## Review summary

Timer for Rehearsal: Fin is praised for its cross-device remote control, event-friendly features, and clean UI. However, recurring problems include shaky remote connectivity, a confusing UI after a redesign, Apple TV bugs, short-range limitations, and customization limits. Overall it remains a powerful timing tool for performances, but stability and navigation improvements are needed.

### Pros

- Cross-device remote control and syncing (iPhone to iPad/offstage control)
- Great for live events thanks to presets, clear visuals, and alerts
- Easy-to-use, clean UI across iOS and tvOS

### Cons

- Remote control connectivity issues and occasional crashes (devices fail to connect or stay connected)
- UX/UI confusion after redesign; settings are scattered or hard to find; complex gestures
- Apple TV compatibility bugs and limited/full-screen controls issues
- Limited range/connection distance for remote control (distance causes dropouts)
- Customization limitations (cannot change font/color; fixed reminder intervals)
