I checked in settings too. Bummer. ### 2/5 — Just Started Using *2020-07-06* I just downloaded this as I am using it for the OPTAVIA 5&1 Plan. Here are a couple things I’ve noticed right off the bat: There is no indication that the timer has started. Since I went looking for something like this after I technically started, I had to use the manual timer. When I set that time to start 30 minutes ago and click the “Start Timers From Time” button, it just takes me back to the main screen that has the big red “Start Timers” button. But that is the button to start from the current time. It’s confusing. Once you start a timer whether it’s the main from the current time or the manual timer, it should indicate that the timers have started and are running and the button should change to “Stop Timers” with a confirmation so timers aren’t accidentally stopped. Also, would be nice to be able to add an interval name from “Interval” to something descriptive like 1st Fueling, Shake, Lunch, etc. and have each alarm description reflect that same label. Will report back once I’ve had more time to use it. **Developer response:** Hi NGoulette! We’ve just released a huge update to the app. It includes more features and an updated UI. We’d added the ability to name individual timers, and hope the update meets any other needs you have! ### 2/5 — It needs the alarm or notification to be turned off *2020-03-15* I have missed so many fueling times because I am busy, get a little notification that I miss...only to realize its been an hour past. If the notification or alarm kept going off until I dismissed or turned it off like an alarm clock that would be a huge but simple improvement ### 1/5 — I’m surprised!! *2019-10-16* I’m doing the 5-1 and the times are set up incorrectly with no possibility to rearrange them!! This app’s settings are actually WRONG and don’t follow the plan!!! How can this be?? Also...what if I’m doing the 4-2-1?!? Not an option for that. **Developer response:** Hi Bobby! We’ve made huge changes to FuelingTimer in the v2.0 update. In the update you now have complete control over timers, the amount of timers and the intervals between them. You can also label each timer and snooze individual ones if needed. We’d appreciate it if you’d give the updated app another go and are sorry for the poor experience with the older version of the app. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2019-08-08* Walked through tutorial which didn’t help at all. Timers don’t allow you to manually set the timer. It’s very odd. ### 3/5 — Works Fine But.. *2019-07-16* The snooze does not adjust future times. If I set my timers for 2 hours and then use snooze to adjust when I can actually eat around my schedule it’s not helpful. ALSO the alarm doesn’t interrupt music or other audio so it’s easy to miss the alarm for the timer if you don’t stare at phone. ### 1/5 — Worst app ever. *2019-05-21, version 1.3* You can’t add anything like medicine timings and it costs .99. Ridiculous for a pay app. I got a better free one! Don’t waste your money. ### 1/5 — Alarms don’t sound *2019-04-09, version 1.2* My alarms don’t go off at all. Shows in notifications when phone is locked for missed notifications. Wish I could fix this! ### 1/5 — Not that good *2019-03-14, version 1.2* I thought this would really help me keep my Fuelings on track but I get better luck just setting my own timers. There is no sound choices or editing timers if you are late on a fueling. Very inflexible. Used it for 2 days and stopped because I actually was missing my Fuelings. ### 2/5 — Good but no sound *2019-03-14, version 1.2* I think the idea behind the alarms is great but I have no alarm sound notification. So it does me no good since I’m not at my phone to look and just see it’s time. I need alarm sound. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not a watch app *2023-11-04, version 2.5.1* This is not a watch app. ### 1/5 — Sound doesn’t work *2021-11-21* Useless if you are not notified. Waste of money. ### 1/5 — New User *2021-03-20* I love everything about this but I never hear my alarm go off and sometimes it doesn’t even go off! It needs to be an ongoing alarm until it is dismissed. Is there a way to do that and I’m missing it?? **Developer response:** Hi! Right now Apple doesn’t allow developers to do more than play a notification. I would absolutely love to be able to play a sound like a ringtone until dismissed, but it’s just not possible with Apples restrictions. