Sound issue
Great visibility, but setting the time makes sound although system sound is fully turned down. Would like to set time without any sound.
Great simple app for meetings
Great for running training sessions and helps me stick to time. Would be even better if I could start the timer on my iPhone or iPad from my Apple Watch. Sometimes the phone is on a table away from where I’m standing. When running on an iPad you can read it clearly from the far end of big rooms.
Best timer on mobile and desktop
Simple and easy to use. Some advanced features would be nice, however it serves it's purpose and lives up to its name of being minimalistic.
Fonts broken on my iPhone SE
On my iPhone SE the font doesn’t seem to work. Also sometimes two countdowns seem to be layered above each other. I tried to fix the issue by deleting and reinstalling the app, but no luck.
Sounds
If I paid for an app I'd expect some selection different but this only has the default bell sound. Additionally the volume is so low even when paired to a Bluetooth speaker it is not loud at all.
Só falta um detalhe
O programa é excelente, cumpre muito bem sua função. Só falta ter disponível opção para personalizar o texto na tela quando o tempo acaba e também as cores.
Great app
Best App eher!!

Hi there, issue fixed. Best
Update crashes on launch
I LOVED this app, but the new update crashes on launch, on an iPad 2 running iOS 9.
Update: after a couple times deleting and reinstalling the app, it’s back to the timer I love! Just wish it went longer than 99 mins.

Sorry for the issue, app works fine on all devices we tested. Will check and update as soon as possible. Hope this will also improve your rating. Bad review can ruin months of hard work, something most people don´t think about when posting complaints. Best
iOS 11
I really like your timer very much and want to use it, but after updating to iOS 11 I can’t do that. Please, make it work with the new iOS.
Best timer yet!
Exactly what I was looking for! I spent over 15 mins searching for a good timer to alert a speaker when he is about to go over his talk/part at the Kingdom Hall. The numbers are HUGE, and the best part is the giant red screen saying "time's up." Thank you for an awesome app that I will use on a regular basis.

Thank you! Glad you find the timer valuable. Best
Half perfect
It is too bad... there is a lack of 2 key functions:
- No "clock" mode = too bad. Clocks are some times also used as implicit timers when a deadline time is given in a meeting
- worst thing: when you switch apps for 2 seconds and come back to it, count down has stopped and all goes back to setting timing which is making the app almost unusable on the long run (or makes your phone unusable for the time of timer)
The rest of it makes it a perfect app...

Thanks for your feedback. Switch bug is now fixed in version 2.0. As for the clock, this timer is intended to use as a display to keep the speaker / event on track. Not something running in the background.
Not minimalist
The purchase display made it look like you could have a minute count without the distracting seconds count. But I can see no way to set this up. The last thing I want while giving a presentation is to have the seconds count flying by!
Response from developer
Thanks for the feedback. We included the feature in version 2.0. For a less "intrusive" timer, please check our Nano timer. Please consider improving your rating, it would help us develop timer further. Best
Klasse
Habe die App bei einer Tagung als Time keeping system benutzt. Super einfach! Die beste die ich finden konnte!
Response from developer
Thank you. Best
Simple and useful
Excellent App, simple and useful!
What you Would expect...
In the Most Simple and Nice Way Perfect!
Не доработано.
Выглядит супер, но при переключении на другие приложения — таймер сбрасывается.
Love this app!!!
I am a preacher and speaker. I have used every countdown timer app in the store for keeping my sermons and speeches on track. Minimalistic Countdown Timer is by far the BEST!!! It is easy to use, big display for easy viewing and a bright red background when it's time to stop talking. I also use this app in meetings to keep them on track.

Good start, but work still needed
I’ve tested dozens of timer apps for use in professional tradeshow and conference settings, and this one is better than most. But work still needs to be done before it’s good enough to use in the field:
1. A 3-second start-up splash screen with the app’s title and logo. Really?
2. No support for switching from landscape to portrait. Half of the app ONLY runs in landscape and the other half ONLY runs in portrait. Really?
3. There MUST be an option to have the app start counting UP when the timer is done -- rather than just resetting or displaying a “time’s up” message. Speakers must be able to see how far they’re going over time -- so the count-up upon timeout feature is critical.
