The app has built-in export and import. Go to Settings → Export all workouts to save all your workouts as a .timers file. You can save it to Google Drive, your device, email it to yourself, etc.
To restore, go to Settings → Import workouts and select a .timers file. You can choose to add the imported workouts alongside your existing ones, or replace all existing workouts with the imported ones.
You can also share/export individual workouts by using the share icon up top in the workout where you see all the timers of the workout. See next section.
Additionally, Android's automatic backup still works — when you set up a new phone with the same Google account, the app database may restore automatically.
Open a workout and tap the share button in the top bar. This sends the workout as a .timers file through any sharing method on your phone — messaging apps, email, Bluetooth, Google Drive, etc. Share it to others or yourself for backup or transfer to another device.
The recipient opens the .timers file on their device and it imports into the app automatically.
To transfer all workouts at once, go to Settings → Export all workouts, save the file, and share it with the other device.
That should certainly not happen. There are a few simple things to try:
Try these troubleshooting steps:
Use the re-check upgrade button on the upgrade screen where you made the purchase.
Restart the app by swiping it away from recent apps, or restart the phone.
Verify the purchase was successful: Google Play sends an immediate confirmation email (subject typically begins "Your Google Play Order Receipt..."). Check your spam folder. Make sure the purchase actually went through rather than failed.
If ads persist after trying the above, contact support@bimjay.com with your order number for assistance or a refund. Please include the order number, from the Google Play order receipt, the email subject usually starts with "Your Google Play Order Receipt".
Text to speech is off by default. First make sure it is enabled in the app: go to Menu → Settings and turn on the Text to speech toggle.
The app speaks the names and descriptions you enter for each timer — it does not announce the remaining time. Make sure you have entered text for your timer names or descriptions.
Troubleshooting steps:
Verify your timer and workout name/descriptions are filled in.
Try toggling the sound settings between "basic" and custom sounds in app settings (Menu → Settings). Try basic sound first, then switch back to your preferred settings.
For Samsung and similar devices with conflicting text-to-speech engines:
Go to Phone Settings → Language and input → Text-to-speech output
Verify your language is available and downloaded
Try switching between Google and Samsung text-to-speech engines
Note: The language selection affects which voices are available
NFC sharing was removed because Google deprecated Android Beam starting with Android 10. Use the share button inside a workout instead — it works with any app on your phone (email, messaging, Bluetooth, cloud storage) and is more reliable.
