Howler Pro at Mac App Store analyse

簡単なタイマーソフトが欲しかっただけなのに、なかなか見つからなかった。条件は（１）起動が速い。（２）時間をプリセットできる。（３）アラーム音を選べる。でも、この条件を満たしてくれるソフトがなかなかなかった。 そんな時に見つけたのがこれ。上の３条件を求めている人なら、きっと満足できるはず。

シンプルで便利。 でも Yosemite の黒メニューバーに対応していない。

This is a wonderful timer with lots of fun personality. It has features that I can’t get on any other timer: Ability to set multiple timers at once, save preset timers, set a timer to repeat ad infinitum or just howl one time, set countdowns to tell you when you have ten seconds to go, set howler to automatically reset after timer finishes or even start another pre-set timer. This is great for running circuits on workouts, and good for timing any task. Plus I was able to go into the package contents and add my own sounds into the “resources” folder to increase my sound options. Anyway, I love this app, makes working out fun, with animals sounding out my little successes. Thank you to developer(s)!

Ive used Howler (the free version) every day at work for a few years now. I love that it lets me set multiple timers, either as a countdown, or to a specific time. (I mostly use it to set timers that alert about 2 minutes before a meeting starts at work.) So while the Free version is all Ive needed so far, I thought $2 (or whatever Apple passes on) is a small price to pay to say "thanks" to the developer for this excellent app. The sounds that come with it are silly but you can set it to your own sounds. For me, the biggest help is that it pops the window to the foreground when the timer goes off, letting me know its time to get to my next meeting. The best apps are ones developers write to fill a need they face personally, and thats exactly what this is - not some slick thing trying to compete with all the other overpriced apps in the store, but an inexpensive, solid little app that gets the job done.

I loved the free version of this timer when it first came out. The clean look is classy, but the howl makes it fun. I use it every day and was excited to learn there is a new "Pro" version. I think the full-screen option is worth the price itself! I love that I can just glance at the screen to know how much time is left without having to walk over to the computer and look at the small window. Also, the silent mode is a great option when Im in my office and dont want to "howl" my coworkers, and the pre-set options are addictive. This is a great timer with many many uses and the Howler Pro features are definitely worth the upgrade.

This app is a timer on steroids. It does so many useful things that you would have never even considered in a timer app. Its awesome! The full screen mode is very handy while cooking and the presets make it really easy to start a timer with just the right amount of time. The ability to chain timers together is also great. The "howling" noise is a fun addition and one future feature that could be added is to change the sound per timer (you can already change the default "howl" to any .wav file of your choice, but its a global setting). Overall, its a surprisingly useful app that you will love!

The app works well. I only wish that I could set a custom sound for individual howlers, rather than just one global custom sound. If I could do that, Id give it the 5th star.
