1Timer - Voice Timer 4+

Thanks for Being Ethical

Thank you for allowing people who already paid to upgrade for free. That was the ethical and moral thing to do and I'm so glad you're not scum like so many of your App Store brethren. Many other developers couldn't care less about their customers. So, it's refreshing to see that you actually to seem to care and that you have a conscience and are doing the right thing by the people who supported you. Thanks for that uncommon decency on your part as an iOS developer.

Though, one thing, it looks like the free upgrade for paid owners is limited. I personally would make that offer for people who already paid an indefinite offer, since some folks might not be able to upgrade in the allotted time. It seems like the right thing to do by the folks who already paid for this app and supported you. That is just my opinion, though. Thanks, again, and God bless.

Thank you. We will have to make the Pro upgrade not free at some point. However, we will offer redeem codes for existing paying users to upgrade for free even after that. The easier way for users to upgrade is to do it while it’s still free.

Exactly what I need

This is a good app with a lot of flexibility. The only thing I would like is if the voice would say the label for each timer instead of just saying how many minutes are on the clock. For example if you’re using this for a workout, having the app announce which exercise is next would be more helpful. I have a chain of timers for a workout but it doesn’t read what exercises I’ve labeled each timer. So I have to check something else to remember which exercise is next. If there’s a way to do that, I haven’t figured it out.

Edit: new release now has voice prompts making this 5 star for me. It is very flexible and you’re able to adjust everything.

This feature is coming in the next version. Stay tuned.

Best audible timer… with room for improvement

There aren’t many options when it comes to audible timers, that is timers that tell you the countdown rather than requiring you to look at a screen. This is the best one I’ve found this far. It’s well thought out and has some nice features making it worth the purchase, like customizable timers, timer chains, the option to count up after a given timer has reached zero, and quick timers.

That said, it has room for improvement: It sometimes decreases the audio volume of other apps while running in the background, even when it’s not saying anything. When this occurs, I force quit the 1Timer app and the audio volume of the other apps returns to normal.