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work as expected. Setting is off *2021-01-31* Doesn’t work and not worth the dollar **Developer response:** Hi! Thanks for the feedback, if you have any further suggestions for improvements feel free to email me at fueltimer@gmail.com! I’m a sole developer working on this app, so I’m always open for suggestions on what I can improve, and bugs to fix! ### 1/5 — Want a refund! *2021-01-25, version 2.4* Too easy to trip and re-set fueli ngs as the startr timer button never goes away! ### 1/5 — Terrible App! *2021-01-22, version 2.3* Don’t pay for this. It’s absolutely garbage. Wish I could get my money back. ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money! *2020-11-01, version 2.2* This app doesn’t work!!!!!!! These good reviews must be fake!!!!!! This app doesn’t work!!!!!!!! I’m not kidding!!!!!!!!! DOES. NOT. WORK. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2020-09-29* I just purchased this yesterday I keep setting my fueling times then press start and it changed them! So after 7 attempts yesterday and 3 today I’m over it! I’m very disappointed! Plus I’ve noticed it won’t even make a sound when the timers go off! ### 1/5 — No worth it *2020-09-13* I downloaded this app to tracking fueling timers. It’s horrible you can’t even read the descriptions of each option, it never repeats even when option is chosen , so what’s the point l? ### 1/5 — Go back to before the update!!! *2020-07-18, version 2.1* I loved this app. The update has made it unusable and now I’m deleting. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — App *2020-10-10* The fuel timer app is simply quite enabling to be in that the system of timed, planned meals has always been a struggle for me, but with this system in place, it has brought me to a place of structure and been a major help to me. It is profoundly simple & reliable ### 5/5 — Best fueling timer *2020-08-27* This by far has helped me keeping up with my fueling schedule and it is awesome. I even got an email from the developer himself to fix a problem I had with the app and he heard my concern and addressed it. You will not go wrong with this app ### 5/5 — Love this timer *2020-07-18* Love the updates. Now you can add more timers, more customization of fueling times. Even track things other than meals. Love using this app! ### 5/5 — Great Trackers *2020-07-08* I love this app for how it handles trackers. I use it for the fueling timers in my 5:1 plan, and that part works well. The trackers though I use for tracking both calories and water during my day. The app has a scanning feature that I use a ton for tracking calories. It basically makes it so I can scan whatever food I have and add it to my tracker. ### 5/5 — Great for Optavia *2019-07-22* I just want to clarify- we almost didn’t purchase because of some of the reviews. We are following the Optavia program and this works great to remind you to have your fueling/lean and green. My sister downloaded it first to see how it did. It’s awesome and works perfectly if you follow the dev’s guidelines and reminders. Just wanted to add to the commentary for others who might be wondering. **Developer response:** Hi LisaMD! Thank you very much for the review! We’re very glad its been working for you! ~Developer ### 4/5 — not functioning fully *2021-03-22* The timer works, eventhough it is not very intuitive/logical to program. The scanner does not work nor does the all trackers feature. ### 4/5 — Good, except one thing *2019-03-09, version 1.2* Great app except you need to be able to adjust how loud the timers are. I don’t hear them go off, and I don’t see how to adjust them. ### 3/5 — Bell *2021-05-31* Sometimes I don’t hear the alert ### 3/5 — Not syncing with watch *2019-08-30* This app has been very useful and effective. Unfortunately it is no longer syncing with my Apple Watch. How do I reconnect that? **Developer response:** Hi bryghe! We’ve updated the app for better connectivity with the watch, along with other huge improvements to both features and UI. Thank you for your helpful feedback! ### 3/5 — Holds promise, just needs a few small adjustments. *2019-07-28* The UI is great, but unfortunately it won’t work for me, as I eat in a window. The intervals are hard coded to be five meals every 2 hours, but I do a 18:6 IF schedule, which means I have a special timing to fit everything(for example) between 10:30 and 6:30pm. It would be great to have reminders, but the only setting is for the start time, not number or interval. This would be a great next step! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
