### 1/5 — 音が鳴らない

*2024-01-04, version 1.7*

GOOD// キッチンタイマーのように分ボタンとスタートボタンの2タップで開始できるところ
BAD// スリープ画面とバックグラウンドで動かしている時には音が鳴らず、「ヴ」とバイブが一回震えるだけになってしまう。

### 1/5 — スリープ中はタイマーが止まります

*2022-05-30, version 1.6*

無料なのにダイソーのタイマー以下の性能です

### 1/5 — 機能しない

*2022-03-20, version 1.6*

スマホの画面が消えればタイマーが止まり、アラームも鳴らない。
使いものにならないアプリ。
星をゼロにしたいくらい。
だいぶん期待はずれ。

### 1/5 — スリープで作動ストップは致命的！

*2022-01-21, version 1.6*

シンプルで使いやすいだけに残念でならない！

### 2/5 — デザインはシンプルで好きだが

*2020-02-18, version 1.4.1*

スリープになると止まってしまう、これは不便

### 1/5 — 起動中のみ時間が進むってどうなの？

*2018-01-13, version 1.1*

使いにいのひとこと。
高評価できかねますねー。

### 2/5 — 止まってしまう

*2017-10-24, version 1.1*

アプリを表示させておかなかったり端末をスリープさせたりするとカウントが止まってしまう。類似の、同じような操作で使えるアプリがなく、これは便利だと思い使ってみたが、端末を常に起動させておいてしかもタイマーとしてしか使わない人以外には向かない。

### 5/5 — 1番使いやすい！！

*2017-09-05, version 1.1*

キッチンタイマーって、用途が割と限られていますよね。
例えばカップ麺は3分が多いですよね。
このアプリだと2タッチでセット完了します。
もちろん細かい時間もセット出来るのでとにかく便利です。
実際に家で使用しているキッチンタイマーは
人参の形の同じ仕様のものですので
アプリであればいいなーと探したら、あったのでビックリ。
その代わり音はタイマーらしい？フツーのもので
カスタマイズ性は全くありませんが
シンプルイズベストで全く問題なし！
愛用させていただきます☆

### 1/5 — 嘘でしょ

*2016-03-06, version 1.0*

セットできません。ゴミです。

### 1/5 — かわいいけれど

*2015-10-17, version 1.0*

他のアプリいじってる間は時計が止まるようなので全く使えません。
