For example, when running a timer or similar action via a shortcut, the Live Activity does not appear. You must actually open the Loop app for the Live Activity to work. In other apps that use Live Activities, when I run a shortcut via automation, the Live Activity appears automatically without having to open the app. Please fix this bug. Other than that, it works well ### 4/5 — Finally a persistent timer app that syncs and record data for a perfect pomodoro *2026-07-24, version 7.4* I really like it, presets offer a lot of customizations. The only improvement I would say is to add an option to sync either to “workout” or “mindfulness” for better categorization, and give a name to the session instead of just “Other”. ### 3/5 — Agree it looks great, but… *2025-10-21, version 6.1* It produces a faint but unpleasant clicking sound after the first alert. I would also like to be able to click and drag the timer forward and back. The next/previous timer buttons should also be shown, rather than hidden, in my opinion. It could be a great app, but need a few tweaks please! ### 3/5 — Nice design, but a user cannot edit the loops! *2025-03-18, version 5.9* I give congrats to the developer, I think this application has a nice design, user interface in general terms, I like that I can choose the colors and the sounds. Nevertheless, a big drawback is that the user cannot seem to edit the existing loops. Please fix that and way more people will start using this. ### 3/5 — Looks promising, but … *2025-03-08, version 5.9* I’m slightly surprised that this has got into the App Store in its current state. Menus to select timers are truncated so as to be unreadable - which just makes the app seem unfinished, and pretty much impossible to use. And the app makes an irritating chiming sound for no apparent reason while trying to set up a timer. ### 3/5 — Free version is sad. *2025-01-15* You have to pay just to get basic features. **Developer response:** Hi there, I can understand your frustration. What you may not know is that developing and maintaining Loop was years of work. I know that we live in a world where people assume that everything online should be free. As a compromise, I decided not to introduce a subscription to Loop. I hope that you can understand my point of view. Have fun using the app! ### 4/5 — App animation is really well made; transition really smooth *2024-12-09, version 5.2* But ultimately it doesn't have batch timer so not really for my usage case. And for an app that advertise itself as interval based I found the UX not as easy to use I tried to maybe chain multiple timers but not sure if this app can get it work out (unfort because there's another app on the store that does exactly this and it's much more intuitive). What this app has over other apps is the nifty animation and sound design... But functionality wise it needs work... ### 5/5 — The best I really recommend it over all other apps *2024-12-02, version 4.3* A fantastic app. Thanks a lot guys. ### 5/5 — Gelungener Timer *2024-11-27, version 4.3* Die App ist sehr intuitiv zu bedienen, einfach und hat ein schönes Layout. ### 5/5 — Version 4 adds new features, refines old ones *2024-10-26* I’m happy to report that the latest version of Loop has fixed the issues I encountered with text input breaking the Mac app. The feature can now be toggled from the settings UI, and it now works normally across my devices. (Previously, I had to disable syncing temporarily and manually edit the preferences file to turn this off.) The addition of categories for sorting presets is nice, and it could seal the deal for users of other apps with a similar feature who were holding off on trying Loop. ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2024-10-16* Easy to use with an attractive UI. I wouldn't mind a duplicate option for the intervals. **Developer response:** Hi, thanks for your feedback. Good suggestion, cycles for specific intervals is planned for a future update. I’ll let you know when it’s ready. Have fun using the app! ### 5/5 — Great on iOS, but currently broken on macOS *2024-10-14* Loop recently prompted me to try a "natural text input" mode on my Mac that makes it possible to quickly create timers by typing. I decided to try the feature and enabled it, only to discover that I can't type anything anywhere and there's no way to turn the feature back off. The app still works well on my phone, but the desktop app is now stuck in this unusable state. Shouldn't there be a toggle for this new feature in the settings so that enabling it isn't permanent? **Developer response:** Hi there, I’m sorry that this happened to you. This bug should be fixed in the latest version. If not, please write me an email. You can also disable the feature in Settings -> General. ### 4/5 — Version 3.14.1: good timer app + how to make it better *2024-10-06* NOTE: This review is about the paid version. PROS: Looks beautiful, as if it was made by Apple. Lots of sound options for each timer’s start, finish, interval, and reset - including the option to have no sound. When there are multiple timers, you can tap on the timer’s circle to highlight the timer’s data on the left-side, and vice versa. You can set any timer to infinity cycles, so that it only stops when you end it. The iOS app can sync with the Mac app using iCloud, so that each app always has the same timers. The paid version is a one-off payment, instead of a subscription model (which I avoid like the plague). The paid version is absolutely worth it - plenty of options for each timer: sounds, icons, colours. Make each timer look and act how you want. Support for dark mode, which is easier on the eyes. Works in landscape mode and portrait mode. The developer responds to reviews. Regular updates to squash bugs and improve the app. HOW TO MAKE IT BETTER: Give “Skip Interval” and “Reset Timer” their own buttons, so we can just tap on it instead of having to tap the “>>” icon and tap a second button. Under the “Presets” tab, change the buttons from circles to rectangles with rounded-corners that take up all the horizontal space in the tab - that way they're bigger, and easier to push. Under the Active tab, make the buttons bigger, so that they're easier to push. Add red as a colour option. Offer a trial-version so that we can try all the options of the paid-app before paying for it. CONCLUSION: A good app, with some room for improvement - 4 stars. **Developer response:** Hi, thanks for your suggestions. I am currently developing a new way to view and interact with timers, which includes a lot of your suggestions.

