### 5/5 — Very simple; I love it!

*2025-12-02, version 1.5.7*

I appreciate this app for its aesthetics & for its simplicity. It’s not distracting when I’m getting my work done.

### 5/5 — 👍

*2025-07-20, version 1.5.7*

비주얼 타이머 너무 잘 쓰고 있어요:)
공부할 때도 시간 맞춰가면서 공부하고 있고 시간을 재어 공부하니 더 집중이 잘 돼고 효율적인 것 같아 좋아요.
감사합니다😆❤️ 더 다양한 설정 기능 기대할게요!!

### 5/5 — 최고의 타이머

*2025-01-14, version 1.5.7*

심플하고 직관적이서 사용하기 편합니다. 다른 앱처럼 며칠 사용후 유료결제와 같은 꼼수가 없습니다. 기본 기능은 무료로 계속 사용할 수 있거든요. 개발자님 최고!

### 5/5 — Great app for teachers

*2024-11-05, version 1.5.7*

I love the visual timers, and this app is easy to use and looks great. Grab it!

### 5/5 — Excellent design. Perfect.

*2024-02-14, version 1.5.7*

Easy to use. Visually appealing. It's the best timer I have found.

### 5/5 — 원하는 기능 다 있는 최고의 타이머에요

*2023-11-27, version 1.5.7*

심플한 화면, 커스텀 가능한 시계 소리, 화면 색상 바꾸기, 종료 화면 전환 등 기능 혜자. 너무 마음에 들어요. 세심하게 무료로 사용할 수 있게 만들어 주셔서 감사합니다. 아쉬운 사소한 문제를 조금 말하자면, 앱 아이콘이랑 이름이 특징이 너무 없는 것 같아요. 앱 설치해두고 잊고 있다가 다시 찾으려고 한참 걸렸어요. 앱스토어 소개 이미지도 좀 더 심플한 색상이면 좋을 것 같아요.

### 5/5 — Best Visual Timer

*2023-11-03, version 1.5.7*

Working with students who have behavioral challenges I use a timer daily. This is by far my favorite. Students can help design their timer which helps them “buy into” using them. It’s worth the money. I hope to have more options for the end of timer visuals soon!

### 5/5 — 앱 좋은데 알람 관련해서 문의드려요!

*2023-09-06, version 1.5.7*

색깔도 제 마음대로 선택할 수 있고 
무엇보다 시간을 제가 조절하고 싶은대로 타이머를 만들 수 있는 게 가장 좋았어요!

그런데 타이머를 반복하는 경우 알람이 첫번째 회차에만 울리던데 제가 조작법을 잘 모르는건지, 아직 그 기능이 없는건지 궁금하네요ㅠㅠ

### 5/5 — Very nice !!!  Best timer app !!!

*2023-07-01, version 1.5.7*

Recommended for everyone !!!

### 5/5 — 이거 쓰면 진짜로 집중이 잘 되요!

*2023-06-13, version 1.5.7*

저는 매일 시간표가 있어요. 근데 계속 정리 하느라 늦고, 시계 못 봐서 늦고, 할일 못끝내서 늦고, 시간 확인 하느라 늦고, 막 그래요. 근데 이거를 한번 써 봤더니 문제가 없더라고요. 전 사학년인데 저 같은 학생들이나 시간표가 빽빽 한 사람들한테도 추천해요!
