Contact Timer Multiple Timers Support

by WMichelsen

I use a lot of “How long since” timers. Sometimes I forget to start the timer, such as when I take my meds. I may remember 90 minutes later and would like to preset a timer to 90 minutes and count UP from there. Unfortunately, this app does not permit this. I can preset a time only to count down.

Also, when a countdown timer expires, it stops after just a few minutes, so I have to use TWO timers to do what one COULD do if it kept timing after expiration. For example, I count down until the next time to take my meds but sometimes don’t notice when it expires. So at the same time as I start the countdown timer, I also have to start a count up timer to track time since so that, if I miss the countdown timer alarm, I’ll know how long my meds are overdue. A single timer could do the job if it kept timing after expiration to show how far overdue the event is.

A previous timer app I used did both of these things and was perfect but it is no longer being supported and was not updated to 64 bit. This app is functional and reliable but falls short in meeting my particular needs.

It’s okay, if this was able to have daily routines, reminders at a set time (along with a question, Begin/ start the countdown) versus you going into the app and having to start the time every time, then I would have given it more stars. This is very very basic app. It provides different sounds for notification, time is up. It just doesn’t have all the bells and whistles you would want an app to have. Daily Routines, Daily Routines, Daily Routines

What is weird is, it asks how many times you want this timer, I chose two, because I want the alarm to go off twice, but during different times of the day. Not consecutively after one another. It’s needs more brainstorming and thought on how this would be beneficial to an individual or group.

The interface for this app is nice and I like the choice of alarm sounds, but I am looking for a timer app that will give me a simple unobtrusive ding every 15 minutes (or other custom range of minutes) over a two hour period. I participate in long (2hr) meditations and just want a simple reminder (alarm) that can help me maintain my focus. An alarm which will not need turning off every time it goes off, during the two hour period. I can’t seem to make this alarm do that and there are no instructions that I can see, that might explain if this is possible with this app.
