This app is a simple timer that works to keep your show on time. Simply set the total time of your show, and the interval time (how many minutes you want to be be reminded have passed). Hit START when you start your show. Every time the interval time passes, it will vibrate in your pocket, adding an additional vibration every time the interval time passes. Once the Timer runs out, the app will vibrate continuously until you stop the timer! It will even play a chime if you need an audio cue! Works with the phone locked as well as on. Will also show you the stats via a live activity on your home screen! Stay on time, every time, with ShowTimer!
