A simple game of Catan inspired us to create this App to improve our game experience. It helped us to control the flow of the game and allows us to finish a game more timely AND keep it fair to every player in the game.

Our recommendations:

BASE GAME
- NOOB - 120 seconds (02:00 minutes) is a good start for all player levels.

- PRO - 60 seconds (01:00 minutes) is reserved for Pro players and quick negotiations and decision making.

CITIES & KNIGHTS
- NOOB - 180 seconds (03:00 minutes)

### 3/5 — Works well but…

*2023-04-29*

Sound quit working.

**Developer response:** Hi, many thanks for your support and feedback. Could I confirm if the sound worked before and stopped working? Or sound did not work at all? If the latter, we have received similar requests before and here are the options you can try first:
1. Please ensure the mute button on the side of your iPhone is switch off.
2. In the settings please ensure to switch on the sounds you wish to use
3. Restart App or reinstall App

Let me know if this worked.

### 5/5 — Simple. Effective. 👍

*2023-01-07, version 3.1.1*

Finally found an app that manages excessive game time.

### 5/5 — Solid timer

*2022-12-21, version 3.1.1*

It has everything I need to keep board game flow going. A couple improvements would make it perfect for me. I have fat thumbs and struggle to hit the pause button, it probably needs to be a little bit bigger. Another button to add time during a turn would be helpful. Like adding another 30 seconds to a time. Besides those small recommendations it’s a great timer.

### 4/5 — Pretty good

*2022-09-16, version 3.1.1*

It feels like its missing some features such as removing the minutes for games that have turns that are around 30 seconds. It could also use more visual options like a circle around the timer that depletes or an hourglass to make it less boring. Lastly their needs to be an option to choose from multiple sounds. It is great otherwise and $2 to remove ads is more than fair.
