Users appreciate the developer's responsiveness and variety of features like loops and countdown visibility. However, multiple reviews express frustration with the free version's 2-minute timer limit requiring payment or ad watching, problems with timers stopping when the phone sleeps or the app runs in background, and issues with alarm sounds and custom sound functionality. ### Pros - Simple and easy to use interface allowing quick setup of random timers. - Customizable features such as loops, minimum and maximum times, and hiding the countdown for added mystery. - Useful for workouts, drills, and various activities to keep routines fresh and engaging. - Developer is responsive and addresses user issues promptly. - Offers sound and vibration options to notify when timers end. ### Cons - Free version limits timers to a maximum of 2 minutes unless user watches ads or pays, which many find restrictive. - Timer stops or doesn’t work correctly when the phone screen is off or the app runs in the background. - Issues with custom sounds not working properly, including conflicts with YouTube Music. - The alarm sound is sometimes annoying and insufficient; for example, it doesn't light up the screen or is weak compared to expectations. - Lack of a dark mode and inability to disable certain sounds like the loop record scratch sound. ## Similar extensions and apps - [Random Timer Generator](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.randomcorp.randomtimer) — 1,020 users - [Random Timer](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.vnamu.randomtimer) — 301 users - [Random Timer Generator](https://chrome-stats.com/d/kr.dayfly.random_timer.twa) — 143 users - [Random Timer Generator](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.ogmedia.randomtimer) — 2,760 users, 1.09 / 5 - [Random Timer](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.cvv.fanstaticapps.randomticker) — 61,260 users, 3.21 / 5 - [Randoom](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.wemmeligstudios.randoom) - [Randon Alarm Timer](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.bakerappsllc.random_alarm_timer) — 18 users - [Random Sound Timer](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.rodoapps.randomsoundplayer) — 176 users - [Behavioral Timer](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.expandedlabs.behavioraltimer) — 824 users, 4.33 / 5 - [Random Number Generator](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.alitech.randomnumbergenerator) — 21 users - [Timer](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.avryx.timer) — 179,425 users, 4.00 / 5 - [Countdown Hourglass](https://chrome-stats.com/d/rph.development.countdownhourglass) — 11 users --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.oneupp.randomcountdowntimer)
