### 4/5 — Needs more/custom sounds

*2016-08-22, version 3.1.3*

I purchased this for use in my middle school classroom. The interface is beautiful and everything functions as it should. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is due to the lack of sounds and the inability to add/purchase more alarm sounds.

### 4/5 — Love this app

*2014-03-25, version 1.5*

I absolutely love this app. 4 timers going at the same time is exactly what I needed! ;o)

### 3/5 — Suggestions

*2011-11-10, version 1.2*

I bought this for my kid who has sensory needs and is extremely visual.  I found it easy to use, and like the multiple timers. However, two things really bug me about this app, especially considering how spendy it was. First, I know there are apps out there that override the automatic sleep function on the iPad.  This would be a good idea for this app. The iPad goes to sleep and then we can't see the timer.  The other thing is that when time runs out, the timer resets itself to where it started from.  This is annoying because if my child can SEE that the time is over, he gets it.  When it resets, he thinks he has time left.  The "real" time timer stays white until you reset it.  Please consider this in an update...thanks!

### 4/5 — Mr oleg

*2011-07-02, version 1.1*

Overall good product.
I'd only add ability to change background - current one is too harsh, in my opinion.
May be bigger start button.
Functionality wise - great timer

### 1/5 — Don’t buy for iPad

*2020-07-08, version 3.1.3*

I purchased this app for my iPhone, and it works great. Then I bough t it for my iPad and it doesn’t work. It only displays for a short time before the screen turns off. That’s okay, but I’d rather it stayed on. The main issue is the screen goes off and the alarm won’t sound with the screen off. So basically, it doesn’t help at all.

### 1/5 — Not what I expected

*2016-02-01, version 3.1.3*

Not worth the money. Only one day. One should be able to set for several days. Save your money don't purchase.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2014-03-09, version 1.5*

Don't waste your money.

### 1/5 — sound needs updating

*2013-10-01, version 1.4.2*

I use this app at school to rotate stations. I love that you can set a timer to repeat as many times as you wish, but the sound doesn't go through my projector like every other app does so we can never hear when the timer goes off. I am looking into a different app. Waste of money!

### 1/5 — I wanted to love it

*2012-01-03, version 1.2*

I was so excited for this app.  My toddler needs a visual timer to see how long he needs to stay in bed for his nap.  I thought this would be perfect, a cheaper and better alternative to the actual time timer.  Which it is.  I love everything about the app.  But the iPad goes to sleep after a few minutes which renders the app useless.  What good does a visual timer do you if it doesn't stay on?

### 2/5 — Hate the update

*2015-06-17, version 3.0*

I used to love this app until the latest update.  I used to be able to display 2 large timers simultaneously and the size adjusted with the amount of timers opened.  Now it doesn't matter how many timers I have going, they are all small and there is no way to change that setting.  I hate the new update.  I am kicking myself for updating and would really like my old version back.

### 2/5 — Disappointed

*2013-08-02, version 1.4.2*

I purchased this app expecting to use it on both my iPad and iPhone. I cannot. You must purchase each app separately. For the price, that is unacceptable. I am very disappointed.

### 2/5 — A bit disappointed

*2013-04-23, version 1.4.2*

I used to have the original time timer but it broke, so I was kinda excited when I found this app. The visual looks great but the alarm is too soft and I can't really hear it when time is up. It goes a soft "ding" and stops. I wish I had a volume or a variety of sounds.

### 3/5 — Helpful, hope for some improvements

*2015-12-26, version 3.1.1*

Overall, I really like the app.  
Features that would turn like into love:
1. Section for notes in each timer
2. The capability to sort the timers in the order I want to see them in each day.

### 3/5 — Works on original iPad, not on Mini

*2013-08-03, version 1.4.2*

Works great on our original iPad (now my daughters) but doesn't work properly on the mini. Timer function works, but no sounds to let kids (or me!) know when their time is up.

### 5/5 — Great timer and easy to use

*2022-05-06, version 3.1.3*

I just got this Time Timer today, and I love it!  I had a project that required my attention every 10 minutes, and I needed it to repeat the notification 6 times.  It worked perfectly!  I currently have it on my iPad, and I’m going to get it for my phone too.

### 5/5 — The 1st and the Best

*2021-10-15, version 3.1.3*

This app helps me stay on task better than anything else.

Simple, clear controls, no ads -- and free.

Highly recommend.

### 5/5 — Didn’t know I needed this.

*2020-04-28, version 3.1.3*

Didn’t know a timer like this existed till Make Time book recommenced it to me. Currently using it as a Pomodoro clock and loving it. Was wondering if dark mode is on the horizon? Thanks

### 5/5 — Perfect for cooking!

*2017-07-17, version 3.1.3*

When cooking multiple things, I love that I can set, name, and color code multiple timers. Love this timer.

### 5/5 — Simple intuitive clear

*2017-02-04, version 3.1.3*

You'd think it's easy to design and build a nice simple touch timer. 

And then you look at how disappointing other apps are: no way to set the timer by a drag gesture, no way to have multiple timers, no way to get junk off the screen, no attention to clarity and basic visual design.

But then there's this one! It's great. This is the only you want. Just get it.

### 5/5 — Great product

*2014-04-23, version 1.5*

If you have owned a time timer and have children, you would appreciate the product. 
Unfortunately, my 1 year old has got a hold of my time timer twice and has ripped them all apart. 
Now with this app, I have the luxury of the timer without the problem or fear of my kids ripping I up.

### 5/5 — Just what I wanted

*2012-02-23, version 1.2*

This is a great App! The people that are having problems with their iPad going to sleep don't know how to use their iPad. All you have to do is go to settings and adjust the Auto Lock setting so that your screen doesn't go to sleep. Simple.

### 4/5 — Poor split screen

*2022-09-15, version 3.1.3*

No access to the active timers list in split screen. No way to adjust (play/pause) timers in fullscreen multi-timer view.

### 4/5 — Please update to include dark mode

*2020-01-07, version 3.1.3*

Great app. Use it everyday. Please add dark mode so when I keep it running for long periods it’s not completely destroying my screen, battery or eyeballs. I guess a dark mode may ease that.

### 4/5 — Clock mode?

*2018-05-15, version 3.1.3*

So far it looks like exactly what I was expecting/needing. I see from a YouTube video that there was once a “clock mode”. I would love to have that available again in the future if possible.
