Good, when it works Very good. The ability to set a different timer interval is great. These are the missing features that would make it a five star app: - autostart on boot - sometimes it freezes. The timer just stops at 3:52 or 1:42 or whatever random number. Tapping it resets it. It simply stops counting down. Kind of defeats the purpose of the timer. - the little round notification icon should change to reflect left over time, so you can see how far along it is even without swiping the notif. bar. - farm timers: tapping one portal runs the farm's burnout timer too. tapping another portal in the farm only runs that portal's timer, and not the farm's timer from the beginning again. Other than that, a great app, thanks

★★☆☆☆
Mostly doesn't work Changing my review because this app mostly doesn't work. When I'm running portal timer, I would expect the timer to be of the highest priority since I'll only be running it when I really need it - during Ingress. However, it frequently gets killed by the system when the device is low on resources. Furthermore, it randomly stops at certain intervals - sometimes 20 minutes into a 4 hour timer, sometimes 2 or 3 minutes into a 5 minute countdown, it simply stops and never rings. The app it still there in the notifications panel, but the timer is paused. Clicking the stuck timer wakes it up as if it remembers "Oh, right, I'm done!" and then it instantly skips however much it fell asleep for and notifies of an expired timer, if the duration was long enough. As such, this app is only rarely useful, when it work. Will test on CM once I install it, it could be the stock 4.1.2 is choking up resources on my S3 so bad not even a timer can properly run, and will alter the review again if everything is as it should be.

Doesn't work on Miui App doesn't work on Miui 7. Only white square on the status bar

Below average... If you are going to make an app like this it should at least have multiple options like the 5mins all mine have 35min timers and ability to have more timers running
