What's New in productionTimer

3.1

July 2, 2026

This update fixes issues on devices running iOS 15: • Resolved a crash that occurred when launching the app. • Fixed NDI and SRT video output, which could previously appear black or freeze on the standby screen. The broadcast now displays and updates the countdown correctly. Devices running iOS 16 and later are unaffected by these changes.

User reviews

almost perfect

if they added a overtime feature to the app for if a presenter goes overtime would be great

good, but could be better

I think so far best meeting timer I have used, support for the cable would be nice, but airplay is fine. Please fix issue with settings not saving, I always have to reset my color settings because they do not save on my ipad air2.

Response from developer

Hello. Regarding support for the cable, productionTimer supports any external display recognized by iOS. If you have an adapter you can use to see the iPad on a TV, it will work as an extended display with productionTimer. As for the settings saving, this will debut in a future update.

Presets

Amazing app. Please at 3-4 presets that can be user defined?

Almost perfect

I think this is a great product. Love the ability to send a message down to the presenters.
The only thing I'd add would be 3 or 4 preset buttons, so the transitions between speakers, particularly if they have different time allocations, would be seamless. Adjusting times can be tricky when the graphic switcher operator is running the timer too.

Response from developer

While we don’t currently support presets, you can use the following method to prepare for the next presenter: 1. “CHANGE” the time to that of your first presenter. 2. “SET” that time to the clock 3. “START” the clock 4. While the clock is running “CHANGE” the time to the next presenter. 5. When you want to start the next presenter, tap “SET”

Great app

Purchased this app due to that our speaker timer was in use and needed another in a snap.

Great app, could use + or - min. Would be cool if you could put a logo under the timer, and or background of timer.
