While in picture-in-picture you can move the window around to any corner, flick it off screen, or resize with a pinch.

more Great timer, please consider adding an option to type to enter the time. This is a bit annoying when I use it on my macOS, but even on my iPad sometimes it’d be nice to be able to type in the time. Thanks for the great product, it makes me a bit more efficient.Oh never mind, I think the cache option will be fine for reusing times so maybe keeping it simple is better!
Developer Response With version 6.0 you can now easily type your time on macOS.

Good but I’ve got Two questions/suggestions:1) could the size of the timer get any smaller than 1”x2”? You can pinch zoom the size but it stops at about 1”x2” and would be nice to go just a smidge smaller. There’s the long tiny version (it’s like a 1/2” X 4”(ish) but the sides of blank space on either sides of the clock/timer itself seem like wasted or in the way unnecessary taken up space and if that wasted space could be customized to just a tiny 1/2”x 1” border I think it would be a perfect size imo.And 2) being able to have a more or truly free placement anywhere on the screen rather than a few fixed corner positions. Every app is different and fixed corner positions can be in the way of certain tools rather than having to constantly move to another corner if in the way of workspace and having free positions to put the clock/timer anywhere would allow for a more diverse timer and make this app perfect in my opinion. I Would be giving 5 stars if these options could be more customizable. Thanks
Developer Response Those would be great but both of those suggestions are not currently possible due to system restrictions of iOS.

I’ve only use this app for a week, but I really like it however, I really wish that there was a separate reset button because the toggle in settings only allows you to choose reset every time or not and it would be nice to have the option- in both the timer & Pomodoro!! I think that would make this app really amazing otherwise right now I’m on the fence of whether to continue my subscription, because it’s distracting to have to go into the app just to reset it only sometimes. Also, I wish the PIP would allow you to make the clock smaller, so it takes up less real estate on the screen, however I think that has to do more with the iPad operating system. Thanks!

Thanks for listening to comments about the pop out timer resetting! I already loved the app, but having that additional option to reset it makes a difference when practicing public speaking over and over again.
Developer Response With version 4.1 we've added reset functionality to the Timer. You can find it in the top-right menu on the Timer screen: Reset When Stopped.
