   So close to incredibly useful, but unfortunately useless. When the timer goes off, if my phone is on silent (which it pretty much always is), there is no alert sound making the timer useless. This is not how the built in Apple alarms work. My alarm will go off even if my phone is on silent because that is the entire point of an alarm. The alarms need to go off loud even if phone is silenced, or at least there needs to be an option to enable this mode of function.

2. ★★★★★slow performance and long loading times

   Pretty good timer app. Works well on the phone. Apple Watch integration isn’t where it should be though. Eg Siri on the watch can’t start the timer, only a tap on a shortcut can. Took forever to get the app to talk to the watch and still there is lag and bugs. Eg if you run a timer on the phone it’ll show up on the watch but you can’t control it on the watch. There’s no stop or reset possibility. So for me it’s a meh.

   Constantly asks for review. Constantly bugs me for a review, hence one star

   Sound doesn’t work when iphone is locked. If there’s a way to get the sound to work after your iPhone auto locks I can’t find it. When you hit the App Support button in the store page it loops you to webpage of all the developers apps and then brings you back to the store page in a continuous loop.

5. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   User-unfriendly. This app represents one of the worst thought-through and executed examples of user-experience I’ve ever encountered. Frustrating and not at all intuitive at every step of the way. So bad it almost seems deliberate.

6. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Garbage. Have to pay or give info. Lame.

7. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Worse than previous versions. Restart & Reset don’t work. Have to do it manually.

8. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Timer. Timer keeps beeping after being turned off

9. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Why?!. As just one example of how obnoxious the UI/UX for this app is, when you pick a color for an interval, the text of the label is (OF COURSE!) shown in the same color, regardless of whether that makes the text effectively invisible.

10. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    No Sound. Alerts and notifications have no sound when the timers end making this thoroughly unreliable and useless

11. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    Gotten poorer over time.. Notifications and sounds stopped working the other day. I hadn't changed anything. I've had problems for months with the app, and it's time for me to find something reliable. This app had promise, but it never delivers.

12. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    It’s a timer bruv! How can you mess this up?!. If I set a timer with no sound but turn on vibration continuously, when it goes off, and I press to turn it off, it still vibrates!

13. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Apple Watch support is poorly done. I downloaded this app to try out its Apple Watch support. Unfortunately, the Apple Watch app is not usable in real life: The watch app does not beep or ring half the time! This defeats the whole point of the watch app. Sometimes, the phone app beeps or rings, instead of the watch app. If I am away from my phone, and start a simple countdown timer on the watch app, then half the time, it counts down, but doesn’t actually ring when completed. This makes the watch app completely unreliable for any real life purpose. Giving the app one star because all of this should’ve been found during testing. Other similar apps don’t have this problem.

14. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Don’t buy. Useless in silent mode. Stick to native clock.

15. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Good But…. I wanted to like this app…I really did. I need something that I can set to repeat indefinitely so I can help get my son potty trained. I loved it at first and it’s very customizable! But my phone sound has to be on at all times! I get A LOT of spam calls so my phone is permanently on silent mode but I still get text sounds and other system sounds that play. Just not the phone ringer. This app will not sound unless my phone is on ring and I hate that. This would be so much better if the sounds played even when my phone is on silent! I deleted the app immediately after I figured that out. When the developers can make the sounds go off when my phone is on silent I’ll change my review.

16. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Seriously? Traps users at paywall. I'm exploring time apps and I don't mind paying a reasonable price for a decent application. However, in checking out MultiTimer I found myself trapped at the paywall when Looked to see how Cloud syncing worked or anytime I sought information about its cost: A window opens up with the infomration (and the price is not unreasonable) BUT the only way to move away from that window is by going to the Mac's Activity Monitor and hard quitting the application. That leaves a very sour taste in my mouth and tells me that this is not a user-friendly developer. It also has pretty much dissuaded me from looking further into whether the app will meet my needs. I'll look elsewhere and likely spend my money there.

17. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    Widgets. Widgets not working. Working widgets text too small.

18. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Confusing to use.. Looks nice but Needs some documentation.

19. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    No Alarm Sound. Regardless of settings, the alarms will not sound. I’ve made sure the volume is up all the way, the ring switch on ON, and followed all the instructions in the Help file, all to no avail. It’s pretty, but useless. I’ve deleted it and gone back to the standard Apple Timer App which is simpler but reliable. Response to developers response: The help file used was under the hamburger (the three horizontal lines, one above the other, on the upper left of the screen). Hamburger > settings > help. It is just below the walk-through tutorial link. As to deleting the app, I am not in the habit of keeping unused and/or unusable apps on my devices.

20. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Broke my watch. After a recent update, this app broke my watch. My watch went haywire while using this app. Tried hard reset and my watch wouldn’t restart. Finally got to a point where it would restart but went straight into erase and factory reset. After finally getting my watch restarted fresh, tried to install this timer and it absolutely will not install correctly, won’t sync. Had to uninstall completely and cancel subscription.

    Features do not work properly. The timers do not properly warn you when it has been completed. The biggest issue is the ending of the timer. The alarm does not continue, even when you check off continues alarm. Using a feature such as autocompletion, where the timer is supposed to stop once the alarm goes off. Yet it continues to go on. The repeat feature does not work either. All setting are turned on for MultiTimer as well. If the Yorkers properly alarmed you once a task is complete this app would be amazing as everything else works as intended, yet the issue is so large I cannot use the app.

22. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    Alarm is broken. The alarm doesn’t ring when the app is in background mode

23. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Randomly doesn’t make a sound. When I first got this app years ago it worked flawlessly. But they keep updating for some reason and sometime in the past year introduced a bug where it will randomly not make a sound when the timer goes off. It may not even show a notification or badge the app. This is whole point of this app and they broke it somehow.

24. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    Buggy and cluttered. Latest update adds more clutter to the notifications by adding the time next to the name of the timer. Timers that are reset or snoozed from the Lock Screen continue to sending alerts until the app is opened and reset from the app, which defeats the purpose.

25. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Was good. Widget got removed again!

26. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    One big problem. This app looks like it has fantastic potential, but for whatever reason I never hear the alarm going off unless the phone is unlocked. That’s a pretty big problem for me. Maybe it is my phone’s settings, but if I can’t hear the alarm when the phone is locked I can’t use this app.

27. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Not suitable for macOS. Almost, but not quite. This app is listed for MacOS support, but I am not able to rename the timers or adjust the time length. I would love to use this on my computer, but unfortunately, I will have to find something else. I am sure this is great for Android and iOS.

28. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Alarm doesn’t ring. The alarm doesn’t ring unless the alarm app page is open on your phone. If the app is open in the background, the alarm won’t ring.

29. ★★★★★a needed feature is missing

    Widget doesn’t work.. I love this app but I really need the widget to work and it just doesn’t 95% of the time. The timers either don’t show at all, or they show once and keep counting down after the timer is reset. Even if the timer is reset and started again, it doesn’t display on the widget.

30. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Bug on the Apple complication. There is a bug refreshing the Apple Watch face..
