The time is not accurate though (went through 2.5 hours in about an hour) — can truly disappoint a child with that, but luckily they don’t really understand time yet (which is why I am giving not a one star, since it could still be useful). ### 4/5 — It is a pretty good app with one annoying feature *2025-07-20* I work at an early childhood center. The children love picking out pictures and watching the pictures emerge as they wait for their turn or break to be over. They actually will be willing to ask for the timer to have their turn, rather than fight over it. The only annoying aspect is that when you set a certain time for the timer. You need to manually put it to that time rather than it automatically starting at the designated time with the picture covered. So that makes it hard if you want to keep the chosen picture a secret from the children. **Developer response:** Thank you for your thoughtful feedback! We’re so glad to hear the timer helps with turn-taking and reduces conflicts. We understand your point about the timer needing to be manually started to keep the picture hidden initially. We’ll look into ways to improve this and consider adding an option to start the timer automatically with the image covered. Thanks again for helping us make the app better! ### 5/5 — Works as it should *2025-03-18, version 1.0.53* Works well but need to pay for the better features. Easy to read display for child ### 5/5 — Behavior Specialist *2025-03-06, version 1.0.52* Very usefuland fun for kids. ### 3/5 — Visual timer *2025-02-22* I do not see an option for anything more than one minute. I cannot give this a fair review or see if it is something I would want to purchase if I am not able to access all of the options. It seems like I should be able to get 100% of every available feature For trial. Period three days is not enough and not enough features are available. I would really love to have sampled this because if I could see that it would do more I would buy it. **Developer response:** Thank you for your honest feedback, Dawnie. We understand that a longer trial and access to more features would help you make a better decision. Just to let you know, you can change the timer duration by tapping on the time label. The free trial is limited but designed to give a taste of the app’s core functions. We’re considering ways to improve the trial experience and really appreciate your input! ### 5/5 — Temporizador *2025-02-17* Guille **Developer response:** Obrigado pelo aviso! Se precisar de ajuda ou quiser que eu responda em português para seus comentários do Brasil, é só avisar. Estou aqui para ajudar! 😊🇧🇷 ### 4/5 — Таймер *2025-02-09* Нормально **Developer response:** Спасибо за ваш отзыв! Рады, что вам нравится таймер. Если есть идеи, как сделать его ещё лучше, дайте знать! 😊⏳ ### 5/5 — Math Classroom *2025-01-31* I use this timer every day. The music choices set the tone and being able to add my own choices is great! **Developer response:** Thank you, C Simonet! We're delighted to hear the timer is a daily help in your classroom and that you enjoy the music options, including adding your own. Appreciate your support! 😊⏳🎶 ### 5/5 — Very Helpful *2025-01-25, version 1.0.51* This has helped my 5 and 3 y/o with sharing and brushing teeth! Thank you ### 5/5 — Appealing visual and audio timer that works *2024-12-23* I downloaded the timer for my son, he enjoyed selecting audio and an image that slowly was revealed as time moved forward. I liked how the timer had audio for the background as did my son. It helped him keep check for how long he had left and complete the task **Developer response:** Thank you for sharing this wonderful feedback! We're so happy to hear that your son enjoys the visual and audio features and that the timer helps him stay on track. It means a lot to know the app is making tasks easier and more fun. 😊⏳🎶 ### 2/5 — Sad *2024-11-24, version 1.0.50* I gave it this review because it cost lots of money to have any other time than two minutes and different pictures it is quite good for brush your teeth and other things but I would like to have more than two minute timers ### 5/5 — Rate Is d *2024-11-24, version 1.0.50* Okhy ### 5/5 — Amazing *2024-11-11, version 1.0.50* I use this app with my asd students. It’s Amazon ### 5/5 — Excellent tool to motivate! *2024-10-02, version 1.0.48* Ty! ### 2/5 — Useful app, utterly unrealistic pricing expectations *2024-09-20* You are asking as much as Dropbox, Google One, some of the very best things out there, with thousands of employees, servers, etc. For a picture of a panda behind a circle?! This is an app you can ask 5 usd / EUR for life time use, max. ### 5/5 — Great teaching tool! *2024-09-04, version 1.0.48* This is amazing. