More timers would be beneficial at the warmup and cool down section rather than allotment of only 2. We should also be able to select if the timers are repeatable or non repeatable and place them where ever in the stack. For instances, after 2 repeats, swap to a new set of intervals but have a single use timer to so one could switch equipment while the timer runs. ### 4/5 — GREAT, EXCEPT… *2026-08-25, version 3.10* Having tons of useful features, the Pro version is easily a five star app EXCEPT there are no instructions - and they are needed because using it is not intuitive. ### 4/5 — Been using for years *2026-08-21, version 3.10* Seems that the quick timers are not sounding. The rest of the timers are fine. It seems to be a new glitch. Please fix. ### 2/5 — Sounds *2026-08-20, version 3.10* What good is a timer if the sounds does not work when the time is finished?????? Agree that is a problem sometimes. It shuts down without reason. Had to buy a regular timer for important time needs. ### 3/5 — Great timer *2026-08-19, version 3.9* Update. I used this app all the time. But it seems with all the updates when you try to change the time it refused to change the time till you start and stop then you can change the time. I been using it for years but now gets so annoying. I changed my review from 5 stars to 3. ### 3/5 — Losing time to glitches *2026-08-18, version 3.9* The timer display on the lock screen doesn’t always match the timer in the app and it randomly resets time back to 0 leaving me guessing exactly how much time I lost. ### 4/5 — I love it but… *2026-08-05, version 3.9* I love this app but am sad that there’s no Live Action for custom timers. ### 3/5 — Audio ducking problems *2026-07-09, version 3.8* I’ve been using this app for a few years and every so often there is an issue with audio ducking. It seems that certain ads have an effect on the audio volume when alarms go off, many times, lately, the volume does not return to its original level, requiring the app to be closed and reopened. The more annoying issue is when the music just STOPS - the music has to be manually restarted from the source app. This has gotten to be such an issue, so frequently, that it’s sent me on a search for a replacement as the subscription cost for ad removal is absurd. It’s happening again. It seems certain ads just stop the music from playing ### 4/5 — Not working again…revised *2026-06-25, version 3.7.4* Ok, the app is back to sounds working which is great! Thanks so much that the developer reached out to me too. I reinstalled the app but that didn’t help either. I didn’t do anything else and a few days later the sounds are working so I’m happy!! Once again, the sounds have stopped working. This causes a lot of issues, especially when timing is crucial, whether cooking or with medications. I’ve been using this app for years and have really enjoyed it and it’s been so helpful. Lately it has been quite troublesome and has caused quite a few issues. Please look into this and take care of it. It would be greatly appreciated by everyone that uses this app. ### 4/5 — Newest Update Broken *2026-06-25, version 3.7.4* The newest update that said it fixed the volume issues actually now is causing the volume issue. The app worked fine for me before the most recent update. Idk what happened here. I’ve tried reinstalling the app, which didn’t fix the issue. ### 5/5 — Perfect for working out *2026-06-23, version 3.7.4* Been using this app for years. It's simple and effective. They are also really responsive with fixing bugs in a timely manner which is much appreciated. ### 5/5 — I use Timer+ for a lot of timmed events *2026-06-23, version 3.7.4* This app helps me to time things like preparing the hummingbird food, adding water to our fountain, cooking on the BBQ and making pasta, etc. It’s an essential part of keeping me on track. ### 3/5 — It need to pay *2026-06-21, version 3.7.4* Ok ### 3/5 — Used to be 5star *2026-06-15, version 3.7.3* Just did an iOS upgrade to 18.#.# and get a blank page. Reboot no avail. Hopefully a fix is coming as it was my favorite timer app ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Totally broken *2026-08-12, version 3.9* Was a really useful app, used for years, but the recent update just a week ago (aug 5th) broke it completely, it’s now just a solid black screen upon booting- Please fix so I can change my rating! ### 1/5 — Useless *2026-07-28, version 3.8.2* So when it works, it’s not bad but… Unlike other similar apps, there is no way to luck it and so I start it, put it in my pocket and than the app get deleted… And the worst is that they do have history that keeps all past programs but there is no way to reinstate it. After 3 occasions where I had to stop in the middle of my workout and rebuild my workout, I gave up. ### 1/5 — Useless *2026-07-20, version 3.8.2* I get this timer app so I could set repeatable alerts to take medication for the next couple of