Hurry up! *2019-01-22* Great for board games. I downloaded a half dozen different apps looking for one like this. So glad I kept looking - this is exactly it! We like to “count up” instead of set a timer and we add a rule to all our games where the player with the shortest time gets a bonus (10 points) and the longest time pays a penalty (-10). Use with any game, but some lend themselves more easily to timing (Carcassone, Ticket to Ride, Catan, etc...) ### 5/5 — Great for board games *2017-04-16* This is one of the best thought out interfaces on an app. Great original quirky type and screens. Has great functions you want for timing games: game time limit; multiple coloured players; simple start/stop; random player; multiple player; auto all-player; stats at game end. Well done! ### 5/5 — Does it's job well *2017-01-31, version 2.0* This app easily lets multiple (more than 2) players see the time count up or down and even allows for simultaneous and individual control of times. Very cool. ### 4/5 — Simple and straightforward *2016-07-12* 3 things would improve this significantly: 1. Ability to select the colors in any order so that turns move logically from one player to the next from left to right. 2. Ability to add names to each color. 3. Ability to add time for each turn when in countdown mode (so that each turn adds another 20 seconds to the clock, for example.). Player order would be important for this. ### 5/5 — J'adore !!! *2016-04-12, version 2.0* Appli trop mignonne et ludique, avec un grand nombre de joueurs possibles et des stats pratiques !!! Dommage qu'elle plante de temps en temps. Je l'ai retelechargée et ca va mieux :) vivement qu'elle soit améliorée et qu'elle figure dans le top des app ! Elle le mérite !!! AMIS JOUEURS NE LA RATEZ PAS !!! :))) ### 5/5 — Tolle App *2016-02-28, version 2.0* Genau was man braucht um bei Brettspielen die Zögerer anzutreiben wir vergeben für die Zeit zusätzlich Bonus Punkte 👍🏽 ### 5/5 — Great timer! *2016-01-22* Great simple free timer to keep board games length in check for up to 8 players. Suggest adding an option to include names or initials to the player icons. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 2/5 — Can’t mute, can’t edit ongoing times *2021-01-20* Good premise, and one of the few apps that supports increasing timers. But let down by annoying sounds and inaccurate ui (small tap areas at times, can’t edit ongoing ) ### 2/5 — Would be far better if it had a ‘seconds’ option *2020-07-19, version 2.2* Would be far better if it had a ‘seconds’ option. ### 3/5 — Very nice! *2018-03-16, version 2.1* We need a Brown player! Long live Gaia Project. ### 3/5 — Simple *2017-03-26* This is lacking the ability to move on to the next turn, as far as I can tell. Currently you have to wait for the timer to run down to zero before progressing to the next turn? ### 4/5 — Simple & Clean *2025-05-19, version 3.2* Exactly what I have been looking for, not overloaded with features and yet getting the job done. If there is one thing I could still wish for: in the count up variant, I'd love to see the current turn time (not only the total time), that would be very helpful! Oh, and does this app not support family sharing or am is just missing something? ### 4/5 — Exactly what I needed except no way to disable sound! *2024-01-05* Would def give 5 stars if it had this option ### 4/5 — One feature away from 5 stars *2023-07-20* I really love the ability to give someone a total time that’s counting down, not just a time-per-turn. It’s really nice for when we’re pressed for time. I also appreciate the ability to drag the timers to whatever position we want. The only thing I really want is the ability to have the timer move automatically from one player to the next. ### 4/5 — Great, but a little advice *2021-10-15, version 2.2* Works really well. Would love to be able to connect multiple devices to a single timer, so that each player could control his timer from his own phone. ### 4/5 — Very nearly perfect *2020-05-17* This is almost exactly what I’ve been looking for. The only way to improve it would be to add a mode where when a player’s clock is stopped the next one starts automatically and you can’t just have all the clicks stopped. I’ll use this timer and get around it by saying that each player should, at the end of their turn, hit the next player’s clock. But that’s more confusing and it would be nice to be able to hit your own. Even better, in that mode there could be just a single button that everybody hits that moves it to the next player in order. That would make it like the old G8 Game Timer. ### 4/5 — countdown turn by turn *2018-03-13, version 2.1* ---------- Bonjour, Timer fantastique pour tout type de jeux. Pour que votre application soit parfaite, il ne manque que : * compte à rebours tour par tour, pour jouer par exemple à « Full Metal Planete » * des secondes sur les comptes à rebours ---------- Google translation Hello, Fantastic timer for all types of games. For your application to be perfect, all you need is: * countdown turn by turn, to play for example to "Full Metal Planete" * minutes and seconds on countdowns ---------- ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-12-26* Love the clean interface ### 5/5 — Great app, small request *2023-12-30, version 3.1.1* Can you please change the time options for count down to every minute. It currently has 5 min intervals above 10 mins. I need to be able to set 12 or 24 mins for example. Great app! ### 5/5 — Thanks! *2023-12-01* My only problem is that I’m having no luck connecting to customize. It’s a wonderful app. ### 5/5 — The latest update fixed the problem : I really love this app 😁 *2023-10-17, version 3.1.1* I’ve been using this app for quite a while now in my physed classes (I am a physical educator in a primary school). I have invented a turn based physical activity game which is kind of dependent of this app. Over the last few years, the game has grown to be one of the favourite physed game in the school. Although the last update was great, it unfortunately removed the thing we needed the most : the ability to make 1 minute countdown turn based game. Now, with the new update, the shortest countdown I can set is 5 minutes, which is way to long unfortunately. The app would get a 5 stars rating if it brought back this little detail. ### 5/5 — Genau wie ich es will *2023-03-02, version 2.2* Alle Funktionen, die ich mir wünsche, einfach und übersichtlich. Danke! ### 5/5 — Simply brilliant *2023-02-18* Incredible ### 5/5 — Perfect! Exactly what I need! *2021-09-03, version 2.2* Perfect! Exactly what I need! And it free with no ads. It would be great to ad a button on a main screen saying “Next player” or “Next turn” to automatically switch to next player. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Tut genau was es soll *2021-04-10, version 2.2* Kleine App, schnell gedownloadet, tut genau das was sie verspricht. Alles top. ### 5/5 — So good *2019-06-28* Very elegant and simple design. It would be great to have a list of what the overall time was as well, for example time during the game that no one was taking a turn etc. I’m very impressed with this timer though. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Smart, simple, effective! *2019-04-14, version 2.2* By far best App I found to track time used per player per game. Very simple to use. Cool design. Most important features available as simultaneous turns and countdown (total maximum game time per player). --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
