FAQ
What is Random Timer Generator?
Random Timer Generator is a countdown timer app that picks a random duration between a Minimum and Maximum you set. It’s useful for games (e.g., Hot Potato, Musical Chairs), exercise intervals, meditation, studying, and any situation where you want unpredictably timed alerts.
How do I create a random timer?
Enter a Minimum and Maximum time (seconds, minutes, hours), choose other options (alarm sound, countdown noise, loop/break settings), and start. The app will pick a random time within your range and count down to the alert.
What platforms and system requirements are needed?
The app requires iOS 13.0 / iPadOS 13.0 or later and is available on the Apple App Store for iPhone and iPad.
Is the app free or paid?
Random timers under 2 minutes are free. For timers over 2 minutes and other premium features (like custom sounds), there is a one-time lifetime purchase of $7.99.
What features does the app include?
Configurable random timers (0 seconds to 24 hours), adjustable seconds/minutes/hours, countdown noises, option to hide or show remaining time, multiple alarm sound options, vibrate-only mode, upload custom sounds (premium), looping mode with optional break periods, and loop-count display.
Can I upload my own sounds or songs?
Yes — uploading custom sounds or songs for the countdown, timer end, or break end is available in the premium (paid) version.
How does Looping mode work and are there limitations?
Looping mode automatically starts a new random timer after the current one ends, optionally inserting a break period between loops. To avoid long delays between loops, long custom alarm sounds may be truncated when looping; full sounds play when not using Looping mode.
Will the timer and alarm work when my phone is locked or another app is open?
Yes — the app is designed so the timer and alarm continue to run when the screen is locked or you switch to another app. However, some users report occasional issues (e.g., frozen counter, missed sounds) that can be affected by phone settings or interruptions like phone calls.
What privacy and data practices does the app have?
The developer indicates the app does not collect any user data. A privacy policy is published by the developer (link provided in the App Store listing).
Troubleshooting: The timer freezes, alarms don’t always play, or watch notifications stop — what can I do?
Try these steps: ensure iOS is up to date, grant necessary notifications/phone permissions, avoid manually changing device volume between timers, disable low-power / background-restriction settings that may suspend the app, and restart the app or device after phone calls. If problems persist, contact the developer (email provided in the App Store listing) with details and logs if possible.
