Thyme - Kitchen Timer FREE for Android
I love the separate timers for hob/oven, which are presented very visually and make a lot of sense when you have a few things on the go. Unfortunately, I've found that only the oven timer produces a sound/vibration on my phone (galaxy s5), so I have to look at the visual representation of the hob timers. If that were fixed, this would be the only app I needed for timing :)
Update 4-22-17 It crashes and is unusable on nougat. It's a great so but simply doesn't work anymore. Pixel Needs the ability to keep the screen on the entire time.
The only thing I can think to add is a way to add a timer when to start another dish , so it is done in time.
Stuck since 2014 and uses up to 194Mb of RAM. Low volume alarm and not configurable. Users are not aware of a good but undocumented feature (and this can lead to errors). Swiping circles inside of any timer clears it. Many commercial ovens have 5 up to 6 burners and app cannot hold that on configurations. There is no history of alarms what can represent a problem in case of any problem (app, user or system ) there is no clue of how many time was passed for each running alarm before crash / error.
Loved the app. But after the last update it crashes every time I try to set a timer . Will download again once issues are fixed.
Downloaded it today and haven't managed use it yet as it crashes every single time. Great app in theory, but can't even test it out.
The sounds is really loud and annoying. Wish I could pick a different ring sound for it instead of the annoying "riiinnnngggggg". Wish I could also quite it down or shut it off by using the volume keys. Other than that. I like it.
The app hasn't worked once since installing! Opens OK, but crashes every time you try to select a 'burner'. Seems to be a waste of time!
When I click on a hob, it force closes. So I can't use it. Also, I have an oven with 6 hobs and 2 ovens, so it would be good if you could change the layout. Add hobs and ovens.
But it keeps stopping when I try to use it???? Need to fix the problem pls
Just like the paid version it insta crashes.
Used to love this app on my Galaxy S6 but now crashes every time I used it on my S8. Bummer.
Will not start - keeps crashing
Literally crashed on the first load!
Love this app. Unfortunately, I had to uninstall it since it no longer works after the most recent upgrade.
Doesn't work at all with Nougat
Please allow users to swipe away the "Finished!" notification and close the app from the notification bar at completion. A popup for us to dismiss the sound and vibrate alert would also be helpful.

Gives visual representation of 4 burners and 1 oven, and you can have all 5 timers running at the same time.
I use this app for multiple purposes and works great, love the multi-surface stove look
No sound. Even after checking the phone volume settings
This is the best most useful timer app... BUT! need to be able to change alarm. I'm trying to use this in a commercial kitchen and need something that keeps going until it's turned off. After that 5 stars and is be happy to pay for it
Not just for cooking! Works great for timing more than one thing at the same time! I appreciate how it rings one long burst and then stops. That way you don't have to open the app to press anything to stop the ringing. Interface is simple and attractive.
The white on pale blue color scheme is almost invisible in daytime. Very difficult to select exact time, needs a picker.
Timer doesn't go off when the time runs out, so my food burns! I like the concept but it needs to light up my phone and make a sound when a time runs out even if my screen is locked.
My favorite thing about this app is that nearly every time the alarm goes off, it has a mini crash. No, I'm not being sarcastic, I love it. Because every time it crashes, my phone gives me a little error message telling me that, 'Unfortunately, Thyme has stopped'.
The alarm volume is linked to your phone's volume settings, so if you don't remember to check your volume settings at the same time you set your timer, there is a strong chance you'll miss it when it goes off. I haven't had to do this with other timer and alarm apps, so I don't know why it has to be necessary here. It's a shame because I like the look and design of the app. It just lacks reliability.
I love everything about the usefulness and simplicity of this app, but every time the timer goes off, I get a notification that the app has stopped working. It doesn't seem to actually crash when it says this (it doesn't force close, it stays in my Taskbar and when I tap it, it opens like normal), so it wouldn't be a problem, BUT the noise and vibration won't shut off until I've clicked the "okay" button on the crash notification and even after that for a moment. It's a little annoying!
Even when the volume on my phone is all the way up the timer is too soft a ring for me. It needs to be a lot louder. Your out of luck if you're in the next room when it goes off.

Found this app on a Reddit thread and I'm glad I did!
Does what it says
Tablet friendly please
Sometimes simplest is best, and that certainly applies to this app! The one item that I would really like to see is the ability to run in landscape mode so that it can sit on my tablet at the kitchen counter while I am working.
I use this app several times a week, usually for timing how long I want to leave clothes in the dryer. It is a two-touch task (one to open the ap, one to pull the timer hand around to the number of minutes.) My clock ap, like most clock aps, has a timer, but it is a 5 touch process.
I was going to build this app but it was already done and better than my idea. Nice work.
The interface is brilliant. I wish there were an option to keep the alarm sounding indefinitely. That would make this app perfect.
Like so...
It would be nice if as well as setting a timer, you could also set the timers to continuously count up from 0.

Used to absolutely adore this app. Now, it crashes instantly and is completely useless. Fix crashing and I will vote 5 stars. I am using stock Verizon Google pixel XL.
