Software Reviews and Criticism

    Inaccurate

    I use this to meditate, 20 minutes a day. Been doing this for years and have a pretty good feel for what 20 minutes feels like. Since using this app though, I've been mystified during my sessions: They feel as if they've been going on for too long. Every time I use this, I open my eyes to peek at the time and am incredulous that I continually have 9 minutes left, every single day. Decided to test this: I set two times for 20 minutes, a mechanical and the computer. Mechanical goes off at 20 minutes. When I turn on my laptop's screen, it still has 9 minutes left. Either Horo stops working when the laptop itself falls asleep (after 10 minutes) - my suspicion - or my sense of reality has been completely ruined by this app. Really, both. Don't use this if you intend on being away from your computer, screen off.

    Almost perfect

    Add a count-up timeer and you'll get that 5th star. Either way, it's a nice tool and very appreciated. Thanks.

    Simple and One Click

    I've looked for a while at a nice time tracking app. This does it. It has a ton of features I don't need right now but I'm going to buy the full version just to support the dev for actually making something that does what it should without a bunch of BS. You shouldn't need eight clicks just to start a timer and this doesn't. I'm glad it'll have the advanced features when I need them and puts what I need most upfront.

    Simple but very much needed!

    The app works exactly as described. A simple, elegant, non-intrusive, easy to use timer for Windows. Couldn't have asked for more. Natural language may seem like an easy to overlook obvious feature, but after trying many other timer apps that use buttons to click through 5 minute intervals or fiddly sliders, I gotta hand it to Horo for how quick it is to just set a timer. There's not much to it, it just works. Great app Matthew! (Pro Tip: Horo timer doesn't take up that much space at all on the menu bar by itself, but if you like to use multiple timers at the same time, it can easily start to fill up the upper portion of your screen. I use the app Vanilla -also by Matthew- to hide the timer and reveal it only when i need to see how much time i have left or to add another timer.)

    Free version is great--I might buy the pro version

    Note: I use my iPhone to set timers for meditation, naps, anything needing "real" timing. I use horo while I actively work on my Windows. This is an elegant interface timer app. I open it when I need it using Spotlight to search for horo. Thus, my hands never leave the keyboard when I realize I need a timer. My workflow has a minimal interruption. The timer runs in the menu bar and stays there when it gets to 00:00. The unchangable default alarm sound is fantastic. I would think the app would be easy to uninstall--either quit the app or reboot and then drag the app into the trash. I do not intend to uninstall. Without a time set, the menu icon is an hourglass. Running multiple timers reminds me to focus *now*, to stretch and look out the window every 50 minutes, and to take a short walk every 100 minutes, or to change my desk from seating height to standing height or back. I've needed this for years and now I have it.
