Great improvements!

With the newly added ability to turn off announcements for Countdown and Activity Begins, Im now able to use this app for my morning routine which starts in a location where others are sleeping and I dont want to wake them with spoken announcements. The app still unfortunately has no way to turn off the Activity Completed announcement, but thats not as big of a deal since people are no longer sleeping by that point, so its only a minor embarrassment.

One other issue keeping this from 5 stars is that I only receive notifications if I start the activity from my phone. If I start it from my watch, all I get is the unwanted "activity completed" audio announcement when everything is done, but no local notifications along the way.

My ideal usage is to start an activity from my watch, receive Taptic notifications on my watch for each new step, with no sound whatsoever.

That said, this is good enough now for me to start using it in my daily routine, as long as I make sure to start the timer from my phone rather than my watch, which is currently the only way to receive its notifications on my watch.

Thanks a bunch for your responsiveness to feedback! I think this is going to be the first third-party watch app that Ill be using every single day!
