## What is SpeakerClock?

Big red LED digits allow you to see the timer even at great distance so you are free to move while you give the talk of your life. SpeakerClock emulates the famous countdown clock that all speakers at TED conferences need to adhere to.

Start the clock and place it within your view when giving a public talk to see at a glance how much speaking time you have remaining. The "traffic light" gives you visual feedback when it's time to wrap up or make your closing remarks.

Use it for actual public speeches or train with it for the fateful day when you too get the call to speak on important issues.

"Personally I use SpeakerClock when timing the recording of YouTube videos. This way I never run over the maximum 10 minutes there and the "traffic light" helps me nail my closing arguments every time!"

### 1/5 — Dismal...No Help or Explanation

*2025-06-04, version 1.3.1*

I paid for this app.  There is no instruction for using different times.  There is no "help" section for the site.  There is no direction on how to start the noted time of 18 mins.  I regret that this seems to be a fraudulent app.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2024-04-28, version 1.3.1*

I can't remember what I paid for this app... maybe $2.99 and then $4.99 to get the additional presets. Love this App! To get a true speaker timer app to output a speaker clock feed over HDMI to SDI into a show monitor for your speakers on stage and have it on any monitor size of your choice is worth over $100 (what you would pay to rent a speaker timer). 

The app is easy to use. Swipe the mouse to set your desired time. Click and hold on your preset to store it and be able to refresh at will. And simply click to start. 

Basic app but love to use it on shows and the speakers on stage love it too because it keeps them on time ;-)

### 2/5 — Often unresponsive

*2023-10-15, version 1.3.1*

Very disappointing app has good features, but can’t count on it to start with a click, as advertised.

### 1/5 — DO NOT GET THIS APP

*2022-10-11, version 1.3.1*

They will try and rip you off they advertise things for a charge of 4.99 and then have additonal charges to open the features after initial sale. SCAM!!!!!

### 3/5 — colour

*2022-02-01*

i would like to change its colour.

### 1/5 — Paid app + in-app purchases

*2021-04-13*

I can’t believe that even though I paid to get this app I need to pay again to add new timer presets!

### 1/5 — Интерфейс не понятен

*2021-02-24*

После установке не смогла запустить, не работало. Требовался апгрейд. Установка апгрейд ещё раз списала с меня ту же сумму. С интерфейсом так и не смогла разобраться. Нет даже никаких контролов для выхода. Нет информации о приложении. Нет никаких Аметов как это работает. Перепробовала все. 1000 рублей на ветер. Встроенный таймер на айфоне на много удобнее.

### 2/5 — Works but must pay again for presets

*2020-07-30, version 1.1.4*

This is a simple app for $5.  It works as described but asking for another $5 just to have more than one preset is complete BS.  Greedy.

### 1/5 — Сняли 2 раза за покупку приложения

*2020-02-28*

Подскажите, почему у меня с сняли деньги дважды за приложение? Вчера купила и списали 379 руб и сегодня сняли ещё такую же сумму?

### 4/5 — Only needs one thing

*2018-12-17, version 1.1.4*

I’m a speaker who can be a little long winded. I’ve used this app for years with no problems, however, I need to know how far over my time I’ve gone. I could always increase the time, but then I will just use that time as well. I want a visual that keeps track of time after my time is up. :-/
