### 5/5 — Works as intended

*2022-09-22*

Does the job! Im happy with it when I’m the timer

### 1/5 — No. Expensive with few features.

*2017-03-04*

It costs $10 be able to set your own speech timing. You cannot choose the sounds it makes. You cannot turn off the feature that sounds like a bombing raid alarm. You cannot make a tone audible enough for a speaker to hear. The layout is not intuitive. It does a lot of annoying things that are supposed to be features but are not very well thought out. I tried setting the hard limit to zero and it wiped out my other timings for the speech. This is a very bad investment. Get one of the other free timers and it will work much better. This is probably the worst of all the timing programs.

**Developer response:** The app’s sound volume follows your device’s volume settings. The “overtime” sound is meant to get the speaker off the stage and can be turned off from the configuration panel inside the app.

### 1/5 — Hate this app

*2015-12-02*

Not worth the money. I tried to delete times and it goes back to my home page. I even tried adding times, but does not save those times. It's a nice free app, but don't buy.

### 1/5 — Junkie app

*2015-08-16, version 2.1.4*

I bought this app because I'm a ToastMaster and this is all that was really out there. I do not believe it's worth what they're asking for. They're asking a lot of money for a simple timing app that is sketchy and keeps crashing when you try to delete customized timers. Hold your nose and buy it if you really must get this app. Disappointed in the asking price – it should only be $1.99 or $2.99 tops. I hope your lower your price for others so you don't rip them off like you ripped me off. I've bought apps before that were extremely more functional than this expensive dysfunctional app.

### 3/5 — Custom Time Ranges Don't Affect Default Settings

*2014-11-17*

I paid for the full version of the app so that I could add custom time ranges. After I created one, I tapped it and thought the default would change. It did not. I set a time between 1 and 3 minutes. I was still stuck with the default 5 to 7 minutes. I tried to delete the custom time range, and I was kicked out of the app. Please fix this issue!

**Developer response:** This has been fixed. Thank you for your feedback.

### 4/5 — Good app

*2014-11-14*

Good app. Needs ability to totally hide ALL time so can be used in speech contests. Now the time appears when the color is displayed.

### 1/5 — Works only on first trial!

*2014-10-11*

This app has good intentions, but it needs to go back to the drawing board. Waste my money

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2014-10-06*

When try to change the time a banner or drop down list shows blank, the app stops responding.  Only option is to kill the session and start over, but it does not work anyways.
I want my money back!

### 1/5 — Junk

*2014-09-23*

This free app is completely useless, there are only a few preset times,which aren't really all that practical, and you can't modify them so unless you want a 5 minute timer that turns yellow at 3 minutes and red at 1. This app is junk.

### 4/5 — Works well

*2014-06-13*

I used this in our meeting tonight and found it much easier to use than a simple stop watch. The sounds allow the timekeeper to concentrate on listening to the speeches and evaluations instead of watching the clock!
I would like a mute button  or alternate sound effect settings as the final sound when going over the time limit is a bit too intrusive for my liking.

**Developer response:** Thank you. You can mute the app’s sounds simply by muting your device.
