Good app

This app is amazingly cool but the only feature it lacks it the ability to go into seconds

💀

Fun

Almost Perfect…

I love the visual simplicity, almost peaceful, which is crazy for a timer, IMO. The only issue is that I find it a bit misleading, at least to the way I see time and timers. If I see a big 2, I read it as having 2+ mins, not 1+ mins (especially looking at it from a distance).

The fact that it jumps from showing a big 2 when the small counter below is at 1:01, to a big 1 only for a second at 1:00, then immediately at 0:59 it switches to showing the seconds countdown in big numbers, kind of confirms that it’s a bit odd.

I think for a countdown timer, it would be more practical to show the whole mins left as the big number with the small counter staying the same (mm:ss). At this point I’m sure many users are used to it so it would probably work best as an option in settings. Don’t want to mess with ppl’s times and flows.
