Best Ingress timer for iOS I've found. 5 stars! --- This is a great app, though it currently has an issue where it doesn't switch back to ingress. It used to do this and is great when it does. Likely needs an update. 3 stars ### 5/5 — Good, but *2016-06-04* Thank you for fixing the Ingress button. ### 5/5 — Slightly broken with Ingress 1.98.1 *2016-04-22* The button to launch Ingress no longer works after upgrading to Ingress 1.98.1 ### 4/5 — Good app, needs update *2016-02-15* Here is an excellent portal timer with a helpful widget for using the timer without the app open. Has pre sets for common hack intervals and also the ability to load heat sinks on to time a portal with hack mods and make maximum use of the mods. Would love it if they updated the images of the heatsink as what is shown is a pretty old image. Doesn't affect the app use though. Also would have paid to remove ads along time ago but the option to remove adds has disappeared for unclear reasons. ### 1/5 — Widget in Today does not work in iOS 9 *2015-09-18* This has been a great app, however in iOS 9 the countdown display in the Today widget stopped working on my iPhone 5s. ### 3/5 — Getting there *2015-04-20* It would be nice if the timer could be reset without taking me into this app. Would also like to see the addition of counters for numbers of hacks and possibly an additional timer for portal burnout. I would like to see the heat sink selection changed from its current state to a tap to select process that more easily cycles through the options. ### 4/5 — Works as advertised. *2015-03-25* Simple to use timer. Note to dev. Misspelling on notification. Says "potal cool down." Otherwise no other issues. ### 4/5 — Finally! *2015-01-29* It's about time someone released a widget for this game. The only thing I have on my wish list is that it didn't open itself whenever you reset the timer; minus 1 star. If paying the $1 removes ads and fixes the annoying app switching, I'd pay for it twice. The ads aren't too annoying and only come around every 5 (or so) resets, so not really worth the dollar, in my opinion. Otherwise, the interface is clean, Ingress-like and functional. Job well-done! ### 4/5 — Simple and efficient *2014-11-24* Nice app very useful and efficient, but maybe after paid $0.99 the widget could reset without open the app. ## Frequently asked questions about PortalTimer for Ingress ### What is PortalTimer for Ingress?
