Review summary

Users praise the app for its simple, clean stopwatch/timer and easy-to-use interface, with handy controls. However, recurring complaints focus on intrusive ads after updates and a desire for an ad-free paid version. Reliability issues include the timer stopping when the app loses focus or the screen times out, and weak or missing end-of-timer alerts. Some note the app is generally easy and long-lasting, with a few calling for UI tweaks. Overall, simplicity is the strength; ads and background reliability are the main downsides.

Pros

Simple, straightforward stopwatch/timer that’s easy to use.
Clean UI with large, easy-to-tap buttons.
Handy and reliable for quick timing tasks.
Some users report no disturbing ads or an ad-free experience for now.

Cons

Intrusive ads introduced in updates; users want an ad-free paid version.
Timer stops or resets when the app loses focus or the screen times out, reducing reliability.
No audible end-of-timer alert or limited sound options.
Audio defaults to mute, which can be frustrating for some users.

2025-01-29	Ad*****	I've used it successfully for years as a school psychologist, but recently the addition of ads have made it difficult for me to use. Unfortunately, I have to uninstall.

2021-10-06	A *****	What an absolute pos...like u literally have one job! And it's "simple" and still u can't do it. Literally Half the time this pos shuts off in the background when using the stop watch and u have no idea it's not tracking ur time. Or if u set a timer it doesn't actually go off on time if you have ur screen off...too many problems smdh
