Francisco Franco's 5217 productivity timer is now free for everyone

Due to poor planning and how Google handles moving applications from paid to free, Francisco Franco's 5217 productivity timer is now completely free to use.

This is a handy app that I use fairly regularly. I had already purchased it months ago, but just did the in-app donation again to send a few more bucks the way of a hard-working developer who always puts the user first.

I respect the work he does for the community, but I certainly wouldn't say he always puts the user first. Don't get me wrong, I know dealing with people on XDA can be a pain in the ass, but if you're making a living off what these people are paying you then you shouldn't be rude to someone who just asks a simple question (whether they tried to search for the answer or not).

I would just like to see him be more professional so that it actually shows he appreciates and respects the community that lets him not have to work a 9-5 job in an office somewhere.

I think some of that comes with the territory of XDA - and I admit that I had a similar opinion of him based on XDA interactions when he was starting to make a name for himself there. I've been following him on G+ for a while now and have been much more impressed with how he conducts himself with people who comment (and even ask stupid questions) on his posts there.
Anyhoo, the app is great for productivity and I highly recommend checking it out (particularly now that it's free), regardless of what you think of its creator.

Agreed. Like I said, I respect his work I use his custom kernel any chance I can and Naptime is very good for what it does
