Forgot how many hours you worked today? When did you last replace that air-filter? Timers is a simple utility that allows you to create multiple count-down and count-up timers. Create them and start them immediately or save them for later. I use this app all the time to keep track of consulting time at work, and also in the kitchen to time entrees and side dishes; but there are so many other great ways to use it too. Get it today and keep better time! v1.2 Features List * Added user requested option to play/pause from main list v1.1 Features List * Count-down and Count-up Timers * Add multiple timers, view them in a list * Delete timers from the list * Re-order the list * Timers count even when app is closed * Loop Countdown Timers to automatically restart * Mutiple alert Sounds * Alerts can be set to repeat until acknowledged * 100 ms precision * Add detailed descriptions ***** USAGE HINTS ***** * The app will not go idle and dim the screen if you have any active countdown timers.
