You’ll be notified when your time is up even if you’re using another app or your device is locked. It can also repeat the sound alarm (up to 3 times) at the given interval if it was missed/snoozed.
COLOR YOUR TIME You can easily change the timer color to fit your personal lifestyle. There are 5 color themes: turquoise, red, green, amber and pink. Just pick the one you like in the application settings.

User Reviews

User reviews praise Best Sand Timer for its simple, attractive visuals, and a clear, visual countdown. It’s also noted as versatile for sleep timers, tasks, cooking, focus, and kids. However, common complaints include an alarm that often doesn’t work, a hard 60-minute limit, frequent crashes and stability issues, and UI/layout problems on devices like iPhone XR. Some mention intrusive ads or demo-like limitations in certain versions. Overall, it’s visually appealing and easy to use, but reliability and longer-duration support need improvement.

Clear visual countdown that is easy to read and helps focus
Versatile across uses (sleep timer, tasks, cooking, laundry, focus, etc.)

Cons

Alarm/sound often not working or inconsistent across reviews
60-minute maximum limit; cannot set longer timers
Frequent bugs and crashes; stability issues reported
UI/layout issues and misalignment on certain devices (e.g., iPhone XR)

I like that the timer has a silent option and that it operates with the screen always on. It would be perfect in my mind if the current time was also displayed on the screen. I would also prefer a keypad for setting the timer rather than the scroll but that’s not as big a deal to me as wanted to keep track of the actual time while using this lovely timer.

Actually works and (shockingly) the app that most resembles a sand timer. Pointless max of 60 minutes time is the only real drawback. I wanted a realistic looking sand timer but this is the best the App Store has to offer.
