### 4/5 — Adorable timer!

*2026-07-31, version 1.7*

My kids really like this timer. My only suggestions would be to slow down the sound to be at pace with seconds, and the ability to keep track of the timer with the screen locked. 
I love that the visuals are minimal, cute and simple. Very easy to use.

### 5/5 — Recomendado

*2026-07-28, version 1.7*

La terapeuta Ocupacional de mis hijos me lo enseñó y desde ese momento lo uso, casi más de 1 año y me gusta mucho me sirve para sus actividades en casa, como entrenarlo para el baño etc

### 5/5 — Awesome App

*2026-07-28, version 1.7*

I absolutely love this app for working with elementary students with disabilities. Normally timers are aversive because they signal the end of something fun (break) and the beginning of something not fun (work) but with this timer, students actually look forward to it ending so they can see what hatched. And the price for the premium features is incredibly reasonable. Thanks so much for making such a wonderful app!!

### 5/5 — The cutest timer ever

*2026-07-28, version 1.7*

It’s the cutest timer for kids and very helpful I love it!
