  • Super cute and easy to use

    We have a visual timer in our house and it’s been so helpful I thought having an app version would give me a portable version. The art is adorable and i love how minimalist everything is - it’s exactly what I wanted, a visual timer - with no extra bells and whistles other than a cute animal hatching when it’s done.
  • Class Loves it!!!

    We think it’s just a fabulous class timer to use throughout the day. One thing we love about it is that there are multiple animals. We come up with different dances for each animal, and so far we really really love the dog, cat, and the shark. In order to get the students to have a great morning worktime, I reward them with more animals to unlock. They can’t wait to unlock all of the animals, it’s well worth the 2.99.
  • Simple, cute and effective!

    I’m a Special Education teacher and it can be difficult for my students to understand the concept of time / timers. Traditional timers don’t work very well for them. Transitions are very important. I recently discovered this app, paid the one time payment of $2.99 and got access to everything. You can customize the pictures that the egg hatches, the sounds and the background. It’s not over complicated and is very effective! My students loved waiting to see what animal would hatch! The only recommendation I have that would be helpful is if there was a feature to make the buttons not push able while the timer is on (I.e. a “kid safe” feature), since sometimes my students try to touch or tap the screen on my phone and can mess up the timer. I’m also wondering if there is a Web/PC version.
  • Nice and fun timer even before purchases

    So I am trying to learn to draw. I watched a video that was basically a plan to get better over the new year. A big thing they say to do is practice drawing poses for 2-5 minutes each. All I needed was a good timer. A real one would be too loud and the default timer app is dead silent until it blasts you after the time’s up. So I looked for a fun timer and found this one. Its nice because it’s free with no ads. And it plays nice music during the timer to remind you that you’re being timed. I still bought premium to hopefully convince myself to turn this into a habit. But yes, highly recommend this app if you’re looking for a fun timer app
  • Great timer app

    My kids are loving this timer app. Has been helpful for potty training and quiet time. It’s fun to add our own pictures. It’s worth buying this app.
  • Great little timer

    I use this for my 7yr old son who has Autism. It’s a great way to help him wait and be patient while waiting for the egg to hatch.
  • Great Idea, Multitasking Issues Though

    I really like the idea of the app, and as a teacher, students pay even more attention to the timer than they normally would because of the surprise factor. The usability though is really struggling, though. Every time I try to split screen the app on iPad, it always fails and the timer becomes offset. The app only works when it’s the only app on the screen.

    Please make it possible for the app to work side by side on the iPad, or floating on top of another app. I’d like to be able to have a document open for kids or the notes/instructions on the screen while the timer is going.
  • Great

    Straight and Simple. No annoying ads. Kids love seeing the egg hatch. My son has autism and enjoys this timer. If you buy the feature you can add your own photo.
  • I like it but I wish that everything was free🙂

    It Was really good for my child and a she did everything so quick I am really thank you
  • Love this timer

    This timer is simple, easy to use, and my students enjoy guessing which animal will hatch at the end. So fun!

    Would it be possible to add an option where the user could create/add their own 'reminder' similar to the way we can add our own reward picture? I'd like to have the ability to add images of a specific assignment or work area within our classroom as the reminder for when the timer ends. Thank you!
