More versatility in alarm functions

New postby Anguish on Thu Feb 04, 2010 12:53 pm

The alarms function works fine for what it is, but it only extends the existing alarm portion of the standard clock. I'd like to see it also extend the Timer portion of the standard clock. Specifically, I'd like to be able to set up perhaps a half-dozen different timers, and run them simultaneously.

The implementation:

Make a timer1, timer2, timer3, timer4, timer5, and timer6 display, allowing start, stop, and edit buttons beside each time. The edit button allows us to define the length of time that associated timer should count down from.

What for? Say... cooking. Some dishes will be done in 15 minutes, some 30 minutes, some 12 minutes. It would be convenient to be able to set all three timers and start them when the appropriate dish hits the stove. Having a half-dozen of these thing would allow us to leave them at commonly used times, such as 5, 10, 15, 20, 30 and 60 minute settings. The standard clock's timer requires editing every time you want to use a different timer length. Annoying.

I use lots of timers as reminders that are pointless as a calendar entries. For example: remember to unload washing machine, bring washing in in 4 hours, when can i take my next headache tablets, kids fighting over XBOX, etc. Lots of simple timers you want to reuse and also a really simple quick "just remind me in 35 mins"

I've got 2 other timer apps on my BB 9700 but they make simple timers too complicated.
