Timely Alarm Clock

Audrey Lee

This has been my absolute favorite go to clock / stopwatch / timer app, for the better part of 10 years now I believe? I remember first downloading it on my Samsung S4, and have always loved the elegant UI, & ESPECIALLY the ability to customize each of the 3 screens by blending 3 colors of my choice. Digital aesthetics are ridiculously important to me, and no other timekeeping app comes close to Timely in this regard. Thanks to the awesome development team! ❤️

Great app. I use it all the time. It gets a 3 though, because when the device moves while an alarm is going off, the volume of the alarm drops down really low. So far I haven't found an option for that. A couple of times while at work, my alarm has gone off and I wouldn't notice until minutes later because I'm constantly walking, even with vibration on. EDIT: I don't know why but every time I set a timer, it either doesn't make a sound or it goes off minutes after the timer stops. Dropping.

I loved this app. It was the only timer/alarm app I used for almost four years... but then I upgraded to a Samsung Galaxy S10+. The app doesn't work with Android 10 Oreo, and because it's not, my timers and alarms are relegated to 'unimportant' by my phone's operating system, and automatically classified as a silent notification. This is incredibly disappointing. Unless the app is open and the screen on, I won't receive notice that a timer or alarm is going off. Needless to say, this is useless when you're trying to set an alarm to wake you up in the morning or use a timer for anything productive. I don't want to have to sit next to my phone to keep checking the screen to be sure it's on and my app will work. It defeats the purpose. I sincerely hope Timely will update soon to correct these issues that I and others are experiencing. This really is a wonderful little app, and would love to be able to start using it again. I'll give it a few weeks before I uninstall and find an alternative. Fingers crossed I can go back to what I love and not have to find something new to replace it.

I've used this app on multiple phones over the last few years. It's been my go-to alarm app and I've absolutely loved it. But now after the latest Android upgrade it's broken. Alarms no longer wake up the screen (even with appropriate settings given permission). I've been reluctant to try a new alarm app but I think I've finally gotten frustrated enough that I need to move on. Maybe if you have an older Android device give Timely a try, it's amazing when it works properly.

I have been using timely for years. Unfortunately, like so many others, the combination of the latest Android OS and a Note10+ has rendered this once great app almost useless. It can no longer be snoozed/turned off from the lock screen. You need to unlock the phone and scroll through your notifications, find the Timely alarm notification, open it, and then turn off the alarm. Way too many steps to be convenient. Worse yet, it has become unreliable and sometimes doesnt even trigger the alarm.

I've had this app for years. Back then, it came highly recommended. I was impressed with the quality of the product and the control. However, it no longer works as advertised. The alarm must be hunted down in notifications, making any of the wake up screen features useless. The timer no longer beeps if the screen is off (at least for me for timers about an hour or more). I'm very disappointed.

I've used this app for a few years now. Up until recently, it's worked flawlessley, and been easy to use. In the last few months however, the app crashes continuously, just about every day, along with the alarm not going off at times. I have reported the issues, but with no resolution so far. Updated: Months have gone by with no response, or repairs. Uninstalled.

I've had this app for a while (2 years+). Love so many aspects. Well designed, awesome features. But it's gotten buggy lately. Used to automatically take over the screen when the alarm went off, allowing you to snooze or turn off the alarm. Now, it doesn't: you have to dig into notifications, tap on the alarm notification, and then it comes up. Also, there were times (1 out of 100?) when the alarms doesn't go off. No bueno...
