Horrible
Not worth the $3.00. Can’t pause the timer either. When you try to change the amount of time it freezes every time and have to completely close out of the app and clear it from your home screen.
Wish I had read the reviews.
This app doesn't run in the background, and it's really just a simple story that never changes and a simple timer. I usually use the stopwatch or an alarm on my phone, but thought this would be more interesting. It's not.
Do not buy
I specifically purchased this app because it said it would continue to run in the background. This is not the case, it resets. Waste of time and money. Do not buy.
Very disappointed
I naively assumed that the waiting part would happen between pages of the story, thinking that would be an incentive to wait patiently. Instead, you just tap the screen to proceed through the book and the only time the child waits is when they intentionally tap the button to start the timer. That's extremely easy to avoid and offers no reward for waiting (and in the real world, that's not how it works). I'm not sure how my son is supposed to learn to wait patiently using this app if all it amounts to is a timer, which I have on my phone, and a social story that I could have made up without much effort. I'm very disappointed in this app.

Timer and Story
This is a simple timer to use - it would be nice if there was a way to see what the timer is set for without going into settings (small number in one corner with the digital time).
I like that I can have the story read to me.

I just wish it would also have an optional timer sound
Looks very simple but good - I will try it out on my very impatient son today … my only wish is that this app would be updated to add a timer sound(s) … otherwise I can see my son staring at the timer waiting for the time to be up rather rather focusing on the task at hand.
I am glad I found this app
The app will teach my little niece how to be patient. It clearly explains why it's so important. The problem with the kids is that they learn and forget in order to do things that are fun. This app will be good reminder to stay patient all the time.

Great app really helped me out a lot and i will continue to use it often! Great job!
For my brother
I downloaded this app to help with developing my little brothers patience. He spends a lot of time on electronic devices so I figured he might as well use it to develop his own traits. I thought I would have to force him into it, but he seems to genuinely enjoy it. It is definitely worth the download for children to develop patience while having fun.

This works GREAT!!
This app has significantly helped my son(who has ADHD) learn patience. I tried quite a bit to teach him, but nothing seemed to work. Since downloading this app I have found him sticking with things for longer than before. I definitely suggest getting this app for any child having trouble learning to wait.
