## What is R?

R-Timer is a timer that plays the sound of a gong - designed for sports matches such as boxing.
The sound of a gong is played at the beginning and end of a round.
You can also make some wooden clappers make a sound just before the end of a round.

New functionality has been added for providing notifications while the app or OS is in suspend mode.
Enable the notification functionality to receive notifications through messages and gong sounds.
The notification functionality settings can be found under the settings screen.


Notification Functionality in Suspend Mode
- The volume of the notifications is determined by the OS settings.
- Putting the app in suspend mode and active mode repeatedly will make the end time slip.
- Notification sounds may not be played successfully on low specification devices.
- The number of configurable notifications is determined by the OS. Setting too many notifications will cause the notification functionality to stop working.
- The app may behave differently between running in normal mode and in notification mode.
- To stop notifications, please stop the app or open the app's settings screen.
