more 100 hrs
I think 500 hrs to help my work

### 5/5 — Very good

*2015-12-09*

Très utile et intéressant

### 5/5 — デザインが素晴らしい！

*2015-12-04*

私はデザインがよいアプリを探していたのでこのアプリは私にとってとても素敵なアプリです！
また、アプリの機能についてのですが、分数だけではなく秒数も設定できる点もとても魅力的な点だと思いました。

### 5/5 — Perfect little countdown timer

*2014-08-31*

A perfect little countdown timer: that's what I wanted, and that's what it is. Great simplicity, no clutter or confusion. The built-in iOS clock can't countdown in less than one-minute intervals, but this app does!

### 5/5 — Look no further!

*2013-11-21*

I'm a respiratory therapy student and use this app when studying for timed clinical scenario exams and other types of exams. Works great for other things like kitchen timer for cooking etc. Works perfectly as advertised, no glitches and I absolutely love it!

### 5/5 — Love this App!

*2013-05-29*

As an 8th grade student, I enjoy using this app to see how much time I have until the end of the day or week! The interface is simple, the tones are nice, and most importantly, this App is so useful!

P.S. if you're having trouble hearing the sound, go to your settings app, tap Notifications, then tap Best Countdown, and you know what to do from there. Now you don't need to rate this app so poorly.
