Timer with go off/vibration even when you close out the Timer App

Hi there. I just purchased a Versa because when Fitbit bought out pebble.... that ruined that support for the one watch feature i wanted: multiple timers. 

 

I work in on the healthcare field and something that would be very useful is an app where you can set multiple timers and have them alert you when they expire. Currently there is only one app I’m seeing in the store IS able to make 4 timers.. but it will not notify me when they run out unless I leave my Versa on the app. If i minimize the app... no notification. If there’s another option please let me know.

Hey @IvanTheMedic! Nice suggestion, thanks for sharing all those details and thanks for trying to check all the available apps for Versa. We look forward to hearing what other community members think.

YES and also, it would be good if you could use the timer while also using the exercise app. E.g. if you're doing a routine and you wanted to do a plank for 1 minute or something and time it but still have the exercise app open as well.

I loved Multi Timer app on my Pebble - it allowed to have quite a number of pre-configured timers, so I could just select one I need right now with even less hassle.

Hi there, how's this thread going? is the feature request still available, or any other 3rd party app be suggested ?

I would like to be able to set multiple stopwatches. I love the ability to set stopwatches, and it'd be nice to have multiple running at once. It seems not too hard to implement. If there is a 3rd party app which has this functionality, please let me know.

Hi @IvanTheMedic - This may be useful for you - it will run standalone or in background to the SimpleClocPro clock face. Simple4Timer has up to 4 concurrent named timers. Double tap the clock face Seconds to switch to timer and double tap the timer to return to the clock face. Requires Versa2, Versa 3 or Sense.
