Before removing timers from TimeTune in version 2.7, we showed a message warning about the upcoming change:
We made it clear that we’re open to the idea of creating an app just for timers, with more powerful features. All users in favor of that could click the ‘Send feedback’ button and let us know.
What’s the result of this survey?
THE RESULTS
The survey reached 176,234 users in total. Out of those users, only 393 sent their feedback.
That means that only 0.2% of users cared enough about the feature to send their feedback, confirming that timers were a very minor feature indeed.
The feedback received could be divided in two main groups:
- Users who were in favor of a new timers app (230 users).
- Users who explicitly asked not to remove timers (163 users).
All in all, very small numbers 😥
A NEW TIMERS APP?
Certainly, the results of the survey don’t provide enough reasons to justify the creation of a new timers app.
What is more, we need to take into account that there are already a lot of timer applications in Google Play.
Does this mean we’re discarding the idea permanently?
Well, not yet.
We’ll keep an eye on Google Play to see if there’s the possibility of bringing something new to the market (instead of just creating a ‘timer clone’ app).
YOUR FEEDBACK
We want to thank all users who participated in the survey and sent their feedback 💗
However, for the moment we recommend to check other timer applications from Google Play (or even use the timer feature from your default clock application).
That being said, if you think that current timer applications in Google Play lack a special kind of feature, please let us know. We’ll evaluate the possibility of building a timers application with that feature 🔎
Thanks!

Under the new model, do you see a time when your app will be available on IOS/IPAD IOS? I use both an Android phone and an iPad for work – I love to have the app available for both. Also, it would be fantastic if you were able to integrate a calendar into the app with the same simplicity as you have applied to the app currently.
I have been a long time user and cannot believe this app is not more well known. There is such beauty in the simplicity and function of this app. Thank you for all you have done so far!
Hi, thanks for your feedback 👍 Indeed, creating an iOS version is a possibility we’d like to explore in the future 🙂 However, the project needs to grow more before we can justify the investment 📈 We take note of your suggestion too 📝 Cheers!
Hi! Love your app ❤️. Would it be possible for this eventual iOS app to connect it to your Android device? I have bought multiple Android apps for my phone, but when I want to install them on my iPad, I have to pay for them again. It would be better to sign in with an account on both devices, if that would be possible.
We’ll evaluate all the options, but in the end it will depend on the technical resources that each platform provides. In any case, it’s still too soon to tell.
