### 5/5 — Keeps it simple

*2024-11-06, version 1.4.3*

I like the preset timer values that work for most Toastmasters functions with the added flexibility of editing time on the fly… The “on the fly” editing gives all the extra flexibility that you need for non-standard speaking times. Also simplifies by automatically setting the “yellow” flag halfway between green and red flags. You can add speaker names in advance and then have a full record ready on your device for your timer’s report.

### 5/5 — Great again, now works with ios15

*2022-07-20, version 1.4.2*

Hoping for an update to get this to work again. Update: Working perfectly again! Thank you to the developer for continuing to support the app. Changed my rating to 5 stars to reflect the update. This is the best timer app for Toastmasters and all types of timed activities. Simple yet effective.

### 1/5 — Was nice

*2022-07-17*

Emphasis on was. The app no longer works - crashes every time I try to open it.

**Developer response:** Sorry for the inconvenience.  The problem should be resolved now.

### 1/5 — Crashes at open

*2022-07-10*

Just thought I’d add this review to give its current usability. It crashes when I open it. I get to see the screen for about one second then it crashes. So I will be deleting it.

### 1/5 — Broken

*2021-12-16*

Seems like it would be a good app, but it just crashes after showing the splash screen on the latest OS.

### 2/5 — Crashes after upgrade to latest iOS.

*2021-12-04*

Crashes after upgrade to latest iOS

### 1/5 — Stopped working for me

*2021-11-10*

Decent app when I first got it, but it has since stopped working on my phone. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling it, but it no longer opens.

### 5/5 — Just plain works!

*2020-01-21*

Last week I was called on the fly to fill in for an absence and be Timer for the first time.  I tried using my phone’s default stopwatch timer, and I found I was nervously paying more attention to the phone and making sure I didn’t miss my prompt to let the speakers know what color stage their speech had reached.  Today I used this app instead, and it was amazing!  Thanks to the brief vibration and the clear color changes on my screen, I was able to enjoy everyone’s speeches while still being on point with my duties.  Edit to add: the custom time options is also excellent, and super easy to use. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Speeches and Steaks

*2019-09-16*

This is a great timer! I use it for Toastmasters AND cooking. Love it.

### 1/5 — Version 1.4.1 broke everything useful

*2017-12-01*

Edit: Version 1.4.1 completely eliminated the color changing screen! At least on my iPhone 6+, making this app worthless. 

Adding ADVERTISING which steals my expensive cellphone data is offensive. I guess Derrick Ho has spoken. Sad. If I still had my Apple Developer Kit, I'd write y'all a FREE program to just time speakers and pop up colors. That's all we need!  Ho had it almost right, then he went crazy on us here. Bummer. 

Previous versions:
Nagging for review loses a star. Pretty good. A couple of places are confusing and don't start the timer when you'd think it would. Hosed a couple of speakers.
Nice that it disables the screen-off. Nice that it has multiple quick options for the basic speeches, table topics, evaluations. Nice that it's customizable. 
Fix the confusing bits, stop nagging, and this could be a 5-star app.

**Developer response:** The next version will change the Ratings Request behavior.
