My timer runs 20 times more often than yours and the buttons are pressed perfectly. [https://x.thunkable.com/projects/5f5b046d9b58f198bef24663/project/properties/designer/](https://x.thunkable.com/projects/5f5b046d9b58f198bef24663/project/properties/designer/) ---

On my device, the button is pressed well. I showed you how to handle requests. You decided to do it your way. I’m afraid I don’t want to show the same thing twice. You chose the wrong way to work with data. It makes sense to use timer requests for slow data exchange (no more than 1 time per second). If you need fast data exchange, you need to use Bluetooth, sockets or other more suitable solutions for this ---

Use Web Api in synchronous mode ---

You have to figure this out for yourself. Thunkable X provides the ability to use different technologies, and how to use these technologies is another question that relates to programming. First, understand what synchronous and asynchronous code operation modes are, and so on. I don’t have any documentation. There is only a training course for beginners - [http://droidscript.ru/main/title\_ds15.php](http://droidscript.ru/main/title_ds15.php) ---

I am very close to the success only there is one problem. The animation of the button are weird. It is good in thinkable live but in real device it’s acting weird. [https://x.thunkable.com/copy/52af9dfb3c38004df4141cd181699692](https://x.thunkable.com/copy/52af9dfb3c38004df4141cd181699692) ---

I think the web api doesn’t work on live test. You should try it on a real device ---

you can use the block i used label1 for it is works timer1 if you want to stop timer1, you change timer1 call stop ![Untitled](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/e/5/e53c6b20605c520cfbc7ed2eb2ee0eb4e9bce18d.jpeg) ---

timer1.intervalmilliseconds = 100 timer1 works timing space (every 100 milliseconds timer1 works) timer1.start timer1 is start timer1.fires block it is work every row codding when timer1 is play if you want to stop timer1 you use timer1.stop block label1 isn’t important. i just want to you see timer1 works. ---
