Just needs more tones other than a traditional boxing timer. ### 2/5 — Ads *2026-02-09, version 6.7* There’s ads on iPhone but not android ### 2/5 — Why I don’t use boxing timer often *2026-02-06, version 6.7* Unable to change settings such as round duration, rest time, warnings, etc ### 5/5 — Phenomenal *2026-01-27, version 6.7* This app is a game changer ### 3/5 — 백그라운드재생 *2026-01-25* 프로버젼에서 백그라운드재생이 안되요. ### 3/5 — Suggestion *2026-01-24* Can you make it run in the background like a clock so that time continues and the bell rings even when the app is closed? ### 2/5 — Ads and pop ups *2025-12-28, version 6.5* Within 15 seconds there was a popup saying my iPhone had a virus.
