Looking For an Android timer app that can.....

This is related to a 5 aside football match, which lasts an hour. We all take turns at going in goals, so 12 mins each. The new place we play has no clock, so i'd like an app that i can set to notify ( perhaps 5 seconds) every 12 mins for an hour.

I wouldn't be able to touch the phone for the hour as it would be safely hidden inside a bag behind the goals and the game doesn't really stop

anyone know of anything that may do this

Thanks

    So the handset is in a bag behind the goals, and I'm sure the players are not silent, so how are you going to hear it anyway?
    There maybe some kind of fitness training app that may do the timing function as it seems similar to interval training.

    The current person in goals should only be a few feet away and we do from time to time hear mobiles go off - so not anticipating that as being too much of an issue.

    I think i have possible found one - A HIT timer ( high intensity training i think)

    Do search for Interval timer, as for sound, could try one of those mighty boom ball or a similar speaker to just give you that extra loudness

  • The easiest solution I can think of is using multiple alarms

    One simple way would be to create an mp3 using audacity or something similar that makes some noise after 12 minutes :) play on a loop job done....

    The app i have found seems to work well - this has the advantage of being able to adjust the time if we either start early ( if the hall is free) or late.

    Just hope it's loud enough now
