Works as intended

Developer is also responsive to feedback and issues.

Great App

I use this app for multiple purposes each day. Sometimes for exercise and other times for taking a break or overcoming procrastination. It has a simple user interface and works even when the phone goes to sleep. The developer is responsive when updates are needed as well.

Board game lifesaver!

This app is a fantastic solution — simple and streamlined but totally customizable for every feature that matters. I have a discontinued board game that relies on a random countdown timer, which eventually broke, but this app serves the purpose perfectly. We loved the countdown sounds and the ability to hide the time. Five stars for sure!

Response from developer

Thanks Horde! I actually built this app to play Catch Phrase with my family :)

Works very simply - but strange battery usage

Today, I didn’t use this app at all. Yet, when I checked battery usage at end of day, it consumed most of my battery through the day, dropping my phone down to 40% with hardly any usage. I want to be generous and assume this is some sort of background coding mistake, but there have unfortunately been cases where apps might use background CPU for something ridiculous like Bitcoin mining- so I’d like to see this resolved ASAP. If that happens, I’d happily give it 5 stars for handling its task well.

Hey there, I just released a new version of the app. Can you update and try again? You can email me at daviswbaer@gmail.com if you are still having this issue

Wish counts/reps were bigger

This is perfect except the font for the counts/reps is so small. It would be great if you could see this from a distance while working out.
