### 2/5 — Sound quit working

*2024-11-16*

As if yesterday, this timer became useless. I've burned two meals because the sound quit working!

### 3/5 — No sound!

*2020-11-25*

Hi.....can anyone help me please.  When timer is up, I have no sound!  Yes, I did go into settings!  Thank you!

### 2/5 — Needs an update

*2019-04-01*

I love this timer but it doesn’t work with iPhone XR or ios12.
Please can you update it.

### 3/5 — Good Visually but No Sound

*2018-01-24*

No sound no matter what I do

### 4/5 — Nice except for interface issue

*2016-11-06*

Timer works exactly as advertised. It's really easy to set and has lots of nice alarm sounds.

However, turning it off is a pain. I haven't found a way to deactivate it. It keeps recycling and sounding alarms ad nauseum. Finally I figured out to set it to zero, and it still alarms once, but then stops. This is ridiculous for a simple timer app that will almost always need to be used once then stop. At least make a couple buttons to clearly either recycle or cancel the alarm. I've noticed this is a common problem with most iPad/iPhone alarms.

### 2/5 — 1時間までしか設定出来ない

*2016-03-23*

なぜ。

### 3/5 — Doesn't run in background

*2016-01-03*

Nice clear design but it's annoying that it doesn't run in background so the alarm doesn't ring if the app isn't on screen. Also, the scrolling on the time setting feature is slow to respond, though I'm not sure if that's the app or my iPod.

### 1/5 — Like the looks but what's the point alarm without sound

*2015-10-04*

I like the looks of it but after downloading and selecting the alarm sound I sit and wait. The sound did not kick in not even a beep. How can an alarm be an alarm without sound. I used this on my iPhone 6 Plus. This is a useless software.

### 1/5 — No sound!

*2015-09-19*

Would be perfect if the alarm sound worked. I have a sound selected, but it doesn't play when timer reaches 0. iOS 9.

### 2/5 — Limited

*2015-05-06*

It seems to only allow 1 timer.

### 1/5 — Timer

*2015-03-20, version 1.02*

It doesn't work, no sound.

### 1/5 — Quiet

*2015-03-11*

Nice looking timer but has no sound could you make this work ?.

### 1/5 — Ne sert à rien

*2021-09-01*

Car ne sonne pas!
Heureusement que cette application est gratuite !

### 1/5 — 有广告

*2021-08-05*

这个是有广告的,都不好用了。

### 1/5 — Download just to give 1* review

*2021-07-21*

Don’t bother downloading this trash app.

You’ve really got to be kidding putting “best” in the name of the app.

The app description indicates 60 minute timer, the built in iOS clock timer does 23 hours, 59 minutes, 59 seconds, essentially up to one day, why would anyone want a mere 60 minute timer? There are tons of recipes that require more than 60 minutes.

One thing the iOS app doesn’t do is multiple simultaneous timers but you can set essentially an unlimited number of alarms which is essentially the same concept. Your app does one 60 minute timer…ergo this app is completely worthless.

### 1/5 — Crappy timer. Hard pass.

*2021-06-24*

This timer is worse than useless. Difficult to use and audio alarms don’t work.  It is a complete piece of sh*t. Look elsewhere fir a decent timer.

### 1/5 — Pointless

*2020-10-05*

Only one timer, what’s the point?

### 1/5 — Difficult to use

*2019-08-13*

Difficult to use.  No real help with trying to figure it out

### 1/5 — はい？

*2019-06-29*

キッチンタイマーの癖に音が鳴らないとかappに上げないでくれる？
しかも改善無し
こういう無駄なものを作る神経が理解出来ない

### 1/5 — Esthétique, mais...

*2018-08-27*

Timer au design sympathique, la publicité est discrète, mais il ne présente malheureusement aucun intérêt car il ne sonnera pas si l’application n’est pas active et l’écran allumé...

### 1/5 — Why is a simple timer so hard to find?

*2017-12-03*

I've tried a handful of timer apps and so far they have all been totally useless. This one is the best so far, except it has no sound... 

zero stars.

### 1/5 — Impossible d'entendre une sonnerie

*2015-10-28*

Tout est dans le titre, impossible d'entendre une sonnerie, inutilisable

*2021-10-27*

キッチンにも役立ちますね、それで鬼ごっこなどの制限時間にも良いね

### 5/5 — Very good

*2015-12-09*

Très intéressant et utile

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2015-03-15*

Not sure what the other reviewer meant, this timer plays a little tune when time is up. I tried downloading several simple count down timers but the others were either annoying beeps or just did not count down like I was needing. This app is the best I have found. Easy to set and reset again. Thank you!

### 5/5 — 見ためがよい

*2015-01-21*

時間も一時間くらいまではかれるのでとても良いと思います。料理や解凍によく使ってます。

### 5/5 — Needs update for iOS 8

*2014-09-24*

Brilliant simple timer used it for a few years now, however needs an update as it has stopped working for iOS 8 update. Please fix this as I do use this regularly !!!
