Review summary

Users praise Timer for Board Games for its simplicity, ad-free experience, board-game focus, reliable end-of-timer alerts, and clean design with dark mode. The most mentioned drawbacks are limited sound customization (no option to change alert tones), inconsistent screen-on behavior (desire for a persistent display), and the inability to disable restart alerts. Overall, it’s a lightweight, focused timer well-suited for games, with several welcome options like quick resets and energy-efficient visuals.

Pros

Simple, intuitive timer with quick setup
Ad-free and free to use
Board-game oriented and versatile for games and other activities
Clear end-of-timer alerts/beeps and easy restart/reset
Clean, minimal design with dark mode (and light mode) and energy efficiency

Cons

Limited sound customization; cannot change alert tones and default tones may not suit all users
Screen-on behavior is inconsistent; some users want the display to stay on, while others report it turning off
Cannot disable restart alert/beep for the timer

2025-09-26	Sa*****	Still free, still the best. Very basic but does the job it is meant for. I use it for Baby feeding, set time intervals as per the time taken by your baby for each morsel, Vibrate mode to wake/shake me up for next dose.

2023-04-21	Ju*****	The best one-touch-to-reset timer I have ever found! This app is perfect for what I need. The dark mode is very energy efficient. I have only one feature request: the ability to change the alert tone. I tried 6 apps before I found this one. I was amazed that it was EXACTLY the app I was looking for. If the author included a way to send a couple of bucks for a job well done, I would.
