### 1/5 — What the?

*2024-10-20*

Graphically jarring, unclear how to use and inflexible. Yuck.

**Developer response:** There is in-app help that should be reasonable. Your rating is not acceptable!

### 3/5 — Over 7 years and  still no

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2020-05-29*

The gong does not work at all, I tried all the settings when the timer goes off there is no sound. Also it’s very basic, save your 5 bucks for something else

**Developer response:** The phone is on mute! Please change or delete this rating!

### 1/5 — Basic Timer

*2019-09-14, version 1.4*

This is a very basic timer. It has nothing to do with yoga. You can’t build a yoga set with it.

**Developer response:** Your rating is unrealistic, please change or delete!
