Does allow more than one minute of ticks

You have to touch the blue trimmer and do the seconds not minutes. But it will do 59 minutes and 59 seconds. As the highest time. I use it to time for a task. So I can get it done as fast as possible. The ticking keeps me on track and is a motivator. You don’t realize how much time you waste and how quick you actual can complete tasks.

Would be easier if they could update to include just any desired time.

Autism-friendly Identical Precise Ticks

If you’re hypersensitive to slight variations between ticks from recordings of actual clocks on youtube (moving microphone around, multipart ticks with dragged out complex sounds, clocks where every other tick is a different pitch etc) the default tick in this app is a clean precise simple short sound that’s the same every time. This lets it actually work as calming background noise rather than just being irritating even if you’re very attuned to small details. Also it goes forever so there’s no lag for switching tracks like an audio clip on loop.

This app only has increments of over 1 minute!

I wanted to use this app for a homemade game show. There were not many options for the ticking sound and I only discovered after purchasing the app that it didn't offer options for time less than 1 minute. I've deleted the app and can't recommend owing to these limitations.

Fix the timer!

Timer function does not work even tho you can 'set lt', only the ticking clock which by itself is pretty useless.

Skip this app and go to the iTunes Store

Don't buy this app. The audio options don't sound like real clocks. The timer function does not work for anything other than 1 minute.

Instead, go to iTunes and search for "ticking clock sound effect." The one I got from "5 Star Sound Effects" is just over one minute, but it loops flawlessly on repeat. (The other one I got from "Soothing Sounds - Relaxing Sounds From Everyday Life" has an extra second at the end of the track without a tick that makes it not loop well.)
