### 1/5 — The timer doesn’t work unless you stay on the app

*2025-05-12*

I use using this to set a timer for my meds. Then for a few hours I did house work and some free time. The timer never went off sand said that it had only been 37 seconds. I realized that the timer doesn’t work unless you stay on the app, which makes using any other use of your phone important

### 4/5 — Great but not perfect

*2025-05-10*

I use this app for developing film, which it’s wonderful for. The only thing I would recommend to better is making the play and stop buttons way bigger. When wearing medical gloves, I always hit outside the timer and have to stop the particular timer on a different screen and then go back to start the new timer which time is critical when developing film.

### 4/5 — Pretty good

*2022-04-20*

I wish deleting timers were possible from the same screen that timers are added from.

### 4/5 — Decent!

*2020-12-29*

It’s simple and basically does what it’s supposed to. One small issue is that all timers are locked to tick together on the second, even if you start one eg. 500ms after the system clock ticks another second. Millisecond precision would make this really good!

### 4/5 — I like it

*2020-02-05*

I haven’t used it in the lab yet but I know it’s going to make doing multiple tests simultaneously easier than doing so with those prone-to-failure (and strangely expensive) three-channel plastic timers. Thank you! 
If I may make a suggestion: the ability to set a warning tone at a selectable time before the count down ends would make this a five-star app for me. Some of the tests I do require action as soon as the timer ends so my test will be compromised if I’m working on something on the other side of the lab when the timer sounds.

### 4/5 — Does The Right Things

*2017-04-20*

The phone version does the right things; I was happy to find one simple to use with multiple synchronous timers (which I need, as an analytical chemist); the beeping sound is hard to ignore (which is both good and bad); I hardly use this app, however, because my new Apple Watch doesn't make a sound or vibrate with it, causing possible catastrophes with boiling solutions, vacuum filtration systems, etc. I'm worried about acid or organic solvents getting on my phone, so I only use my watch in the lab (watch has one-touch system but only one timer.) I'm still searching for a timer that's better, that I can use on the watch, that will alert me, even after device has gone to "sleep."

### 5/5 — Excellent Multiple Timer App

*2015-11-16*

I use this app to run through my panel of aquarium water tests. It's easy to set up the timers. I like the timer counts elapsed time after the timer ends.

### 5/5 — Cool

*2015-09-07*

I like it. Very useful...

### 5/5 — Very useful app

*2014-08-08*

Excellent timer for lab work. Easy to use.

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2014-04-02*

So simple but so useful.  This is what I was looking for!
