Not as useful since the update to 2.0

Some of the useful features are now missing: No repeat alarm function. No keyboard method to increase or decrease the amount of time. The countdown timer shows only whole minutes until the last 59 seconds, so you can’t tell if the timer is running!

They included other sounds for the timer, but I actually liked to original sound and they’ve taken that out. Why not make it an option?

When the timer goes off annoying colored circles appear on the screen with the timer. Totally unneeded and should be an option you can control (but it’s not!).

All the timers are now the same drab translucent grey. Before there were 4 color choices, and those were helpful because I had a differnt color for each timer.

Overall, not a good update!

==============================

Review of version 1
Minutes is a simple app and thats what I like about it. I keep a few different timers on screen and I just click on the timer that suits the need: 5, 15, or 30 minute. It keeps me on task, and the timers remind me get back to work or start a new task.

Some of the other reviewers additions would be helpful but I do enjoy its effective simplicity.
