TimeThisFree allows you to create preset countdown timers for just about anything.
From things like filling the bath to when dinner will be ready, TimeThisFree reminds you when you need to take action.
The greatest feature of TimeThisFree is that you can set and forget. Once you start a timer you can either put the device in standby and do something else or close the app and listen to some music or play a game.
If for example you want to go for a 30 minute walk while you listen to some music, you create a 15 minute timer, start it and close the app. Enjoy your walk while listening to your favourite tunes and when the time is up, the alarm will go off and you can turn around and head back - giving a total of 30 minutes.
The Settings screen allows you to choose your default sounds. Selecting an alarm or ticking sound will play a 3 second preview of the sound. You can use this preview to check that your volume settings are appropriate.
