### 5/5 — Très bonne appli

*2025-11-22*

Fonctionne parfaitement

### 1/5 — Having to pay is absurd.

*2025-01-03*

Literally, it’s a random bomb timer, god people are so greedy.

### 4/5 — Bon substitut à la bombe

*2024-07-21*

Très bonne application, j’ai pris le premium, juste 1 euro, par contre petit bémol car le minuteur s’arrête quand le portable se met en économie d’écran donc il faut toujours taper sur l’écran toutes les 10 secondes pour éviter cela.

**Developer response:** Bonjour. Merci pour votre soutien et pour votre retour d’expérience. Je n’avais pas connaissance de ce comportement. J’espère avoir la possibilité d’éviter cela. Je vais regarder dans les semaines à venir. En attendant, je vous recommande de modifier les paramètres système de votre iPhone pour éteindre l’écran après 1 minute). Encore merci à vous. 
Édit : demande d’amélioration prise en compte et disponible sur la version 1.3 😉

### 2/5 — Pas de sons

*2023-04-01*

Le son ne semble pas fonctionner …

**Developer response:** Bonjour. Pensez à vérifier que votre téléphone n’est pas en mode vibreur. C’est très probablement la raison. Si le téléphone est en vibreur il est impossible de l’activer depuis une application (j’avais essayé mais c’est voulu de la part d’Apple pour que les applications ne viennent pas perturber l’utilisateur si ce dernier a mis explicitement son téléphone en vibreur via le bouton latéral). 
Tenez moi au courant 😉

### 5/5 — Merci beaucoup

*2022-11-12*

Application super fonctionnelle et très simple d’utilisation je recommande vivement surtout que les piles du jeu originals coûtent assez cher

**Developer response:** Merci pour votre avis. Je suis ravi que cette application vous donne entière satisfaction.

### 4/5 — Simple et efficace (mais pub)

*2022-11-11*

L’app fonctionne très bien pour remplacer le timer cassé du Tic Tac Boum! Junior de mes enfants. Simple et efficace. 

Une page de pub vient de temps en temps vous faire comprendre que l’app n’est pas complètement gratuite (on peut le comprendre, développer une app demande du temps et de l’argent). Il existe à ce propos une option payante pour faire disparaître la pub. 

J’ai eu une déconvenue avec une pub inadaptée pour des enfants (image légèrement suggestive) mais Yann, le développeur de l’app, est immédiatement revenu vers moi après mon commentaire, il s’est s’excusé du contenu inadapté et m’a informé avoir modifié les thèmes de pub envoyés par la régie avec laquelle il travaille pour éviter que cela n’arrive à nouveau. Je le remercie bien pour sa réactivité et son attention concernant ma remarque 🙏

**Developer response:** Merci d'avoir porté à ma connaissance cet incident. Je vais me retourner vers la société en charge de la diffusion du contenu des publicités pour bloquer ce type de contenu qui n'a effectivement pas sa place dans cette application. Je suis le premier surpris et je vous assure que le nécessaire vient d'être fait pour que cela ne se reproduise pas.

### 5/5 — Super

*2021-06-02*

Bien pensé. Application utile

### 5/5 — Simple mais efficace

*2021-06-02*

C’est simple mais ça fait le boulot ! Il fallait y penser.
