2025-01-03	Va*****	Good animation. But 2 major problems - 1. I can't set more than 83 days. I want a custom option to set months/years. 2. No notification or alarm if the app is not open. Please solve these issues.

2024-07-28	Su*****	Edit! Real phisics!! My five year old turned the timer upside down, and the sand flows back. I never knew that! I've had this app for YEARS! So cool! Beautiful. Simple. Elegant. Effective. I use it as a timer for lessons. Let the children choose their colour. Really nice app

2023-11-18	Li*****	The look is appealing, the interface easy to use. However the sounds available are all quite similar to each other: sharp and metallic. I would have loved to use it for meditation, but I found it unpleasant ending the session with a ra-ta-ta-ta or pling-pling-pling-pling, lasting at least 5 seconds. Why not giving the option of playing the sound "just once", plus adding a soft, deep sound, like a hummm, or a gong?

You can use it in your pocket if you turn off the option to reset it by turning phone upside down. No ads, no permissions needed. Could do with one loud alarm option though.

2022-11-02	Ge*****	Thank you very much for this excellent timer. Could not be easier to set any time. The 5 second countdown is ideal. I've searched a number of timers. This is definitely the best timer I have found............. Could we please have an option to allow us to stop the timer from continuing running after the buzzer. I use this in a magic routine & cannot press RESET in front of the spectator. It would be nice to have an option that will leave the timer at ZERO once the buzzer sound has finished.

2022-10-30	RL*****	I was looking for a simple, direct yet creative timer for the 5-second rule game and after trying our so many apps, I found the right one. It makes a sound per second which adds tension to the game. Honestly so in love with it. So super easy to use. No ads too. Other apps were just annoying at best.

2022-09-25	Te*****	Beautiful visual appearance, but sometimes just randomly stops without me even touching my phone. It's a little risky to time your cooking to something that may give up before it's actually finished its task.

2022-07-04	Pu*****	I love this app. But please allow us to use notifications & alarm tones from our phone & include a statistical analysis so that we can keep track of our tasks improvement. Thank you

2022-06-06	Ja*****	5 stars for free, no ads, and sand visuals. Wish I could change the background, eliminate all visuals except background and current hour glass, attach my own audio, and multiple layers of different colored sand. I'd pay $2 for those options. Thanks guys. Helps my studying.

2022-02-22	S *****	Good idea, but alarms don't work when the phone's asleep. (Google Clock does.) Sends a notification but that isn't much use if you missed it. What's point of many days long timer when might not leave phone on that long? (If set to prevent sleeping it's awful waste of battery.) Also please have some more pleasant sounds & ability to change loudness. If these issues can be fixed it'd be great as I'm looking for a timer to complement another independent alarm clock instead of noseyparker Google's!
