*2025-07-22*

### 1/5 — Can’t keep time

*2023-04-06*

Sorry, I had this running for about a week in order to keep track of a specific time, and that exact moment passed with this app still counting down. If I hadn’t noticed the time about an hour later it would have been lost entirely.

**Developer response:** Deleted app, hello! I didn't quite understand what the problem was. If you have enabled push notifications, this app will send you a notification as soon as the specified date and time arrives. After that, the timer will go in the opposite direction, that is, count down how much time has passed since the event. Please excuse the inconvenience. Thanks for the feedback 🙏

### 1/5 — ппу

*2024-08-19*

честно,даже не знаю как оценить.понимаю,конечно,что это просто приложение и все это не правда,и все приложение было создано для прикола,чтобы напугать маленьких детишек,ведь логично,что какое то левое приложение никак не определит дату смерти человека,не так ли?

**Developer response:** Ни о какой дате смерти идет речь. Таймер изначально выставлен на год вперед

### 5/5 — Perfect. Absolutely perfect.

*2026-07-09*

No notes. No ads. Just a simple thing to keep track of my goal in life. Love it

### 5/5 — Does what it says it does

*2026-06-26*

Such an accurate description of exactly what it does I can’t bring myself to suggest a feature.

But I will anyway - I’d love a widget, and an option for units so I’d have days rather than months.

But my goodness, cannot recommend this app enough - it does what it does, no ads at all - so no risk of ones you don’t want displayed at work, which is something that I had happen with a similar app.

### 5/5 — Мое почтение

*2026-06-19, version 1.2.1*

Добавьте пожалуйста возможность показать таймер на экране блокировки и главном экране в виде виджета 🙏

### 5/5 — Огонь

*2026-06-09*

Умоляю сделайте виджет

### 5/5 — Almost perfect!

*2026-04-27*

Was looking for something to keep track of fasting time. This one is simple, easy to use, and doesn’t farm your data.  Two suggestions.  A switch in the settings to change between count up/down would be phenomenal.  Sometimes you have to break a fast early, and it would be great to have a quick reference to log the duration. 

With that count up function, it would also be nice to be able to set the start manually.  I discovered this app almost 2-1/2 days into a 7 day fast.  Would have been fantastic to backdate the timer and see the elapsed time.  Definitely be something worth paying for.

### 5/5 — More apps need to be like this

*2026-03-06*

No subscription, no advert spam, no useless features, and didn’t even ask to track me/my location. Wowwwww an app that is not actively spying on me? I didn’t think it was possible in this day and age. 

Im excited for more apps / projects from this developer.

**Developer response:** Thank You very much! I created this app while I was still in university, and since then I've only updated it slightly every few years to ensure it works on the latest versions of iOS.

### 5/5 — Simplicity

*2026-02-02*

There aren’t enough simple apps out there. This is a breath of fresh air.

**Developer response:** Thank You ❤️

### 5/5 — Best Countdown timer on the App Store

*2026-01-23*

Simple, easy, straight to the point. Extremely small learning curve and once you understand, it’s easy. It only has one timer so you can prioritize what is the most important thing you want to keep time of. I would highly recommend.

**Developer response:** Thank You

### 5/5 — I like it -

*2026-01-16*

Can you add feature to allow countdown to breakdown into smaller units? 

It sounds stupid but it’d like to see my countdown in all seconds or hours and seconds.

There’s other apps that do this but they’re clunky and I don’t like them. This style is really appealing to me.

I would be okay with chipping in 50¢-99¢ just for that feature lol.

**Developer response:** I will make it in the next update

### 5/5 — Very good

*2025-12-27, version 1.2.1*

I have never seen a single timer that can go over 24 hours so this is great. I will definitely use this a lot
