About Random Timer
A perfect game timer for party games like Catchphrase, Taboo, and Hot Potato, Random Timer allows you to set an interval, then start a timer that will run for a randomized time within that interval. You'll never know exactly how much time you have until the timer stops!
Features include:
- Configurable maximum and minimum values, that will be used when randomly picking a starting time
- A choice of notification methods, including an alert sound or vibration
- Continuous mode, for quick back-to-back rounds of gaming
- Easy to use, one-button interface
- Clear visual notification when time is running or stopped
- Dark or light theme
To use Random Timer, simply pick your min and max times, configure your notification preferences, and hit the "Start" button. That's all there is to it!
Random Timer is open source software. You can view the source code and submit bugs or features on the GitHub page: https://github.com/eldarerathis/Random-Timer. Pull requests are always welcome!
Permissions required:
- READ_EXTERNAL_DATA: Needed so you can use custom ringtones and music files for notifications
- VIBRATE: Allows the app to make your phone vibrate (if enabled) when time expires

UPDATE: Yep, since switching phones and upgrading it crashes as soon as I press "Settings". I just installed it so I'm unfamiliar with any bugs but my initial impression is that it does precisely what I want it to do. Thanks!

If Screen stays on, and if I don't use the back button to go to the home screen, it works. Can the back button behavior be changed? Also why does phone display needed to stay on for it to work? Thanks!

Crashes every time I try to open settings. Update: it's been 7 months since I last left my review about it crashing every time I open settings... And nothing has changed. This app sucks.

Had this app for a while and used it a lot. Had a few months not needing it, changed phones so reinstalled and now it crashes when I select Settings so I can't change the times to suit me. Real shame as this did exactly what I needed. I'll look for another one unless this is going to be fixed.

I'm trying to find an app that will vibrate all day on a random basis. This is to help remind me to relax and enjoy the moment. Fix this to run in the background and I think it will work.
