I wanted a sand timer for meditation - both to fix my attention on and to time my meditations. Perfect! Calm and attractive background image, select the colour and time and set it running. The countdown timer at the bottom of the screen is a little distracting but easy enough to cover it with something and useful if using the timer for other things. Highly recommended! :-)

I love the different colors and that I can name them. I have a hair timer (cuz my purple hair needs alot of upkeep!) a baking timer and a dinner timer cuz the one on my oven whispers that dinner is ready. Minimal ads! This is the best sand timer! I'm off to make caramelized onions with it's help!

I have PT exercises I have to do and I have reps of 30 seconds each. This makes it so easy to just tap the hourglass and it counts down. I like it that each color can be set with a different countdown time. If you're not happy with this you're wanting way more from a small, AD-FREE no permission app than this provides. Simple and accurate and easy.

I like sand timers, and was very pleased when I was told about your app. It works in keeping the time, but I get no sound! I checked my phone settings, the app settings, to no avail. I have a Samsung Note 4, could it be your app is not fully compatible with my phone? Other then that, I would have given it a 5 star rating.

Great Water Fast Tracker! Also it is the most beautiful hourglass...I love watching the sand fall. The purple and the red hourglasses are not working properly though (cannot set time). Disappointed that I cannot set days to 100s......

T70%
by T####:

Does and behaves exactly as I was looking for. The only suggestion I would like it to be able to change the background image or remove it entirely as its hard to see at times, that and I like minimalist design.

I was really excited about this app - but sadly, the timers don't sound the audio alarm until a few mins after 'Time's up!' Most strange. More options, like 'hide numeric counters', 'choose notification sound' etc would also be nice. Very disappointed the alarms are not working as the design is great. PS. On further testing, the alarms work when staying in the app, as it prevents the phone from going to sleep. But if changing to another screen, it sleeps, which means alarm doesn't work. Not great.

What would seem to be the easiest app to program is almost impossible to find. This is the 4th or 5th I've tried. When I started looking, I would have given this 1 star, thats how bad the category is!

I70%
by I####:

I use this timer to time my studies. Therefor I paus and restart the counting a few times per day(every time taking a break). The problem with this is that it is super easy to change the time when the alarm has been paused. Because of this I accidentally changed the time for the timer many times. It would be great to have a window pop up to ask if one really want to change the timer or not before making changes to an already running (but paused) alarm. Or making it more difficult to set the timer. :)

What I like is you can hear the alarm if your not close by. You can also change the colors. Sand pours out as though it's an actual hour glass.

Amazing graphics! And it is so usefull! I use it all the time! I looks like a real egg timer! Plus there are a lot of different timers to pick, so I time so much! No lag on bluestacks, on a really slow computer! 11/10

I installed the App to be able to measure how long a mushroom trip will last. This is not a joke. When under the effects of psylocibyn mushrooms time looses meaning, especially the numbers themselves. The trip usually lasts 6 hours but you simply can't do any math while under the influence. It's an agonizing feeling, you simply cannot know how much time is left in your trip if you look at a conventional clock, 'cause numbers don't make sense anymore. An App like this can override this limitiation and provide a very simple, visual way of keeping track of time. The only thing I would remove are the multiple timers icons on the left as they can be confusing (while under the influence). Overwall very nice App.

It you like sand timers you will enjoy this simple app. I could make some suggestions to improve it, but the price is right, and it works, no special permissions. Check out their website. Keuwl! Other good apps too!

I was playing a game w/ my son which we lost the sand timer to. So this was the perfect replacement. Plus it makes a sound when times up. I also use it for other things besides games. Recommended! !!

X70%
by X####:

It's great for playing games and getting my sister to clean her room but most the time I can not hear the sound even when i put my voulume on full blast. I would rate 5 stars if there was louder choices.

U70%
by U####:

I need to add in a future date. Then the app tells me the days, hrs, min, etc. Not vs. Ijs

L70%
by L####:

But an amazing quality to add to it to improve it is enable you to do nornal date to date settings so setting it to time how long it is until christmas and still show you exact minutes and hours and days otherwise its great i would love feedback from the app

T70%
by T####:

Outstanding concept but more features like though app is closed showing the notification when time's up, sand widget for each timer, allowing month input, sound customization etc would make this app greater.

T70%
by T####:

Nice,bright and simple to use. You can run two sand timers at once (maybe more). So I set a 20mins timer and a 30sec timer for workouts. Also use it for the kids great for tv time management and slow eater management.

by D####:

Great app used for all aspects my son's life from timeouts to teeth brushing and anything in between struggles with the concept of time and this gives him a direct visual of how long he's got left x

Y70%
by Y####:

Stunning graphics, well done on that! But I want persons to know that this is so serviceable; in other words it's easy to programme and works in my view, perfectly. Listen, charge a little money and make more sensible apps unlike those other complicated apps that were so uselessly flawed. Yours: GOOD APP.

D70%
by D####:

4 stars only because I can not change the tones at the end of the timer. Would like more options other then just on and off for the sound

Pretty to look at and easy to use. Needed a timer for a trivia night I was running. This app was perfect for keeping the time between questions. I'd buy something from this dev just to show my appreciation for this wonderful timer app!

D70%
by D####:

It's a great timer with pretty colors but it has no sound for when the timer has stopped to let you know. I downloaded it for my breaks at work and was bummed because there's no timer sound when it ends. Needless to say I was late.

W70%
by W####:

i love the look of it but the sounds are not working on my tab. the settings 'button' doesn't work. how do i get the sound to work?

D70%
by D####:

I am just outstanded with this application because it helps me to make the time go faster and it is reliable and I love the colour of the sand and it can go up to a huge amount of time and I like the look of the hourglass. I like the alarm when the sand runs out and I am glad that some of the timers are green, red and purple because they're three of my favourite colours. When it is the school holidays, I set it for two weeks just to spend them up and it is the top of the class!

D70%
by D####:

I like this timer. Visually nice. What would make it better is an option to keep the screen on and a louder alarm. Quiet normally and virtually silent when the screen is off.

D70%
by D####:

This is an eye pleasing timer, If I could make two changes...improve the contrast so the visibility of the pop up to choose time on the pink and the red is improved, nearly impossible to see as is and an option for choosing my own sound for timers up.

G70%
by G####:

Add free software that is better than must "pay for" apps

D70%
by D####:

The idea is awesome as well as the features. But without any sounds it kinda is useless for what I need it.

Z70%
by Z####:

i love this app for its directness, and simplicity. all i wanted was a nice, attractive timer app that looked like an hourglass and this one suits my needs for the moment. i do wish that we could customize the time sound to something less jarring, or rather use customized ringtones or notification sounds depending on what it is we are using the hourglass for. an option to fill the screen with the hourglass, minus the digital timer at the bottom and the hourglasses on the side would be nice additions.

The alarm at the end did not alert me when time was up. Disappointed and deleting this one.

Wish it had different backgrounds like a simple black and it would be nice to be able to hide the other Hourglass's when there not being used

Not primary use, bcz doesn't alarm. Using SG5.

Great concept and animation , but needs tremendous improvement in the sounds part. Without proper notification sounds this is useless to me.

Y70%

It doesnt vibrate or make noise on my samsung s4. Please fix and will happily rate higher

It is a good thing about the same time

3 strikes and it's out. Really liked the look and feel but after three tries with no alarm sounding it's time to move on. Removed.
