It’s been reported to us that one huge flaw in the Timer app is that iOS devices will auto-lock by default after a short period of time.  

When you’re carrying your phone in your pocket, that’s a good thing.  When you’re 5 minutes into 14.1 and the screen goes blank - THAT SUCKS.

We’ve scrambled to push an update to the Timer that will fix this.  Once the update is approved by the App Store, the iOS device will no longer auto-lock while the timer is running.

In the meantime, if you want a workaround, you can set your device NOT to auto-lock by doing the following:

1. Go to your iOS Device Settings (not the Timer App settings).
2. Click General Settings
3. Choose “Auto-Lock”
4. Change to Never.

The downside to this is it will no longer auto lock.  So if you want to have your phone auto-locking make sure to enable it it after your workout is done.

Thanks to everyone with the feedback on the Timer.  More to come soon!
