### 4/5 — Love it needs a fix though

*2026-05-06, version 1.2.1*

When the app pauses it's not popping up on my screen if my screen is timed out or off the app

### 3/5 — Nice looking but not for me

*2025-10-24, version 1.2.1*

I got this for the multiple steps timer, but it doesn’t show the steps, only the current one. I was going to use it to practice presentations but it’s too small, and doesn’t have an option for no sound. I’d prefer a simple and soft single ‘tick’ like a wood block in a testing room. Even the shortest sound available can be startling.

### 2/5 — Only vibrates for one second

*2024-06-16, version 1.2.1*

I don’t want to hear sounds indicating the timer is up. I only want to use the vibration. And even though you have long duration alarms for sound the vibration part is shorter that 2 seconds

### 3/5 — Good app but not reliable

*2024-05-03, version 1.2.1*

I was happy to find the multiple timer that I was looking for meditation.

Only major concern I have is my iPhone screen turns-off randomly & when this happens the alarms don’t happen.

Is there a way to solve this problem?

### 5/5 — Best multi step timer I've used

*2024-02-25, version 1.2.1*

Great for having the different steps' titles read to you so you can perform them whether you are walking or in the car etc. I use it to perform breathing and stretching exercises.

### 5/5 — Great but dead app

*2024-02-17, version 1.2.1*

Great app but developer hasn’t updated the app in 3 years.

### 5/5 — ดีมาก

*2024-02-10, version 1.2.1*

ดีมาก

### 5/5 — So Handy - I Highly Recommend

*2024-02-06, version 1.2.1*

This is a "No Brainer" 
Great timer and stopwatch. With a widget that is worth using. its just so east to use. It's the most effective app I've found for Pomodoro. 

I have preset timers for the washer, dryer, dishwasher, and most importantly, for my morning French press coffee.  

it can be as easy or as complex as you want/need it to be.  

And, most importantly, it is ADHD worthy.  And, I am *bonified* ..!

I highly recommend!

### 5/5 — Wonderful

*2024-01-31, version 1.2.1*

This app is amazing. It looks good, is easy to navigate, works well and does not have a lot of bells and whistles that complicates its function.  I love it and heartily recommend. Even though there is a free version, I purchased the full version to get the audio. 💕

### 5/5 — Excellent timer app!!! Does everything I need

*2024-01-20, version 1.2.1*

I love that I can set several steps in one timer for something like stretching exercises, for example. I also love the amount of features that do not require a paid subscription. The interface is user friendly and I appreciate that as well.

### 4/5 — Use it every day for PT

*2024-01-18, version 1.2.1*

I have my physical therapy routine in steps.  The app keeps time and tells me when to do the next stretch, so I don’t have to think about it. Makes it easier to get it done regularly, which is very helpful.  The only wish for the app I have would be to copy entire routines so I can modify. Maybe it does that and I haven’t figured it out yet.  Still very useful app.

### 5/5 — Update

*2024-01-12, version 1.2.1*

No update for iPhone X 💔

### 4/5 — Good App, but can’t copy a timer

*2023-11-29, version 1.2.1*

Good app.  I used it for several  simple recurring timing events and specialized multi-step events like pomdoro efficiency timer.  My most complex one was a 3 hour 43 step 2017 eclipse timer.

One needed enhancement, the ability to copy existing timers to edit and create new timers.

Plus a bit concerning this app hasn’t been updated for three years.

### 5/5 — Essential

*2023-11-12, version 1.2.1*

I use it everyday. Works flawlessly.

### 2/5 — Seems okay at first but

*2023-09-25, version 1.2.1*

The app seems okay at first and it gives you the option of having a permanent timer but after using that permanent timer a few times all of a sudden it  vanishes. 
This is no good to me having to reset a new timer all the time. I want a timer that stays there permanently......that's what permanent means....
Deleted after the first use...

### 3/5 — Not ringing while phone is locked

*2023-09-24, version 1.2.1*

I set timer put phone on lock. After completing timer is phone is ringing m. Fix this. This happens after i have update ios 17. 

Please fix this asap

### 1/5 — Has so much potential but 😡

*2024-02-09, version 1.2.1*

I love the idea and set up of this app but it’s so annoying that you can only set up 3 saved timers without having to pay loads. 1/5 Good if your rich

### 1/5 — Good app but…

*2023-12-16, version 1.2.1*

It’s a good app, but it has one basic drawback: you cannot slide to delete a stopwatch. Every time you create a stopwatch and want to delete it, you need to hit ‘edit’, then a red ‘-’ and click on ‘delete’. Why complicate such a simple process? Why not just slide left and hit delete? Simple as that.

