  • It fully zzMFI

    The problem with Kagan is it provides a host of classroom engagement utilities that great in combination like team and student selector or team builder with one of the timers (another app).

    But none of the KAGAN apps support split screen on iOS or iPadOS. Can’t even get to the top bar without quitting the apps.

    This failure chases teachers back to their laptops or Macs on the desk instead of being untethered and mobile, one step away from any group of students.

  • Like the timers... Wish it did more

    I'm a huge Kagan fan. I like the timers this app has, although they are basic, there are a variety including an interval timer which another reviewer said it didn't. I guess what I don't like is that when your screen goes to sleep so does the app... This could be fixed, but you would have to change your phone or iPad settings to keep your screen on longer. I would have liked to see more too for the money... With the software Timer Tools, which I also have, there are so many more options. Maybe an update is warranted?

  • Timer stops when iPhone sleeps

    One thing a timer should do is be reliable. My Alarm that is part of the iPhone works great even if the phone sleeps to save battery. I love Kagan, but if the timer isn't accurate what is the point?
  • Not what I was hoping for!

    I attended a Kagan training and the presenter used the Kagan timers and I was thrilled to see in their catalog a timer for the iPad and iPhone. Please do not buy if this is the case, you'll be disappointed. The screen is blurry, not the crisp clear screen you see in the photos. The timer did not have the one I was really hoping for either, the one where the timer goes off after each student's turn, up to five students. Bummer! I had high hopes, but this has fallen very short!

  • Poorly Made- not worth the $2.99

    First, I never take time to write reviews. I feel I have better things to do with my time. I am writing in hopes that Kagan will fix this app, or you will not waste your or you school district's money.
    The app has the right basic elements for a timer for a teacher, but it lacks so many common app features, it is unlikely to be used. That is why you should not buy this app.
    Everyone is right to complain about the blurry graphics. This is the first thing that should be fixed.
    Next, it didn't run for me in the background. This is a deal breaker for me. Who doesn't multitask with their device?
    And finally, (I could come up with more, but I have papers to grade) being able to have a few different sounds is important. I believe the sound should match the activity, not work against it. Harsh sounds stop work. Sometimes that is what I want my students to hear and do. Gentle sounds are more transitional, sending the message that "we will keep working but on the next task"he
    Kagan, this app earns a "D" in my grade book for value. I expected an "A" for the price. The real price should be no more than a dollar. I would appreciate a fix or a refund.

  • Another Educator Rip-Off

    Absolutely horrible app design and lack of ANY updates for modern Apple devices (wrong screen dimensions, no app rotation, very VERY blurry graphics, horrible layout, no sound choice options at all, and the list goes on) completely ruin what should have been a simple and very useful tool for teachers. Kagan fix this or stop selling it. It's giving you a bad name!

  • Graphics

    I am hopeful that the next update will be an improvement to the graphics. The graphics on your CD are clear and you have additional sounds to choose from too. I wish this was true for the app!
  • Awful Graphics!

    Wow, I should've taken the reviews more seriously - awful quality graphics! Very blurry.
  • Perfect but...

    Different timers are the perfect amount and all i can think i need in the classroom. For 2.99 however, i was hoping i could change sounds or have other little bonuses. Plus, the quality is very blurry. It will work, and i like having the timers with quick-set buttons.
  • Fix orientation

    Please fix theories tattoo so it goes to landscape . Thank you
