The only professional timer application that allows you to customize the logo, background, sounds, and displayed text within the app, and ALSO allows you to upload your own images to use as logos or backgrounds, or your own custom sound files to use with the timers. Developed primarily for use on AppleTVs, the iOS version contains the same feature set in case you need to carry your timer while traveling or training in another location. - Use built-in or uploaded logos - Use built-in or uploaded backgrounds - Use built-in or uploaded sound files - Up to Four customizable lines of text on the main timer screen Because Apple's App Review has become obtuse, the following information is here because the App Review team consistently states that the links in the app, which are quite functional, do not satisfy the following requirement: The submission offers auto-renewable subscriptions but does not include a functional link to the Terms of Use (EULA) in the app's metadata. If you are using the standard Apple Terms of Use (EULA), include a link to the Terms of Use in the App Description. If you are using a custom EULA, add it in App Store Connect.