days. Missing a dose means periods of extreme pain. I just woke up in agony after missing a dose to a silent notification box that a timer had gone off with no indication of a sound ever being played. I tried setting one up as a test and it seems that this timer app can’t do timers. If you need an app to file you lock screen with useless banners this $20 purchase is for you, otherwise, stay away. ### 1/5 — Thanks for ruining my timed event *2026-06-21, version 3.7.4* With your request for a review. ### 1/5 — Not working again *2026-06-20, version 3.7.4* Once again, the sounds have stopped working. This causes a lot of issues, especially when timing is crucial, whether cooking or with medications. I’ve been using this app for years and have really enjoyed it and it’s been so helpful. Lately it has been quite troublesome and has caused quite a few issues. Please look into this and take care of it. It would be greatly appreciated by everyone that uses this app. ### 1/5 — No alarm-sound functionality on free version *2026-06-16, version 3.7.3* So you might not even get notified about important timers. The most it can do is send a silent notification to your Apple Watch. ### 1/5 — Stop my music on spotify *2026-05-28, version 3.7.3* When the application is running, it now stops my music all the time. Since the last update, nothing works anymore. I'm going to have to change applications because of this. ### 1/5 — Really? *2026-05-24, version 3.7.3* Not possible to try this app out as the adds pop up befor a timer ends. Once the add pops up it is impossiblee to cancel it. Looks nice, has functionally I want, but not able to test it and there is no price listed. To bad ### 1/5 — Good app turns bad *2026-05-23, version 3.7.3* Music is does not work well with app being up. Latest update is messing up listening to music when it didn’t have that issue before ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work *2026-05-19, version 3.7.3* Doesn’t ring unless the app is open. Useless for me. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best timer Ever *2026-08-10, version 3.9* I have to say that I didn’t think I would use this timer for much but I was wrong I use it daily and I have 5 different timers that I use since I can label them specifically for whatever I am doing from diamond paintings to paint projects or just coloring in general or whatever else I want to do it counts up or down makes a lap timer when I’m walking it’s extremely simple and easy to use I would recommend it for any one especially if you are a regular diamond painter as I am . ### 5/5 — Excellent App *2026-08-09, version 3.9* Been using it for several years - on our iPad & Apple Phone. Where you can use it - it is really up to your imagination. 1) I use it as an alarm for when to start a task 2) I use it when cooking multiple items in a meal. 3) I use the multiple feature to remind when to stir, flip, etc. Easy to use! ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-08-05, version 3.9* I enjoy how you can have multiple different timers at one time. I also enjoy how you can select multiple timers at one time and start, pause or stop all at once. ### 5/5 — Best multiple timers app *2026-08-04, version 3.9* I’ve tried them all, this is the one I’ve stuck with. ### 5/5 — Like the interval timers *2026-07-18, version 3.8.2* I’ve been using Timer+ for years to keep my days and games on track, and it’s been great. I just wanted to add that I really like the interval timers. I’ve set up my chair yoga routine, and it was easier than any of the other apps I’ve tried for exercise. I especially liked the feature where I could choose my own sounds for both the exercise and the rest period. I get sensory overload from some sounds, so it’s lovely to be able to use sounds that are pleasant for me. I also used the colours, so that the rest intervals look different on my iPad than the exercises. You’ve done a great job in making this easy to set up. I also liked the edit feature where I could move the exercises around without having to set it all up from the beginning and was able to expand my routine. ### 5/5 — Highly recommended! *2026-07-16, version 3.8.1* Seems simple right? Timer app? Nope! One of the most dynamic and powerful timer apps out there, developer listens to feedback, constant updates, timer history, multiple timers, highly recommend!! ### 5/5 — | multiple timers *2026-07-15, version 3.8.1* had this feature before apple ### 5/5 — Recent Update Fixed Volume Issues *2026-07-10, version 3.8* Update: The newest update has resolved the volume issues. Thanks! Old review: The newest update that said it fixed the volume issues actually now is causing the volume issue. The app worked fine for me before the most recent update. Idk what happened here. I’ve tried reinstalling the app, which didn’t fix the issue. ### 5/5 — Review *2026-06-29, version 3.8* Review ### 5/5 — The best! *2026-06-24, version 3.7.4* I love it.
