Latest reviews of Nok - Knock to Start Timer app for iPhone and iPad
What a waste! The vibrate goes on whether it is switched on or not, and the alarm is inaudible unless I have the phone held next to my ear, and then I just hear faint knocking.
Looked good, thats about all I can say. Sounds were so low that the alarms couldnt be heard unless the phone was next to your ear. Also, even though I had the vibrate mode turned on, it didnt vibrate. Disappointing app.
Could be great.. Looks amazing and its easy to use but it doesnt work. Vibrates even when setting is off. Does not start timer when I knock, it just opens the app. Most of the time it doesnt recognize the knocking. Too bad because I hate the default timer on my phone.
I was in the gym this morning and trying to think of an easy way to time 40 second sets and 40 second rests. I asked my friend if he could build me an app that would let me knock my phone to start a timer. Then I found Nok. The only downside is that the sound IS super quiet. Customizable sounds and/or volume is all it really needs.
