UX downgrade
I’ve been using this app for several years, with no concerns. But a recent redesign complicated the way multiple clocks are managed. Access to the timer settings and access to the app settings are very easy to confuse with each-other. This app needs some proper UX design love.
No support
I sent a support request from the app to only have a reply that the email doesn’t exist. I then tried requesting support from the website and to date no reply.
Need help
I used this app with ease and great success last year at an event. I’m trying to use it again and can not connect my iPhone and iPad. Been trying all the suggestions and nothing works. I need help
Does not work with apple tv
It says it works with apple tv even though it says it is compatible on apple tv. I just see the timer on the screen and when i scroll up and down it adds or removes time. It does not say how to start it and I’ve pressed all the buttons on remote but it wont work.
Buy lifetime twice?
Bought this app already and now if I update it wants me to buy it again to give back the options I already had on the version I purchased- not cool st all
Response from developer
Hi. You do NOT need to purchase anything in order to get all the features you had in earlier versions. Every feature, plus the all-new Mac, Vision Pro, and watch apps were granted to you free as an existing user. If you wish to add other ADDITIONAL features that were not part of your older purchased version, such as multiple timers, more than 3 warnings, multiple views, etc. then you can either subscribe or purchase those features separately. Otherwise, you can enjoy every single feature you had and more without any additional purchases or subscriptions. Hope that helps clear up any confusion.
Bait and switch
I paid $9.99 for the full version of this a few years ago. Now the app is free, but the developer wants an additional $9.99/year or $29.99 for lifetime access, which isn’t that what I already bought?
Uncomplicated, elegant and powerful
I must have evaluated over 20 different countdown clock solutions for use in a pitch competition. If you need a combination of simple, elegant, powerful AND capable of supporting remote control (in my case, showing countdown on an onstage iPad but controlling it from an offstage iPhone), then this is your baby! Had some trouble initially getting the devices to connect, that issue mysteriously disappeared.
One ask is that you allow user to control countdown clock font (offer a few choices without serifs) and change color.
Bottomline: super app that’s well worth the $9.99 price tag 🎉

Range and customisation
I’ve been looking for such app to better time manage during a show/event. I have used this app for last 3-4 years. The two suggestions for improvements that I’ve like to give is on their range and their customisation of reminder for time remaining. I wish the range was better. Currently the range is limited to < 5 ft. I’ve kept devices on both same WiFi and in discoverable mode. But as soon as this distance (range) increases the connection gets lost and I have to move really close to get it back in connected device list. Hence, I feel like if the developer had any idea on how to improve this range, it would really help because staying within 5 ft of speaker/presenter is not realistic. Lastly, I think if we had liberty to change the reminder intervals. Currently it has pre-fixed reminder intervals.

Remote control Crashes
Every time I try to use the remote control feature it crashes on my phone. I am on the same WiFi and both devices are right beside each other. Would love to see this fixed because it is an awesome feature!
Response from developer
Hi. Sorry you are experiencing this issue. Try this: On both devices you want to connect to each other, tap on the remote icon, then Help, then tap Clear Known Devices List. That should get you back up and running.
Horrible! Incredibly complex to adjust settings
Settings are not all in the same place.
You can’t just type in the times you want for green/yellow/red
Why doesn’t it display the traditional play and pause indicators like every other player?
Complex gestures with 2 and 3 fingers to operate.
I want my $10 back!

Best countdown timer I’ve found, and I’ve tried a lot
I run meetings that need a countdown timer and so I’ve been through a lot of them. This one is by far the best one I have used! I have recommend this app multiple times and am very glad I found it. Lots of options and can even connect to my phone from my iPad with ease. Highly recommended.
That’s not my name
Great app, works well on a tablet. We screen mirror it onto a larger monitor at the back of the hall.The only confusing thing about this app is it’s name is it Fin,Timer for performance or Timer for rehearsal... who knows
Almost great for Apple TV
This app is great for what it’s supposed to do. The minimal design and easy to use interface make it great. Universal app across all iOS and tvOS is a great value.
However, there is a showstopping glitch on Apple TV 4K. It works fine when you run a timer from the presets screen. When you click on the timer to get full screen though, the “Menu” and “Play” buttons are disabled!!!
This is terrible because the only way to get that functionality back is by force quitting the app. It will work fine as long as you run it in the presets screen, so it is usable. Obviously though, losing the functionality for full screen mode is a major glitch.
This is probably the cleanest, easiest to use timer app, so I will keep using it in spite of the glitch for now. I really encourage the dev to take a look at functionality on Apple TV though since the app store shows it is on version 1.3 from Dec 17, 2018. Looks like it’s time for a quick debug and pushing it up to v1.4.

Good app
In early stages of exploring this timer app but it looks very good. Color backgrounds and audio alerts that warm a speaker when the time is running out. Presets for often used times etc.
Now I’ve got round a bug it’s working well
Now works well after a lab annoying bug ....
App installed on iPad Mini iPhone 11 Pro. Crashes each time I allow one or other device to be the remote control of the other - the key feature I wanted, to be able to remote start the clock sitting at far end of studio. Until the bug is fixed, a waste of my money.
Update - unfortunately nothing happens a when I click the ‘Contact Support’ link in the app on iPhone
Further update - butbsupport link works on iPad and developer replied with fix (go into remote settings, Help, and Clear Known Devices List on both devices) and everything joe working.

Crashes
Can’t connect to remote device
Response from developer
Again, I apologize. Not sure why the link isn't working for you. Feel free to send a note to fintimer@icloud.com, and I'll help you work this out. Thanks.
Does what it needs to!
Love the large numbers, and the count-up after hitting the time features, so I know how much I’m going over. Wish the Apple Watch app could buzz at certain intervals to help keep on track, (syncing with iPad?) but 5 stars!
Awesomely simple
Easy to use, simple design.
Crashes when connect iPhone and iPad
I get the 3 permissions buttons. On selecting the green one, that app crashes and quits. Same both ways.
