## Review summary

Nano Timer is fast, ad-free, and user-friendly, with Ao5 scoring and broad cubing-event support, plus external keyboard compatibility and a clean UI.

- External keyboard compatibility
- Clean, intuitive UI

### Cons

- Scramble generation quality is inconsistent and hard to reset for some events
- Not all events are supported yet (incomplete event coverage)
- Requests for more scramble customization and modes (e.g., turn-count control, battle mode)
