## What is Telling Time?

"One of the easiest ways to learn to tell time and unlike most other apps this one is not childish!" Sonja Hunter

Endorsed by tens of thousands of satisfied parents, teachers, and kids the world over. 

Touch and Learn is a powerful new gaming platform that allows you to introduce new concepts in a fun and exciting new way. 

Touch and Learn allows you to introduce and tell time first just by the hour and then gradually introduce new concepts such as quarter past, half past, etc.

The game is FULLY customizable and you decide exactly what to cover in each lesson.  Wether you want to cover time using an analog or digital clock or whether you want to teach the convention "quarter past" vs. "fifteen" its all there for you.

FEATURES

●  Add your own voice - now kids can learn everything in mommy's or daddy's voice

●  Learn by sight, sound, and touch

●  Includes both analog and digital clocks

●  Times broken into individual units of 5 minutes so its really easy to learn to tell time one step at a time

●  Fun & engaging voice artist keeps kids engaged

●  Wrong answers do not interfere with gameplay, the child can immediately try again and touch the correct answer (most other games are too slow to keep kids interested by slowly repeating the desired question).

●  Multi-sensory learning tool - combining audio, voice, and written words

●  Don't like some of the existing items... no problem, just delete or turn them off to cover only what you like

●  Multi-language support - since you can edit existing items and add new items, you can record everything in your native tongue

### 1/5 — Waste of money. Avoid!

*2020-02-05*

Total waste. Avoid. No digital clock in the middle and makes no sense to use as a result.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2018-11-21, version 2.0*

Does not show the time to tap on the right clock.waste of money

### 5/5 — Telling Time

*2017-10-16*

Love it. And my students love it too! 
Very useful for children who can't talk, who use it to show they can tell time, even though they can't tell you the time.

### 1/5 — Not great

*2016-09-15*

Rubbish. Selections from settings page are not saved.

### 4/5 — Good app for beginners

*2014-02-03*

Great app for my little girl, especially as it has the option of 'the British' way of telling the time i.e. Quarter to ten etc. I couldn't get the customise bit to work but not really an issue. Having tried other apps I found this one the best. Really useful app.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2012-06-06, version 1.0*

This ap is helping my 5 year old son learn to tell time.  I love that it is programmable.  This makes it so he can feel successful and challenge him at an acceptable pace.

### 5/5 — Teaching time

*2012-04-26*

I'm loving this app! Using it to teach one of my clients to tell time and love that it's so flexible and easily customized.

### 4/5 — Almost perfect

*2012-04-10, version 1.0*

I really needed to be able to teach elapsed time as well. Example: it is 2:30 now what time will it be in 30 minutes?

I did use the app and customized it, but I needed more.

### 5/5 — Good app

*2012-04-09, version 1.0*

Good app

### 5/5 — Telling time

*2012-02-25, version 1.0*

The app coordinates both analog and digital times.  I was able to customize the times to fit beginner time learner.  My granddaughter recognizes my clock chimes.  Now I can associate the app clock with mine to promote learning.
