I use this mainly for cooking, when I have numerous things going, sometimes something in the smoker or on the grill, maybe something else roasting, and one or two things going low and slow on the stove. I used to coach high school sports, and I could see it being really useful when you have multiple groups doing different activities, with one station broken up into several short drills, while another spot is a single, longer drill. I love that you can change the labels, and the colors and layout are great. There are two things I would change: 1-for some reason, the alarm occasionally does not make a sound. I haven’t figured out why. That needs to be fixed. I usually keep it nearby, so I can see the time, but I have forgotten and not known how far past the set time I went. 2-keep the labels until they are manually cleared! This is actually a big deal. I often set a timer early to check something on the grill or that I’m baking, and I need to give it another few minutes. Same for activities on the field. If we try a new drill, I may give it 5-10 minutes. If it’s going well, then I’ll give it 5 more minutes before moving to the next drill or whatever. I have to re-type the label. Every time. And I do this probably do this half the time I use the timer.

My use is to have the app remind me when to take various medicines throughout the day. THIS one every N hours; THAT one every M hours; and so on Suggestions: - option to repeat completed timers - option to edit timer labels rather than just replace - option to change timer color ( color blind friendly ) - option to pick icons for timers ( color blond friendly ) - option to define more than 4 timers ( unless I have overlooked it ) - perhaps. a timer action log; a history of start/stop/completed/edit/etc

Needed a basic set of timers for several medications after surgery. This works but after each timer goes off it clears the name and time requiring you to set it up from scratch. It also clears all timers if you close the app. I would have given it 5 stars if it retained the information after a time and all you had to do was to start it up again like it does on integrated phone apps. Don’t know why apple doesn’t provide such a basic feature in its widget.
