Just amazing

It's a great app. I use it every time I cook something. The iPhone 6/6 Plus update is more than welcome.
Won't work unless you enable notifications

Recent upgrade makes it unusable unless you enable notifications. All notifications. Sounds, badges, shoe on lock screen. If you are a 7-year old. Use it. If you are an adult, find something less insulting.
Update screwed App

I have used and loved this app since its' inception. But since the update the app wants too much access to my phone. Really? How can a timer really need to access notifications and location to run a clock?? Deleting a very useful app that I can no longer access because you want to invade my privacy. Disappointed
One Problem

I love the idea of this app, but I found out the hard way that, unlike other alarms, it does not override the mute switch. This is a deal breaker for me. Other than that, it's great.
notification requirements deal breaker

I've never written an app store review before. Thyme earned a negative review from me for the following: 1. Requires all notification options to be active. I don't allow lock screen notifications for apps like this. Period. Uninstalled due to this "feature upgrade". 2. Alert tones too quiet, uncustomizable. 3. Multiple alarms not customizable. Often one is cooking with an appliance that is not the standard kitchen range. Not a bad concept, but the refusal to optimize for user experience, coupled with the notification requirement, made this app no longer necessary for me. Shame, because I did use it quite a bit before the last update.
Current version requires certain notification settings

You now need sound AND badges AND banner/alerts. Not sure what the point of *needing* Badges and Banners are. If I'm cooking, I am likely not staring at my iDevice...Set the timer for dish #1, move on to dish #2. I do not want to turn on notification abilities I do not care for. Otherwise, it was a good simple timer app.
Needs a little work

I love using this app when cooking but tend to just use the timer on my phone as it over rides the mute on my phone and I don't need to worry about notifications turned on or not. Plus I can label the dishes associated with the timer set.
This app's mandatory notifications requirement is a deal-breaker...

I have used several timer apps, as well as hundreds of other apps but only rarely have I encountered an app that requires turning on its access to Notifications just in order to be able to use it and that's a deal-breaker: deleted!
Updated.

For me this app is awesome, I don't have a problem about notifications, I think it must be updated and several problems have been fixed. Now it worth a "5star"to me.
