Joshua Adams		 Does not allow true scheduling. You have to set a time for the "mode" to end and then manually start it. Instead of specifying a start and stop time and the app engaging during that schedule.

Henrik F		 I like the functions, very intuitive and easy to use. BUT why does it take like 10 seconds to launch? My phone is old, but all other apps launch much faster.

pratyesh dixit		 Need some fix. Vibration/ silent mode not working properly. It's work accordingly to phone settings,not app. If phone settings (vibration during incoming call on) than phone will vibrat even SIMPLE SILENT TIMER silent mode on. Satisfied with timing manually/ count down time Thanks

Frank Nicolosi		 One of the best apps I've used ever. Simple silent timer does it all and in a simple, concise interface that's easy to use and easy to configure. I'll say this app does one thing and it does it very well. It closes the app when your finished entering and continues to run in the background. I use it to silence my phone when at church. Now, I don't go three days b4 remembering that I'm still in vibrate mode and missed 3 calls. Very easy. Very precise. I've found what I needed for a long time. Thx

Steve Messer		 The app works as expected, but it's a bit clunky. I like using it instead of a do not disturb mode on my phone. I wish with) there was a way to change the default silent periods that automatically display. I havre to just use the custom time which means extra steps. The default lengths are not useful to me.

G. Moore		 11-5-23 same. App seems to end up keeping my ringtone, noific, and system volume off for some reason. Started recently. Good app. It works and easy to use with more options than others in its class. So I would start it with the list of choices opened up. That saves a tap, but no biggie. Tap the app, then tap that time, then tap a choice..if 1 hour or less. 3 taps. Not bad.

Kurt		 Shush! user for well over a decade and loved it but it turns out it won't be updated any more. I searched & found this app, tried it & it seems close to what Shush! was. Way too many issues as of late, with the app opening every time I unlock my phone. 1 ⭐ still AND uninstalling and will be using a much better app, Sound Profile.

Brittany Cuchta		 Used to have an app like this long ago and needed one again. I wish this one had JUST silent, not DND, as I don't care to get notifications, I just want it to be silenced for awhile and automatically turn back to sound. The language in the app makes this not clear. However, the UI is lovely and simple, great little app. Recommended if you need timed DND!

Gary Pascoe		 Shush was perfect, but rule changes took away the ability to let the system mute launch the app. Too bad. Of all the apps that attempted to fill the void, this one is simple, accomplishes all the functions, and is very user friendly. The UI is plain looking but perhaps that makes it even more perfect. I don't even miss the system mute/app launch functionality.

nigel kernick		 This is perfect for me. I use it in situations when I'm being bombarded with text messages, WhatsApp or messenger notifications and I'm at work. I want to silence the notifications for a little while, but not have to remember to turn them back on. Thank you to the developer!
