Useless!

Quite Limited: There are only 5 preset timers with the maximum being 1 hour. If you need to set a timer for a time other than 1, 2, 5, 30 sec, 10, 25, 45, or 1 hour, forget it. No possibility of setting a timer for more than 1 hour! No 3 minute egg. No half hour! What planet is this developer living on?

This is not a widget

Both description and screenshot show this has a widget, however there is no widget option. You will not get a response or refund.

Absolutely love this app!

This app has been incredible for me. When cooking I can run multiple timers and name them so I don’t get confused when they start to go off. The alarms can be a bit mellow sounding but are perfect for the environment I’m in. Thanks for keeping this app true to its roots by not over complicating it. I’ve owned this app for a few years now and had to let you know it’s a great app, a must own if I do say so myself.

Fantastic! The best timer app

I’ve used Orbs for years and years and it’s still the best multiple timer app available.
Completely customisable duration/colour/icon and totally reliable.
Love the design and sounds.
My only wish is that the notification sound set on iPhone would play by default on the Apple Watch rather than just the standard ‘ting!’
It’s always the first app to be installed and gets used everyday - couldn’t be without it!

To the devs:
Thank you for your continued work with Orbs over the years. 😀

To everyone else:
Get it - you won’t regret it 👍🏼

The

Sounds Are Not Loud Enuf or Long Enough

I love the visual aspect of this app. My only problem in using it is the sounds aren’t long enuf OR loud enough. I have phone phone’s volume settings set at the maximum volume for rings and alerts. Perhaps there is a way to make the sound louder but if so I haven’t figured it out. Perhaps my hearing is not as good as it once was, but it isn’t terribly impaired. Seems to me that the signal for the end of the alarm needs to designed with some view of the fact that people have differing hearing abilities. Also, if the sound were longer it might have a much better chance of getting my attention even if not very loud. These are little blips that can be easily missed by me when I’m across the room OR simply engrossed in something I am doing. This timer would really well-serve people who get engrossed if the sound capabilities were enhanced.

Let’s put on Widgets!! 🤩

Love Orbs timers for iPhone, Apple Watch and iPad! As a such handy and functional multiple timer app, Orbs need one big function to be added is Widgets! To be added on Lock Screen’s widgets is a must for Orbs!!!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

Crashing

Set sometimes but started to crash everytime I tried to open the app ?

Response from developer

Hello, team is looking into this. Meanwhile have you tried to reinstall the app to see if that helps?

Doesn’t save changes, then crashes

Tried to set up a few timers with titles and icons, but none of the changes I made were saved. Tried multiple times. Then the app crashes. Not fit for purpose.

Response from developer

Thank you for reporting. Our team is looking into this.. Sorry for the current inconvenience!

Not bad

Hi! The idea looks very promising, but the current release feels quite raw. Hope you will improve the app!

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback and using our app. Yes we do have on our roadmap an update to refresh things.

Didn’t vibrate

When time is up, the Apple Watch Doesn’t vibrate.

lots of Bugs

Update,please!

Response from developer

Thank you for following up. We do have an update in works later this summer. Sorry for the delays!

通知不正常,额外时间不保存

软件不错,但真的会乱跳通知。倒计时还没结束就说完成了还会出来好几次。

另外打开额外时间的开关后,再次进入设置时发现开关是关的,每次都要重新打开。

bug比较多,望修复。

Response from developer

Thank you for reporting. We have added those to our list of fixes. Sorry for the inconvenience!

WANT A REFUND!!!

I’d like my money back!! I’ve tried numerous times to delete timers 3-8 and every time it get to number 6 or 7 the app crashes and when I try to reopen it the app will crash immediately and I ha e to delete and reinstall the app which I’ve done at least 7x now and it’s not worth my time nor money so I’d like a refund!

创意极好,但时间不准

时钟最重要的是时间要准吧,这个app创意极好,但是每个时间泡泡里面和外面的时间都不同,是在搞笑吗

Alarms don’t always ring

Even with the volume turned up on my phone it seems like the alarms don’t work half the time.

Not great for Apple Watch

I really want to like this app, but the watch support just isn’t there. I got this for working out (preferably iPhoneless) and the watch has no sound and does not tell you when the timer has finished.

Response from developer

Hello and thank you for your feedback. We’ll revisit the watch app and try to improve it. Thank you!

非常好的设计!找了好多计时软件,这个最简洁也最智能!但是莫名其妙会乱跳出提醒,请尽快改进!!

Worked great before the update

Uninstalled then reinstalled the app, now my favorite ever timer app is back with some really cool new features. If you need to run several timers at once this should be your go-to!

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback! And glad all worked out for you!

Does not notify on watch

Please fix this!
