Gametimer makes time awareness easy to understand and monitor by providing clear, visual feedback of time remaining. Children can also view the total game time already elapsed. When the game time limit has been reached, or if it is time for a break, an alarm will sound. Gametimer is cloud based and the settings can be changed in the Gametimer app. This is password protected. When the parental controls are set or changed, confirmation will be sent by e-mail. In the Gametimer app, parents can manage the account, change the weekly clock, and download any necessary software updates.
