If you enjoy using Countdown, a review would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
New in 2.4: Double-tap the settings screen to switch between 1, 5, and 15-second increments
This update makes it easier than ever to use Countdown with a crowd:
- Control the timer remotely using a Bluetooth keyboard! The space bar starts/stops, escape resets, and you can change the countdown time by typing a number followed by enter.
- Display the timer on an Apple TV using AirPlay mirroring, while keeping the controls visible only on your device!
If you enjoy using Countdown, and have a minute to spare (time pun), a review would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
