Almost perfect

Great minimal timer perfect for meditation. I find the main screen a bit confusing even after a year of use (โ€œEnterโ€ is more emphasized that โ€œStartโ€) but still great and simple.

Ridiculous

There is no way to view the app without selecting the 3 day trial with subscription. Need to cancel before 3 days. Would be nice to allow limited access to try like other apps. I deleted! Unfair

Unable to get past first screen requiring subscribing for the โ€˜free trialโ€™

Absurd design decision from an out of touch developer. Any money they make from this is by mistake or predatory design.
