App needs update to work with 11.0 ISO. 2. App works Good on airplane mode but doesn’t work when silent mode. ### 4/5 — Love the app but Needs an update for iOS 11 *2017-11-26* Been using the app for my BNI chapter for a long time. Works very well with an iPad 2 a member donated to the chapter. PLEASE provide an update for iOS 11. It stopped working on my iPhone ### 3/5 — Update *2017-10-11, version 2.0* Use this every mtg/ but need an OS update please. ### 3/5 — Was great until iOS 11. *2017-09-29* Now it doesn’t work. Waiting for new version. ### 3/5 — Disappointing *2017-02-03, version 2.0* The sound stopped working on this app. I've reinstalled, am using the current IOS, but no luck. Developer does not respond to emails. Have been getting warnings on the iPad that this app is outdated and is slowing down the iPad. It hasn't been updated in years. Credibility of the developer has tanked for me since they have not responded. UPDATE: My very old request for help was finally answered after posting this negative review. Coincidence? Raising from one to three stars because of this. However, it shouldn't require so much effort to receive a simple response. ### 2/5 — Great idea but bell does not work *2015-11-19* I've tried to delete and reinstall the app, increased volume, checked I wasn't on silent. ### 2/5 — No sound on iPad Air 2 *2014-11-05* This app worked fine on my iPad 2. Now that I have upgraded to the Air 2, there is no sound when the time expires. The app obviously needs to be updated. ### 3/5 — BNI Member *2013-03-12* Good but not great. Need to be able to use the bell while the phone is on silent the way you can with an alarm. I likely will not use the app until this is updated because I can't have my phone off of silent during the meeting and the only reason I wanted it was so that the ding would happen automatically. ### 4/5 — Great for what it is. Could improve *2012-08-08* For those who say the iPod/iPhone app is sufficient, this fills a real niche on the iPad, which does not have a baked in clock app. Great as a BNI timer, very decent job. This could be GREAT all around app that puts the BNI logo in front of people on a constant basis if the following was added: Multitasking. The app does not count time when its not in the foreground. This is a standard feature for ios5. Multiple rings, including one that doesn't go off until the user interacts. These features would make the app much more robust and useful. ### 2/5 — Lame *2012-03-23* First, use the iPhone timer if for any reason it's because the iPhone has more alarm sound options and it's louder. And second, rather than have made a timer, you should have made a referral app that can be emailed or sent via mms. (see BNI merseyside app) We tried this timer but the iPhone one works better! ### 2/5 — Redundant *2012-01-07* Really cause doesn't every iPhone have a stopwatch/timer? Do I need a separate app to do that? Good effort though. Maybe include a business card scan app or another way to manage referrals and chapter members info. Possibly track cha-chings and one on ones ### 2/5 — Very limited *2011-09-26, version 1* Can't get this to time anything other than their presets, which might be how BNI does things, but in the real world, applications are much more varied than this. Waste of time. Went for pClock instead. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not working *2018-01-08* This ap isn’t working and needs to be updated for current iOS : / ### 1/5 — Needs Uodate *2017-12-24* Was great... can we get an iOS 11 update please ### 1/5 — No updates *2017-11-13* This app needs to be updated for iOS 10 ### 1/5 — No longer able to use *2017-11-09* We rely on this every week in our BNI meeting but it has been out of commission for several weeks now due to an update incompatibility. ### 1/5 — Unhappy *2017-11-08, version 2.0* I've been using this for years. But needs to be updated to iOS 11. Please can you do this? ### 1/5 — Bni timer *2017-11-02, version 2.0* Unable to get it to work on latest iPhone o/s Keeps asking that the developer updates it? When will this happen it’s been almost a month Still no bni timer I use it weekly Malcolm ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2017-10-26, version 2.0* App no longer works since IOS11 has been updated ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on ios11 *2017-10-21, version 2.0* Please update! ### 1/5 — Still doesn't multitask *2011-09-28* I'd hoped that the update would have addressed this obvious oversight. The fact that the timer stops running if you switch out of the app makes the program much less usable. PLEASE fix this in the next update. ### 2/5 — Can we get an update for iOS 11 please *2017-09-21, version 2.0* Love this app but we now cannot use it with iOS 11 Please can you update the app so that we can continue to use it. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Please Update *2017-10-06* Weds bug fixes from recent IOS Update. Thank you ### 5/5 — Lost bell *2017-08-16, version 2.0* I'm the Vice-president of our group, and the group IT guy. Our "real" timer bell had been misplaced. I got to shout "I've got an App for that." (laughter) Our group loved it! Being able to see the time for our 10 minute was a benefit too. This is going to be a popular App for BNI groups Thanks guys! Edit: 8/15/17: can this app be updated to work with IOS 11 (got notice that it won't.). Used it the last 6 years... ### 5/5 — President *2013-09-30* Works great at my BNI Chapter! ### 5/5 — Simples! *2013-09-24, version 2.0* Just what I've been looking for! Thanks ### 5/5 — BNI timmer *2013-06-28, version 2.0* Better than using the timer supplied at the meetings. I can actually figure out how it works. Easy to use. ### 5/5 — Easy to Use, Easy to See *2012-05-30* Great FREE app, nice big numbers so speakers can see at a glance how much time is left. Well done! ### 5/5 — Wonderful! *2011-09-03* Good application, very useful app for meeting flow! Thanks ### 5/5 — Great idea *2011-07-14, version 1* ...so now I get to be a BNI geek as well :) ### 5/5 — BNI Chapter VP *2011-06-26* Outstanding app! Sent suggestion to add 20 & 30 second timer options and immediately received reply that they were working on it and to check back in the near future! ### 5/5 — 5 stars *2011-06-18, version 1* Brilliant. Such a great idea. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
