Merci beaucoup. ### 5/5 — A Game-Changer for Routines! *2025-02-05* As a pediatric nurse and now a behavioral therapist, I’ve worked with children of all ages, and one thing is universal—transitions can be tough! The Mouse & Counter Timer has been a fantastic tool for helping kids manage time effectively while reducing stress for both children and caregivers. Pros: ✅ Kid-Friendly Design – The bright colors and fun visuals make it engaging for little ones. Some models even feature cute characters or countdown lights. ✅ Visual & Auditory Cues – The countdown function with a gradual color change and optional sound alerts helps kids understand time without needing to read a clock. ✅ Helps with Transitions – Whether it’s getting ready for school, limiting screen time, or preparing for bedtime, this timer makes transitions smoother. ✅ Durable & Portable – The sturdy build means it can handle some rough handling, and its compact size makes it easy to take on the go. Cons: ⚠️ Volume Control Could Be Better – Some versions may be a little too loud or too quiet, depending on your needs. ⚠️ Battery-Powered – A rechargeable option would be a great improvement. Final Thoughts: This timer is a must-have for parents, teachers, and therapists working with young kids or children with special needs. It fosters independence and helps with self-regulation, making daily routines much more manageable. Definitely a great investment! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5) ### 5/5 — Works Great *2024-12-17* This works great for my son to get things done in a timely manner.

This means the timer is practically useless unless forced to pay. Very disappointed and deleting it. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We’d like to clarify that there are no limitations on using the timer in the free version — you can use it as many times as you need without any restrictions. If you experienced something different, please feel free to reach out to our support team so we can look into it and help resolve the issue. ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2025-03-14* Just a simple timer does not need to have so many ads ### 2/5 — Hi *2025-10-10, version 1.0.14* 👍👍👍 ### 3/5 — Pre-K teacher *2025-01-02* This absolutely makes my students happy to see pictures at the end. ### 3/5 — Review *2024-12-03* Reviewing for the free Pro mode. I haven’t used it long enough to give it a review. ### 4/5 — Great for kids playtime *2025-02-02* Was looking for an app which would help our kids time their play. This is simple and easy to use and fun for the kids. Playtime (and sharing) is much easier now! Would be good if it could be customised with own pictures but it’s a great free app so not complaining. **Developer response:** Thank you for your kind words! 😊 You can choose your own image in the app - just open the "Timer Image" screen and tap the "+ (Add Photo)" button to add your own picture. Enjoy! 🎉 ### 4/5 — Good *2025-01-15, version 1.0.5* Effective and quick. ### 4/5 — Great app *2024-12-11, version 1.0.4* Great app ### 5/5 — So perfect *2026-08-02* This is the best thing ### 5/5 — Satisfecho *2025-11-06* Muy útil !! ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — So much fun *2025-10-20* My kiddo loves it! I’d love a way for the timer to be locked so kiddo can’t pause or stop it **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! You can enable Parental Control in the settings to lock the timer, so your child won’t be able to pause or stop it. ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-04-13* My kid loves it. It helps her to stay on track to get her work done. It also helps that they have cute animals revealed when the time is up. A great incentive. Love it and will continue to use it. ### 5/5 — Kids *2025-04-12, version 1.1.4* Great ### 5/5 — Great for Kids and Routines! *2025-04-09* Perfect for kids! The visual timer helps my child understand time better. Great for routines and transitions. Highly recọmmended! ### 5/5 — Noise *2025-03-30, version 1.1.2* I adore the visuals. However with ASD comes sensitivity to noise. Please leave us more options than 2, including one without any sound, while the timer is running. I am not able to use this timer because of this matter. I am sad as the app has fantastic potential. I paid $ 20 for the annual subscription, but will cancel renewal now, until and unless the intelligent lovely developer add on the aforementioned feature. 💔 ### 5/5 — Great Visual Timer *2025-03-19* This app is fantastic for helping my kids manage their time! The colorful timers for tasks like brushing teeth and playtime keep them engaged and focused. Highly recọmmend! ### 5/5 — Great app!! *2025-02-13, version 1.1.0* I love this app!! It helps my kids get moving. My son loves to count down the last few seconds!! ### 5/5 — Effective timer *2025-02-07* My kids love selecting the different task timers ( e.g., brushing teeth, breakfast, homework). They are much more apt to stay on task. There are more options available with he Pro version, but even the basic one is solid. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
