User reviews

Excellent

Would agree that it needs to have an option to keep screen active in settings. That is not currently an option in settings, I’ve searched thoroughly. In every other way, it is everything I could want and need- and no ads! Huge thanks to the dev

Response from developer

My apologies -- you are correct! I have a fix for this coming in version 1.0.3. Be sure to look out for an update in the next few days.

Additional features needed

I just started using the app and like to use it to time my slow eating 4 year old, but my times out. There should be an option to keep the screen lit while the app is in use so that you can see the timer for its duration.

Response from developer

Thank you for the feedback! There is an option in settings to keep the screen awake while running. Could you provide more details about which device and ios version you are running? I am not able to reproduce this on my iphone or ipad. If this is confirmed to be a bug, I will get a fix out as soon as possible. EDIT: My apologies -- you are correct! I have a fix for this coming in version 1.0.3. Be sure to look out for an update in the next few days.
