### 5/5 — Perfect

*2026-05-12*

Why did I have to search through dozens of other dumb timers before I found exactly what this one does?! This one is so simple and clean and exactly what I needed! I use the timers in my gym for Group workouts. It’s perfect!

### 1/5 — Do not use

*2025-11-23*

You have to clear the notifications 4 to 5 times after closing the app. It’s extremely frustrating.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback, and I apologize for the frustration.

Notifications should be automatically cleaned up when you open the app. If you're seeing multiple notifications that persist after opening TinyTimer, this may be related to the repeat notifications feature.

To help resolve this:
1. When you open the app, all expired timer notifications should be removed automatically from your lock screen
2. If you have "Repeat Notifications" enabled in settings, multiple notifications may be delivered for a single timer — these should also be cleared when opening the app

If the automatic cleanup isn't working for you, please contact me at felix@tiny-timer.de and I'll investigate this issue further.

I'm also planning to add an option in a future update to show alerts instead of notifications, which will give you more control over how timer expirations are displayed.

Thank you for using TinyTimer!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t sync timers with watch

*2025-05-30*

Despite the description this app doesn’t sync timers with your watch. All I want to do is set a timer on my phone and have it show on my watch. This app does not do that. It just has a button that says “launch on iPhone”. How is that useful at all? I cannot believe that the ability to display/sync timers on a watch and iPhone isn’t possible on the built in app but this app is not the solution. Waste of money.

**Developer response:** This sounds like a syncing issue between your devices. Please try restarting your Apple Watch and then modify the timer on your iPhone (for example, change its color or duration) to sync it again.

### 3/5 — Timer takes more than 10 seconds to notify, making it inaccurate for small time amounts

*2024-11-21*

Great to have the complications.  However according to my tests it takes about :13 seconds to actually register a notification. For some reason it sits on :00 for >10 seconds before it notifies (when it is run directly from a complication)

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. I've noticed that notifications from watchOS apps sometimes arrive later than expected when the paired iPhone is nearby. This is a known issue, and I have reported it to Apple. I hope for a resolution soon.

### 4/5 — How to change notification sound on the watch app

*2023-12-28*

Hi, nice app! I just purchased, but how can I change the notification sound on the watch app?

**Developer response:** Thank you very much for your nice review! 😀 Apple Watch apps cannot play custom notification sounds yet, unfortunately.

### 5/5 — Please teach Apple how to make alarms

*2023-10-29*

Because Apple’s single ding and buzz ain’t enough for calendar alarms. Your system is perfect with the ding, then a bit later another ding, etc. until your turn it off. Simple, but brilliant. And effective.

**Developer response:** Thank you very much for your great review! 😊

### 1/5 — Timer besser als der von Apple… naja

*2023-09-23*

Dass der Timer besser als der Standard von Apple sein soll, kann ich nicht nachvollziehen. Beim Ablauf des Timers, ein kurzer Hinweis kann sehr schnell übersehen werden.
Bei Apple muss man den Timer ausschalten… Viel besser

**Developer response:** Die Timer - Benachrichtigungen können in den Einstellungen bis zu 10-mal wiederholt werden. Einen dauerhaften Benachrichtigungston erlaubt Apple leider nur für die eigene Timer - App. Bei Fragen oder Verbesserungsvorschlägen bin ich unter felix@tiny-timer.de erreichbar.

### 5/5 — REALLY GOOD!

*2023-07-05*

So there isn't really any problems (besides minor glitches), so I think this is a really good timer app!

**Developer response:** Thank you very much for your review! I'm aware of the timer update issue but cannot do anything about it at the moment, unfortunately. The watch face is controlled by the operating system. Apple needs to fix this issue with a watchOS update.

Regarding the timer notifications, please check if you have a focus mode or Do Not Disturb enabled on your Apple Watch. If the issue persists, please get in touch at felix@tiny-timer.de. I'm happy to help.

### 5/5 — Endlich zuverlässig!

*2023-02-26*

Nach längerer Zeit kann ich die App endlich optimal für mich nutzen. In der Vergangenheit hat es mit der Benachrichtigung ja leider immer gehakt und nicht richtig funktioniert. Mittlerweile klappt das aber endlich verlässlich. Es gibt jetzt eigentlich nur noch einen Verbesserungsvorschlag der für mich fehlt. Wenn ich auf dem Watch Ziffernblatt "aktueller Timer" ausgewählt habe, läuft dieser leider nicht dort ersichtlich mit. Erst nach Antippen aktualisiert sich die Zeit. Wäre perfekt, wenn er direkt wie beim Standard Timer sofort ersichtlich auf einen Blick runterzählt.😉

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank für deine tolle Bewertung! 😊 Das Problem mit den Timern auf dem Ziffernblatt tritt seit watchOS 9 auf und wird nicht von Tiny Timer verursacht. Ich habe den Fehler bereits an Apple gemeldet und er wurde mir dort auch bestätigt. Ich hoffe, dass Apple diesen Fehler mit einem der nächsten watchOS - Updates behebt.

### 5/5 — Einfach Klasse

*2023-01-30*

Finde Tiny Timer ist eine der besten Timer Apps im Store. Entwickler reagiert sehr schnell auf Anregungen. Jetzt endlich mit Timer bis zu 14 Tage. Sehr gute Arbeit und vielen Dank für das Update. 1A+++++++.

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank für deine tolle Bewertung! :-)
