The last update made the timer disappear! Some text is also messed up so wait until this is fixed before buying. I mainly use this app for the timer. At night I set the timer so I can listen to music or audio books and have them turn off after a set time. I can also set the app to jump ahead or back any length of time (there are two built-in choices -10 and 45 seconds- but both can be reprogramed) so it is easy to skip through recordings to find what you want. This app would be perfect for anyone who listens to lectures. It will also do searches on the music being played and you can access YouTube from within the app. You can also access downloaded podcasts and playlists made in Apple apps. Often it is apparent the dev is not a native English speaker and I wish there were some more choices for skins; the default black is dreary. I will give the app four stars when the timer and text issues are fixed.
