Great app!

Really good app for keeping presentations on time. A settings menu would be helpful. But overall very nice app.

Complete waste of money

I purchased the app AND the in-app expansion. The app launches but when I try to configure it by clicking on the I button it crashes! I have tried restarting the iPhone and uninstalling then reinstalling the app but no improvement. On the app support link there is no way to contact the developer. I will be asking for a full refund. If you are tempted to buy this app, DON'T!

NOT GOOD

Application not good. First negative thing is that it constantly asked you if you want to upgrade to more presets and there is no way of shutting the annoying message off unless you pay your $.99 additional. To me that is a very strong arm tactic that I hate.
There is also no time shown negatively so when the clock hits zero you don't know how much beyond zero you have gone.

It also does not have any sound warnings.

When you hit help but it crashes
Total waste of money twice since I had to purchase more presets to get ride of annoying strong arm messages

PCLOCK is a far better application it has sound and numerals change color at various presets. It also displays negative time as well. Easier to set times with wheel

Great app for sure but would like to see some updates

A great app for sure… I agree that a flashing background would be great when time runs out. Plus a count up would be great too during the overtime...

Check out the recent updates! I have completely rewritten the app and it is now also on Apple TV and Mac, same single purchase. The "longer than 99:99" is one of the next things I'll do, promise! :-) Also, sounds I am considering more deeply now. But I think I'll have to make that configurable to the user's taste. What do you think?

Not great

Too simplistic. The instructions icon doesn't even work, just crashes the app. From what I can tell you have to drag to set the timer and it uses 15 second intervals. Start and pause have no visual indication just double clicking on the time. Seems like it takes too much effort to set the time and intervals.

I have purchased much better ones

This app seems buggy on my iPad 2. I purchased Pclock about a year ago and was much more impressed and was not charged to add new presets - yes, while the app costs 99 cents, you have to pay for additional presets. It had a number of good reviews, so I thought I was missing something. When I click on the "I" implying info about the app, it just shuts down. Going to their website gave me the instructions I was looking for under "I." I had hoped this app would handle short 90 second presentations better, but was generally unimpressed. Setting it is pretty easy once you figure it out, but there is no sound and no overtime timer. Again, Pclock gives me all of this for the same price.

Useless

Does not work and crashes when you try to change the settings or start the timer. Complete rip off, steer clear of this bunch of crap

Really outstanding!

At first, I was intimidated by the simplicity of this app. But it is absolutely wonderful! I've recently taken a Dale Carnegie course and have found that this is the perfect app for writing and honing multiple speeches of any length with a fully adjustable warning "light". An iPhone makes it cool!

Great, simple, effective

Read the usage guidelines. Once you have, very nice interface to work with. Perfect for what we needed.

Works exactly as expected

This is a great app with easy setup and excellent display during countdown. It would be great if we could "optionally" play a different sound from ringtone library at each of the milestone (Yellow, Red and zero)
