Random Ticker
A simple app for board games, workout or other situations where you need to inject a bit of random in your life.
With 2 easy steps, you can create a random timer:
1. Define the interval that you want the timer to go off
2. Let it surprise you when you least expect it

Has a few bugs 1. Since last night, the displayed time stops if the aps loses focus. Have to swipe it away then start again to get the clock to start again. 2. When you stop it the reminder goes off one more random time. Have to force stop to prevent this. 3. Also since last night, the standard display is very hard to read due to the colors. Had to enable dark theme to make it readable. 4. Also since last night the alarm only goes off once making it easy to miss. 5. The repeat pop-up does not work Have to hit repeat in the app. It looks like that anyway.but maybe it is bug #1 above. Missing features 1. Only operate during certain times. Currently I have to start / start it every morning and night. 2 It seems often to forget the previous settings so you have to enter them again. Still it is a usable app for making random reminders, in a field with few competitors.
I don't know the purpose of this app. I was looking for something that can be used to train the subconscious mind by programming the app ring once or twice between intervals of 20 and 45 seconds to distract the conscious mind and get information to the gorilla directly but this just goes off once and then you have to click it to resume it. If you are tasking taking yourself to do something in the middle of a programming it wont work at all. Can you make it to be auto repeated continuously?
The app has literally a single job, to choose a random number between two numbers and to do a single thing at that point. It struggles to manage this.
The app itself could be better, with a solid flashing, for example. BUT it's the only app on the market, that servers this purpose - "alarm randomly", so I give a 5 star.
Works great. 3 things I'd like to see: /1 An option to loop the random timer /2 Set a delay between the loops (say 5 second pause) /3 An option to have time count down rather than up
There are a few bugs, described by other people better than I will, but overall accomplishes its purpose, without ads, and is free.
EXACTLY what I was looking for: I meditate twice a day, and was thinking it would be interesting to NOT know how long a given session would be--in hopes of being able to just 'let go' and let it be over when it's over. This fits the bill exactly!
I would like options to be able to go into settings without having to restart the timer again or hit the x.would also like to be able to change whether I want the visible timer to be shown or not without having to restart the timer.
it needs a repeat function. so that after the timer pings for the first time it should immediately start the count down again and repeat this indefinitely until the user presses stop.
Bookmarking doesn't work. Doesn't work with lock screen off. Doesn't play custom sounds properly.
Exactly what I was looking for. Very clean. Being able to pause, advance, and reduce the time elapsed would be ideal.
Nice app. It would be even better if it allowed to choose custom alarm mp3 files.
awesome app, I designed a board game and i needed a random timer the went off between 10 to 30 seconds and these app serves perfectly. love it.
Would give it five hours but it can only go up to 240 hours, if I could set days instead of minutes it would be perfect.
The app works, technically, but you only receive notifications if you're actively using your phone.
I only wish it had an auto restart option so that after each time the timer ended it would auto start a new timer
Does exactly what it says it does. There are no ads, and you can set any parameter(s) you like.
Pretty good - would be brilliant for reaction training if it had an auto-repeat setting
I wish it would repetitively go without having to hit the X
I would find it handy to have a pause function
Works well and what I needed for a board game I have.
Freezes if the app minimizes
Which statistical distribution are you using? Come on, I need to know :P
Not user friendly
Does what it says on the tin.
I love it!
Somehow to sound is played over the internal speaker, while configuring the ring tone the sound is played over external speaker.
This app does exactly what it should do. Great app!
Bookmarking doesn't work, and attempting to delete a boommark crashes the app. Time selection works, though—unless the random time's minimum is set as 0s, in which case it only ever rings immediately. That's another thing: the app for some reason uses the phone's "Ring & notification volume" instead of its "Alarm volume," meaning that if you have your phone set to vibrate, it will only vibrate, instead of making noise, even if it overrules do not disturb. Also, the screen does not resize to fit.
