Do you ever want the timer to run continuously for a conference or presentation? With this application, you can freely set the timer for the first, second, third, etc. at the time of presentation. (You can also separate exercise and rest at the time of exercise.) For example, you can set 5 minutes for the first time, 3 minutes for the second time, 2 minutes for the third time, etc. When the set timer finishes, it repeats again. The timer is compatible with iPhone / iPad in portrait and landscape mode, so it can be used in your environment. Features: Up to 8 timers can be set. Remaining time is displayed for easy visual recognition. No advertisements (for now).
