If you find Countdown Timer useful and want to thank me for
it - than Share
it with your friends and rate it in the
market!!
Alerts and time measurement can be quite important at times,
that's why I made extra effort to make this app as
reliable as I can.
This includes:
Countdown and corresponding Alert continue when you exit the
App.
Dodging task killers: the countdown Alert should be
unaffected by it (tested with Advanced TaskKiller and Easy Task
Killer) - no setup necessary!
Continue after boot: if the alert is still relevant, than a
boot won't stop the countdown, and the countdown service will be
started automatically. If you've missed the Alert while the device
was powered off - than you will get the alert notification when the
device is up again, in case it is still relevant.
In a best effort to grab your attention and still don't
interrupt, the Alert is displayed only when you're not doing anything
important with your phone: The Alert will pop up and turn on the
screen as needed on idle home screen, or when the screen is off. In
other cases only audible alert is sound, and it can be dismissed from
the notification bar.
The alarm will pop up even if the screen is locked, so you
can dismiss an alarm or snooze it for 5 minutes (or whatever you
selected as Snooze duration).
Display a warning when Alert volume is low when starting the
countdown.
If you encounter any problem, or want more features, You can
