Here’s a list of 5 timer apps for Android which you can use to setup countdowns for when you’re exercising, cooking, working on a project, or when you just need to wait for whatever it is that you’re doing to be finished, for a paint to dry when painting perhaps? Android timer apps can help you out in all of these situations. With the apps from the list down below you can change your phone or tablet into a timer.
These are some of the more interesting apps I found.
Stopwatch & Timer
Stopwatch & Timer lets you measure time both forwards and backwards, meaning it’s both a stopwatch and a timer app.
When you first run the app you’ll see the stopwatch app open for you. You’ll have to tap on the timer icon in the top right corner to switch to the actual timer. Before the actual countdown starts like the one on the image above, you’ll have to set the timer in a pop-up config window.

Timer by GO Launcher Dev Team
Timer by GO Launcher Dev Team is a timer app released by the same team that created the very popular GO Launcher, go figure.
Timer is adjusted by swiping your finger around the dial, similar to what you would be doing if you were winding an actual clock timer, only this app is digital. You can set hours, seconds or milliseconds. Timer interface comes in three colors, red, green and blue.
