Feb 3, 2021 By Gwylan ScheerenReally like the app. However I would very much like the option to start the count-up timer starting from a set time. When I want to track a process that has already started e.g. 10min ago. -
Best timer yet!
Aug 10, 2016 By BenlbsExactly what I was looking for! I spent over 15 mins searching for a good timer to alert a speaker when he is about to go over his talk/part at the Kingdom Hall. The numbers are HUGE, and the best part is the giant red screen saying "time's up." Thank you for an awesome app that I will use on a regular basis. more -
Feb 17, 2021 By Talha BIts appearance was impressing but it has a setback. You cant use it for long durations . For example, not more than 99 minutes -
Update crashes on launch
Oct 21, 2017 By HooovI LOVED this app, but the new update crashes on launch, on an iPad 2 running iOS 9. Update: after a couple times deleting and reinstalling the app, it’s back to the timer I love! Just wish it went longer than 99 mins. -
Feb 16, 2021 By John BenninghoffBeautiful design, easy to use. I wish it would ring the bell even if running in the background. -
Jun 17, 2020 By Randy WhiteThis is EXACTLY what I wanted! I had to download a dozen other timer apps before I ended up finding this one, now I can delete the rest because this one is it! Large display, option to turn on ticking sound, easy to start and reset and even a visual "Time's Up!" message displayed on the screen when time's over. Very pleased! more -
Love this app!!!
May 30, 2013 By Chris ElrodI am a preacher and speaker. I have used every countdown timer app in the store for keeping my sermons and speeches on track. Minimalistic Countdown Timer is by far the BEST!!! It is easy to use, big display for easy viewing and a bright red background when it's time to stop talking. I also use this app in meetings to keep them on track. more -
Jun 17, 2019 By Ramabadran JagannathanI was looking for a timer with a single chime that would not need personal interaction to stop the sound. As the name given aptly it is simple and this is the timer that suits my purpose very well. The display is full screen and "always on" really helps. Since I saw someone wanting a longer duration sound, you may think of adding number of repeats as a choice. Kudos and thanks very many. more -
Oct 24, 2019 By Jeza AlexaAlmost exactly what I'm looking for. Only if we could set timers right after the 1st countdown is set. For example, after the 10 minute countdown it continues to the next 10 min or 20 minutes that I set. I'm gonna use this for our church service. more -
Jul 11, 2020 By Sumit RawatThe app suites to my basic need only feature I need is to increase the time interval of tick in UNIT STYLE of display. Current tick interval of may be 1 second.... myself should need ability to change the interval and can be put 2, 3, 4 or more seconds. One more feature required on lower priority of showing application as small box in corner of the mobile screen on top of other application. The small box that contains 09 application can be move in anywhere on mobile screen. Thanks for app more

Not minimalist
Jun 16, 2016 By Frick36The purchase display made it look like you could have a minute count without the distracting seconds count. But I can see no way to set this up. The last thing I want while giving a presentation is to have the seconds count flying by! more -
Sounds
Mar 19, 2021 By Disney weirdoIf I paid for an app I'd expect some selection different but this only has the default bell sound. Additionally the volume is so low even when paired to a Bluetooth speaker it is not loud at all. -
Dec 7, 2020 By Josh BrookesI had high hopes for this one as it had 4.6 / 5.0 and came here to read the reviews just like you are now. What they don't tell you is, whenever the app is counting down if you happen to receive a phone call or text message and you answer that call or reply to the message the count down stops and the app closes. Absolutely absurd and I wish I had of known that prior to downloading it. It's a shame because the timer would get a 4/5 rating from me otherwise more

Dec 12, 2018 By CJ WalkerThis app is very basic but exactly what I need to do countdowns in my classroom. The audible last 5 seconds is great and the final "time's up" sign is perfect for what we're doing in class. -
Jul 6, 2019 By Harold BaysSo simple; makes me smile. Can easily adjust numbers by touching top or bottom of numbers to go up or down. Wish could go higher than 99 minutes. Wish could change color. Wish at end, time would continue to inform how long time ran out. Still 5 stars for me. more -
Sep 23, 2020 By Chuck FreshPERFECT. Exactly what we needed. Good ticking sound just adds that much more drama. There's no mistaking when the timer ends with a very quick and defined sound. Nice work. -
Apr 3, 2021 By Mohammad JafariIt's really a minimal timer that just do what it must do 😉 I would be happy if I see theses changes: 1. None full screen mode 2. Improvement in handy gustures

Nov 24, 2020 By Harshita DhruwI really really hope,this gets to the developer,for making necessary updates,I love this app so far especially the sound feature,been trying out alot of apps none of them had this feature BUT it would mean alot if there was a 'static'/'record' feature too,to figure out how many productive hours,I had in one day. Thank you. :) more -
Sep 11, 2019 By Дмитрий ГерманA very helpful app. I hope there is the continuous mode where it can start to count in negative when the time is over.... If that is added, 5 star will be given :) -
Nov 24, 2018 By David BermanNicely done! Thoughtful practical interface. Wish it kept counting into negative numbers rather than just saying time is up, coz it's important to know how far over you are.

Dec 12, 2019 By David PatowA good speaker timer, but loses track if the phone is blanked. Also, it would be nice if it used true full- screen mode, as the phone's navigation buttons/bar are still visible, which is distracting. -
Jul 23, 2019 By Sean KnutsonI like the minimalistic design and the handful of settings that you can change, but I wish the alarm would still sound when the app is in the background or if the phone is locked.

What’s Groovy
I’ve tested dozens of timer apps for use in professional tradeshow and conference settings, and this one is better than most. But work still needs to be done before it’s good enough to use in the field:
1. A 3-second start-up splash screen with the app’s title and logo. Really?
2. No support for switching from landscape to portrait. Half of the app ONLY runs in landscape and the other half ONLY runs in portrait. Really?
3. There MUST be an option to have the app start counting UP when the timer is done -- rather than just resetting or displaying a “time’s up” message. Speakers must be able to see how far they’re going over time -- so the count-up upon timeout feature is critical.

What’s Subpar
I have a simple requirement. I want an alarm sound every 15 minutes. That's it. I thought this app would be the answer but it didn't make the sound on the expiry of the 15 minutes. It also came to the foreground on the timer expiry, which I don't want. It also sent a goofy "Timer restarted" message at some point after being started. Possible bug.
