CNET Editors' review
While this streamlined, no-frills program is reliable, it doesn't offer any more tricks than does a basic wristwatch. Egg Timer Plus includes both a timer and a stopwatch on the same miniature program screen; you can toggle between the two by clicking on tabs. We found it handy to create presets, or set times to count down to an alert (while waiting for pasta to boil, say, or waiting for a show to start). Yet you can't set several timers at once--to do so, you have to open several instances of the program and then set each. While compact, Egg Timer Plus is fairly basic and could have included a handful of skins or better sounds to give it a bit more flair. Overall, this program's no rotten egg, but we'd love to see more functions (even for our five bucks).

"So nice, I bought it"
Version: Egg Timer Plus 3.12
Pros
The display is nice. Multiple timer windows are okay.
Cons
It took a while to figure out how to delete a preset. The icon in the system tray is a generic Windows icon.
Summary
Nice and easy to use.

"Awesomely simple and effective"

Pros
Very useful to help focus on the time you spent working, as opposed to the actual time! Sounds simple, and it is, but the simple shift in focus had a big impact on my studying.
Cons
No cons as far as I can see. How can you knock something free that does the job?
