User reviews

Good UI, but sometimes no sound

This app is great in that it counts down the time; BUT there are times in which it doesn’t sound the alarm. I don’t know if it’s only supposed to sound when you’ve got it open and not in another app or on lock screen. But so far it’s unreliable in letting you know when times up.

Worst UI, unusable App

Everything about this app is the worst, its UI, features, functionality and settings.
Complete waste of time

Very useful

The GUI is easy to integrate into what ever I need. Cooking, laundry, important phone calls,

Great

Sometimes I occasionally have students who have trouble transitioning. This helps when I don’t have my time timer with me.

Yay!

I bought this for my daughter to help her “see” when to go to the bus stop, but I ended up using it all throughout the day while working from home. This is a great tool for managing time better. I’ve always used timers on my phone, but it never helped me start on a task that I was avoiding. When I can see that 15 min is a small slice of pie it is so much easier to start! I also take breaks and set it so that breaks or lunch are not excuses to go down rabbit trails.