That is obviously subjective but what really triggered me was the fact that the app is not upfront that it is an exclusive paid app. On the free version there’s negative functionality. Instead of being allowed to run a loop for maybe 5-10 times for free they let it run just once. Thats just a normal timer right? Not a loop timer. Well no- a normal timer tells you how many seconds or minutes you have left. They hid the one timer behind a paywall. Wouldn’t recommend this to anyone. People do owe developers for their time and their projects but this is just incredibly ill conceived. ### 1/5 — "Loop Has Been Terminated" *2025-10-28* I'm glad I didn't pay for it. **Developer response:** Hi there, thanks for your message. This really should not happen. Could you send an email with your device model and iOS version? I will take a closer look and I’m sure that we will find a solution together. ### 1/5 — Not accurate at all *2025-03-11, version 5.10.2* Every loop delay two seconds ### 1/5 — OK *2024-12-13* 首次使用，回头评价。 **Developer response:** Hi there, could you please tell me more about your experience? Write me an email to tell me what can be improved. Thanks. ### 1/5 — cannot open *2024-12-12, version 5.2.2* i can’t open the app after upgraded or opened iCloud ### 1/5 — Timer gestoppt sobald die App im Hintergrund läuft? *2022-11-29, version 1.7.1* Was hilft mir die Timer-App die IMMER im Vordergrund laufen muss, damit die Timer aktiv sind? Timer > 10 min - ohne das man auch mal in eine andere App schaut? Sinnfrei App - solange die Funktion so gestaltet ist! ### 1/5 — 気付けない *2022-10-02, version 1.7.1* アラームが通知時に１度だけしか鳴らないので、集中していたり手放していると、タイムアップ自体に気付けないので、タイマーの本来機能を実装できていない。 標準時計のように止めるまでアラームを鳴らし続ける機能が必要である。 UIは好みである。 The alarm only rings once at the time of notification, so if you concentrate or let go, you won't notice the time-up itself, so you can't implement the original function of the timer. You need the ability to keep the alarm until it is turned off like a standard clock. I like the UI. ### 1/5 — Far away from intuitive *2022-07-25, version 1.7* Too many options, settings, not looping by default (despite what is says on the tin). Not user friendly, bad customer experience- graphic design way over done for a something that should be a simple countdown. Confusing. ### 2/5 — Not what I wanted *2026-06-14* I wanted an interval timer. It isn’t that. It is just a timer just like the native clock app. Not worth the time or any money at all. ### 2/5 — terrible programming *2026-02-23* sure you can program a series of rounds of different times for "move/rest" intervals BUT they all look the same when playing - the name of the interval doesn't show and you can't change the color like green for MOVE and red for REST or whatever you like for that. Also to change from a strange AI voice nonsensical sentence for the "default sound" you need to go to the paid version - noone would ever use the free version. Also if you want to change the name of the preset - only paid version - that is ok but let's have a free trial to test this out before going to the paid version ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Version 7.4: great timer app + how to make it better *2026-08-09, version 7.4* NOTE: This review is about the paid version. PROS: Looks beautiful, as if it was made by Apple. Lots of sound options for each timer’s start, finish, interval, and reset - including the option to have no sound. When there are multiple timers, you can tap on the timer’s circle to highlight the timer’s data on the left-side, and vice versa.

