### 5/5 — 育児に助かってます

*2026-04-23*

時間感覚の乏しい子どもにも残り時間が明確に伝えられるので、
宿題やお片付け、日々のタスクで活用！

これがあれば、「もう〇〇やろう！あと何分だよ！やんなくていいの？！早く終わらせよ」と親が口出しするのから
→「自分からやる、タイマー見て終わらせようと頑張る」にシフトできます。

大いに役立ってます⭐︎

### 1/5 — Sem som no iPhone

*2026-03-20*

No Android, funcionava que era uma beleza. No Android, não tem som 🥲

### 5/5 — りんごを食べるASMR

*2026-03-16*

りんごを食べる音がASMR見たいだしリアルな音がしています。タイマーより良いと思います。（普通のタイマーより）

### 5/5 — 安心する

*2026-02-26*

例えば私が作業をしているときに普通のタイマーだと、
「あと5分しかないの？どうせまにあわないしやめよぉ」
となるんですが、このタイマーだとリンゴがたくさんあるので
「あと5分だけどまだまだりんごある！じゃあもうちょっと頑張ろう！」
となっているのに気がついてびっくりしました。
時間が早く感じる人におすすめしたいです。

### 4/5 — 時間を自由に設定できれば…

*2026-01-05, version 1.2.2*

現状、60分を超える時間を図ることができず、13分など細かい時間も設定できないため、それができるようになったら非常に嬉しいです。

### 5/5 — Excelente

*2025-12-16*

Muito bom, recomendo para todos.  Para funcionar o som apenas temos que tirar do silencioso.

### 4/5 — めっちゃいいんだけど惜しい

*2025-12-13, version 1.2.2*

ネズミも可愛いしめっちゃタイマーとしてめっちゃ使えるから勉強がしたくなる‼️
けど1時間までしかないのが惜しい！もっと2時間とかあってもいいんじゃないかなと思います！！それ以外は最高👍

### 5/5 — 受験勉強で使ってます

*2025-12-03, version 1.2.2*

使いやすくておすすめです！
50分とかめちゃ欲しいです。。。

### 4/5 — الصوت

*2025-12-03, version 1.2.2*

لو بيصدر تنبية صوتي عند انتهاء الدقائق لكان أفضل

### 5/5 — 時間追加とアイコン変えられたら嬉しいのに

*2025-12-03*

自分で時間を設定できるようになったら嬉しい！！
あと白いネズミにしてるので、アイコンも白い子にできたらいいな
