## What is Simple Repeat Timer.?

The simplest timer available. Beautifully designed and repeats over and over again. When the time is up you'll get a double buzz and the session will repeat just like that! 

Our aim is to help you be more productive everyday. Whether it's timing yourself to get out the door in the morning, that early coffee brew, your tabata workout, grilling your steak, or even just reminding yourself to standup every 30min


USE IT FOR
。 Gym workout or yoga sessions (20sec pushup, 10sec break, repeat)
。 Going on a 30min run and know how long it's been without having to stare at the clock painfully like we do
。 Keeping track of cooking times
。 Time-boxing yourself to 30min windows for doing focused work, then 5min break!
。 Drinking games (like power hour...and if you're a minor then ignore this we didn't say anything)
。 General time-keeping without ever looking at the clock
。 Plus anything else you can think of for a countdown timer! We'd love to see other great ideas!


FEATURES
。 Add up to 3 timers as a set that repeats
。 Save your frequently used timer sets
。Share & download timers from others
。 Revolutionary double-buzz when timer is up so you don't mistaken it for some other unimportant notifications (how brilliant! And we should totally patent this)
。Choose from 1 of 3 different volume alarm sounds
。Works even in the background!

### 1/5 — Worked only once

*2024-01-07*

Only got the app to work once. That is unacceptable for an app that you have to pay for.

**Developer response:** hello there sorry for your experience, please reach out to us gotimerapp @ gmail.com to follow up with your issue

### 1/5 — Swiping open phone resets timer

*2022-07-20, version 2.0*

I have to store open my phone.  When I do that, it changes the time on the timer.

If you don’t have to swipe your phone open, it’s not bad - though it restarts itself on its own.

**Developer response:** We’re sorry to hear this. What phone and iOS are you on? Please contact us and let us help you thank you! Gotimerapp @ gmail

### 1/5 — Buggy

*2019-12-06, version 2.0*

Spent 99 cents and can’t even set a timer. Keeps freezing when I open. Did a hard reboot of my phone and still nothing.

**Developer response:** sorry about your poor experience we will look into it and will have an update soon to patch all the bugs! thanks for your support! If you need additional support please contact us at gotimerapp@gmail.com

### 2/5 — Frequent crashes

*2019-07-03, version 2.0*

I haven’t been able to use this app yet. It crashes (freezes / locks-up / becomes wallpaper) EVERY TIME that I tap on “World Timers”. 
Too bad, I was hoping that this would fill my needs, but an app that is used to time even non-critical periods should, at the very minimum, be stable and trustworthy. I cannot say that about “Simple Repeat Timer”, so I’ll “simply delete timer”. Too bad...

**Developer response:** Thanks for bringing this to our attention we are currently implementing a fix. The update will be out by end of the month! Thank you!

### 3/5 — Timer won’t sound

*2019-07-02, version 2.0*

The timer won’t sound in silent mode, just runs silently. I don’t know if developers can fix this or iOS won’t allow & is a limitation to be dealt with. I would like my timer to sound silent mode or not.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your review. We are still currently investigating into how we can make this work even when your phone is on silent mode. Please stay tuned.

### 1/5 — Junk Junk Junk

*2019-02-17, version 2.0*

Junk junk junk junk deleted it 10 minutes after I bought it.  Junk.

**Developer response:** We're sorry Franky would you let us know what frustrated you and how we can make it better? Thanks! If you really hated it, you may be able to follow these steps for a refund:

### 2/5 — Not intuitive

*2018-12-14, version 2.0*

Interface is horrid. It says swipe... I had to swipe every direction to figure it out. Then I was faced with a drag interface. Even free I deleted it.

**Developer response:** we're sorry for the confusion, we will work on making the instruction text at the bottom of the page more prominent! It should say "Slide up to set". Maybe you read swipe up somewhere else that we forgot to change we're sorry!

### 5/5 — Easy and super helpful!

*2017-11-04, version 1.5*

Update: been using this for over 2 years. And while progress is slow, I do appreciate the developer’s dedication in making improvements still!! Looking forward to the Apple Watch app soon!

The concept and the app itself is very simple - you have a task, you set intervals of the time it’d take, and go. I’ve found this app extremely helpful in terms of keeping me focused, be more efficient, and saves me a ton of extra time wasted. I’ve used it in a variety of ways: house-keeping, cooking, exercising, preparing a presentation document at work, responding to work emails, etc. I think there’ll be more creative usages if you can set more than 3 intervals, and if you can adjust ringer volume/tone. Still, good app and very helpful!

### 5/5 — Wonderful app.

*2017-09-07, version 1.01*

I have meds to take every 2 hours. This reminds me with a nice soft tone. Thanks so much!😊

Devs if you're interested. 

1:Longer intervals like 2 hours or more would be great. Though I did see that you're working on that already. 

2:An option for the timer to go off each minute until I acknowledge that I heard it would also be really neat. 

Not a dealbreaker tho. Love the app. 
Got it on Appsgonefree a few months ago.

**Developer response:** Thanks for leaving a review & the feedback we really appreciate it! The option to 'acknowledge' that you've heard it is great idea, though we'd have to look into how it'd actually be implemented. Being a repeat timer, it might be confusing for users trying to figure out if the alert is checking to see if you've heard the last cycle, or a new cycle actually just completed.
We are however, looking to bring 3 different volume levels to Timer so that way depending on the need you can have a softer tone or a really loud one to make sure you hear it.

### 3/5 — Great idea but ...

*2017-08-06, version 1.01*

I need a timer to go off every four hours. This app only allows you to set alarms one hour intervals max. The app seems good for those who need short duration reminders.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback PJsd! We're working on a feature to let you set it to any amount of time you want by tapping on the time stamp and punching in the time desired. Please look forward to it in future updates!
