Review summary

Quickie Timer Widget is praised for its simplicity, convenience, and customization options, making it a favorite timer app for many users. However, multiple reviewers report critical issues with its core functionality: timers often fail to sound alarms or vibrate on expiry, especially on newer Android versions. Additionally, some users experience unresponsive widgets, inability to stop alarms, and low volume notifications. While the developer has attempted updates to fix these problems, users request more reliable alerts and continued support to regain trust and usability.

Pros

Simple and intuitive design requiring minimal actions to set up timers
Free and ad-free, making it convenient and accessible
Offers multiple timer increments and customization options like volume and vibration
Small, lightweight widget that is easy to use and understand
Highly appreciated for its convenience and usefulness by many users before issues arose

Cons

Timer does not alarm or vibrate reliably when time expires, especially on Android 10 and above
Alarm sound is sometimes too low or silent, making notifications ineffective
App becomes unresponsive or freezes during use, with inability to cancel or stop alarms
Issues with alerts continuing indefinitely requiring phone reboot to stop vibrating
Permission and notification settings can affect app functionality, leading to no alerts if not properly granted

2024-09-18	A *****	It doesn't make any noise when the timer expires. No alarm. No vibration. Version 11.0 fixes these issues.

2024-08-18	Ky*****	I'm really sad that this app doesn't work anymore. I used to rely on this heavily as it was super convenient. Now I click the timer and it never rings or vibrates. Zero notification that the timer ended. Developers. Is there any kind of update you can release to fix this? I feel like you just gave up on it. Is this app dead? Also. I'm seeing in other reviews you replied to you say install version 9. We'll I downloaded what's on the store and my version says version 8. What gives?

2024-07-03	Ji*****	1. Randomly switches between playing a loud alarm or vibrating when timer expires. 2. Sometimes starts a vibrating pattern that doesn't stop when the alarm is dismissed, requires a phone restart to stop it

2023-09-05	Ba*****	Installed on Android 12. Does not sound alarm, and does not allow Reload or Cancel. Does not allow to cancel alarm before alarm expires. In previous versions I used it all the time, and I think it is an extremely convenient tool. When it works again I will add stars.

2023-04-12	El*****	Didn't work at all. Timer turned orange when I tapped it, but never changed to white. After a few taps it totally froze. I couldn't change anything on the widget at all.

2023-03-25	C.*****	Dear Dev, thanks for making this app alive again... In Android 13, I have noticed some couple of issues. 1. Once the timer is up, I unable to make it stop, no mater if I click Stop or Re, it kept vibrating. 2. The timer sound is too low. That's all. I was using this app since years until it was stoped working back in when Android 10 was released. I wish you are doing well.

2023-02-14	C *****	UPDATE: Developer was kind enough to let me know there's an update to the app, unfortunately it still doesn't work, same issues, it registers the timer I select, but doesn't count down at all. Bumped the review up to 3 stars, pretty neat that they are trying to fix. Will certainly bump to 5 if it is resolved and functions like before 👍.

2021-08-25	Ti*****	Maybe I'm just out of the loop, but I'd thought timers were supposed to beep at the end. If I set a timer for 10 minutes, I expect it to announce (loudly and obnoxiously) when the 10 minutes are up. Given this one doesn't, I'm glad I learned this on my Preheat Oven timer, not my Bake Fish timer, since that would have ruined my dinner (and I was very hungry).

2021-08-10	An*****	Hey guys, i know it's a great widget but not ringing at all. The solution is that you need to give all the necessary permissions to the app by urself, mostly in notification settings. I want to thank the developer for making this awesome widget, and request you to be a little responsible for the widget, we will be happy to pay a small amount if needed. But do take care of the app, develop according to feedbacks and it will be awesome.🤗

2021-05-12	Ra*****	Amazing app, works great on my Note 8 (Pie 9). Love the different increments it offers on the timer. No ads and free... Must have app for those that have kids, play sports, and need time management. Based on reviews, not reliable on Android's 10 version. I'm currently on Android's 9 (Pie), not having any issues reported by other reviewers. Update: I'm now on Note 9 (Android 10). This wonderful app doesn't work with this OS. Hope developer can update to make it work.
