Ideal for me

No timer app I've tried is as easy to use as Hiro - click, type a time, return - and your timer is started. Just what I wanted. It does one thing and does it well with no confusing bells & whistles. The developer responded quickly when I had a question. Well worth the price of a couple of coffees for an app I may use every day for years. I'll also note that there is basic volume control (High, Medium, Low) and many chime choices including custom audio import.

Great minimalistic timer but no volume control

After purchasing to unlock settings I found that there's still no way to adjust the volume of the timer, which was my main reason for purchasing. I think this timer is great, exactly what I'm looking for EXCEPT I think it needs a volume slider. I want the ability to adjust the timer volume separately from the volume of the computer, so that the timer sound is more subtle without having to turn your music or whathaveyou way down to compensate. Would rate 5/5 if included volume control.

Great minimulist timer

I use the this timer all the time but I wish that when setting a timer it would show the completion time eg. sets timer for 10m - shows completion time of 10:10am. I think this would be a sweet improvement.
