Great simplistic timer
I have been using this for over 10 years and it always works perfectly. I can easily read the numbers, either landscape or portrait. I love that it changes color when I hit a preset. I hope that it never gets an update because it is awesome as it is. I’m a preacher and have various uses for it in different settings with different time allotments. I recommend it to all my preacher friends.

Love this app it does what I need it to do, simple to set up and helps me to stay on time.
Review
Not user friendly not able to use at all
It doesn’t work
When I try to use the app, it shuts down. Unusable.

Best timer I found
I looked for a while to find a simple timer. I use it all the time in meetings and events. If it’s a simple purpose built timer that you need this one is great.
Very good app
I like that you can make infinite timers
Extremely useful app!
Whenever I use this at a conference, people ask me “Where did you get that?!” Of course, I got it on the App Store for next to nothing. Highly recommended for iPad as a conference timer, or for iPhone as a personal speaking timer,
Presentation clock
Big, bright colors, clear, makes this so useful
Needs concept of Minimum Time (green)
I was hoping this would be useful for Toastmasters speeches. However it is not geared for that purpose in its present form. In timing Toastmaster speeches, there is the concept of minimum time (eg 1 minute, green), warning time (eg 1:30, yellow) and End Time (eg 2:00, blinking red) and End of grace period or disqualified time (eg 2:30 solid red).

using for public speaking.
i use this app to keep timer for church sermons. it’s great!
Miss the larger plus and minus
The clock part is great. Easy to see. Wonderful. But the old version had nice big buttons for adding or subtracting time. Now you have to press a microscopic part of the screen to get the plus and minus to appear, and actually getting the app to register the touch to add or subtract time is a challenge every time. Terribly user unfriendly.

Does its one thing very well
During timing, this app devotes the entire screen to the clock readout and makes good use of color to signal time's about to run out, or is past the set limit.
The interface for controlling the timer is not perfectly discoverable, and there is the occasional glitch… such as an item in the timer list being connected to the wrong timer. So to use this app well, take care to set it up in advance of live use: Fix glitches (by testing and redefining your set of timers as needed), and practice picking, starting, pausing, resetting, and restarting timers until you're fluent at operating the app.
I am not deducting stars for these problems/challenges because, dude, it's a 99 cent app. It does its one thing beautifully and that's enough.

Great app - does exactly what is described
I love using this and have done so for 4years - I love the simple glance that is required to see the time and colour changes is easy to pick up in the corner of the visual field when giving presentations
I was really motivated to write this review as the only other review doesn’t really focus on the actual practical utility of this app

Power in simplicity
Does one thing and does it well. If you wondered, it also keeps the screen unlocked for the duration of your timer (unlike Apple’s default countdown timer).
Always use this app
As an academic physician I have to give presentations at conferences all over the world. I always use this app to keep my timing on track. I have lost count of the number of times that fellow presenters have said 'I must download that app'.
I like the simplicity, easy customisation and very clear visuals.
Thank you for designing this app for me.

Timer
Simple, effective, easy to use.
Excellent timer
This was exactly what I wanted, but I wish it were possible to turn sound off during thresholds (ie when timer changes colour). This is distracting for presenter. Otherwise, it’s one of the best out there.
Really loved the app until...love it even more.
This was my original post above. But now there is less chance of that because the touch area to start and stop has been reduced. Would be nice if that area were made clear or a stylized Button I still think press and hold to stop would rock. Don't understand what folks complaining about with the running on, as a presenter, you stop your timer when done. You forgot to stop it, that'd be on you. If I go over I need to see how much. This is still the best to me.
ALSO: Suggestion: Please make it where it will stay open as small video window so i can use my Good Reader and have my time rocking at the same time. That would just rock!
