Periodic Timer Reviews

Help Needed!

Please respond to this!

Where can I change settings when using this app on my iPhone? I only see one page - where I can set/start/stop the timer. I need it to vibrate, not make sound. Also, this is the third time I'm writing this. I hit send, I'm told the nickname is taken and everything I wrote is deleted??? How about just taking me back to change the nickname and not making me start all over ??

Finally find repeating timer I want to use

Lis.Jef

App is good, but I need loud and long vibration. I can't use Apple Timer for reminders because it needs to be cancelled.

Apple limits usefulness of this app?

Mr. Luigi

The iPhone version of this app is simple and straght forward. It just works. :-) The Apple Watch version of this app is also simple and straight forward. It just works. :-) BUT, if you want to use this app on your Apple Watch while ALSO running the Apple Watch native exercise app, or a 3rd party Apple Watch exercise app...It just does NOT work. :-( I assume this limitation is dictated by Apple and not a coding oversight by the developer. It's a shame as my ideal use scenerio for the Apple Watch is to monitor my workout metrics via the exercise app while at the same time getting periodic reminders to facilitate HIIT workouts. The only solution I have been able to create is to run Periodic Timer on my iPhone and run the exercise app on my Apple Watch. Too bad as I really don't like to bring my iPhone with me on runs.

Was perfect.

I needed a timer to go off every minute (running splits) for at least 4 hours. And do this while I had music playing. It worked great but now it will only work if I have the app open and the phone not asleep. Update: got response, works great just what I need. Thanks.

Can't disable sound on Apple Watch

I just needed my watch to vibrate silently on an infinite interval. I don't need it to make a sound. It gets 1 star because the description says "sound or vibrate" but you can't disable the sound. So the developer just responded with some condescending comment. My Apple Watch makes a ring every time this timer goes off. I'm not deaf. There is no setting to even configure sound. There are no settings at all. And yeah it's free, but that's not my fault that it's free, you set it at that price. And you haven't given any indication that the payed version is any different. How about we just try to fix this so I can give you 5 stars and have an awesome app?

Works sometimes

07-01-17: It's great for what I need it for but it stops beeping whenever it feels like it. App can be open or closed. iPhone can be awake or asleep. It's annoying. Problem is, it's the best app I've found. What does THAT say? So I guess beggars can't be choosers. :-/ 07-20-17: well now it just stopped working. Well it works, but no sound. I force closed it and tried again. Nothing. I need this app and it's the best out there for this purpose. Down to 1 star.

Perfect

This app is perfect for discretely collecting interval data on behavior occurrence. Best feature is that you can turn sound off on your phone and only have the timer vibrate to alert you. So glad I found it.

Update broke app

Was great. Just updated and now the app immediately crashes. Have redownloaded and restarted to no avail. Sad.

No longer opens

This was so simple and just what I needed. Used it for a few days and it was perfect. Now it won't open at all. Click on it and nothing. Deleted and reloaded and turned phone off and on but still no app loads when you click on the icon. Very disappointing.

Good basic idea but drains battery

I was using this to stand up every 30 minutes while at work. Just realized this actually starts workout mode (with heart rate monitor)... why?? This drains my battery super fast plus misguides my actual fitness data... if you want to keep that feature add a toggle for people not using this for workouts
