Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
App only allows up to 5 minutes. Should allow for higher dettings.
Lame that it only uses preset times. Im playing a game that needs a 45 second timer but it only has presets of 30 seconds or 1 minute. We paid for it hoping it would give us another option.
Whats the use of an hourglass app that pauses the timer to show you ads.
As we believe other users stated there are so many ads it is essentially useless. In addition you cannot even close the ads many times to use the app.
The free version is supposed to provide an opportunity to test the app. However, the ads are so abundant that it is impossible to test. We decided to pay the $0.99 as we thought it was worth the money to be able to test it. We were able to test it and quickly realized that the timer has a cap of five minutes. We need longer timers so money wasted. The app is not very visually appealing either.
We couldnt make this work, its glitchy, ads kept jumping in and we were not able to set the time. So bad.
You cannot use the free version. As soon as we press the start button an ad will pop up and the timer wont start. There is no way to even use the timer under the free version. USELESS.
Every screen click interrupts you with an add. Deleted after 5 minutes due to all the friction required for a simple use case.
The free version is impossible to use with the ads. But it isnt even worth buying because you cant pick your timer time. We need a three minute timer but this jumps from :15 to :30 to 1:00 to 2:00 then 4:00 with a cap at 5:00. We want to be able to pick our own time.
If you touch anything, it plays an ad.
Only 5 mins max time?! Refund please.
Too many ads, just annoying. Simply make it a paid app.
You dont sucker someone into buying an app. If its unusable as a free app (we need to reset the timer NOW not after an advert plays) then we delete it.
The adds that pop up after the timer expires requires you to restart the app before it can be used again.
