Excellent app but doesn’t work on iOS 16.2

Please update this to work on the latest iPhone update. It no longer works on iOS 16.2 and higher. Please update. Also add faster access to the Total time function. It’s cumbersome to have to go deep into settings every time we have to change the total time.

Does as advertised

I looked at several apps similar to this, but liked the option to have a master/clone feature, where I could control my iPad from my iPhone remotely with the timer. This works great, although I had to pay the extra $5.99 for the feature. Still, it was exactly what I needed and worth the payment. I am surprised that there has not been an update for quite some time, but it works well.

Great app ruined by update

Update to Review:

App was great - but latest update has ruined.

1) App crashes/closes after going over time at 21 mins
2) Warning Phase time only flashes Red - speakers can see they are over time - but there is no option to make the color white - after selecting white in Warning Phase settings, it automatically reverts to red
3) When selecting 12 hour civilian time - time is still displayed without a 12 in front to indicate 12 am, other am times do appear with number in front.

Please help fix what used to be an amazing app.

Thank you.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with our app.

Very useful app

We used this app to communicate with the moderator during a live event. It did everything we needed from it and it was very easy and intuitive to use. It also has lots of great features (e.g. different coloured text for different parts of the countdown) and handy options. Highly recommended!

Not compatable

I also had used this app a couple years ago, and it worked great! But I got a new phone and downloaded the new "pro" version for $4.99 or whatever it costs, but it won't connect to the old version of the program on my iPad 2. So I tried to download an old version of the app, onto my phone but can't... this is awful. This was my favorite timer app, and now I can't use it at all!

Response from developer

The "new" app Podium Timer Pro, published in 2014, requires Bluetooth LE for connectivity. It is a Universal app and users only have to buy PTP once and use it on all their compatible devices (under the same Apple ID). Unfortunately, the original iPad and the iPad 2 do not have that capability and are NOT listed in the devices that are compatible with PTP (by Apple). And nowhere did we ever say or imply that an entirely new PTP would work with any older version of our similarly-named programs whether for the iPhone or iPad. In fact, the older iPhone app was removed the store the day PTP was introduced.
