Tried deleting and reacquiring but still no sound. Sound is turned ON on my iPhone. ### 3/5 — Easy to use *2022-12-13, version 2.0.1* I like the preset times it would be nice to add my own time to a preset button I have hearing aids connected to my phone via Bluetooth and when I use the app it automatically connects to my hearing aids so I can’t hear the therapist no app settings to disable the feature if I turn off my Bluetooth it’s a hassle repairing my hearing aids ### 4/5 — Perfect other than volume *2022-10-15, version 2.0.1* I hoped to get a timer on my phone that would allow me to time stretches during PT. And I wanted it to be concurrent with the podcast playing I listened to while stretching. And finally, I wanted it to count the number of stretch exercises. So this app is perfect. AND it has large buttons that are easy to hit when in various stretching positions. The only way it could be better is if I could adjust the timer beep volume independent of the podcast volume. At a volume where I can easily hear my podcast, the beeper volume is uncomfortably high. ### 5/5 — Great app *2022-06-08, version 2.0.1* Use it daily for physical therapy. I would love to see and use it from my Apple Watch. ### 4/5 — Great! But needs volume control of beeps. *2022-05-22, version 2.0.1* See above. ### 5/5 — Alles was man braucht *2022-05-09* Ich benutze die App fast ein Jahrzehnt zum täglichen Fitness. Mir gefällt die spartanische Aufmachung frei von Schnickschnack. Ein Tipp: sollte der Piepton mal fehlen, einfach die seitlichen Soundtasten betätigen. ### 5/5 — Super App *2022-04-14* Perfekt für Sport und Dehnübungen! ### 5/5 — Very good timer app *2022-01-20* Please add function to disable sound and vibration for the timer. Thank you ### 5/5 — Perfect *2022-01-09, version 2.0.1* Perfect for my needs which is to get back into running after 5 yrs off. I need to run/walk for set times - this is editable & spot on. Cheers developers! ### 5/5 — Great for working out *2022-01-02, version 2.0.1* Simple, easy, free. Thanks. ### 5/5 — We need more apps like this! *2021-09-26, version 2.0.1* Simple, free, and works ### 3/5 — Making a better app suggestions *2021-06-09, version 2.0.1* I have used the app quite a lot and suggestions I have is that the counter size should be increased as I can’t read it. You can reduce the size of main timer. Also reset counter when changing to different time. Thanks ### 5/5 — apple watch ver. plz *2021-04-29* watch ### 5/5 — Version 2.0.1 *2021-04-16, version 2.0.1* I totally read your update note and now I know how to use the app again. Thanks. Some of us do read the updates. :) ### 5/5 — Simple, Efficient, Beautiful! *2020-10-20, version 2.0.1* Just brilliantl! ### 5/5 — Update idea *2020-06-05, version 2.0.1* First of all, this app works great. It is simple but does exactly what you want it to do. You can even customize the shortcut times. One recommendation is to decrease the font size when I split the screen on my iPad. When I have a workout video and the timer side by side, but the timer window is narrow, it doesn’t show the times, it just says “...” for all of the buttons. ### 5/5 — Thank you *2020-05-28, version 2.0.1* i have been looking for something like this for such a long t8me and was considering making it myself. now i don't have to. ### 5/5 — Great! *2020-05-05, version 2.0.1* Just what I needed for stretching/PT exercises. I just wish I could silence the final countdown beeps without having to silence my phone ### 4/5 — Spot on *2020-05-03, version 2.0.1* Great app for an overage, overweight man trying to get fitter ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t have a good ringtone or vibration option *2020-04-08, version 2.0.1* Only beeps really loud and no other options. ### 1/5 — Keine Updates - inzwischen leider kaputt *2019-10-06* Ich fand diese App immer sehr hilfreich. Übersichtlich, schnell zu bedienen und große Zahlen. Leider läuft sie nicht mehr richtig nach dem neuesten iOS Update: wenn man selbst verschiedene Zeiten konfigurieren möchte, stürzt die App jedes Mal ab. ### 1/5 — Fantastica ma manca l’app per Apple Watch.. *2019-01-04, version 2.0.1* Come funzionalità è la migliore app timer per la palestra ecc Però ho notato queste grosse mancanze - manca l’app per Apple Watch.., quindi è inutilizzabile..., basterebbe vedere il tempo dall’orologio... - ho un iPhone X e ancora non è stata adattata al display... ### 1/5 — beautiful simplicity, but.... *2017-11-09, version 2.0.1* I love the simplicity but I cant use it for exercizing because of the annoying beeps at the end of the cycle. When listening to music at a comfortable level the beeps are too loud and ear piercing. At the end of each cycle it hits you with three short loud high pitched beeps then anoher long one! All we really need is one short beep! I hope to be able to use a future release... ### 1/5 — Really sad... *2016-03-17, version 2.0.1* I loved the previous version much better. ### 1/5 — After update crashes on launch on iphone 4 *2016-03-05, version 2.0* Loved this app & relied on it for years. After latest update it crashes every time on launch & causes phone to freeze on iphone 4. Note useless. Keep looking. ### 1/5 — NON VA *2016-03-04, version 2.0* Dopo l aggiornamento non si apre più! Crasha sempre!!! Inutilizzabile! ### 1/5 — Crash *2016-03-04, version 2.0* Questa versione crasha appena la apro. Risolvete! ### 1/5 — Bad update *2016-03-04, version 2.0* Roll back to the previous version please ### 1/5 — Crashes *2016-03-03, version 2.0* Crashes on opening with iPhone 4S. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excellent App, Easy To Use *2026-07-08, version 2.0.1* If you need a timer that just plays a time at a given interval without a bunch of other nonsense, this is perfect. It’s easy to use and starts with commonly used pre-set times, which can be adjusted to whatever you need (see the “What’s New” in the App Store for instructions.) ### 5/5 — Less is More *2026-04-21, version 2.0.1* This is an example of a perfectly executed application. Nothing more. Nothing less. Clearly simple functional design. Easy to use. Bonus. It is free to own. Kudos to the developer. ### 5/5 — Best Timer App Out There *2025-11-08, version 2.0.1* Use this app to replace an analog timer in my gym, love the big display and the simplicity, don’t have to keep pushing buttons to change times and especially like that the timer resets itself instead of just beeping until I go turn it off. Elegantly efficient ! ### 5/5 — App eccezionale peccato che … *2025-09-23, version 2.0.1* App eccezionale la utilizzo da anni per i miei allenamenti peccato solo che non la si può avere anche su Apple Watch… posso sperarci ? ### 5/5 — Perfect *2025-04-18, version 2.0.1* Exactly what I was looking for! Simple to use. Timers are customizable. Love it! ### 5/5 — Simple. Does the job. Free. *2025-03-08, version 2.0.1* More apps need to be this way. Far too much bloatware out there. This just works. Love it. ### 5/5 — Exactly what I was looking for *2024-09-03* Simple, easy to use and just the right amount of options and settings ### 5/5 — Migliore *2024-01-26, version 2.0.1* Miglior timer in assoluto per i miei allenamenti Un compagno da 7 anni grazie!!!! ### 5/5 — Simple and free. What’s more to like. *2023-10-26, version 2.0.1* Such a simple app with useful and concise settings. Doesn’t try to lock you in to a subscription for simple features. I feel like truly free apps are a rare thing these days. Bravo for continuing to support, seven years on. ### 5/5 — Perfect *2023-05-07, version 2.0.1* Actually, this is better than perfect. Fed-up with all the rubbish I’ve tried. Deleted them all after giving them a chance. I want to say more but your other reviewers have said it all. All I can do is second them.
