Is there any chance of making it so the timer starts as soon as you roll? ### 5/5 — Extremely intuitive and very useful app *2016-05-13* Are your games slower than you like? This speeds our game up without taking anything away from the fun. Keeps track of turns, rolls dice, # of wins and more. We can get an extra game in every night using this app. Love love love it. ### 5/5 — Even better than before *2016-05-07* Wow, that guy John must play a sheetload of Settlers -and now with his timer, you can too! Seen too many 7's in a row? One guy can't remember his turn to save his life? Want to talk smack after winning? This update is for you. Great timer for a great game! ### 5/5 — Great app! *2014-06-17* Best Settlers app I've found! Love it! ### 5/5 — Stats and Facebook added to streamlined app! *2014-06-09* Why do you want a timer when you play Settlers? Let’s face it, it’s because one of your friends is really really slow. What better way to speed up their play than showing them summary stats of how long they took — and then posting it all on Facebook with a picture of the winner?! Brilliant! This app already had a streamlined design. If you want a simple game you can start in seconds with no set-up. If you want the app to handle more game play (like Cities & Knights, whose turn it is, etc) then you step through a couple screens and you are up and running in a minute. Now it has Facebook integration also — fun and useful! ### 5/5 — Works as advertised *2014-06-06* Die Siedler von Catan as my German friends call it is even better with the timer. Digital Dice also a time saver , especially after the dice rolling is impacted by our “Drink for being robbed rule is in effect." ### 5/5 — I won't play Catan without this app! *2014-06-04* The timer keeps things moving. The dice feature creates a whole other level of strategy. Try it once and you won't play without it again. ### 5/5 — Great App! No more, "Hey, buddy, it's your turn!" *2014-05-13* For a quick game or a night of Settler-rama, this app makes it quick and easy to get started and run the game with little of the harrasment and headache that goes with playing with one of those guys who can't ever seem to get his turn together. Get it now, and forever you will be glad! The Chad! ## Frequently asked questions about Time for Settlers ### What is Time for Settlers used for?

I swear it won't crash. I dare you to try it. - There was a bug that would just plain stop rolling the dice or advancing the player if the robber sound was set to 'None'.
