Como utilizo esse app principalmente em contexto escolar, suspenderei o uso por enquanto. Espero que esse problema seja corrigido pois é um ótimo recurso para ter em sala de aula com crianças. E este é um bom app, contudo precisa ter mais atenção no momento da peneira dos anunciantes. ### 4/5 — Love the Look and Simplicity *2026-03-24, version 2.4* I would have given it 5 stars if it had a function for controlling the volume of the alarm and the background music. Looks like you can only set each one to SILENT or default to full volume. The audio is unusable for me at full volume, so I’ve set both to SILENT. ### 4/5 — прекрассна *2026-03-14* все хорошо но в ночале было сложрол ражобраца ### 3/5 — 🤩⭐️🤍 *2026-02-26, version 3.4* Mükemmelll ### 4/5 — シンプルで使いやすい *2026-01-21, version 2.4* 列車の音の繋ぎ目が不自然なのが少し残念。 ### 5/5 — great *2026-01-10, version 2.4* great!! ### 5/5 — Avis favorable *2026-01-06, version 3.1* Bon pour Medecine ### 5/5 — gooood\ *2025-12-30, version 2.4* best app\ ### 5/5 — Super application *2025-12-29, version 3.1* Franchement j’adore🤩 C’est super, ça m’aide vraiment à me concentrer, les petits bruits apaisants en fond ça ultra cool.

Tried to find a way to change this. After 5 minutes of playing around with it, I deleted. It shouldn’t be this hard to create a simple timer app and have it not be distracting. ### 1/5 — No *2026-05-12, version 3.5* ABSOLUTE TRASH OF AN APP, DO NOT RECOMMEND! ### 1/5 — Это не таймер *2026-02-20* Нет возможности установить время таймера!
