### 4/5 — Good but could be better

*2025-08-28*

Some easy things that would make this five stars:
1. If you could duplicate a routine 
2. If you could hear the different sounds when choosing which alert sound to use
3. If there was a way to adjust the default settings so you don’t have to toggle them every time. I want my default setting to be bell, read title only, heavy vibrate, etc.
4. If you could work in the app while a routine is playing. I want to edit new routine but I can’t because my morning routine is already in progress and I don’t want to pause it.
5. If you could select colors for the routines 

Larger asks: I’d love if this talked to Alexa or Siri so I could automate starting a routine with voice commands. I’d also love if there was an option to play music during specific cues - maybe a Spotify integration?

### 4/5 — Very good

*2025-02-23*

I like the others am so glad to finally get the functionality of that other app. My two requests would be as follows. First, please make the actual finish prediction font nearly as large as the current timer minutes and seconds. I push myself to see if I can get out the door sooner each day. Second, it would be great to see what step is coming up next. Otherwise I love it!

**Developer response:** Hi, and thanks for the review!

In some cases, font sizes are smaller so that menus can still fit in all the information even when users use certain screen sizes, or when they increase the font size with accessibility settings. I can look into tweaking the menu design so that font sizes are easier to read on normal settings. Thanks for the feedback!

### 4/5 — Nicely designed

*2023-11-25*

Still waiting for this; it is essential for longer steps. One feature, that I would like to have, is the option to add a 3 or 5 second countdown for the end of each step. This would provide an aural cue that the step is about to change.

Thanks to the developer for increasing the number of possible loops! This is a nicely designed app, with good features. There are options for the number of steps, settings (sounds, colors, animations, etc) for each step, and more. There is an explanation for each feature. However, toggling the bell icon seems to make no difference with the sounds.

**Developer response:** EDIT 2: Update 1.7 adds your requested feature as a new timer customization, and also adds a new app-wide setting that lets you toggle if timer SFX/Notifications play at the end or start of a timer (alongside another new setting, “Cue Completion SFX”). Let me know if this accommodates your use cases.

Hi, and thanks for the review!

Raising the limit from 10 to something higher is an easy fix in a future update. I’ll look into your feedback about timer noises at the end. (Also, the Bell icon is for toggling notification delivery for when you are away from the app.)

### 4/5 — Nice but limited

*2023-05-11*

The limit of 10 loops is, well, very limiting. Also, would help if each step could have an optional sound for the end, indicating that that step is ending. Thymed is the best timer app that I know of. Unfortunately, it is no longer being updated. Cue It could be the worthy successor.

Please add the option of setting up to 50 or, even, a 100 loops. This would make possible wider applications.

**Developer response:** EDIT: Update 1.5 now increases the loop limit to 100!

### 5/5 — Great app! Pay once not forever

*2025-06-15*

In a world where every timer app on the market somehow needs us to pay a subscription for life, this app only asks us to pay once. And for that one payment, somehow it manages to deliver exactly the functionality I’m looking for! I’m shocked and amazed.

### 5/5 — Replaced 2 apps

*2024-09-16*

I had a pomodorro productivity app and a HIIT training app.

I deleted those and this app does both.

Thanks for the update. Everything works nicely. One other feature to consider is the option to set a different sound to mark time, within each step. That is, allow users choose to have a sound repeat, every 5, 10, 15, or 30 seconds. Still waiting for this; it is essential for longer steps.

### 5/5 — Great replacement for 30/30

*2023-12-13*

Props to the creator, superior app, THANK YOU!!  I spent many hours yesterday searching for a 30/30 replacement and this was suggested on Reddit.  I have to batch/block to accomplish anything, but I wfh and my start hours vary, so blocking on a set schedule doesn't work for me.  I've floundered since we lost 30/30.  Its appears to do everything that 30/30 did, with a few extras.  I feel ready for 2024.  Well worth the money, PLEASE don't ever remove the app. 🙏

If it could be shared across devices, it would be perfect! (I don't think 30/30 was, and it might not be feasible, but I'm shooting for the moon here. 😁)

### 5/5 — Good for breathing techniques

Thanks for the stock breathing timers

### 5/5 — Brilliant interval timer

*2023-01-07*

Cue It puts other interval timers to absolute shame! Reminiscent of the legendary 30/30 by Binary Hammer (mysteriously vanished long ago), Cue It brings back the simplicity needed for brilliant interval timers, WITHOUT the horrible ad-filled, complicated mess of similar apps. Productivity freaks, fitness fanatics, ADHD sufferers are not the only people who will benefit from this app. It will keep you on track for anything from studying to gaming to cooking to simply getting to work on time!

Sure, it could do with a couple of tweaks, like a rewind button and a widget, but the developer is very active and I’m sure new features will appear soon enough. Needs a tip jar to allow us to support and encourage the developer though!

### 5/5 — An Excellent App — Would Love A Watch App

*2022-11-26*

This app is everything I’m looking for in a routine/interval timer app. & its alarm/cue start reminder feature is truly one of a kind (I’ve looked for it in other interval timer apps & could not find one). 

For now, I’m going to stick with a different interval timer app, solely because it has a fully functioning Watch app. I’m really trying to practice digital minimalism, so I need something that works without my phone. 

That said, my preferences are not a fault of the app, hence the 5-star rating. Kudos to the developer, great work!

**Developer response:** Hi, and thanks for the great review! 

I’ve had others also express interest in an Apple Watch companion app, and I’m strongly looking into it. I might be able to add this for a future update, hopefully one that would be sooner than later.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2021-08-12*

This app honestly does everything thank you so much
