"Does what it needs to"
Version: Timer Utility 4.1
Pros
Allows multiple countdown timers. Can have multiple timers going at once. Has multiple alarm notifications
Cons
No major cons; Just some minor settings & behavior (that I had in FOB but aren't in TU).
Summary
Needed a replacement for FOB, and this does the trick!

"No longer free"
Version: Timer Utility 4.0.4
Pros
Good little utility.
Cons
My 3.x version auto upgraded to this newer paid version without letting me know that the newer version required payment. Fortunately, I was able to reinstall the earlier version I had.
Summary
It is pretty sleazy for a developer to use tactics like this to get longtime users to pay for an upgrade. If I had been aware before upgrading that this newer version was a paid upgrade, I probably would've paid the price. But since it did not, I am trashing this app.
Dirty tactics are not what I look for in a software developer, no matter how good the app! You've just lost a paying customer? -
"Tricking Users into Paid Upgrade"
Version: Timer Utility 4.0.2
Pros
Version 3.5.4 was simple and free.
Cons
They upgraded version 3 JUST to add a nag screen to get you to upgrade to the paid version 4.
Summary
The paid version, while cheap is more complex (adding time tracking) and a second window. Luckily I found a copy of version 3.5.4 in my trash and was able to go back to the Free version without the nag screen.

"Widget would be perfect!"
Version: Timer Utility 3.5.3
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
Lovely little utility, works as advertised. I'll use and be very satisfied (5 stars) with it as it now is, but making it into a widget would make it, IMO, even handier. -
"Exactly what I needed"
Version: Timer Utility 3.3
Pros
It works perfect with my IMAC
Cons
Nothing so far
Summary
It is exactly what I was missing
-
"Nice update..."
Version: Timer Utility 3.1
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
D/l is smaller, and app now leaves a smaller footprint, launches instantly on initial start, and uses less RAM, virtual RAM, and CPU cycles than did v 2.3.2.
All in all, one of the most responsive updates I've ever seen, and to a highly functional and extremely useful app, to boot.
