…almost great

I downloaded this paid app to use as a simple countdown timer. What I like: The simple design, acts like an Apple widget and is small, it floats and is movable, the alarm chime, it doesnt sit in the task bar (personal preference so that I can see it better), there are four colors to choose from (but you cannot label the individual timers), it doesnt slow other computer processes down, and has the ability to create multiple timers. This timer is great if you want a timer with a pull-down menu with pre-set times.

What I dont like about it: Adjusting to a specific time if not listed in the pre-set list, requires adding one minute at a time with the pull-down menu or by a simple key combination. There is only one alarm sound (its really nice, but there is only one). The timer resets itself if you press, or accidently press the main white area of the timer — this feature might be good if you were using it for a repeating task but is annoying otherwise.

Cool addition: This app allows users to play an iTunes playlist (not a big deal since iTunes plays them) BUT if you have to be stealth-like at work, nobody will notice that your iTunes icon is activated.

Also: My intuitive behavior wants to double-click in the white center, not to reset the time, but to adjust the time. Perhaps a double click brings up hour and minute time touch-spin dials. If that isnt something the maker wants to go with then perhaps a setting that turns off the "automatic reset" from hitting the center white portion. Four Stars if you add the time adjustment and add more alarms (or tell us where they are) and Five Stars if you add all of that plus labels and make a setting to make it transparent.
