The design is absolutely stunning and I can't believe that it's free! The only thing that's missing is the ability to run a timer in the Notification Center without the program running in the background. If you can fix that, then this little app would easily be worth five dollars! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Widget no longer works *2023-07-14* Can’t add it to any widget any longer. ### 1/5 — No widget *2023-05-04* Followed directions widgets are not there, edit do developers response, I have followed the directions it is not there telling me again just says you didn’t read what I said. **Developer response:** To add the widget press the ‘edit’ button and then scroll down until you find the ‘customize’ button. Counter widget should be available in the list, just press the ‘+’ button to add it. Alternatively you can follow the steps from this video: https://youtube.com/shorts/jKa4mum1U9Q?feature=share ### 1/5 — False advertisement *2022-05-06, version 1.4.2* Pictures show it as if it could be used as a widget. But it’s not just a useless app. **Developer response:** To use the widget press ‘edit’ button at the bottom of your widgets and then ‘customize’. Counter widget should be available in the list, just press the ‘+’ button to add it. Hope this helps. ### 1/5 — update the app my god ... *2020-10-28, version 1.4.1* wasted money ### 2/5 — Out of date *2023-10-25* No longer functions as the screen shots show **Developer response:** Please note that the widget is only available in the ‘Today Extensions’ as shown in this video: https://tinyurl.com/yc8z9wth Hope this helps! ### 2/5 — Not a real widget *2020-10-16, version 1.4.1* It only shows up on the left screen. I don’t see a way to move it to the Home Screen **Developer response:** Hi, sorry but Home Screen Widgets in iOS 14 are currently non-interactive so it’s not possible for us to port the same existing functionality there yet. ### 3/5 — Is there a widget for iPad?? *2023-07-29* Looks great on iPhone but no widget appears available on my iPad OS 16.6. Big bummer. ### 4/5 — Ok. It is there. *2022-11-12, version 1.4.2* It is there. A little hard to find but it’s def there. Would love built in count down timers tho **Developer response:** To add the widget press the ‘edit’ button and then scroll down until you find the ‘customize’ button. Counter widget should be available in the list, just press the ‘+’ button to add it. Alternatively you can follow the steps from this video: https://youtube.com/shorts/jKa4mum1U9Q?feature=share ### 4/5 — Good Widgets *2016-09-14* Nice to have widget stopwatch and timer. Works just like the app. ### 5/5 — Is there a widget for iPad?? *2023-07-31* Update: Within 24 hours, developer responded with clear directions and widget now appears on my OS 16.6. Big happy! Thank you! Looks great on iPhone but no widget appears available on my iPad OS 16.6. Big bummer. **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. The widget should still work in iPadOS 16.6. Can you try restarting your iPad and removing/adding the widget again? Note also that since the widget is interactive it’s only available in the ‘Today Extensions’ as shown in this video: https://tinyurl.com/yc8z9wth ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Works perfect *2020-10-15, version 1.4.1* Great app! Very intuitive to use (especially the tap to stop timer and hold to reset function). ### 5/5 — Great app! *2019-01-16, version 1.4.0* Small, fast, and does exactly what it says it does. Worth the $1.99. My only complaint was that it took me a while to figure out long pressing the start button clears the countdown, but that's it. I think I would also like the ability to turn off the millisecond display just because it feels like too much for me. Good stuff! ### 5/5 — Great app. want it compatible Apple Watch too *2018-08-30, version 1.4.0* Can you have this iPhone counter app I have on my phone which fixtures: (Timer and stopwatch). Be compatible for the Apple Watch with the same features. That would really be helpful for my job with lunch breaks and bus route times Thank you for your time ### 5/5 — Simple, clean, works great *2017-12-05, version 1.4.0* The widget is just what I needed. Very intuitive design that blends the stopwatch and timer functions ### 5/5 — Love it! *2016-12-19* Just what I was looking for--a stopwatch with widget functionality. Now I can view the stopwatch from the lock screen with a simple swipe right. Great app! ### 5/5 — Incredibly useful *2016-05-29, version 1.2.0* The widget is perfect and makes access to a timer quick and easy. The alternative default is to use the challenging to access built in timer within Control Center. A feature that would make this a 6 star app would be the ability to open the app by a double tap within the widget. ### 5/5 — Excellent widget! *2016-03-26* This is a simple and elegant combined timer and stopwatch widget with minimum buttons. Makes clear sound when timer reaches zero even if phone is off. Highly recommended. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2016-01-13, version 1.2.0* They got everything right on this one. The only thing that might be nice is if it was collapsible, but it's already pretty compact. The touch controls in the widget were really well thought out. ### 5/5 — Counter is definitely what you want! *2015-09-23, version 1.1.0* If you're looking for a stopwatch/timer that can be set as quickly and easily as the built-in iOS fun, but remain quickly visible and accessible, this is it. It's a beautifully compact widget that can even be set from the today view but doesn't have annoying buttons hogging up the space! I spent forever searching for app that met this criteria: 1) a widget, 2) able to be set FAST, EASY 3) took up minimal precious widget space, 4) looked professional, 5) did exactly 1-4 without other frivolous features This was the only one I found that met even 3 of of those! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
