Timer+ · Multiple Timers Reviews

by GInaBlick

The interface for TimerMultipleTimers 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 TimerMultipleTimers.

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, TimerMultipleTimers 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. TimerMultipleTimers 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 TimerMultipleTimers 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.

TimerMultipleTimers has a weird problem where it doesn’t always register changes to a time duration. For instance, if you have an existing timer that runs for 30 mins, but you decide to change it to 20 mins, if you hit start too quickly, then the timer runs for 30 mins (showing a duration of 30 mins, so at least you can catch it, stop the timer, change it back to 20 mins, wait for the new duration to register, then hit start).

This is still my favorite timer app, but I’ve started killing TimerMultipleTimers (double-clicking home, then swiping TimerMultipleTimers away to kill it), because at some point either it started chewing through my battery, or our new wifi system (Google Wifi) is draining my battery. In the last 7 days TimerMultipleTimers has used 23% of my battery, and 15% in the past 24 hours.

Otherwise, a great app!

I love the ability to preset multiple timers and stopwatches and label them. I also like the edit feature that allows you to drag and drop your timers/stopwatches into the order of your choosing. However, I have discovered a bug with this feature. The timer/stopwatch that you drag and drop changes its name and type to match that of the entry directly below it, and after that, those two timers/stopwatches become linked so that if you start one from the list view, the other automatically starts as well. It super annoying but not impossible to work around. You just have to create all your timers/stopwatches in the reverse order of how you want them to appear on the list.

Great, simple timer app, but the recurring timers are a game changer. I need to regularly hydrate while I take a specific medication, and the 4 min intervals for an hour are perfect for me.

My only knock on TimerMultipleTimers is that the Apple Watch interface is broken. It forgets my active timers as soon as an alert goes off. Since I don’t always have my phone with me, I need something that can go to my watch. I know Apple Watch development isn’t always a top priority, but I think a timer app should aim to be pretty well integrated.

As a baker I rely on TimerMultipleTimers for its ability to have multiple timers running at the same time for the different items I have in the oven. For the most part it works great, however, sometimes when I reset a timer and add or subtract minutes to the timer it will keep the old time. For example, I reset a timer that had started at 6 min down to 4 min. When I press start, it resets itself back to 6 min and counting down from there. It has caused issues with my work because I don’t notice the timer being wrong because I expect it to start at the time I set it to. Those few minutes difference can cause pastries to burn. Please fix!

TimerMultipleTimers is simple and very easy to use and allows you to adjust the title as you desire (surprisingly a lot of timer apps don’t allow that). There’s only one thing that I don’t like about TimerMultipleTimers and it’s causing me to search for another one is that Timer+ has their “stop” button where you’d want the “pause” button. It’s a small thing but makes all the difference in the world when I need to quickly pause my timer and it just disappears.. I’d love an update on that if that’s not too difficult to do!! But other than that thank you for a very useful app!

Works Very Well . 😊 Just need to make sure iPhone is not on Silent - as it needs the Sounds enabled ( and Notifications enabled ) - in order to Ring . 😊 Also - the Ringer Volume should be high enough - to where you can HEAR it !!! 😊 Only place for improvement : it only rings for about 2 minutes and it STOPS . So - if you are away from the phone for longer than that - you may not hear it . I would suggest for future versions : to keep it ringing for about 20 minutes - same as the iPhone built in Alarms !!! 😊 Enjoy !!!

I haven’t checked out many other timer apps. So far, I haven’t felt the need to. This one counts up; it counts down. It counts up by intervals, as many as I want (eg, eleven 30-second intervals, with a sound of my choosing at each interval). I’m not sure how many timers I can configure and save. I haven’t reached the limit yet. Big numbers in the display for when the activity being timed requires me to be without my glasses. Everything I have needed so far.

This timer is exactly what I was looking for. I play a game on my iPad and have to keep track of times for many different things. I was using a timer that let me time one thing. I would forget what the timer was set for and what thing I needed to set up next. With this, I keep track of many tasks and each timer can be labeled so I know what it was for. And, it’s free, but if you want to get rid of the ads, it’s a one-time, very reasonable purchase. Highly recommend.

I don’t know why it is SO HARD for people to build an app that allows a simple repeatable timed chime that
1. Doesn’t crash constantly
2. Has a simple, functional UI
3. Doesn’t lock every usable feature behind a paywall
4. WORKS WHEN THE SCREEN IS OFF

I went through about an hour of searching and MANY apps to find this and it just works and it’s fantastic. (Which is an admittedly very low bar to be excited about, but TimerMultipleTimers Store is cluttered with so much freemium blatant cash-grabs and half-supported functionless garbage to wade through, something like this is akin to finding the not-rusty toaster in the thrift shop amongst a pile of toasters that are missing knobs or catch fire when plugged in.)Should the built-in iOS app have this BASIC functionality under the clock OR reminders app? Yes. Am I frustrated with and blaming Apple for not having this extremely simple and obvious feature? Also yes. Does this detract from TimerMultipleTimers doing /exactly/ what it says it’s going to do and doing it well the first time? Not in the slightest.

TLDR; if you need a chime set to an interval that lets you lock your phone while in use, just get this. Reasonable, non-intrusive banner ads are all you have to contend with. Everything else just works. Take note other devs (who I’m totally sure will ever see this review).

But PLEASE somehow work on an option to allow the pause/resume button to be in the center bigger than the reset button. That’s probably way more trouble than it’s worth, and I guess the reset button being red was a nod to the same idea, but nothing is worse than losing your timer because you’re working on something and so only quasi-paying attention and your brain just tells your finger to press the big button in the center.

