Worked great!
Our poker clock died right before a tournament so I downloaded this free app. It worked great for our tournament structure. We don't have antes, so I can't comment on that, but it does allow you to set up different times for each blind. I couldn't get the sound loud enough to hear it over the crowd. I'm not sure that's so much a problem with the app as just a function of the iphone's internal speaker. Next time I'll use an external speaker.
A configurable warning would be a nice feature, but I can't complain.

Very good app.
The app is very good. Clean, easy to use and do what it says. The only problem is to set the Ante. The virtual keyboard with the numbers stays over the ante text box and I can't figure out how to set it. Just fix this problem and this will be the best free app for the purpose.
Excellent app!!
This app has a good layout and an easy to use interface.
A few things that I would recommend are:
On the clock call timer
Ability to save multiple tournament/blind structures
Different color and background options

Not so great for a loud busy game
I guess it you're displaying it, and 8+people are keeping their eyes on it, it's okay. However, I took it to a game and kept missing the end of the round because the sound is too quiet. This would have been fine if there was a way to simply set it to vibrate, but no go. Also no option for a pre-warning. Everyone kept yelling at me for missing the round, and I had to use the iOS Clock Timer instead.

Does exactly what you need
Blinds levels and a timer in a streamlined black and White interface. Let's you get on with playing poker and bringing home the bacon.
The only complaint is that blinds entry interface is a bit clunky and non-intuitive, but once the blinds levels are set, it just works.

Great app
This app works so great I don't understand why the star level is so low. The Birdsoft team obviously knows poker tournaments. The app has all the options I need and was a breeze to set up.
Great functionality BUT...
... it doesn't run to time. Over 30mins it runs a minute and a bit fast. It's a good app though, easy to use and lots of great options to choose from.
Once you get used to the time being fast, it doesn't matter too much. Still puts the blinds up regularly etc etc so definitely one to download.

What? It's great!
It's clean, simple, and clear to see. It scales up nicely on the iPad. I wish there was a way to choose alarm sounds and alert duration as well as custom background just for kicks, but considering that our poker games have been running off a piece of paper with a chicken-looking kitchen timer (as I imagine most normal poker games are run with), this free app is great!
I'm not sure why there are bad ratings. What could be dissatisfying other than wanting unnecessary poker tools during a live tournament? For what this app is built to do, it completely accomplishes it.

Great
Great and free. Does the job perfectly. Would like up be able to add starting chip amounts though.
Life saver!
I downloaded this app at a friend's home game last night as nobody had brought a timer. People were well impressed! Only 1 question, is it possible to have more than 10 blind levels? Tks
