  • Love but hate needing to constantly “restore” purchase

    I get the app creators want to put features behind a pay wall. Annoying but I get it. But after making the purchase to get behind the paywall I have to continually “restore” the purchase. The super annoying part is that I have in-app purchases turned off and I cannot restore the purchase without allowing in-app purchases even though it has already been purchased. It takes the cake on annoying “features”. If they could find a way to not have to continually restore purchases (only do it once after installing the app for example) then this app would at least get ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️. However, till that time getting past the pay wall each time you go to use the app negates any benefit the app serves in making a timer fun. Two stars for potential but functionally it is a 1 star.
  • Cute and easy to use

    I looked everywhere for a timer app without invasive in app purchases and that was easy to use, in the sense that it has a nice SIMPLE interface (a timer should be a simple as possible in my opinion). Whenever I was looking for Pomodoro style timers, since I like the clock noise and the native clock app doesn’t have that…most of the apps on the market do 20 other things and are about a more comprehensive organization scheme..I just wanted the timer and I’m very happy with this one. Yes there are wallpapers you can buy, but nothing annoying in the app like adds or offers to upgrade all the time. It’s for children so I think that’s why it’s simple and cute. I don’t care I’m an adult and I LOVE the cute aesthetic and annoying little farm animal noises at the end….it makes me happy and it’s actually a lot prettier than a lot of the interfaces.
  • ATTN parents of autistic children

    My child is on the spectrum and prior to this app, meltdowns were a regular occurrence. Transitions were a nightmare! His occupational therapist recommended the “Little Timer” app. It has worked wonders from getting him out of the swimming pool to chores around the home. He sets the time. He chooses the sounds. He gets a sense of control, and I think that is what sets the is app apart from the others.
  • amazing

    i've only had this app for a couple days and I love it. The music is great. It encourage my kids to start brushing their teeth more often. It makes it funner less intense. I recommend this app for stubborn kids, who do not like to do things at the end there's amazing little animals that will pop up one thing I think is they should have more animals or more sounds but this is an amazing app I recommend this
  • A great tool for any parent!

    This timer has countless uses. Whether it be a timer for clean up or a timer for ending bath time, this app has served my family beautifully. When I first downloaded the app, I used the free version and it was perfect for what I needed it for. But eventually I upgraded it because we used it so frequently, that I felt that having customization options would be nice. We were even able to put photos of our own pets to hatch from the egg and my child got a kick out of that. In sum, I adore this timer app.
  • Great for easily distracted kiddos

    This app has been a game changer for my 5 year olds morning routine. She is excited to complete each task before the timer goes off, and it’s great that you can adjust the volume on the ticking sound so that they remember that a timer is on and they stay on track. Paying $3 to unlock all the animals and sounds was well worth it!
  • Love it!

    I absolutely love this app. My kiddo has autism and ADHD and it has been so easy to transition with this visual timer. She actually looks forward to it when I turn it on. The free version is also amazing because guess what parents?… no adds. I really loved it and saw myself using it long term so I purchased it to get more animals. You won’t regret it!!!
  • Best Timer

    This timer is amazing! My toddler is obsessed. He loves to give me ideas for pictures to hatch out of the egg especially family members. It’s so simple to use with lots of options still. My favorite is you can customize what the timer will say at the end, such as “time to go potty .” This app has helped tremendously with potty training!
  • Feedback

    I did buy premium. It’s a GREAT app, but would be even better if there was an option to have an “almost done” sound. I’m currently using it for potty training and we don’t need to sit and stare at it for 20 min. But if we aren’t ready, my kids don’t get to see the egg crack open.

    Also, wish it could show up on my Lock Screen somehow, but oh well.
  • Best Visual Timer App!!

    I’m a pediatric occupational therapist with over 15 years of experience. This app is possibly the best app purchase I’ve ever made for my job. It combines the simple visual appeal of the traditional Time Timer with excitement that draws the kids visual attention away from the task they’re engaged in, and helps connect them back to me before making a transition. This is consistent with the strategies used in Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI), making it ideal for kids with a history or trauma or attachment issues, as well. I LOVE that I can add my own photos, making it easy to engage a child’s specific interests or even show them what they are transitioning to. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
