An app that allows a very large (effectively unlimited) number of timers to run simultaneously. Time multiple cooking pots, time the glue drying time, time the developing of a photographic print, time a time-out, time a turn in Pictionary, time a test, time the breaks between tests when you're a proctor, time a time-out, time a turn in a debate. Time anything! The app uses a dial when the device is in landscape and a digital display in portrait. A timer is very simple to set -- in landscape you touch the dial and drag the dial to the time you want. No longer do you need to scroll through a picker where you can only see several lines. If the devices is in portrait then you touch the digital display and select the time by scrolling through the digits. Creating a new timer is a simple matter of touching a button and then selecting the time scale. You can also rename the new timer and change the order of the timers in the list. A simple, intuitive icon in the list show if the timer is running and what percentage of the time is left. Great for busy cooks, hobbyists, and anybody who needs to time stuff.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Timer App holds the better App Store score, 1.4 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Timer App has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Timer App's written reviews are positive against 100% of Timers!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Timer App ships an update every 8 months, Timers! every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
