Best

The best timer app for iPhone (if you prefer simplicity)
This app could use a vibration function however.

Simple but needs flexibility

Works great! Using for long fasting seshs. Would like the ability to see a quick view on my iPhone Home Screen Otherwise great.

Effective and useful

Really good simple app. Beeps a few times after the countdown, and does not need stopping, perfect for handwashing etc.

Setting the duration can be a bit fiddly and maybe a more conventional UI could be provided.

Would love a vibrate option. It could default to on when iPhone volume is low.
