Needs updating but still useful

UI of the widget is off but I still use it.


Nice Effort

I had a small issue with the app recognizing the in-app purchase to remove ads, but it seems to be working now. Additionally the notification says, “Let’s Hack! Potal Cool Down” which I assume is simply an English translation issue, but . . . overall, the app does what it says.


Not bad....

... A few suggestions. Maybe paying the 0.99¢ should be a bit more than ad removal. Granted, I have been using the app quite effectively with my iPhone 6+, but fast switching does have its annoyances. Offering ad removal, automatic timer reset, total control through the "widget menu" without having to open the app (with the exception of mods**) would be awesome. The ads removal for 0.99¢ is rather pointless if farming a portal with decent mods, since you're going to switch back to game as soon as you start the timer. It's alright, that's why I gave it a decent score. I've been using it, but it has potential to be much more.


Simple and efficient

Nice app very useful and efficient, but maybe after paid $0.99 the widget could reset without open the app.


Finally!

It's about time someone released a widget for this game. The only thing I have on my wish list is that it didn't open itself whenever you reset the timer; minus 1 star. If paying the $1 removes ads and fixes the annoying app switching, I'd pay for it twice. The ads aren't too annoying and only come around every 5 (or so) resets, so not really worth the dollar, in my opinion. Otherwise, the interface is clean, Ingress-like and functional. Job well-done!


Works as advertised.

Simple to use timer. Note to dev. Misspelling on notification. Says "potal cool down." Otherwise no other issues.


Getting there
demonicdisciple

It would be nice if the timer could be reset without taking me into this app. Would also like to see the addition of counters for numbers of hacks and possibly an additional timer for portal burnout. I would like to see the heat sink selection changed from its current state to a tap to select process that more easily cycles through the options.


Widget in Today does not work in iOS 9

This has been a great app, however in iOS 9 the countdown display in the Today widget stopped working on my iPhone 5s.


Good app, needs update
Snarkface

Here is an excellent portal timer with a helpful widget for using the timer without the app open. Has pre sets for common hack intervals and also the ability to load heat sinks on to time a portal with hack mods and make maximum use of the mods. Would love it if they updated the images of the heatsink as what is shown is a pretty old image. Doesn't affect the app use though. Also would have paid to remove ads along time ago but the option to remove adds has disappeared for unclear reasons.


Slightly broken with Ingress 1.98.1

The button to launch Ingress no longer works after upgrading to Ingress 1.98.1
