### 3/5 — “Equally sized segments”

*2021-11-14*

The basic design of this app is great—a sense of where you are in the time period conveyed only through colors. But I would really like the option for the segments to be sized in proportion to their length. 

And speaking of basic design, the interface certainly is basic. It gets the job done though!

### 5/5 — Works great!

*2019-05-11*

Great app. This is the perfect app to help keep you on schedule when you are giving a presentation or leading a meeting. I always know where I  am without staring at a clock.
