### 1/5 — A pagamento

*2024-11-21, version 3.4.3*

Non esiste una versione gratuita. 45 € per un programma per una cosa semplicissima

### 1/5 — Useless

*2024-09-24, version 3.4.3*

Why place it as FrEe app if you won’t let use it without paying anyway? Gross

### 1/5 — Not free, don’t get fooled

*2024-07-20, version 3.4.3*

Not free, nor a chance to try it to check if you like it. Don’t get fooled.

### 1/5 — Can’t try without having free trial

*2024-07-11, version 3.4.3*

Can’t just try the app without having the free trial, can’t count down an event to the second,

*2024-04-13, version 3.4.3*

Ridiculously priced.

### 2/5 — Needs improvement

*2024-02-15, version 3.4.3*

The image of the timer does not appear in messages thread. Just the link to it does.