TimerMultipleTimers is excellent, folks. High quality, just works and is exactly what I was looking for. Tracking time is key for those with ADHD and other disorders or injuries that cause our estimate of how long tasks will take or our ability to effectively estimate the passage of time go all out of whack. TimerMultipleTimers lets you time your tasks or set a timer for your tasks. It’s awesome, thank you!

For feature requests, I’d love to see the ability to chain related timers together so that when one ends, the next one starts. I’d also like to sort timers by color. More colors, too, please! Last one - if I buy the premium version, I’d like to have my timers populate on all my iOS devices. Real time synchronization would be awesome but at least having the same set up on iPhone and iPad seems basic. I’m not seeing much Apple Watch integration, either, but maybe I’ve missed it - I would like to select and start and monitor timers from the Watch.

Overall, it’s an awesome app, I use it daily and highly recommend it.

Great app to have multiple timers. Great job and keep it up.

I have a suggestion - is enabling an account for customers for TimerMultipleTimers that allows them to sync across multiple devices on one of your future plans? I think having an account and syncing between multiple devices will be helpful for everyone. If the spouses do many things at the same time (Washing & drying clothes and cooking dinner), both will check on the timer. Once one of the tasks is complete, he/she can mark it complete just to save our time from communicating with one another.

Easy and simple to use. Comes with colors (optional) to identify your different timers. Also you can label each one of your timers. I use it for a lot of different things like dishwasher cycle (I like to take things out right away), some medication that can’t be mixed with other things until a certain time has passed, exercising (I do a certain amount of minutes a day), etc. I have many timers set permanently and then I have others that I use and then discard. I love it! Keeps me on top of things. I highly recommend it.

Lets you set the alarm to sound ONLY once, so if you are meditating as I do, I know that I’ve reached my minimum amount of time and can keep meditating without having to break out of my meditative space to stop the alarm from ringing. I use the wood block alarm sound because it is the gentlest sound I could find for Signaling the end of a a meditation time period.
It's free with ads but I purchased it just to support this company because it is a gift for me to have this. I use it for meditation all the time. Ir’s noninvasive because I can set many different sounds and they don't have to keep sounding, until I physically interact with them, unless I wish them to.

Love this timer app. It allows multiple timers running at the same time. It has the option for timers repeating like for taking cold or pain meds every 4 hrs.; I can set reminders for my girls to drink water at regular intervals throughout the day or what have you. I set a timer for laundry because my washer and dryer are in the basement and I can’t hear when it is done. I set a timer for 55 mins that repeats based on the loads I want to do that day. Keeps me on task to get them done in a timely fashion. Many fun alarms to choose from. You can set them to sound one time or sound repeatedly for 30 seconds to make sure you hear them. Like no other timer I’ve seen before. Very useful!!

TimerMultipleTimers is the best timer app! It has timers, stopwatches, and multiple timer/stopwatch support. I can also just name a timer (ex. “Eggs”) and then add a color to the timer so it can be sorted and easy to find and then I can start the timer whenever I want and if I need to, I can just add 1 minute to it wi to out stopping it, but instead with just a click of a button. There is a Pro version that is $2.99 but TimerMultipleTimers is usable without it (I bought it though) because all it brings is no ads, Apple Watch app, and full widget access (More than 1 on each widget) but buy it if you can! The devs work hard and they deserve it for making such a wonderful app!!!

by Lewdmeat

I don’t use much else with TimerMultipleTimers (but it has a LOT more, like timers and alarms) but the stopwatch feature here is perfect! You can save and rename multiple stopwatches at a time, which is perfect for my hobby here in quarantine. And unlike the normal iPhone stopwatch, you can’t accidentally reset it with a slight button press! You can also select multiple at a time to start/stop them seamlessly. The ads are also not a problem at all, and while I haven’t done this yet, I can definitely see myself paying to remove the ads in the future, just to support the developers for this amazing app! If you’ve been looking for the perfect stopwatch/timer app, then look no further! You have found the holy grail of them.

I loved this timer, as a teacher having the pre-saved times ready to go is clutch! I used it everyday in my classroom for a long time, then out of nowhere one day, after the same use as always, after my students timed reading was completed TimerMultipleTimers starts yelling at me telling me I have been selected for a survey... I was totally ok with the ads in TimerMultipleTimers on screen... as soon as the ads became an audio obtrusion TimerMultipleTimers was deleted. Very disappointed, and I will not recommend TimerMultipleTimers to any other teachers due to the obnoxious audio ads. Not a great choice developers. Especially after apple just released the new timer with seconds built in... TimerMultipleTimers doesn’t really provide anything else worth the assault on your ears.

Restoring pro doesn’t work. Even though I paid to remove ads when TimerMultipleTimers was installed on an older ipad, my students are still subjugated to banner ads during class time. I’ve deleting TimerMultipleTimers and reinstalling, and restoring, the works. I can’t get rid of the ads I paid to have removed.

Besides that, though, I like having custom alarms set to various colors that have a variety of silly sounds as alarms. The kids, caught unaware, usually find themselves laughing at a cow’s moo or an elephant’s toot instead of the normal chime. Would love to have more added to these sounds someday.

by JudyQFU

This is the best of all the timers I’ve tried. Setting several timers and naming them is the best idea. I’ve tried other timers and they count down and send an alarm, but sometimes I’ll forget what I set the timer for. Because I can give that specific timer a name, I know what it was I was supposed to do. This comes in really handy for a game I play when I have several things I need to do at different times. When I need to make a phone call at a certain time, or check the washing machine, or even what’s in the oven, it’s just awesome.

Useful that I can set multiple timers, even at the same time, can set a timer with a swipe (or turn it off), and can easily add more time.

Would like to be able to change how much time can be added to each timer.
For the swipe to start a timer, the swipe can be confused as a swipe to start a quick timer; I'd like to be able to turn off the swipe down for quick timer or set a new action to start it with, or set a new action to start regular timers.
