Countdown Timer Widget

When the Romulans have given you only 10 minutes to get out of the neutral zone you don't need to fish thru to find an app to set a simple timer. This timer sits right on your home screen and with a few presses of the buttons, it's time to charge the phasers. The display is clean neat and well done,

The behaviour of this changed when I upgraded to ICS, now instead of selecting the text when you click on it, it puts the cursor to the left. This stops you typing in anything and makes the whole thing fiddly and unwieldy, just to enter a single time takes about nine presses. If you can fix that, I'll raise my score.

It's pretty ugly and almost does the job, but my countdown just stopped mid way and now nothing can resume it. I've removed and readded the widget but it won't even open for configuration anymore. So I'm going to have to uninstall.

I use this widget a lot. Appearance wise it's good. Not difficult to use. But there is a lack of options. And the most annoying thing is that I sometimes miss when the counter has expired. I would like more features to deal with sound and volume. Also, the settings button shown in the screen shot does not show up on mine. -> Note 4

Simplistic and practical: I had used this widget in the past to mark when the guest internet network would time out. Glad I found it again as the the ability to do a simple/quick reset plus a clean widget makes this my number one go to timer.

This widget does what it's supposed to do quickly and easily, and I like the option to set the display to update at intervals higher than one second (even every minute or every 5 minutes) so as to save resources and battery life. I would prefer an option for a transparent background, but this isn't enough to make me rate it less than 5 ★s.

A lovely simple App, mostly what I was looking for. I have 3 suggestions for improvement ... (1) Add a Count Up feature. Say if a counter is started at zero - then it counts up forever until cancelled- with no notification of course. (2) Add longer counters = add days to the starting count (3) As we all know, Android has a problem with timers that require servicing frequently - it was not designed for that. So I set my timers to update every minute and not every second. If I set a timer to start at 5m 00s and the timer update interval is one minute - the timer displays 4m 59s and then 3m 59s. I think it should recognise the time interval and keep the seconds display at 00. With the above done (assuming you are still developing it) then it becomes a 10 star App. \pixel

I found this app will reset itself if you restart or Run a cashe clean. Love the fact you can name the settings for times. This will work for you if you just doing short countdowns without doing a restart. Hope they get it fixed.

Good for these. Like most widgets, it does its share of freezing, but less so than other countdown widgets. What's with all of the complaints about this widget not having days as a countdown parameter? There are more of those available than there are simple hours and minutes widgets. So download one of those instead of complaining about this one. Many people, including myself, are not interested in day countdowns.

Widget does exactly what it should. Sits on the homescreen and counts down. Works great as Sony Small App as well. Will be using it a lot as a Portal Timer for the Ingress game. You can get the last star if you can make the widget smaller and/or dynamic in size. And if you're taking feature requests; a quick "tap to restart timer" option would be nice. One tiny problem though; I'm not getting a shortcut to the settings screen on my app drawer. Had to reinstall the app to get the shortcut icon back on my

I was going to write that the ring tone and duration couldn't be changed, then I saw how to do so on the description page. Odd place to put the settings button! It should be in the pop-up window itself so I don't need to read the instructions here. But as long as I now know, and can remember, this timer gets four stars for: Ease of setting; HH:MM:SS display; tiny storage space used. It loses a star because if the device is off when the timer rings, I have to turn it on and enter my PIN before I can silence it.

Used this as a reminder for eye drops ever hour. Worked perfectly. I like that I can use recent timers or create a new one. & its small size on my home screen is exactly what I wanted. Had to go back into My Apps in Play Store to open the main app & access options menu, once I deleted the shortcut from my home screen I couldn't find it again on my phone, which was odd but doable. I have a Sprint Galaxy S3 & was able to customize the sounds & etc just fine. Thanks!

I do a lot of experiments that I use timers to manage and this app is just perfect for that! Just add some widgets and change them add you need them. The ability to add descriptions was a big selling point for me too. I also don't see any ads, it's free, and it didn't needed any permissions. The only reason I'm holding back a star is that you can't add or subtract time from the timer without resetting the timer. A minor inconvenience but I have a lot of things that I decide need another 5 minutes now and th

Why hasn't anyone else done this? Shows majority of programmers are actually really dumb people. The only thing with this is one is in my opinion, tapping anywhere outside the timer window should be enough indication that I want to close it and go somewhere else. Reach for the back button isn't difficult, but much less convenient and intuitive.

Brought my whole phone to a screeching halt. Might be a conflict with LauncherPro, but I could barely get into settings just to uninstall it.

This is/was great on my old Galaxy S3, but the new S7 doesn't have a menu button so there's no easy way to access the alarm settings anymore. I can work around it only by opening the app through the installed app list in the Play store, which isn't great. Please could you add a settings button to the screen when creating a new timer?

I want to give this 5★, and with some small improvements I will. I'd like to see: 1) Fields' contents selected on field entry (or a setting to allow it) - this way I can just start typing in a number rather than having to delete the existing one first 2) More sound options - search more system folders, and include a browse option to let me search my device for other sounds and music Thank you for your work on this product! - Nick

I like this app very much, use it daily. Just confused as to why theres a seperate icon for the settings🤔. And the photo is misleading, settings is NOT present in the widget but in a sepetate icon or via play store... pictures looks like iOS interface btw

Just wish you could change the strength / duration of the vibration reminder. A bit too strong on my Nexus 6P.

Might be a good little widget but only lets you set timers up to 24 hours, and I need a 39 hour timer. Seems to do the job nicely though for timers up to a day, which is fine for most tasks I would imagine.

Does just what I need it to although a smaller widget would be nice so it doesn't take up as much screen real estate.

Great app, would get 5 stars if it looked better or had skins. Greatly appreciate the widget refresh rate option and warning.. Keep up the good work

This widget is exactly what I need for a work project. Only issue - I'm left handed and the case I use for my tablet is designed for a right handed person (as everything is). To get around that I use my tablet upside down with the rotation locked. When I start the widget my homepage flips (upside down to me) and I either have to turn the tablet or read it upside down. Once I start the timer it flips back. It would be awesome if that one little thing was fixed. Otherwise, 5 stars!

Realy loving this widget, the only downfall is that you can't set a timer longer than 24 hour. Beeing able to set a 99 hours countdown would be much usefull without requiring too much work from the developer to change the code.

The timer gets messed up when restarting the phone and randomly stops during the countdown, so it's not reliable

Left my casserole in the oven and it burned because the timer never went off. After smelling burnt food I checked my phone for a notification of "timer expired" but no sound. Set a 3second timer to make sure and it doesn't beep when it finishes counting.
