### 5/5 — Clean, Fresh, not mention FUN!

*2012-11-10, version 1.2*

This app is amazing and would recommend it to anyone even us adults! After going to the dentist, I soon realized I needed a better brushing routine. Thus, I found this amazing,fresh app! Get it now for better looking teeth!

### 5/5 — AMAZING!!

*2012-08-28, version 1.2*

all i have to say is FUN and GREAT!!!!!!!!

### 5/5 — Don't forget...

*2012-06-14, version 1.2*

Under settings you can set the timer up to 4 minutes.  Super simple app and it makes me look forward to brushing my teeth.  I would say this app is good for all ages despite the fact that older folks might not want to admit it :)

### 5/5 — GREAT!!!!

*2012-06-05, version 1.2*

This app is amazing. I just got done brushing my teeth and I used this app. They already look whiter!  Thank you! I have had problems brushing my teeth but this makes it fun.

### 5/5 — Works very well

*2012-05-01, version 1.2*

I saw noticeably whiter teeth withing two days. Best app by far!!!😃

### 5/5 — 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 GREAT APP FOR KIDS!

*2012-03-17, version 1.2*

I had the worst time getting my kids to brush their teeth properly. This app is great! The do a great job now!

### 5/5 — I love it

*2011-07-25, version 0*

I have tried several apps but I love this one the most as I can change how long I want to brush my teeth. I have been looking for this app for a while

### 5/5 — Not too bad

*2010-06-01, version 0*

This is a very useful, user- friendly app.  I'd always wondered how long to brush for each part of the mouth. This makes things so much simpler. I have just a few suggestions:
1. I have braces, so I think having an option for braces would be helpful. It would be nice to have a section of tips for braces, etc. 
2. I agree that it's hard to comprehend the diagram and mentally flip it around.

### 5/5 — simple, easy

*2010-02-06, version 0*

Simple and easy. No need for anything more than an audible cue to move my toothbrush to a new area.  I'm brushing more efficiently than ever. No need for fancier graphics. I have far more sophisticated apps, but this simple one is my favorite.

### 1/5 — Meh

*2015-01-09, version 1.2*

It's a fine timer with some perks, but the illustrations are lacking.
It MUST have a more realistic and clear representation of the mouth, teeth, gums, and tongue to be effective. 
I know you're trying to be artsy with the 'watercolor cartoon' look but it's extremely ineffectual and unrelatable, and the 'highlighting' of the areas during the brushing is ABSOLUTELY AWFUL and unclear to a small child.
What were you thinking?

### 3/5 — It's cool but

*2015-03-13, version 1.2*

It froze after the first time using it. It just displays a tongue after I finished brushing and I can't press anything. it must be a glitch. After I exited and relaunched the app it finally returns to the main menu. 

My mouth feels so clean I never used to brush for longer than 20 seconds wow

### 3/5 — coukd be better

*2010-07-20, version 0*

ok works good vut  the changin the mentak thing lol

### 3/5 — Needs music

*2010-01-11, version 0*

Timer is cool but I don't want to be staring at my phone when I brush my teeth. Would be so much better if it played a song from my playlist and changed every 15sec when it's time to brush another section. I like that it keeps track of toothbrush age and dental visits.

### 3/5 — Cute idea - can you flip the illustration?

*2009-05-22, version 0*

This is a great application - fun for my son, who has autism, to use. Just one thing - can you flip the diagram for left and right? Yes, it is correct from an anatomical standpoint, and an adult would understand that. But for a child who is using it, it should be a mirror image. When it says to brush the right side, for example, the blue highlighted area should be on the right as the child is looking at it, which would be the left side of the anatomical diagram. Would also be great if it could store data for more than one user - our family certainly doesn't replace all of our toothbrushes at exactly the same time. Great idea - with a tweak or two I would absolutely give it 5 stars!

### 4/5 — My son is finally brushing 2 min

*2012-06-11, version 1.2*

He loves the gun shot and the visual of what is next.  Thank you!!

### 4/5 — Great Idea !

*2011-09-04, version 1.2*

Considering the prevalence of dental disease and the great cost of neglect, this app can help prevent dental disease and save you money. It includes a toothbrushing timer to guide you through a thorough brushing routine. It reminds you of your last preventive dental examination and the age of your toothbrush. I would suggest including tongue cleaning time in the brushing timer, and a message to FLOSS and reduce the frequency of ingesting ALL carbohydrates.

### 4/5 — maybe add more options

*2010-01-11, version 0*

I really like this app but I think there should be a braces setting or something and while it's timing have a little SPIT part every once in a while

### 5/5 — I miss this app!

*2019-07-12, version 1.2*

This is the best toothbrushing app I have found. My two older kids used it to learn to brush and it really reduced tension at brushing time. Now I want to use it with my third and the app hasn’t been updated and won’t work on my iPhone any longer. Please update. Also, I’d LOVE a kindle version! Thanks!

### 5/5 — Works!

*2017-11-14, version 1.2*

This app works great. You can adjust the timer to fit your needs!

### 5/5 — I've been waiting to find this!!

*2016-09-17, version 1.2*

I have two boys with autism and this is a great visual tool to show them exactly what I mean when brushing their teeth! Other Timers are great but they weren't explaining what really needed to happen. Thanks for making this one.

### 5/5 — Life Changer!

*2015-03-28, version 1.2*

Great app to keep try of brushing your teeth, going to the dentist and replacing your tooth brush. Never crashes too! Use it every time I brush my now. Worth every penny!

### 5/5 — Great app but

*2014-12-03, version 1.2*

There should be a way to add timers for tongue brushing, gums, and 30 seconds of mouthwash. That'd take an extra minute. Also auto play music from library. The app is breaking after the end of the timer lately for some reason!!!! All objects on screen go invisible and it's just the background showing!!! Thank you for a great app!

### 5/5 — Cool beans

*2014-08-12, version 1.2*

This app really works! I just got done using it and my breath smells GREAT!!!
LOVE IT!!  ;)

### 5/5 — awesome but add timing to scrape tongue

*2014-05-28, version 1.2*

I loved this! It made brushing a lot more fun and I think everyone should have this app on there phones/iPods. It makes the time go by quicker! The only thing I could suggest is adding at least 10-15 seconds to scrape the tongue because that is an important part in keeping fresh,clean breath. Otherwise , great job.

### 5/5 — BEST EVERRR
