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.

Missing 2 features

Great app!! I would love to see one missing feature.

iPhone control. I'd like to be able to sync my phone with the timer and send messages so the iPad is the display only.

Very nice app, would appreciate a few more features.

I really like this app; it's straight-forward and has a lot of good features that let it work in a professional environment.

A few improvements to be made, but overall: very nice.

Public Comment Timekeeper

Fantastic timer for ‘public comment’ meetings. Easy to use for video production work or to help in government meetings where opposing parties have agreed upon time slots for presentations. Customizable warning colors and quick timer reset has helped bring order & respect for others. Ability to specify the output display is great (especially when your board room monitors are only capable of running at a fixed resolution). 5 stars!

Easy to operate.

This little piece of software is an excellent example of utilizing an iOS device in a professional AV setting. The portability, affordability and easy of operation make this an excellent substitute to bulky, expensive hardware timer systems.

The Time-Travel feature makes speeding the clock up much easier. The program asks you exactly what time you want the clock to hit “0” and it does the math for you. No guessing what multiple you need to speed the clock up to end on time.

We use this app to output the clock to our switching systems to send downstage as well as into all the multi viewers using a Grass Valley ADVC-G1 to do the conversion to HD-SDI.

The only professional-grade iPad countdown

This is a great substitute for a computer-based speaker timer. The external display support, ability to make the clock run faster, and even send messages to the talent make this not only a replacement for SpeakerTimer Pro, but it $85 less and doesn't tie up and an expensive laptop! Looking forward to additional features and hoping for iPod touch support in a future release!
