why would you be angry? the drag function where you drag the menu bar icon is easy to use, fun to use, and works exactly how you would want it. Only nag is if in the countdown there was a setting that could be enabled to show the seconds remaining as well. Since I participate in online speech and debate competitions a timer visible in the menu bar constantly is one of the only things I have wanted my entire life. This app is basically perfect except for that one issue.

For starters, if you are wondering whether to get the original, first Gestimer app or this second one, I would say it is a matter of preference. Up until recently I preferred the first app more, as I was used to it's design and was admittedly a little put off by the purple color in this one (which is nitpicky, I know). They are both great apps. Simple, well made, responsive. There isn't much more to say than that because of the simplicity and usefulness. I was originally going to write this review to say all of the above but also to mention that one caveat to this second iteration is that it seems a little less responsive than the first. Specifically when initially clicking to begin the dragging motion to set a timer. However with the most recent update it actually does feel better and seem faster - thanks developer!Other things I think would be great for this:- allow user to customize the color in the timer progress bar/the app's overall accent color (maybe a preselected list of colors similar to the ones in the accent color options for Mac's system preferences)- another (or a few!) different icon styles for the timer progress barIf you need a timer app, to me both this one and the first one are worth trying to see which one you like the look and feel of more. 5/5 in all ways!!

i've had this app for years and just upgraded to the 2nd version, I appreciate the discount bundle for prior customers - makes me feel good about spending money on this already good app. As for new features, the progress bar is really helpful, but I wish there was a way to hide the minutes count down- the numbers make me a bit anxious. If you have the old version, this new version is not radically different - which is a great thing - but you might not necessarily need to spend 3 dollars. Though if a progress bar is more your speed, this is definitely the way to go - simple, efficient and elegant!f

Took my a while to upgrade to Gestimer 2 but after I did I was fairly dissapointed. There isn't much to the app but that means it really needs to ace what it does, this does not. This seems to be very buggy compared to Gestimer 1, any time I remove an item it gets duplicated in the list until I restart it, this has been the case for weeks despite getting frequent updates (which is nice at least). Also I much prefer the previous iconography, looked professionally done compared to what's included in Gestimer 2. Thankfully Gestimer 2 is a separate app so I can at least go back to the older version at least until things improve here.

- fixed a bug where the UI would get stuck so that another reminder/timer could not be created - fixed Onboarding window sometimes not being visible when allowing/denying permission to access Apple Reminders - fixed a bug where dragging to make small adjustments to time intervals could not be set easily - significantly reduced CPU usage - many more under-the-hood improvements in preparation for future updates
