Needed an app to track the respiratory rate of my dog. App is clean, simple and easy to use. The only suggestion i’d make is to have an option to turn of the sound ticks for each passing second. I believe the countdown and end sounds are fine, but I felt myself wanting to tap along to the clicks than the breathing rate of my pet. Slightly off putting. I did see you can lower the volume of the phone... which is a decent alternative. Solid app.

Thank you for your feedback. We have now updated the sounds in our app with the ability to customize which sounds will be triggered. The sound can still be adjusted using the volume buttons on the side of your phone.

NEED UPDATE FOR SERIES 9 APPLE WATCH

I am a nurse and was so excited to get this app on my new Apple Watch that I got for Christmas. I’ve seen other nurses use this app, and it seems so helpful. However, this app has not been updated, to be compatible with the Series 9 Apple Watch. I was incredibly bummed and would really love it if the Medtimer team could work on making this available for new Apple Watch owners. I even went to the Apple Store to make sure they couldn’t get it to work, but they confirmed that the issue was with the app, not the watch. Medtimer, please please fix this issue!!! I think your app would be so helpful as a pediatric nurse and hope to be able to use it in the future!

Developer Response
Thank you for taking the time to explain your issue. We are very sorry that you could not download the app, even after taking all that time. We can confirm that the problem was with our app not working on the newer watch and not with Apple's device. We have updated Medtimer to work with newer Apple Watch software versions, including support for Apple Watch Series 9. We hope that you can now use it. If not, please feel free to contact us via the iPhone app settings screen and we will look into the issue.

Wonderful app, but could be better

I am a vet student, and downloaded this app to track hr in dogs and cats. While it works wonderfully, I wish there was a way of changing the low-normal-high age averages to the animal perspective or even be able to change it beforehand so it knows the difference between human and animal. Just an idea, but it is a great app for the convenience of it being a timer and a count helper.

I love this app and recommend it to all my coworkers! I really loved having the app on my watch as well but since I upgraded it won’t download to my new watch. I have tried everything I can think of to fix it. I Tried emailing and checking the website but kept getting error responses saying it doesn’t exist.
