Timer
Timer is your perfect companion for board games, sport, cooking, meditation or whatever activity that needs a precision and powerful timer.
It can be mainly used for short time delays, defined in hours/minutes and SECONDS.
Unlike the build-in timer, the following useful functionalities are added :
- The time can be defined with a seconds precision.
- The timer can be paused and resumed.
- The timer can be looped.
- Portrait and Landscape visualisation modes are handled in all application screens.
- The timer can be used when silence is needed thanks to a flashing screen.
- When the timer ends, different actions can be performed (popup display, screen flashing, alarm sound, looping alarm sound, vibration)
- When the timer is done, the time is still displayed, allowing to know since how long the timer elapsed.
- Different dedicated alarm sounds can be used (Bell, Cooking timer, Watch, Gong, Danger, ...)
- Custom musics/sounds can be selected from the iPod library to be used as alarms.
- Shepard tones can also be used : those tones creates the auditory illusion of a tone that continually ascends or descends in pitch.
- Possibility to define multiple special events that will be triggered when the timer is running.
Sounds, vibrations (if supported) and messages can be notified at any time thanks to a complex time scheduling system.
Here are some events you'll be able to create :
"Play a Gong sound 30 seconds before end"
"Every 10 seconds during 1 minute, produce a sound with an increasing pitch"
"Play a tic tac sound every seconds"
"Once One-half the time is elapsed, play an iPod song and show a custom message on the screen"
The Tic Tac sound is generated by default thanks to a special event. To disable it, in the Timer app, go to "Settings"->"Events"->"Every seconds - Play Old tic tac" and set "Enabled" to "NO".
In case, the application quits while a timer is active, the timer will still be active at the application restart.
(Like every AppStore application, Timer cannot run in background : no notification can be triggered if the application is not active)
What's new
2.1:
* Fixes the "avoid idle sleep" (renamed "avoid auto-lock") check ignored once an iPod alarm was played.
Note: There is a side effect of using an iPod alarm : the inactivity delay of the auto-lock is reset when the alarm is played.
2.0
* Allows Music/Sound notification from your iPod library. This way, a user can add custom sounds, or use a music as notification.
* Possibility to define multiple special events that will be triggered when the timer is running. This powerful feature replaces the simple tic tac sound.
Sounds, vibrations (if supported) and messages can be notified at any time thanks to a complex time scheduling system.
Here are some events you'll be able to create :
"Play a Gong sound 30 seconds before end"
"Every 10 seconds during 1 minute, produce a sound with an increasing pitch"
"Play a tic tac sound every seconds"
"Once One-half the time is elapsed, play an iPod song and show a custom message on the screen"
* Timer Stop is now manual to allow ipod music playback until Cancel is pressed and to see the elapsed time even if the timer is done.
* Time displayed in red (with a +/- sign) when the timer is elapsed.
* Choose to display remaining or elapsed time
* Alarm screens merged (and include iPod section)
* Bigger "Timer done" displayed in popup
* Smoother portrait/landscape rotation.
