Good Game!!

I was able to put the phone down to elaborate an applicable issue I only renewed by reading twice. After I highlighted mistakes in two different texts, the timer only acted more like a radar to what I only knew. But that was only after submitting to an equal-time ratio to the case at hand.

Great for board games.
Necessity for disputes.

App does not function properly at all.

Timer runs faster than a standard second more often than not, usually after completing one timer cycle and trying to start another. It is not fixable without completely shutting down the app and reopening. I bought your premium to unlock further options that also do not work as advertised. I cannot make any changes to the values on your premium timers. Also none of input menus other than you feedback block have contrasting colors making it impossible to see if any changes are being made as far as times or typing input.

LOVE THIS UPDATE!

This app was great. It had a very simple interface, not a ton of features, but then again, I didn’t need any extra features. It’s one flaw was that it’s design was… mediocre. Now, that’s ALL changed. It looks SO much better, and overall blends in with iOS more. Thanks for the update!

Good for iPad

THIS IS AWSOME FORTHE IPAD!!!

Does not work for Scrabble.

The description says it will work for Scrabble. For Scrabble the clock needs to continue running after the allotted time has elapsed. Play is allowed to continue but a penalty is assessed based on the amount of extra time used.
