## What is ClassTimer?

Our ClassTimer is designed to help teachers transform their classrooms into  amazingly productive environments by assisting students with time management.  ClassTimer helps students visualize time and understand it as fundamental concept that needs to be managed in order to be more productive.  Good time management leads to success in school and work.  

In addition to the digital time display, ClassTimer includes a bar graph style display so that young children can visualize the time remaining for a particular task.  Using ClassTimer children can better understand when the next phase of the school day will begin or when the time allotted for a task will end.

Students at all levels can benefit from better time management skills.  Whether they are taking a standardized test, working in a small group on a project or involved in a form of creative expression, they will be better able to succeed if they properly manage the available time.

The ClassTimer makes it easy to visualize the passage of time.  Several options increase its usefulness.  Selectable buzzer sounds signal that the allotted time period has come to an end.  Sound can be turned on or off.  Usually classroom teachers will use the minutes and seconds display (MM:SS), but in some cases may want to switch to the hours and minutes display (HH:MM).

ClassTimer Features 

ClassTimer has several useful features. In addtion to the very large display, a bar graph style indicator shows the remaining time as a percentage. Timer functions include a user selected audible sound effect to signal the end of a turn.

### 1/5 — Used to be good but stopped working

*2020-11-29*

This app used to be awesome! However all of a sudden it now increases in weird increments and stall. I have updated and restarted it to no avail. :(

### 1/5 — No sound on buzzer

*2018-09-15*

No sound for buzzer

**Developer response:** Please make sure that Sounds in Settings is set to an audible level and the sound volume control on your iPad is set correctly.

### 3/5 — Please remove ticking

*2016-08-03*

This is a great app; simple, easier to use, large font, choice of alarm sounds, timer and a bar graph with percentage of time left.  However, and this is a big however, it is unusable in the classroom during quiet work because the timer makes a clicking noise as it counts down.  Please remove ticking.  Would be straight up 5 stars if there was no ticking.

**Developer response:** The ticking occurs during the last 10 seconds to alert the students that time is running out, however if you would like to disable the ticking sound you can slide the sound control button on the screen to the left or use the volume control button on the iPad.
