Work Timer for Android
This would be great but it lags the hell out of my phone. I basically can't do anything, even text, when this app is on because of all the lag it causes on my note 3
The app is perfect for what I wanted - but my phone almost crashes from the app's lag (Developer - please fix this!)
The idea of earning and spending "play time" is motivating. I like the clean interface. Super easy to use and it sits in the notification tray too. The alarm for when play time is over uses your notification tone as well as vibrates, just make sure your volume is turned up.
I really liked the app at first, but at times when my phone would sleep, the time would shutoff. Too unreliable for any practical use from me.
... Which is horrible because I loved it otherwise, it was exactly what i wanted! Clearing app cache and closing out without using other apps that might bump the app out of the cache helps, but I wish it didn't crash and require a cache clear. Five stars if fixed!
Froze my phone immediately. Not happy.
Crash too often and alarm doesn't sound when rest time is over. Would be nice it sound/alert for both work and rest time.
This app is convenient, but: - after it's installation my background image sets to just black; - it makes my system UI crash, so I can't see android top pane.
It's good and it works for me but the timer doesn't go off and I can't see a way to set a timer so after a certain amount if time it tells me to take a break.
Would be great if the alarm actually made a noise! Pop up. Anything. Also realised the app is for some reason extremely memory intensive while running. My whole phone lags to the point of being almost unusable. Galaxy S4.
I checked the clock after 3 hours of work and it had only logged 1 hour and 20 minutes. I think it has trouble working when the phone goes idle. That being said, it is really great at keeping me on task, so long as I check my phone every once in a while. Also, the alarm definitely does not work, though the "break" minutes do go to negative.
It's a functional app and I like the way it works, but for a simple timer app, it's crashed my phone twice, to the point that I've had to restart it. On a decent phone I doubt it'd cause any issues, but might drain your battery quite quickly.
This app is exactly what I wanted and it works great. However, every time I run it my phone becomes extremely sluggish and takes up to 30 seconds to respond to inputs before it finally just completely freezes. I tried rebooting my phone 2 times and the same issue always occurs. Fix it and I would be happy to up my rating to 5 stars. This unfortunate bug makes the app useless to me.
I think this is a GREAT idea! I can very quickly see how my actions have consequences on my productivity. I find this to help me manage my ADHD: it helps keep me on track with what I should be doing. One thing I do wish was included was the ability to add in periods of time (i.e., if I get sidetracked and forget to time that last half an hour of web-surfing). Optional memo/category logs on what you do might also be a nice touch. But for now, the budgeting ability will help with keeping me to my goals!
A great idea, but when my break time runs out, instead of sounding the alarm the app starts another instance of itself in my notifications tray. Phase fix and I will improve my rating.
This isn't too bad, but I needs a reset option
It really needs a reset button! How do you set each one back to zero? EDIT- My mistake! It does! Great bit of software, now 5 stars!
I really like the idea of this timer, but it keeps going into some mode where it is recording like 10 minutes for every 1 minute. Defeats the purpose.
Great little single function app that does what it does well. Would love the feature of being able to rename the two timers (to "Doing“ and “Reľaxing“, for example), but this isn't a necessary feature, just something I would enjoy.
Great idea, great app!
The application starts crashing if you kill it. You've to clean all stored data from settings to recover. Switching from another app to work timer is also slow. On the other hand, GUI is simple and useful.
the time you work .. you earn ur break time ...
I am liking this. It would be great if you could add a feature to mute push alerts while the "work" timer is engaged.
Keep updating it's a good app!
Helps with revision
I have been using stopwatch, using the pause as my break, I shall start using this now as its a lot simpler and has a good breaks cost feature. But as previous comment pointed out get an alarm on when break finishes.
Useful but basic app that lets you time how much work you have done, and then award you with break time!
Will be using this to revise. As for additional features, I suggest an alarm feature when break count hits 0.
Really great for work; it is recommended to set 1 min break to 4 mins work. It would be nice to include a timer on it too so you could set it to alert you after 48 mins to stop working and have your well earned 12 minutes of break!
Whenever I used this app, my phone would begin suffering many errors and would freeze. As soon as I deleted it, all these problems went away.
