Questions?

Have a question on how to use the Elapsed app? Take a look at our FAQ tab which contains answers to some common questions as well as video demonstrations. If you're still stumped, do drop us a note.

Why don't timer expiration alerts work in iOS 5.0?

iOS 5.0 introduces a new Notification Center that allows you greater control over the notifications you receieve on your phone. To receive Elapsed alerts in iOS 5.0, head into iPhone/iPad > Settings > Notifications > Elapsed and enable Alerts, Badges and Sounds for Elapsed.

Why don't I hear an alert sound when my timer expires?

Do you have your iPhone/iPod Touch set to silent/mute mode? Elapsed honors your silent/mute setting and works with you to prevent any awkward moments resulting from a timer expiring unexpectedly. Instead, Elapsed will vibrate when in silent mode to discreetly let you know that a timer has expired.

What is the "Extras Package"?

We at Appsules LLC strive to create Apps(ules) that we hope you both enjoy and find useful. We take pride in knowing that our creations positively impact your life. This is why the Elapsed app is fully functional and free (ad-supported)! Unfortunately, with bills to pay, this currently remains a nights & weekends effort. However, we'd love nothing more than to work full-time creating new Apps(ules). As such, the "Extras Package" provides you with a means to support our efforts. When purchased, we immediately show our appreciation by removing all ads from the app and making 20 new alert sounds available for use. So, if you find the Elapsed app useful and enjoy using it, do consider purchashing the "Extras Package" and supporting our efforts!

How do I create an Active timer?

From the "Active" timers screen, tap the "+" button. Then, select a duration, name, and alert sound. Optionally save to Presets for easy reuse. Tap "Done" and you will see it ready to be started on the "Active" timers screen. [See Video]

How do I create a Preset timer?

From the "Active" timers screen tap the "Presets" button to move to the "Presets" screen. Tap the "+" button on the presets screen. Then, select a duration, name, and alert sound. Tap "Done" and you will see it ready to be launched from the "Presets" screen. [See Video]

How do I modify an Active running timer?

You can always tap the pause button to pause, play button to resume, or refresh button to reset or restart. But the Elapsed app even lets you make changes while your timer is running! From the "Active" timers screen identify the timer you wish to modify. Tap the remaining time label to move to the "Edit Timer" screen. Select the field you want to modify: time field for remaining time or duration, name field for timer name, or alert button to change alert sound. Tap done to commit changes. [See Video]

How do I launch a Preset timer?

From the "Active" timers screen tap the "Presets" button to move to the "Presets" screen. If you don't see the timer you want, tap on "A-Z" to sort alphabetically, "Recent" to sort by time last used, or "Frequency" to sort by how often the Preset was used. Alternatively, if you know the name of the Preset, scroll to the search bar on the top and type in the name. Once you find the Preset you want, simply tap on it to start an instance of it.
