### 4/5 — 使っています！

I’m sorry

### 5/5 — I appreciate not burning stuff in the oven.  Thanks!!!

*2025-05-10, version 1.4.0*

Oven

### 4/5 — 使いやすい

*2025-02-24, version 1.4.0*

設定簡単で使いやすい

### 3/5 — 広告が鬱陶しい

*2024-11-11, version 1.4.0*

使い勝手は良いが 使用中に卑猥な画像の広告が表示される。タイマーストップ後は広告表示を消せるまで随分待たされるなどとにかく気分が悪い。収入が必要なのは理解できるが表示される広告はコントロールされるべきだ。

### 5/5 — Nice app

*2024-03-13, version 1.2.0*

This app is easy to use and works great.  I recommend this to anyone who wants a nice easy way to have a nice countdown timer.

### 5/5 — まんまキッチンタイマー、探してました！

*2024-01-26, version 1.2.0*

料理に使っているキッチンタイマー、携帯にも欲しい…と思っていました。iPhoneのタイマーや高機能のタイマーは、設定を変えないといけなかったり、ボタンが多く、立ち上げてから使用まで少し頭を使うのがストレスでした。
立ち上げさえすれば何も考えずにボタンを連打でノーストレス、キッチンタイマー現物と同じ感覚で使えます。デザインや色も可愛くて好印象です！
1回使用毎に出る広告動画はかなりストレスなのですぐ課金しましたが大満足です！ありがとうございます！

### 5/5 — Agreeable

*2024-01-21*

Data input is awkward - essentially scrolling sequentially to set the time, as opposed simply entering in the numbers directly into a digital clock interface.

Choosing the alarm tone is preferable, either through included tones or through iTunes songs & ringtones.

Like the choice of color!