### 1/5 — Does not work as stated

*2023-11-27, version 1.2.1*

Will not show active timer on my iPhone Lock Screen

### 1/5 — The app has limited use ability in iOS 16

*2023-10-13, version 1.2.1*

I bought this app when I had iOS 15 on my iPad and phone. It worked very well under iOS 15 and I still use it on my iPad with iOS 15. It does not however, work well with iOS 16 on my iPhone. The app is only limited to use from the today view and cannot be edited or manipulated while the timer is running. So, it’s useless in most cases.

### 1/5 — It handles only 3 timers at a time

*2022-07-29, version 1.2.1*

If you need more timers, you need to pay for the upgrade. There are many other apps out there for free that handle more timers

### 1/5 — Wo sind die Widgets?

*2022-01-06, version 1.2.1*

Ich habe die Pro Version gekauft in der Hoffnung, dass ich dann die Timer oder die Stoppuhr als Widget auf der Oberfläche nutzen kann.  So wie in der Beschreibung. Aber diese stehe in den Widgets nicht zur Verfügung. Enttäuschend….

### 1/5 — How.  to I m f m I B N o N. No

*2021-08-03, version 1.2.1*

Noklfiiuu  my my mmmmmmo. The  I’m inmuch

### 1/5 — Great until the upgrade.

*2021-01-08, version 1.2.1*

I was enjoying this app so I decided to go premium. It said $2.99 for premium and I was charged 20 bucks. That ain’t right and I want a refund.

### 1/5 — Didn’t work

*2020-12-08, version 1.2.1*

I added a timer but when I tried to use it I got a”no timers added” message.  And the “all timers “ link did not list any.

### 1/5 — Limited to 3 timers. Try other apps!

*2020-05-14, version 1.1.7*

Unless you purchase the Pro version, you can have 3 timers ONLY. In other apps, you can have UNLIMITED timers.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-05-02, version 1.2.1*

Easy to use. Use it when cooking. Less burnt food!😁

### 5/5 — Gear and simple tool for exercises

*2026-02-14, version 1.2.1*

Easy to use and does exactly what it says it does.

### 5/5 — Simple and make sense

*2025-11-25, version 1.2.1*

Very easy to use and practical. It would be nice if the timer shows up in the background when I close the app.

### 5/5 — Extremely necessary

*2025-07-15, version 1.2.1*

Maybe one day the devs will return and give us widgets and live notifications. Until then, a phenomenal app and very useful for those with ADHD and a need to set multi step timers. I haven't been able to find another like it.

### 5/5 — Exactly As Described

*2025-04-01, version 1.2.1*

This app is great for interval timers. I’ve tried quite a few on the App Store and this one has been unobtrusive, to the point, and works perfectly as is. I paid for the upgrade just because I wanted to support the dev team behind it, and it was a reasonable price at just 2.99. Total breath of fresh air, honestly.

### 5/5 — AWESOME App‼️

*2024-11-08, version 1.2.1*

This app has been a HUGE help to me so many times... ❤️it!

### 5/5 — Ok

*2024-07-06, version 1.2.1*

Good

### 5/5 — Great App

*2024-05-07, version 1.2.1*

It doesn’t buffer or shutdown and you have to delete it and redownload it. Simply put it does what it says it does and suppose to do at a high level. A simple yet beautiful thing if you ask me to get from an app. And I love how you can customize your timers and how aesthetically pleasing the app looks and fluidly it works like clockwork. Constantly on point and dependable in my first month or so of using it and I see now reason why it wouldn’t be going forward. A must download for anyone in need of running multiple timers for any reason… and o yeah you can run multiple timers for what looks like to infinity and beyond in my opinion so far

### 5/5 — The most useful app ever!

*2024-04-14, version 1.2.1*

The ability to set up many steps to each timer is a godsend for cooks and bakers. And because you can have the app speak the commands out loud, you can call each step after the instructions you need. So your timer can tell you to “check the oven is at 250 degrees and add tray” !! It’s magic!

### 5/5 — 10 Stars all day every day.

*2024-03-26, version 1.2.1*

Phenomenal timer app. I've been using it for about a year and there is literally nothing I'd change to the app.  Everything about the app is easy from creation, to editing.  I can find no cons
