Countdown Timers Widget User Reviews

Top reviews

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 ?

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.

Not bad

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

Didn’t vibrate

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

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!

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.

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!

Kein Sound mehr - einfach mal so . . .

Beautiful but....

I love the look and simplicity of this app.
It's really lovely.
The 'but' is that it allows my music to play until the timer goes off then my music stops. I use the timer for 30 and 20 secs at a time.
This app would get 5 stars from me if the timer merely played over or just briefly interrupted my music.
Much appreciated.

Does not work

Does not work with watch os3. The screen dims after a few seconds and then no alarm. Also vibrate does not ever work.

Nicht selbstständig auf Watch2

Sorry, aber wie sinnfrei ist das denn, wenn die App Watch kompatibel ist, aber nicht funktioniert, wenn das iPhone nicht in der Nähe ist?
Die grafische Anzeige ist nett. Man kann mehrere Timer einrichten und laufen lassen.
Damit macht sie prinzipiell was sie soll.
Aber ich habe die App im Store unter Watch Apps ausgewählt, und dann möchte ich darauf hingewiesen werden, dass es nicht stand-alone ist. Unter den Umständen ist es dann auch keine 99 Cent wert.
