Useless

Filled with ads and subscription requirements. Just use your own timer on the phone, this is a scam.

Good

While I wish the free app had more options (sand colors and dark theme for night use), it's one of the 2 best hourglass apps I could find. It keeps counting while the app is in background or the screen turned off.

Scam ads

Ads are security risk scams, saying there are security risks detected on my device and asking me to install software

Pretty good

Need more of a buzzer sound

Useless

Useless, once you exit the app fully and kill it, the timer resets. Excuse you? So i have to keep the app running in the background for hours?? Also, maybe make it go after the 90 minutes mark. If there was an option to give 0 stars i would do it with a heartbeat
