Pros
Keeps accurate time
Cons
Buggy. Have to pay to get useful features.
Summary
This app used be my go-to timer but is no longer worth the trouble.
Pros
Shows big, clear numbers
Cons
Very buggy, causes at least 10-50% CPU usage without any proper reason. So that makes it completely useless if you expect any sanity from your apps. Also the functionality is not exactly as I would prefer.
Summary
If nothing else is available, you can use this in case of emergency. For longer time use, this is hopeless until the CPU usage bug is fixed (still present on v8.0.2).
Pros
easy to use and access from the dock
Cons
haven't explored the app enough to find any
Pros
Alarm sounds when countdown reaches zero
Can count down or up
Can use multiple timers simultaneously
Cons
No way to select whether it is counting up or down
Cannot type into text/number areas unless mouse is currently hovering over that area
Easily frustrating due to count down/up problem
Summary
While this functions well as a timer, getting it to function is the problem.
(Running 1.5 on Mac 10.6.8 Snow Leopard)
There is no way to select counting up or down. I tried lots of clicking as there is no option anywhere and I did not get any consistent results.
You can type numbers in or rename the window panel, but you can't click on the section you want to change and there is no text cursor; rather, you must hover over the area and a green bar will appear; you have to leave the cursor there and then type. (Not intuitive, in my opinion).
You can save timers and reopen them, which is nice, but I saved one as a count up and when I reopened it, it counted down and wouldn't count up any more.
It you could check a simple option for counting up or down, this would be a pretty good timer.
Pros
kept saying i had too many number no matter what I put into the numbers. Even when I put none in, it said I had too many
Cons
didn't work
Summary
might have been me, but I've been able to figure out most timer software before
Pros
No major issues. Would like to see some type of change in the sound as it gets closer to STOP time.
Cons
Easy to use, lots of variety in alarm sounds. It has the ability to run multiple timers at the same time.
Summary
Very pleased. Has helped manage my time better.
Pros
Easy to use.
Cons
No cons. Does what it is supposed to do.
Summary
Very easy to use little timer. Easy to use. No problems with the interface.
Pros
Very simple straightforward interface. The ability to type in the numbers is a major plus, but if you choose to use the up and down arrows it advances very quickly, unlike other timers.
Cons
It's simplicity is actually both it's pro and it's con. There is no way to have the alarm loop that I have found. Other timers that I have used in the past are multifunction. They can be used as an alarm clock, timer, stopwatch, etc.
Summary
What it does it does well and very simplistically. If that is what you are looking for it is perfect. I personally wish it had a few more features (such a looping alarm), but that hasn't stopped me from using it.
Pros
The interface is very easy-to-use once you realize you can use the scroll wheel to enter times. Custom alarms.
Cons
Preloaded alarms could be better, and though the interface is intuitive and easy, it could be made to look a little better.
Summary
Great app, I fully recommend it and it's useful for anything.
Pros
Ease of operation. Quick and pretty simple.
Cons
Can't think of any negatives.
Summary
Glad I downloaded Timer 1.4. It has been very valuable to me in keeping track of time spent on projects.
