No sound

Sounds doesn’t work at all

Pretty cool application… I guess?

This is a cool application and all, the ads don’t annoy me (just turn off WiFi connection) and I do like the visuals. However, there are just 2 things that brings it down a star…

Firstly, there isn’t an option for having NO image. I know a couple of you guys might say that you could pay to unlock the “import image” button, but I’ve already done ENOUGH in app purchases already, and I don’t need to spend any more money. Even though I’m 11 years old, I only have 8.94 dollars.

Secondly, I remember a cool glitch you could do where you could set the time to as many minutes as you’d like (the maximum was 999) but I guess in the last update they decreased the limit even MORE to only 60 minutes. Well, what would happen if your child had to do homework for 90 minutes and used this timer? How would you set it?

Overall, this app deserves a 4 star rating.

Fun timer!

This timer is fun and cheap! My daughter loves to guess the picture when it counts down. You can also add your own pictures too.

Perfect visual timer

Exactly what I needed to help my kids understand how much time they have to do a task… really keeps them on track. The free version did the trick but it’s totally worth a couple bucks to access more songs and images. We like to use our own photos, it’s really fun and keeps my kids engaged and making progress on their chores.

No music when timer goes off even when purchased!!!

So angry. Bought this app and purchased in app purchases to get sound and nothing!! No sound which makes this useless. Scam.

Never download this app it absolute rubbish

Absolute rubbish do not download

Omgggg

Hello hello hello! I have rated this 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ stars

fun

This is a really fun and entertaining app for kids like me I don’t have any reason to deny this app

Bad Music

I hated the music when the timer was up

Visual Timer

My kids and students loves this visual timer. They transition easily after the time is up on the timer.

=(

So I got his for my son but the ads it runs are for adults. not safe to just leave with my child

Money trap

This app is fun until it becomes clear it’s a money trap. We spent money to unlock every different clock, but it kept showing ads unsuitable for kids. Then we paid 2 dollars to remove all ads, but it kept showing ads and prompting us multiple times to spend 2 dollars again. We have deleted it and will never use it again.

Works great

This app works exactly as I need it to. It doesn't have too many ads and they always pop up just before I set the timer so I don't have worry about it. While the song can be a bit annoying it is SO much better than some of the noises other timer apps make.

Expect to spend money

This app is just what I was looking for. A visual timer plus the number of minutes and seconds on it. I like that it also has music you can turn on and off, and you can adjust the timer up or down in 20 second intervals if you need to while it's working. (If you have a child that may do this while you're not looking, I suggest turning it on then turning on the Guided Access so they can't click anything on the screen.)

What I don't like is that, although you can use this for free, there are an overwhelming number of pop up ads with in app purchases. Within the first 2 times I used this, it drove me mad so I paid the $1.99 to remove them - phew, done. I really wanted to see what the other pictures and sounds were (for free you can see 4 of the 12 pics and hear 1 of the 3 sounds and the rest are greyed out). So again, I paid another $1.99 to get access to everything.

I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because again you "could" use it for free, but expect to spend either $2 or $4. Now, I'm generally a frugal app person and really never pay for apps (there are so many free ones out there, why would you) so that's how they got me interested, but in this case as I mentioned, it was exactly what I was looking for and saved me from having to go out and buy an egg timer or more expensive kids timer.

Inappropriate ads

As soon as timer ends ads pop up. One of the ads was very very inappropriate. No, I'm not a paid user BUT this app is made to be used with children. Shame on this company for not monitoring the content that our children are viewing. Shame on myself for trusting some random app whose sole purpose is monetary. Never again. Deleted and warning others.

Excellent but could use more customizations

Cute app that works for my kids. Wish there were more ability to customize the music.

Can barely use because of ads!

The ads are every second or so and sometimes cover the whole screen and force a video. Very disappointing.

Great help

This app has been a great help with the finishing of never ending tasks, such as tooth brushing. The music is cute, and kids love to see the picture after the timer is up.

Terrible ads

Do not get this app unless they fix the ads

Not happy

We were very disappointed that after paying for this app a ton of adds, most not appropriate for kids, were popping up all over the place. Would love to get my $$ back!