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Wish there was more *2025-10-07, version 1.1.2* It’s always a red panda my daughter says. Wish there was a free way of watching an ad or something to get at least a second character. ### 1/5 — Keine brauchbare Funktionen ohne bezahlen *2025-08-02* Man kann überhaupt nicht nachvollziehen, welche Funktionen die App bietet, der Preis ist ziemlich hoch und für so eine Leistung nicht akzeptabel. Zudem stürzt diese App. **Developer response:** Danke für dein Feedback, JF_2020. Wir verstehen, dass es frustrierend sein kann, wenn viele Funktionen nur nach Bezahlung verfügbar sind. Es tut uns leid zu hören, dass die App bei dir abgestürzt ist. Falls die App einfriert, melde dich bitte direkt bei uns mit möglichst vielen Informationen dazu – wir helfen gern weiter. Wir arbeiten ständig daran, die Stabilität zu verbessern und mehr Mehrwert zu bieten. Dein Feedback hilft uns, die richtigen Prioritäten zu setzen! ### 1/5 — No free option any more, only free trial. *2024-11-07, version 1.0.50* Past reviews said there was a free version with very limited choices. Now, it's just a free trial then very high cost for what this is. ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2024-09-17, version 1.0.48* I was so excited about this app since my son loves them. BUT the sound doesn’t work - I emailed customer service and they just asked if the phone is on on my device. Well, it is and there is no sound on this alarm :( ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2024-07-15* I was so excited about this app since my son loves them. BUT the sound doesn’t work - I emailed customer service and they just asked if the phone is on on my device. Well, it is and there is no sound on this alarm :( **Developer response:** The main reason why there is no sound sometimes is when the device is in silent mode or volume is minimized. It can also happen when the sound is routed to Bluetooth speakers. We tried to do our best to help but have not heard back after we sent some suggestions. ### 1/5 — Bad *2024-05-22, version 1.0.46* You have to by all the pictures ### 1/5 — Okay *2024-05-18, version 1.0.46* Horrible ### 1/5 — Good but expensive *2023-12-26* My little sister loves this app but it costs money if it only was a little bit I would have payed but it’s about $43 a year for a stupid timer DO NOT GET THIS APP THEY ARE TAKING YOUR MONEY AWAY ### 1/5 — Adjusting *2023-09-16* I purchased this for online education purposes. There seems to be no way to increase the time that I can access. I need it to last for more than one minute, but so far that is the only option I can access. This is not what I wanted when I was looking for a visual timer suitable for children. ### 1/5 — Not as expected *2023-01-18, version 1.0.25* This counts down hours, but not days to an event. I even upgraded for $25! I would love a refund. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great. *2026-06-14, version 1.1.10* Kids timer ### 5/5 — Great encouraging timer *2026-03-02, version 1.1.8* Fun for kids and helps parents! Choosing animal picture helps engage the child. ### 5/5 — Great App *2025-11-14* This is an awesome app! It does everything I need in a countdown timer, and the sound and picture options make it fun and interesting without overcomplicating anything. I also love that you can customize it and add your own photos. The only minor wish I have is for a few more app icon choices, but that’s really just a small nitpick. Overall, it’s a fantastic app, and I’m really happy with it! **Developer response:** Thank you so much, Bejan! We’re thrilled to hear you’re enjoying the timer, customization options, and overall design. We really appreciate your thoughtful feedback—and your suggestion for more app icons is a great one! 😊⏳📸 ### 5/5 — This app is amazing I can set timers, but the ones are locked. You can’t do. *2025-09-02* Like I can’t believe it so good but there’s a three day trial **Developer response:** Thank you, Mynaeve! We're glad you enjoy setting timers with the app. Just to clarify, some features are part of the premium version, which includes a free trial so you can try everything out before deciding. We really appreciate your support! ⏳😊 ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-08-29, version 1.1.1* Works well for kids on the spectrum ### 5/5 — Excellent tool to motivate! *2025-06-16, version 1.0.54* Ty! ### 5/5 — Timer app *2025-06-15* I very much enjoy the Timer app that you have produced. It gives a visual for my students and the music that plays with it they really seem to enjoy. Thank you for producing this app I look forward to many more. **Developer response:** Thank you so much! We're thrilled to hear your students enjoy the visual timer and music. It means a lot that the app is helpful in your teaching. We look forward to bringing you even more great tools! 😊⏳🎶 ### 5/5 — Good *2025-06-01, version 1.0.54* Good ### 5/5 — Good tool for toddler *2025-04-30* Helps my son conceputalize the passing of time -- not an easy skill for a little one! He likes to pick the picture when we use. ### 5/5 — Great App *2025-03-24, version 1.0.53* This is a great help for SPED students 🙏🏻 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
