Talking Timer now supports Live Activities, widgets and the Dynamic Island. You can keep track of your running timer from the Lock Screen, Home Screen and, on supported iPhones, the Dynamic Island — without needing to keep the app open. This update also includes improvements to timer behaviour when running in the background.

Added a "Repeat" button to allow a timer to be repeated when it is finished. One click, and you're off again! :-)

Two minor bug fixes from v 3.0

Changed the "seconds" wheel to allow 0-59 seconds, instead of the previous 0, 5, 10, 15, etc. Increased the volume of the speech. Added Terms of Use — just in case someone misses a plane and blames the timer! :-0

Fixed a bug caused by a sequence of events when adding/deleting presets

Fixes a bug whereby the volume was set to zero when loading the settings or help screen

Minor release to fix a bug where the timer could mute audio/music playing on an external speaker in certain situations.

Fixed a problem where the voice was not playing on the latest Apple OS version

Minor bug fixes

In version 2.1 you can opt for the timer to be started via a remote media/shutter button, or the device volume control. Makes it easier to repeat the same timer.

Fix for problem with timers over 61 minutes.

Added more options to the seconds wheel, increasing it from 15-second increments seconds to 5-second increments. This allows for 40-second timers (and more) as requested by a user.

Minor performance improvements

Minor performance improvement over v1.6

New version allows you to play voice announcements each minute, every five minutes, or every ten minutes in the last hour of a timer.

Minor change to the UK voices at two minutes remaining.

When adding a time using Add to Preset it now shows up selected in the preset list to confirm addition. Improved the way the app operates in the background.

Now supports Dark Mode (light text on a dark background).
