The intent/design of this extension is great, however apparently due to some bug or oversight, the timer does not continue to function beyond one refresh for higher time intervals. When set to 15 seconds, I watched the page reliably refresh many times as expected, but when set to 1 min, 5 min, etc it will countdown and refresh once then act as if no timer has been set up for the tab. You can see the active tab disappear from the settings in the extension like it is getting deleted after the refresh. So until this is fixed, it does work fine for rapid refresh cycles, but unfortunately doesn’t do what I need it to do reliably. This is on iPadOS 15.8.UPDATE: The developer kindly and promptly responded to the issue and now everything seems to be working as expected. The only other minor concern I could foresee using this app is the inability to choose where the countdown timer is positioned on the screen when it is active. For my use case, I need to see the timer, and it luckily isn’t really a problem on the page I am refreshing. However, given the size and default location of the timer, there certainly will be webpages where it gets in the way of links or page content. Perhaps this could be addressed as an added feature down the road if it isn’t too difficult to implement.

Update: We just sent a new version (1.0.6) for review. This update adds the ability to move the timer around the screen. On macOS, simply click and drag it. On iPadOS and iOS, long press the timer, then move it wherever you like. Thanks so much for the support, it really means a lot!Hi,We have just sent a new version for review (1.0.5) that resolves all the issues. It now works perfectly with any time setting, whether custom or preset.If you have any feedback or questions, you can always reach us at contact@safariwebextensions.com.Wishing you a great week ahead,Alfredo
