one major flaw

Ive only been using Howler Pro for a couple days, but in general it works quite well for me. Has countdown timers, alarm and stopwatches (though you cant save a stopwatch as a preset for some reason or create one directly--you have to create a timer and then switch it to be a stopwatch, which makes little sense to me).

However, there is one *major* flaw to the app that causes me to dock it 2 stars: if you stop a timer, then when you start it again, the timer is now forevermore a timer for only the remaining time. This becomes a big problem if you have, say a 10-minute countdown timer that repeats (so that after it goes off it will start again automatically). If you stop that timer with 7 minutes left, then when you resume it, it will now be a 7 minute timer. This means that when it goes off, you might reasonably expect it to start counting down 10 minutes again, but instead it will only count down 7 minutes over and over. There doesnt appear to be any way to change this behavior, so I now need to remember when Ive paused a repeating timer, because when it goes off, Ill have to fix it manually.

I cant think of why anybody would want a timer to behave this way, but at the very least there should be the *option* to have it act like pausing any other timer in the world.
