Not being able to delete 8 timers I don't want is unacceptable! Please go back to the last version that allowed deleting any timer I did not want. Now I have to scroll through the 8 I don't want to get to a timer I have to add in order to use. Am I supposed to like this change? I don't. Fix it.

I cannot delete timers. They can be unpinned but still stay on my list of timers. The red minus for delete does not come up. I don’t want a ton of pinned or unpinned timers that won’t delete. What has happened? Never had this problem before a month or so ago. Can you help?

Same problem here. Seems like we are going backwards. I use this App a lot and find it more work scrolling through the timers to find what I need or just make a new timer. At least update your instructions where it says push the minus sign to delete. There is no longer a minus sign. This needs to be fixed fast
