EggTimer ReviewStill has some glitches - Version: 3.1.5, 8/25/2005 06:14AM PST

I've used EggTimer for about a year. After having missed an important meeting because of one of its glitches, I'm going to finally look around for an alternative.

The main glitch: its inability to quickly set a time below 1 hour. If you click on the "Remind me in:" button, and then try to select 0 hours, 15 minutes, the 0 hour often (without you noticing) turns to a 1. So, instead of your alarm going off in 15 minutes, it goes on in 1 hour, 15 minutes. Yet if you go back and try to get rid of that 1 in the hour field, it's virtually impossible. It keeps reappearing. Type in a Zero, it won't stick. use the up/down arrows... whoops, no zero, it only goes from 1 to 12 and then back to 1. It's maddening, and ultimately something that can cost you if you're relying on it.

A handful of other minor but irritating glitches ultimately makes this not trustworthy. Bit more work, and the developer could have a winner.
