Very simple and intuitive timer app. I used it to time some stretches, and it was very quick to set and use.

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.

Best timer for games. Uses your media volume instead of your phone's alarm volume, which is CRITICAL! My alarm volume is low so that it's not awful in the morning, but that makes it useless for games. Plus the default alarm tones are not good for a countdown timer.

Exactly what I was looking for. Simple build which customization fits what I envisioned (required a customizable reset time upon a simple tap so that the same time is given to each player). Thank you.

If the screen stayed on while the timer wasn't rolling (or that was at least an option), it would be 5 stars, very simple and effective, but a game like "Zilch" only requires the timer to be turned on once in a while, so I had to go into my phone settings to make the screen timer 10 minutes before playing. Not a deal breaker, but pretty inconvenient.

I love the elegant and minimalistic design. And it's great that there's a light and dark mode. While using it, I haven't encountered any ads. Give this countdown timer app a try, you will love it. Thanks, developer!

Perfect, accept for one thing. Simple easy and 100 times better than the android timer but I would love to have custom alarm feature/more choice of alarms. It brings more excitement to group games having something personalised. Otherwise perfect

You don't realize how good a proper timer is until you use a good one and this is a great one. The default android app was decent but using this makes you realize how frustrating it is for games. This has a simple restart, remembers your setting, easy adjustments, screen stays on during use, end of timer warning. I've tried other timers on the store but this is the one I always go back to

Great app, does exactly what it needs to do for a board game timer. It would be nice if there is an option to disable alert on restarting the timer.

Nice features and low battery usage. I looked high and low for one that you can tap to automatically restart the timer (playing rummikub we want to restart the timer as soon as each player is done with their turn). Love the dark option to reduce battery consumption by 95%.
