Great timer

Small app, does exactly what you and nothing more plus free

Response from developer

Thank you for the review - it makes all the difference. So pleased you like the app and find it useful. Very much appreciated Clive

Very accessible with Voiceover!

As a totally blind iPhone user, I was pleasantly surprised to find that this app is very accessible with Voiceover! It took some time for me to learn how to use it with Voiceover, but I eventually figured it out! I also love how the timer notifies me, even when I'm not in the app! Great job!

Response from developer

Oh, that makes me VERY happy! Thank you SO MUCH for sharing that information, and for the review. You have put a spring in my step 😊

Great Timer for multiple uses

I was looking for a shot clock for billiards/pool. This app was perfect for that. It’s also good for timing rest between workout sets. It also pairs with AB Shutter which allows remote starting. Well done Clive!

Suggestions

Please add individual seconds please. Also if you can’t make it so that it can last for more than two hours that would be nice.🙂

Many thanks!

I’m going through rehab and for one exercise I need to hold a position for 30 seconds and then change the position. It would be awkward for me to see my phone or watch to time the 30 seconds and counting to myself is both distracting and inaccurate. This is exactly what I needed and I want to thank the developer for offering it for free!
