  "Howler Timer Review"

  I ABSOLUTELY love this timer!!! It meets my timing needs. In fact I lvoe it so much that I got rid of another timer that I had which had a quality about it that I rather liked which is it would stay on the menu bar at the top of my computer monitor screen which I wish this one could do too. However, with how great this one still is for me, I cannot dock this app even a partial star because of how it suits all of my timing needs. The howl really does sound like a wolf howling at the moon! The countdown of the last ten seconds with duck quacks was a nice surprise too. If you can and woulld, it would really be greatly appreciated by me to have in an update where this app can stay on the menu bar at the top of my monitor screen then that would be great. The only way that I would ever rid myself of this great app is if I'm forced to in order to free up some memory on my computer. Here's hoping that that never happens. Thank you EVER SO MUCH for making this terrific timing app!!! I GREATLY appreciate it!!! Please keep up the wonderful work that you are doing too. It is MUCH appreciated by me!!!

  Don’t Let the Name Deter You

  One thing I miss about my PC is the paid version of TimeLeft (I actually have multiple licenses). I wanted a similar program for the Windows and was surprised to find this one - free no less. I almost passed this up because of the name, thinking it gimmicky. But no, this is a solid little program that lets you countdown (to a set number of hours/minutes/seconds or to a specific time). You can run multiple timers. And you can pick a sound effect beyond the wolf howl or crow caw (any Windows sound or any sound you’ve loaded yourself). While I normally use Bartender to hide all of my menubar icons, this one has earned a spot on the menu bar - when you click it, a small drop down shows you all the timers and how long each has left. Disclaimer: I have only just downloaded it and started up three timers, none of which have elapsed yet. However, I’m already really impressed.

  Its a timer

  Its just a timer that's properly executed. I have had NO issues with it and why i rate it 5/5. Also i like the crow noises that it makes towards the end of the counter which is kind of funny. I've used it for my 3rd and 4th graders and they love the crow and the howling that it makes. This timer is a must have if you need a straight up timer and that is all. I didn't upgrade for i have no need for the extras but maybe someone needs to do a loop or set up presets, then this could be worth it. I can't really think of any cons with this app. Pros: ive seen the team update it a few times, so its fair to assume that it wasn't a one time thing and left alone, which is nice to see that the development team didn't abandon this app.

  I love you.

  I just downloaded this app because I am severely distractable and therefore never get anything done. (I’m also prone to exaggeration. lol) So I decided to use a timer to remind me when its time to move on to the next task. I love this app because it is simple enough for me to figure out how to use right out of the box. The wolf just now told me it is time to step away from the emails and move on. No obnoxious alarm. Just a five second countdown to a quiet but perfectly audible howl. I highly recommend this app to anyone who like me loves technology but but needs it to be simple and straight forward.
