## What is Telling Time?

Knowing how to tell & read time and calendar is a very important skill. Being able to tell time by looking at a traditional clock and at a digital clock is essential to understanding other things like time zones and international times as well. Learning how to tell time can also help kids with their motor and cognitive skills as well as mathematical skills. Many educators feel that the earlier the age of the child, the better.

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2022-07-07*

It is a good app to teach your children how to tell time.

### 2/5 — Needs a "read to me" option

*2014-01-23*

Would be great, but most kids who need to learn these skills can't read well enough (or at all) to read the directions. Without a "read to me" option it was a waste for my 5 year old grandson. I hope they will add an update that includes this.

### 4/5 — Great Way for Children to Learn to Tell Time!

*2013-05-16*

Great Way for Children to Learn to Tell Time!

### 3/5 — Feedback

*2013-03-26*

A fun versatile app, great to use for tutoring as it caters for lots of different levels and kids.

### 5/5 — Time.Its Easy

*2013-03-18*

This app is absolutely wonderful my children have had a lot of funny leaning on it. I think it would be a great one for students at school to learn on.

### 5/5 — Time app

*2013-02-12*

Great app, really easy to use for my 8 and 6 year olds

### 5/5 — Useful to learn telling analog and digital time

*2013-01-30*

The app is great! It's suitable for different age groups, it's possible to tell the time by hour, or by quarter, or by 5 minutes. The app has a practice mode, in which student can get a feedback - why your answer is incorrect and what you should do to make it right, or you can listen to the time to check wether you set the clock correctly or not. Also it teaches you not only to tell / read the time, but to memorise the days of week, months, seasons and its order, to read the calendar, etc. Nice progress report - parents or teachers can see student / kid's progress on each topic. Best time app!

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2013-01-12*

Deceptive home page. Not at all interesting or interactive as home page depicts. Home page shows potential, but interactive follow thru missing. Very disappointing.

### 4/5 — Lots of good information

*2013-01-08*

I am a second grade teacher.  After looking at all the time apps I could find, I bought this app to use with my students. I love how it teaches analog, digital, a.m. and p.m., AND calendar time.  I didn't find any other apps as comprehensive. I do wish it had the option of more basic time choices (6:45 instead of only quarter to seven).  This is a much more advanced skill and too hard for beginners. It would also be great to have the option of telling time to the half/hour, five minutes, or minute. Overall, a very well-done app and I would recommend it to parents and other teachers. Sound would also be a very fun addition kids would love.

### 3/5 — One improvement

*2012-11-18*

Good app but would be a brilliant app if it had the option to limit questions to quarter past, quarter to, half past and o clock.
