Notifications for this obviously useless app are turned on but after setting 6 different timers with different notification sounds not 1 has worked… If I’d paid for this app I would have requested a refund from Apple by now. I didn’t need telling to turn on notifications for this app but why bother including instructions to turn on notifications if no sound plays when a timer ends if sounds don’t work even when notifications are turned on? Total rubbish and a waste of time downloading & installing on your iPhone - avoid it! ### 1/5 — This app is terrible. *2019-07-29* Things wrong- 1. You get ads every .1 seconds 2. You can't set a certain time, you can only choose the times it gives you 3. This is supposed to be for a workout, but this app is useless anyways so just use the normal app you would use for setting timers. **Developer response:** Hello there! Thank you for your feedback. We reviewed your feedback and have since eliminated ads from our app and incorporated the ability to set certain times for Timer Machine's 3 timers.

You can set your own time intervals for work and break. You’re not limited to 25 minutes of working and 5 minutes for breaks. Change it to whatever you want. 2. When the timer is up, the break does not automatically start. It waits for you to start the break, by tapping on the Break button. So, this allows flexibility; if you work longer than the allotted work time, you do not lose the allocated break time; it’s not rigid like a Pomodoro timer. ### 5/5 — Best timer out there. *2021-02-10* Fantastic App! I suppose there must have been ads at one time, but not anymore. Best timer out there - thanks! **Developer response:** Hello there! Thank you for your positive feedback.
