Great timer, wish it had FTO scrambles!

I’ve been a FiveTimer user for like… 8 or 9 years. It’s more than paid for itself by now! I use it literally every day and have no complaints about the app itself. It’s easy to use with a nice UI, and the ability to customize shortcuts makes things even easier. No notes. It would be crazy to change the review from five stars for this alone, so I’m keeping it at 5 and throwing the suggestion in that I’d love if the timer implemented FTO scrambles for the new WCA event.

Great before - but not as much now

Used for years and loved it! Just upgraded to an iPhone 17 and it appears that this application and the screen display are not compatible with each other. There are some bordering issues that I can’t seem to resolve that makes it impossible for me to switch sessions.

almost perfect…

this is a really good cubing app and it is very much worth the money, however the only thing I would really like to change is the layout. As I upgraded to the iPhone 17 pro this year, the setting tools at the top of the screen has been overlapping with the time and battery on my phone… aside from this minor flaw, I love this app very much

Starting to show its age.

This app is great for practicing speed cubing I wish that it showed the expected end result of the scramble sequence to also aid in correct reading of cube move notation. Also it doesn’t work well with newer iPhones with Dynamic Island where the top control bar overlaps the system status bar rendering some functions useless.
