Also check do not disturb on your phone. ### 3/5 — Didn’t want to review yet but email option didn’t work. *2020-01-11* I couldn’t get this to work in the background, i.e, to be able to hear it while listening to music or podcasts at the same time. Does the app allow for that? Thanks. I’ve been looking for an app that can do that do that for a while. **Developer response:** Hi, thank you! Yeah, this is possible, please ensure your phone is not muted and do not disturb is off. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — The amount of ads is actually disgusting *2024-04-10, version 2.3.1* I think this is a brilliant concept for an app, but if you don’t want to pay monthly you can do basically nothing in the app. The only thing you can do without payment is watching a ridiculous amount of ads. ### 1/5 — They just changed it ! *2022-04-19* I bought it originally and now they have made it subscription. Absolutely stupid **Developer response:** Hey if you purchased the original Pro upgrade then you have lifetime access to all features! Just tap Restore Purchase. ### 1/5 — Useless *2021-09-10* Useless **Developer response:** Thanks for the thoughtful and detailed review! ### 1/5 — Ads *2021-03-20* Purchased the ad free version and I still see ads 🥴 **Developer response:** Hi, this sounds like a bug, sorry to hear you are still seeing ads. Please email me from within the app for support or a refund. ### 3/5 — ロック画面表示について *2026-05-16, version 2.7.1* タイマーと今何をやっているかの表題をロック画面にも表示できるようにして欲しい。 ### 3/5 — apple watch上で4セット以上のセット数を指定できない *2025-05-12, version 2.4.1* apple watch上で4セット以上のセット数を指定できない ### 3/5 — Siri ショートカットで起動できない *2024-03-24, version 2.3.1* エラーが発生と出てできません ### 3/5 — 少しだけ改善してくれたら最高 *2022-01-31, version 1.5* 使いやすいんだけど、タスクをいくつか保存出来るようにしてほしいのと、 60分以上も分で対応出来る様にして欲しい。何かを作る時に、100分焼いて20分寝かせたいとかって言う時に「えーっと…100分は1時間と40分…」とか少し考える。 ### 3/5 — This is a great timer but... *2021-03-30* This is a really great timer. Like previous reviewers, I'm frustrated that I cannot save multiple timers for different workouts. I would gladly give this a 5 star rating if I could. Please consider this. Thank you! **Developer response:** Thanks for the review. You can now save multiple timers (and also configure them with multiple intervals). ### 3/5 — Needs just a vibrating alert *2021-03-01* This is perfect for my needs, except that I need it to only vibrate and not make any sound. Wish I hadn’t upgraded until I tested this. I’ll use it at home, but please consider adding vibration only notifications. **Developer response:** Hi there is an option for “None” in the Alert Sound picker, this will still fire a notification but with no sound. ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 建议 *2024-08-23* 简单好用，基本没问题，但能不能增加多间隔的功能啊，有时候一个循环不止两组，其他地方都挺满意的。 **Developer response:** 感谢您的评价！我们现在已经增加了多间隔功能，请下载更新试试看。 ### 5/5 — I use this for meditation. *2023-10-04, version 2.3* Thank you for providing this free app which I use everyday. ### 5/5 — Work *2021-02-18* Adewunmi ### 5/5 — Great App with Obvious Missing Feature *2020-03-19* This app provides a great deal of customization for a complex repeating timer. The only disappointment is that I can’t have more than one timer saved. **Developer response:** Hey good news, multiple timers are now supported! Also, multiple intervals in a timer is also now supported. ### 5/5 — Functional and simple *2020-01-30, version 1.2* Finally an interval app that just does what it says with a simple and useful interface. Please add the option to save different intervals that I have customized and named! ### 5/5 — Interval Timer *2020-01-25* The app does exactly what it says. Works great. Had an issue with the watch version and it was answered within an hour of my asking. Great customer service!! ### 5/5 — Does the job well *2019-07-01* Simple to use timer. Easy to configure but could do with more sound options and the timer screen is a little plain. ### 4/5 — Nice app. I wish notifications were more useful *2021-10-05* I use this app to remind myself to stand up and walk around for 5 minutes, for every 25 minutes worked, repeated 17 times (the duration of a work day). My only complaint is that the Lock Screen notifications are confusing. It’s not really important to me to see what set I am on (11 of 17, for example), or what I’ve named the timer. All I really need to see in the notifications is simply, “Stand up” and “Get back to work.” Actually, all I really need is the sounds, but turning off Lock Screen notifications seems to turn off the sounds too (unless I’m missing something). Otherwise, great, single-purpose app. ### 4/5 — Love the App but some issues *2020-03-31* Hi I just purchased this timer interval app and love it. On the phone it is working great with sound and everything. However it is not syncing with my watch and when I restored the purchases that isn’t connecting to my watch as well. This makes it so I cannot make intervals on my watch with more than 3 sets, etc. I was wondering how to fix that.
