The timer will keep going even if you’re charging it I don’t know. But you have to be on the app. ### 5/5 — Bug should be fixed for sure *2023-01-29* If you start holding the button with one hand and then hold the home button to turn off the device if you go back in the timer will be moving without you holding your finger on the button. And then you just charge the device leave leave it there and it will go on and on until you touch it and take your hand off and then it will count as one of your times! ### 5/5 — Found a hack *2022-11-28* I put a tissue over the palm of my hand then gently tap it on the screen and it should go without you touching it ### 5/5 — Love it *2022-11-27* Best game staying still I can finally stay clam this game is the best. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
