Not updated in years

I really liked my Minu Timer. But now when I open it, I get a warning that it may slow down my iPhone because it hasn't been updated by the developer. I paid for the premium version, too. Disappointed.

Great

What a concept , count down and count up at the same time. Love this timer, my new tea timer.
Would love to see some ring tone options. Perhaps down the road. Great timer. Thanks
