## What is Timer Target?

Timer Target is a Timer app with a twist...

You set a target time and the timer counts up to that time (rather than down). Once the target time is reached it sounds an alarm and keeps counting (and displays the time you've gone over). This very handy for having a target time but you also need to know how long that task took regardless if you went over or under the time.

One example is to use Timer Target as a shower timer. Say you want to have a shower time of 4 minutes - just set that as your target time and you get a visual representation of how long you have taken and how long to go (the green ring). As the target time approaches you get some warnings (you set how many) and then an alarm when the time is up. The timer continues to time until you press the stop button so you know how long you went overtime.

It also features warnings as well as an alarm when the time is reached. A repeat option will continue to to count to the target time until you tell it to stop.

### 3/5 — Doesn’t Survive Close/Reboot

*2022-09-05*

I really like this app but it has one fatal flaw: the timer stops/resets if you close the app or the device is powered down/rebooted. Kind of undermines the functionality if you have to check the timer before such an event then set a new time to continue counting; that’s assuming the reboot is voluntary or you meant to swipe closed the app.

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2020-10-15*

This is exactly what I was looking for but I would LOVE it if I could do multiple timers and give them names that would be ideal!

### 5/5 — Almost Perfect!

*2018-11-21*

Count up and overtime. Alert and warnings. Visual image. Just perfect. If only it had countdown timer...
