VoyTimer: Talking Voice Timer 4+

Fabulous customer service!

I spoke way too soon in my last review! I'm so used to having little to no customer service that I assumed the worst and judged too quickly. The dev messaged me personally to explain that they wanted to be able to announce the new date so as many people as possible wouldn't miss it and this was the reason for not just extending the sale. They've now announced that date on Twitter as well. ☺️
As for the actual app, I quite like it compared to other apps I've tried. I do wish there were more of the musical (non talking) type sounds though. For now, it's 4 stars but it's a very new app so I feel certain that given a little time it will be worth 5 stars. ☺️

Questionable customer service
This app was released with no IAP. Shortly after, an IAP was added along with additional features. Following this, the dev made the new IAP free. There was a bug in their app that wouldn't allow users on older iOS to open the settings page and therefore could not acquire said free IAP. They fixed the bug rather quickly, but went ahead and put the price of the IAP back at $4.99 (instead of just extending the sale for a day) with a promise in the patch notes that they would make it free again "sometime soon."

Developer Response ,

We are sorry. The bug was on iOS 14.4 and earlier. It has been fixed in version 1.0.3. We will make Pro free again once 1.0.3 is out. Please follow us on Twitter (actowise@) for announcements.

UPDATE

We will make Pro of Amazing Timer free for another day on 7/14. This will give users who couldn’t open the settings page during the last promo another chance to claim Pro for free. This will be the last time we make Pro free. Please don’t miss it. It will last for exactly 24 hours, starting at around 12am of your time zone.

Very Good

This is a very good timer that I have been using with increasing frequency now that I am accustomed to it. The only thing that it lacks, so far, is that there is no way to synchronize my iPhone and iPad.

Develop a response to my question regarding synchronization was immediate. Excellent customer service! I will look forward to, hopefully, to the addition of synchronization.

My Go-To for Simplicity and Accountability

No matter which other productivity apps and timers I try, I always come back to this one for simplicity, prioritization, and accountability. Select a timer, specify the task, assign a time limit or deadline, and color-code as needed. I love that you can personalize the background for additional motivation, such as an incentive for holding yourself accountable.

Two features would make me love this app even more:

1. The ability to prioritize tasks by dragging instead of manually selecting from the menu for each task (move up, move down, move to the top, move to the bottom)

2. The ability to have multiple work spaces
While you can scroll down to see tasks that are out of view, it would be great to have the option to categorize tasks (home tasks on one page, work tasks on another, interval training timers on another, etc.).
