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!

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.
Can't Use Without Paying
You need to pay for this app to use it once downloaded.. Bit sneaky as they should have listed it with a purchase price.
? For developer
I paid for the full version and for periods of time it works period. The first problem is at seemingly random times the counter freezes. If you bring up the app it immediately continues the timer. Another issue is ideally when the counter finishes the loop I want it to make a sound on my iPhone or headphone and display a notification on my Iwatch. This sometimes works for 10 minutes or less then at least one of the notification methods stop(e.g. stops playing the sound,freezes or stops notifying iwatch. I have tried every random timer I could find but yours comes closest to my requirements. I know some of the issues are simply caused by limitations in the iPhone or iwatch. There are definitely problems after hanging up from a phone call. Can you recommend the best iPhone settings to increase the chance that the iPhone beeps and the iwatch displays a notification?

Hey Jon, I recently released a new update that should fix this. Can you update and try again? If you are still having issues, you can email me at daviswbaer@gmail.com
Great for musicians
Great app for timing practice sessions- setting a timer for a time between 30-45 minutes to practice for. Or for audition preparation (you never know how long you’ll be waiting in a warm up room for). Thank you!

Glad you like it!
Simple and Productive!
I highly recommend this app to use random timer!
you can use it and set timer randomly to do engage and disengage your body and mind. Andrew Huberman said that! like you start timer for 2mins and then you have to do nothing like IDLE mode for only 10sec. close or open eyes doesn’t matter. when you do this, your body can learn and focus x10 or even x20 times faster and better! do this randomly about 1-6mins.
also under 2mins it’s free and It get our job done. but you can pay 8$ for lifetime and I think it’s totally worth it! I checked other apps and one of them is 13$ per year! so make sure to use this app and do what I’m said to change your lives❤️
extra tip: make sure to set minimum timer about 1:15 minutes and maximum timer about 6minutes.
good luck!

PERFECT for dog training
I can’t be more excited that this exists….very helpful in training long duration cues like Stay, where you want to randomly reinforce at longer intervals. Thank you for existing!!
Almost perfect!
I give five stars since it meets all my needs, but there are just a few things missing, such as dark mode and a few other things. Still very useful and certainly worth downloading

Glad to hear you like it :)
Amazing :)
Used it for Hot potato - great for birthday parties. Thank you.
Almost perfect (for me)
This app would be perfect for my use if I could set “active hours”… like if I only want the random timer to be working from 8am to 10pm.
Bonus feature would be to select days for “weekdays only”.
Not a big deal to just pause and resume the timer but I’d love to be able to “set and forget” :)

Appreciate the review! I will look into your feedback :)
Pretty good but missing a few things
After paying the $8 to unlock, I was disappointed to learn if you use the repeater loop and a custom sound that is longer that 2-3 seconds, you don’t hear the entire sound, just 2-3 seconds. And even if you use the “add a break between timers” option, it still cuts off the sound when looping is turned on.
Additionally, the alarm seems to always include vibrate, there is seemingly no option for sound alone, which is kind of annoying.
Other that it’s good, but hoping the developer sees this and makes a few small tweaks to get a 5th star from me. Thanks!

Hey there, if you don't loop the timer, then it will play the full sound. Unfortunately I can't have the full sound play when looping mode is on, because some sounds are a few minutes long, so then you'd be waiting a long time for the next timer loop to start. I'll see if I can add an option to disable vibration in a future release though :)
This app is perfect for workouts!
If you don’t have a trainer, it’s perfect to do your sets and to not know when you’ll be done, to really push yourself, FIVE STAR
Great for PsyOping yourself into better planks
The random timer is great for planks. Instead of doing my 1 minute holds, I set the timer to go off between 45 and 90 seconds. That means there’s some chance I’ll get off easy, but more than likely, I’m going extra time 😬. Not knowing exactly when the timer ends makes me commit to the hold so much better. Great app, clean interface, does exactly what I want it to do!

Thanks for the review :)
Very Helpful
Very helpful app. I use it to motivate myself to stay on task. To the developer: I love that you took someone else’s suggestion to show the completed time when a hidden timer finishes. I would love it even more if that went one step further so that the completed time stayed visible until the next timer starts. I usually remember to note the time before I turn the alarm off, but sometimes I forget. Thanks so much for a great app!

Just what I needed
Planning on using this at the shooting range for target practice. Easy to use, nothing fancy, everything you need to set off a random alarm. Thanks for putting this in the App Store!

Appreciate the review! Glad you enjoy it :)
Max 2 minutes timer
You can set a max timer of 2 minutes, for more you gotta pay
Works great!
Works exactly as developer says. Nice app! Would be nice if there were a way to save and name various timers and the settings associated with them. Would also be nice if you could upload, delete and select among multiple sounds instead of just one sound at a time in present PRO version.
