----- User's reviews ----- Peace of mind ***** by Aliyaan I always wanted this feature as a built-in in iOS,, nevermind, well this app is one the most useful app in App Store.. Recommending to every music person out there First review I've ever written about an app. But worth the time... ***** by Hr23331 ... To let people know that I spent WAY too much time (gee, thanks Apple App Store) looking for a timer app that plays a random song from my playlist. I use it to enhance my Pomodoro technique for productivity. I love the randomness of the app to pick a song from among my favorites as kind of an award for doing focused work.
