A: Use Timer+ when the built-in Clock app is too limited for the way you actually time things. It is better for workouts, cooking with multiple dishes, productivity sessions, medications and daily routines because you can save reusable timers, run multiple stopwatches, repeat timers automatically, adjust time while a timer is running, run very long timers up to 99 days, and keep timing after a timer ends so you can see how late it is or keep going without starting over. Q: What is included in Timer+ Pro? A: Timer+ Pro is a paid tier that enables unlimited timers, unlocks the full timer history, unlocks advanced voice announcements and timer segments like Warmup and Cooldown, and removes all ads. www.timerplusapp.com/privacy www.timerplusapp.com/terms
