Timer+ · Multiple Timers

This app is excellent, folks. High quality, just works and is exactly what I was looking for. Tracking time is key for those with ADHD and other disorders or injuries that cause our estimate of how long tasks will take or our ability to effectively estimate the passage of time go all out of whack. This app lets you time your tasks or set a timer for your tasks. It’s awesome, thank you! For feature requests, I’d love to see the ability to chain related timers together so that when one ends, the next one starts. I’d also like to sort timers by color. More colors, too, please! Last one - if I buy the premium version, I’d like to have my timers populate on all my iOS devices. Real time synchronization would be awesome but at least having the same set up on iPhone and iPad seems basic. I’m not seeing much Apple Watch integration, either, but maybe I’ve missed it - I would like to select and start and monitor timers from the Watch. Overall, it’s an awesome app, I use it daily and highly recommend it.

I bake bread at home a lot so I need to keep a running list of timers for the various steps that I'm at with the breads I'm baking. This app makes life 800x's easier than my previous method (shell scripts with Cron jobs and text messages). There are two things that I would like to see: 1) The Apple watch version to be more robust. Right now I can't get it to sync my timers and I'm not sure why, but being able to add a quick timer would be fantastic. 2) Timer groups. Having the ability to separate my timers into groups of timers would allow a cleaner separation of timers with less verbose names (eg. I can call a timer preferment in an Italian bread group and the same in a sourdough rather than how I have to do it now, which is Italian preferment and sourdough preferment). It'd allow a cleaner separation of what's being times even for things like medications, dinners, board games, etc. I personally find myself with 20 timers regularly with 3-5 running at any one time. Again this app is fantastic, but the latter missing feature almost prompted me to write my own or keep my previous process. However, after using the app exclusively for a little over a month I decided this worked "good enough" for the time being.

***Updated to Five Stars with the new improvements!! They used to be wish-list items but now they're incorporated - the author listened and responded with the added features I was hoping for below - Thank you!!*** Handles multiple timers very well. I purchased the full version. Also it shows you a counter indicating how long it's been since the timer went off - and now it keeps counting until you clear it which is awesome! The author is continually improving the functionality. Previous WISH LIST for the Author: **Now Included** #1: Please incorporate the ability to make your iPhone chime even if a Bluetooth headset is connected. (My headset is frequently in my pocket) ***Update: Now this is included!!*** #2: It would be nice if that expired-timer counter continued counting up until you *actually tap to clear* the original timer. (It's really nice knowing how long it's been since you were supposed to do whatever it is you're timing... and then clear it once the mission is accomplished.) ***Update: This feature is now incorporated and you can choose how it behaves in the control center!!*** #3: For the Apple Watch ~ It would also be VERY helpful to be able to at least Start & Stop programmed timers. ***Update: Now it's incorporated!!*** This is an excellent app and as picky as I am, I feel no need to look elsewhere!! It's well worth the paid version to support the author for the excellent app!

I use a lot of “How long since” timers. Sometimes I forget to start the timer, such as when I take my meds. I may remember 90 minutes later and would like to preset a timer to 90 minutes and count UP from there. Unfortunately, this app does not permit this. I can preset a time only to count down. Also, when a countdown timer expires, it stops after just a few minutes, so I have to use TWO timers to do what one COULD do if it kept timing after expiration. For example, I count down until the next time to take my meds but sometimes don’t notice when it expires. So at the same time as I start the countdown timer, I also have to start a count up timer to track time since so that, if I miss the countdown timer alarm, I’ll know how long my meds are overdue. A single timer could do the job if it kept timing after expiration to show how far overdue the event is. A previous timer app I used did both of these things and was perfect but it is no longer being supported and was not updated to 64 bit. This app is functional and reliable but falls short in meeting my particular needs.

I don’t know why it is SO HARD for people to build an app that allows a simple repeatable timed chime that 1. Doesn’t crash constantly 2. Has a simple, functional UI 3. Doesn’t lock every usable feature behind a paywall 4. WORKS WHEN THE SCREEN IS OFF I went through about an hour of searching and MANY apps to find this and it just works and it’s fantastic. (Which is an admittedly very low bar to be excited about, but the App Store is cluttered with so much freemium blatant cash-grabs and half-supported functionless garbage to wade through, something like this is akin to finding the not-rusty toaster in the thrift shop amongst a pile of toasters that are missing knobs or catch fire when plugged in.)Should the built-in iOS app have this BASIC functionality under the clock OR reminders app? Yes. Am I frustrated with and blaming Apple for not having this extremely simple and obvious feature? Also yes. Does this detract from this app doing /exactly/ what it says it’s going to do and doing it well the first time? Not in the slightest. TLDR; if you need a chime set to an interval that lets you lock your phone while in use, just get this. Reasonable, non-intrusive banner ads are all you have to contend with. Everything else just works. Take note other devs (who I’m totally sure will ever see this review).
