Zen Flip Clock - Minimal Timer 4+

Love the app!

This app is perfect for being a nightstand clock at night while my phone is on the charger. I have one suggestion. It would be great if you could set the brightness from settings (which you already can) but to remember the brightness. When you leave the app it would be nice if it restored the brightness to what it was set to before launching the app. Then when you start the app it should return to the remembered brightness.

I made a mistake and gave the app 1 star. I meant to give it 5 stars. I was also able to workaround the issue I wrote about using shortcut automations. When I place my phone on the charging stand, I have an automation that dims the screen and launches the app. I have another automation for when I take the phone off the stand, the brightness increases and the Home Screen comes up.

Controls need to be a little more intuitive

I get that the point of this app is to be minimalistic, but the controls need to be a bit more intuitive. For example, I could not find instructions to enable the 'dark mode' theme. I looked online and the only instructions I could find appeared to be outdated. I thought I had to pay for the PRO version to get dark mode.

I accidentally found out how to use a different theme - I had swiped over to the stopwatch option and then I accidentally did a 'light' swipe upwards, which then showed me the different themes I could use (I'm not even sure that I had to pay for the PRO version at this point, but don't get me wrong, $5 is nothing and I support small developers). Now I know you can do this from either the stopwatch, clock, or pomodoro timer screen. Users shouldn't have to find this out by accident - please provide more detail instructions in the app store page, or include a toggle in below the "App icon" option, so that it's easier to set the theme the User wants.

Otherwise, I absolutely love the simplicity of this app. The missing instructions seriously stops this from being a perfect 5-star app.

Perfect! Love the hourly chime notification too!

I love how straightforward it is and that you still have options while keeping the overall interface minimalistic—no distractions with fiddling with settings for too long when studying, which is great.

Also, I REALLY love the hourly chime notification option. As someone with time-blindness, this was a surprising god-send. No need to constantly set alarms (who’d WANT to do that every single hour of the workday?!) or timers that get tiring (and are easy to forget and make me startle once they go off and interrupt my flow).

I would really love a way to customize the chime notification so I can set it for 20min or 45min or what have you. Please consider it, if it’s possible!
