I was wondering is there a way to get the timers to work when the app is closed?

    Yes but you would need to access server based time. @Hopscotch's Appformative has the best solutions for things like this. www.appformative.com Check it out. Some features are paid some others aren't and what you want is a free feature if I recall correctly

    You can use the device clock attributes

    @fmakawa thank you for the mention. :)

    @jeremyfauth1@gmail.com yes, we have various free options to provide offline timers over at www.appformative.com.

    As @Riffel mentioned, you can also use the GS device.clock attributes, although this way is susceptible to manipulation. E.g. if you have resources which replenish over time, a user could advance the device clock and thus get unlimited resources. APPFormative gives you the option of using a back-end server time-stamp, preventing this kind of hack.
