## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 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.

### 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.

### 1/5 — Suddenly doesn’t work

*2019-04-11, version 2.7.10*

Voice does not work

### 1/5 — Doesnt Have a Sound

*2017-06-06*

No voice countdown, which is the only purpose of the app...

### 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.

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

*2020-07-28*

Thanks

### 4/5 — Works alright

*2018-08-13*

If I’m playing music it turns down the music a little bit but is hard to hear over a speaker. When wearing headphones I can hear it better. Would be great if I had the option to either control the volume of music (turn music way down during the countdown) or have the music pause during the countdown.

### 4/5 — Great App!  Just needs more options and Instructions.

*2017-09-25*

This app works great for me, exactly like I wanted it to.  But it just needs a few more options, like a 20, 30, or 60 second countdown would be nice (though I suppose the voice would have to be sped up to the saying of the number within one second).  I gave it four out of five stars due to the lack of ANY clear instructions on how to create your own custom timer announcement sets.  The Edit, + (Plus), and Magnifying Glass buttons are not intuitive at all.  I figured it out eventually, but I’m a pro user, I can’t imaging non-pro users like my mother figuring out how to create a timer to speak every minute when 30 minutes are left.  Good luck in making it easier.

**Developer response:** Thank you for waiting. Please use version 2.7. However, 20 and 60 second countdown have not been added.

### 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

### 5/5 — Very good app!

*2022-11-14, version 2.9.6*

Thank you,

### 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.

### 5/5 — Great for kids!

*2014-04-27*

Announces time left every 5 minutes, then at 3, 1, 30 seconds left.
