Hi,
I’m continuing my adventures with the Task Tracker template ([https://www.glideapps.com/templates/task-tracker-as](https://www.glideapps.com/templates/task-tracker-as)). With folks from this community (especially Jeff Hager - thank you @Jeff_Hager ) I got my own variation of this template to work as I want where it does the following:
- Only 1 task at a time shows
- When the task is checked off, then the next one shows
- Order of task can be determined by a “Task Order” column that I created
The only remaining time is a count-down timer. The user case is this:
> User is on a step where after mixing cake batter components s/he has to wait for 3 minutes for batter to rise. The user presses a button that’s under the current task which causes a 3 minute countdown to start. At the end of the countdown there’s some sound/notification on the screen.
I suspect that the above functionality is more a native thing for iOS and Android but I was wondering if that’s possible for a Glide app.
Thanks for your help.

Yeah, you can’t trigger a sound to play without user interaction here, so I highly doubt it would work like you expect.
