Pass the Timer is a count down timer with seconds, minutes, and hours. It allows multiple timers. But what makes this timer unique is its ability to share your timer with any of your contacts. If you can message a contact, then you can send them a timer. Great for coordinating family and school groups. The timer can be shared from the main view as the timer is started or during the display, as long as there is at least 60 seconds remaining. Notifications notify the timer creator as well as the recipients, as long as they have opened their shared timer in the Messages extension.
