Hey @eddsaura,

Thanks for opening this issue.

Could you create a reproductible example of this issue, for example on https://stackblitz.com/?

Thanks.

Hi @thibaultboursier, I have a similar issue as @eddsaura I guess.
Here's a demo: https://stackblitz.com/edit/react-dpshem?file=src/App.js

Issue 1: click "Update initial to 20", see nothing happens. Expected from my side: initialTime is set to 20.
Issue 2: click "Add 20" and afterwards "Start". See 20 is added to the initial time but removed as soon as timer is started. This is for me even more critical and feels related.

What do you think?

Thanks!

Sorry! I finally had to do it myself. Thanks for answering tho! <3

This issue has been fixed on the 'develop' branch (although a reset is required before a new initialTime is reflected). Unfortunately there is no release, but I've used it without issue.

+1. Thank you for raising, @eddsaura! Came here to discuss the same issue.

My use case is building a Pomodoro timer in React where I want to reset the timer back to various initialTime using a useState variable within the component, but noticing initialTime does not change after its initial set value.
