Great meditation timer
06/09/2019

Has all the bells and whistles you need. I particularly like that I can set up a timer DURING my meditation or workout, say for example each 5 minutes I get a ping so I know how much time is left without even looking at my screen. Especially helpful with long meditations or exercises that make it difficult to look at the screen. I also love the ‘repeat sequence’ feature, and the option for warm up and cool off. Each is color coded in the settings ánd in the timer so you know what you’re looking at.Wonderful app, lots of features. I can imagine it’s great for many sports like HIIT, yoga, running you name it.

Must leave screen active to work

This app is well-built, with a clean, easy to navigate UI. Unfortunately, I cannot seem to make it work properly. The app does not work in the background or with the screen turned off. You must keep your screen on, and not open any other apps in front of this one to make it work. I'm happy to be corrected. Let me know if I'm doing something wrong.
