### 1/5 — Don’t see a way to set it for less than an hour; also no way to contact developer by email

*2026-01-09*

The hours go from 1 to 24, but what if I wanted set it for less than an hour? There should be a 00 option for hours. Normally, I would send this as a query to the developer, but on the app support page there was no email address. And if there was, I certainly didn’t see it in English.

### 1/5 — Not intuitive

*2025-08-10*

Can’t set up simple tell me time every 1 min for 1 hour

### 1/5 — Why does a voice timer…

*2025-06-10*

…need my location? Deleted.

### 5/5 — Finally got it to download!

*2025-04-05*

Originally when I downloaded it yesterday it said please try and now it actually downloads

### 2/5 — Needlessly complicated to set up

*2024-01-11*

How hard is it for these app designers to just… create a timer that automatically announces the time remaining at easily settable intervals? They go crazy with customizations but don’t give you a quick, easily settable basic option.

### 5/5 — Very good app!

*2022-11-14, version 2.9.6*

Thank you,

### 1/5 — Annoying

*2020-08-29, version 2.8.2*

When the timer is done, it keeps saying “Time is up.” with no way to stop it. Ugh!!! Plus, there’s no way to customize at what time interval the voice announces time.

### 4/5 — Makes it easy to know how much time I have to do things!

*2020-07-28*

Thanks

### 1/5 — Suddenly doesn’t work

*2019-04-11, version 2.7.10*

Voice does not work

### 5/5 — Perfect solution

*2018-12-06*

I’m a life model and have to hold poses for different lengths of time, and on a long pose I like to know every five minutes how much time is left. But the artists don’t want to hear that so often. I also wear hearing aids with Bluetooth, so I can use this app to listen to “time left” every five minutes and then only a few times tell them how much time is left, so they are happy and so am I! The perfect solution.
