Best timer out there! – G.T.D. 2 Min Timer Review

I've tried lots of timers, and this is the one I'm keeping on my first page of apps. The big differences? - It starts a 2-minute timer as soon as you open it. No need to even press Start. This is what you really want, especially if you're using it for GTD's anything-you-can-do-in-two-minutes-you-do-right-away rule. It may not sound like much of a difference, but it is. - It shows the seconds counting down in the familiar iPhone time-setting scroller, which for some reason is much more compelling than the usual mm:ss clock format. - At any point, you can just press Reset to start a new 2-minute countdown. So if you finish a task sooner, you're ready to go again with the absolute minimum effort. - At any point, you can drag the minute scroller to start a new countdown. So if you're halfway through the two minutes, you can just drag the minute-wheel to four minutes and it starts counting down again instantly (also resetting the seconds to :00). - On the options page, you can set the default time, so that when you open the app it immediately starts a ten minute timer, or 15 minutes, or whatever. It may not sound like much until you use it, but it's actually a completely new and different interface for a timer, and new way of using the iPhone time-setting controls. Ingenious, and perfect for the intended use.
