Beautiful & Function - Nearly Perfect
It is a stylish app which delivers great features and functionality. I gave it 4 out of 5 as it lacks two features which are not difficult to add and, IMHO, should have been built into it. When you set the timer, you can chose from a range of alert sounds or silent (nothing). It does NOT, however, allow you to set any other ways of alerting you — there is no option for vibration with or without auditory alerts.
If I were to offer a few suggestions, I would suggest using the three key senses: auditory (sound), tactile (vibration), and visual (flashing).
Auditory — the app has a nice selection and is fine as is... though it could be improved by allowing user to access music and/or playlists.
Tactile (Vibration) — the app should, at least, offer the basic vibration option though adding variety of vibrating patterns would be extra nice.
Visual (Pulsing Light) — the app has such a nice visual appeal it would be easy enough to add pulsing of light alert which could be done in one of several ways — a small dot that flashes, the white ring-dial around all of the different counters, and/or having the colored digital elements that make-up each of the timers flash.
It should be possible to turn each on and off so you can be alerted in just one way - just a flashing light or just a vibration or just a sound alert or a combination of two or even all three.
