### 3/5 — Verbesserung

*2025-07-23*

Ansich eine gute App.
Verstehe nur den Sinn darin nicht, dass wenn ich das Widget bedienen möchte (Start, Pause, Reset) und die App öffnet sich!! Das möchte ich ja eben nicht, dafür habe ich doch das Widget!!
Der zweite Punkt ist das ich über die Applewatch die verschiedenen Zeiten nicht anwählen kann um neu zu starten, oder die gerade abgelaufene Zeit neu zu starten. Und wenn, dann nur ein paar Sekunden bevor die Funktion auf der Watch verschwindet....
Da müsste meiner Meinung nach unbedingt dran gearbeitet werden!!

### 5/5 — Love the app

*2025-01-09*

There’s just one problem if the creator is reading this please make the widgets smaller like every time you start the timer on one of the timer it’s automatically shows only one the timer u clicked to start on the smaller widget

### 3/5 — Funktioniert, aber leider keine Antwort auf meine Anfrage bekommen

*2024-11-02*

Die App funktioniert gut. Eins stört mich aber extrem, dass die App sich jedesmal öffnet, sobald ich ein Button des Widgets drücke. Ein Widget sollte eigentlich eine zügige und einfache Bedienung versprechen. Quasi ein Druck und es läuft. So bringt mir das Widget nichts. Denn das war meine Voraussetzung. Ich habe dies beim Entwickler nachgefragt, aber keine Antwort erhalten.

### 1/5 — App mit Potenzial und einem Showstopper

*2024-05-02, version 2.5.5*

Sehr schöne App mit viel Potenzial. Gerade die Integration des Dynamic Island gefällt mir sehr gut. Ärgerlicherweise werden Timer leider nur dort angezeigt, wenn sie aus der App gestartet werden, nicht aber wenn sie aus einer Automation initiiert werden.

/Update:
Ich muss leider meine Rezension leider korrigieren. Gerade verschwanden vor meinen Augen 3 meiner 4 gespeicherten Timer, die nicht einmal liefen. Die App soll mir Arbeit abnehmen und nicht machen.

### 4/5 — Shortcuts support

*2024-03-27*

Please add the option to dynamically set a timer from shortcuts by supplying the name of the timer and the time that the timer is countdown down to. 

I would like to tie this into a shortcuts automation

### 3/5 — It’s okay.

*2024-03-21*

I like how this works on the top of my screen. I wish you could set it to repeatedly loop rather than having to press start every time and I do not understand why the flag thing appears with a time that is not relevant. If those two things were fixed I would give it 5⭐️ hands down. In the meantime, I give it 3.

### 2/5 — Needs work

*2024-03-17*

I want to like the app, but the watch version is finicky, showing whatever it wants and the main app interface is dated. 

Adjusting timers can only be done by dragging the wonky wheel pickers; you can't type in your timer values to set a time. 
Also, the wheel picker is glitchy and makes the labels (like 'Hours' and 'Min.') drag-able so they get in the way (those shouldn't be interactive!)

### 1/5 — Not working

*2024-02-12, version 2.5.5*

I want my money back!!
The app does not work properly! When I close the app is still on the dynamic island. Even when I force close it.

### 2/5 — Naja

*2024-01-13, version 2.5.5*

Leider kein Klingelton im Lautlos-Modus. Zudem ist der Banner in der der Mitteilungszentrale im Fokus schwarz mit schwarzer Schrift, sodass man nix lesen kann! Auch gibt es keine Wiederholung des Timers. Alles in allem chic, aber für mich nutzlos.

### 4/5 — Good timer live activity

*2023-06-09*

I like the live activity for this timer app, it allows you to set a prominent countdown (in the dynamic island for those with one) which can be helpful for day planning. I wish there were an option to just show minutes and hide seconds in the dynamic island.

The live activity lockscreen widget needs to be redesigned—it shows the countdown and end time (great), but it also displays the name of the alarm sound (eg. “Japanese Temple Bell”) which is unnecessary and an odd thing to display on the small live activity. Hope they add some options for that. Also, the timer icon used in the live activity is static, it would be more useful if it displayed a progress bar/circle to represent the amount of timer left like the iOS timer does.
