Boxing Timer Pro Round Timer

If you pay attention to the good reviewers, almost all of them are old. I was so glad to find this app. It’s always hard to pay for an App when you don’t know if you will like it, especially after having tried others that were only so-so. I was very glad that I did PURCHASE it. I recommend this app to lots of people, who also PURCHASED it. BUT… Then some genius decided to strip all the PAID for features and make it a free App and CHARGE US AGAIN for the features we already PAID for by way of subscription. I have no problem with the developer offering a free app with a subscription or even offering upgrades to the features we already paid for, but what was done was dishonest and disappointing. Often when I try to start the timer it will ask five or so time (in a row) by way of pop up to buy the subscription. PLEASE RETURN THE APP THAT WE PAID FOR.

I was happy with this product when I purchased it a few years ago, before it was recently “upgraded” to a paid annual service. Now I am being nagged with constant interruptions, asking me to pay an annual fee for something I ALREADY OWN. I’ve tried using the restore option to reset things to the previous version I own, but that didn’t work. Deleting and reinstalling doesn’t work. I reached out to app/customer support a week ago and still haven’t heard a reply. I don’t have an interest in the upgraded features of this product, and I shouldn’t have my paid for version’s interface altered and have to deal with invasive pop-ups. FIX THE RESTORE FUNCTION PLEASE! It’s like if before you could start your car, you had to acknowledge that a newer version of your car is available for purchase. More acknowledgement when you stop at a light. There is also a big sticker on your windshield reminding you of the upgrade in case you forgot.

I’m not going to say this timer is better than all the rest because I haven’t used all the rest. But, I can say it does everything I can imagine I need a boxing timer to do. For only $3. It’s got a clean design. And easy to change settings. I don’t use the music player so I can’t speak to that. The only requests I would make to the developer are these: Change the countdown timer during rest so that you get a warning at 10 seconds and not the beeps at 3-2-1. That is is really knit picking on my part. But I like the knock-knock-knock at 10 seconds and that’s it till the bell. The other thing I might change is to up the volume a bit. I think it would be easy to do and might be helpful under certain circumstances. But again, to those on the fence, just buy it. At $3 how disappointed can you be? But you won’t be disappointed so it’s a moot point.
