### 5/5 — Perfectly fine…and FUN!

*2024-07-24*

Just press the little “I” for info button to set the time. The reviews asking to add a countdown are valid- that would be a bonus for this app, especially when setting for longer periods of time. But you can visually see how much time is left easily by watching the fuse as it gets smaller and smaller.

### 3/5 — Please add a countdown

*2023-06-11*

Countdown showing the minutes / seconds counting down would make this so much more useful. 

And perhaps a screen where one has to enter in a code to diffuse the bomb before it goes off (if you can finish the work before the timer ends, basically).

### 5/5 — Epic app

*2021-01-23*

Hi sir  so in the app I wanted an upgrade   for free everyone says  it doesn’t explode  and do not make noice  sir but I need a free upgrade tomorrow’s thank you

### 2/5 — Timer too short

*2020-10-11*

Visually this is perfect but sadly the maximum period on the timer is only 12 hours.  I’m looking for something exactly like this but where you can set the fuse on the bomb to last for several days or weeks

### 5/5 — Hi ummm I kinda like it

*2020-06-12*

It’s just the noise of it but overall it’s amazing🤗🤩🥳🥳🤩🥳🤩🥳

### 2/5 — Not working

*2020-02-22*

It is a waste of time it’s awful

### 3/5 — See the timer

*2019-04-16*

Every teacher would buy this if it included a feature where you could see the actual time count down as well.

### 1/5 — No sound. No point.

*2018-09-07*

A fun and simple timer is happily use BUT without sound it’s pretty useless. Disappointed.

### 3/5 — Nice app but no sound

*2018-05-28*

I like the simplicity of this app. A really nice bomb graphic and animation. However I was disappointed that there was no sound. I was wanting to use this with the game "Pass the bomb". It would be great if there was a ticking noise while we wait for the bomb to explode. Then, most importantly, have the sound of the bomb exploding.

### 5/5 — It works

*2017-10-20*

Before download this application,I saw a lot of bad review.But in fact,it works.You must click the button on the right-bottom side.It is not a very good design for this small button.You may say it doesn’t work because of this button is too small so you can’t find it.It is a cute application.It is good but need an improve for the too small button.