Make each timer look and act how you want. Support for dark mode, which is easier on the eyes. Works in landscape mode and portrait mode. The developer responds to reviews - for example, a bug mentioned in a previous version was squashed. Regular updates to squash bugs and improve the app. HOW TO MAKE IT BETTER: Why is there a “Forward” button and a “Rewind” button? Don’t they both restart the timer? Just have “Restart.” Make all the buttons visible so that we can just tap on them instead of having to tap “...” and then tap a second button. Change the buttons from circles to rectangles with rounded-corners - that way they're bigger and easier to push. Add red as a colour option. Offer a trial-version so that we can try all the options of the paid-app before paying for it. CONCLUSION: A great app, with a little room for improvement - 5 stars. ### 5/5 — Clean looks + clever functionality *2026-03-25, version 7.3.1* Great app which accomplishes a lot with a little. It’s getting better with each update thanks to the developers continuing to take on feedback and improve the app. ### 5/5 — amazing app, one small suggestion *2025-12-25* one time payment, simple, easy to understand. you can make your own timer. it works perfectly for me but the only thing is that i wish there was a warning beep at around 5 seconds, sometimes its a bit jarring to switch from one exercise to another but i wont let this drop the score ### 5/5 — Великолепный таймер! *2025-12-10* Но в режиме loop очень не хватает отображения числа прошедших повторов Please add count of loops after start loop mode timer ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2025-10-17* Best app I’ve found in a while. I’ve been looking for a routine timer app: with a one-time purchase option, Apple Watch Support, and Live Activities. So the extras like natural language input, the cool advanced timer screen, and customization options go bananas. So, I’m thrilled. Great work! I would love to see a more refined home interface, maybe a list option instead of the orbs and their containers? That would be awesome. Anyway, top-tier app. ### 5/5 — Perfect simple timer *2025-10-09* Perfect simple visual timer for my needs. One can see the time elapse over the circle. It's also easy to add any timer you need to or modify presets. ### 5/5 — Schön anzusehen, funktioniert prima *2025-06-15, version 5.13* Ich mag schlichtes, elegantes Design und intuitive Nutzerführung. Daher hat Loop bei mir sofort gewonnen. Mit Kurzbefehlen lassen sich auch häufig genutzte Voreinstellungen auf dem Homescreen ablegen. Die Erstellung könnte meines Erachtens etwas einfacher gestaltet werden, da für einen Shortcut zu einer Voreinstellung ein „Preset Identifier“ benötigt wird, der in der App aber nirgends zu finden ist. Am einfachsten ist es aktuell einen Siri-Sprachbefehl zu erstellen und diesen dann als Verknüpfung auf dem Homescreen abzulegen ### 5/5 — Einfach und durchdacht *2025-04-07, version 5.10.4* Ich suchte einen Timer für Aktivität/Pause Intervalle. Für Sport und Arbeit (Pomodoro), Loop tut das auf einfache und durchdachte Weise. Einige Funktionen, die ich anfangs für nicht nötig hielt, tun jetzt das, was ich brauche. Z.B. iCloud Synch. "Was soll ich damit“, dachte ich anfangs und weiß jetzt, dass die Arbeitsphase am Mac begleitet werden will und die Pausenphase nahtlos am iPhone. Großartig! ### 5/5 — Pay once model, I love it *2025-01-16* To the sad person who left a 3 star review complaining about a paid version, I want to ask you, do you like getting paid for your work or do you work for free? The free version of this app works great, there’s a very cheap pay once upgrade that it was worth it for me. I hate subscriptions but I always try to purchase the pay once upgrade from apps I like. ### 5/5 — Good!!!! *2024-12-10, version 5.2.1* 理想的なアプリをありがとうございます。Apple Watchとの連携も素晴らしく、ほとんど満足しています。一つだけ、Apple Watchのホーム画面の表示を変更できるようにしたいです。現状だと、クイックタイマーとスピーカーボリュームが一番上に来てますが、この位置を下の方にしたいです。なぜならこの機能はあまり使わないからです。検討お願いします。 Thank you for the ideal app, it works great with the Apple Watch and I am mostly satisfied. One thing I would like to be able to change is the display of the Apple Watch home screen. Currently, the quick timer and speaker volume are at the top, but I would like to move this position to the bottom.Because I don't use this feature very often. And if there is room, it would be great if you could add the ability to see the timer countdown in the widget function on the iPhone.😊 Please consider. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
