Is it a battle to get your child to do something quickly? This visual countdown App was designed for my 2 year old son to help him get his reward chart star for getting dressed quickly. Getting him dressed used to take forever with many stalling strategies being deployed. Now he runs upstairs asking for the "Countdown". Watch as the timer runs from green to amber to red, helping the child understand that time is running out. A fun picture is slowly revealed as the time runs down and when the time is up the child is rewarded with an exciting sound and the picture spins. Background image changes to match the time of day, so that your child is given subtle hints as to what time of day the task they are being asked relates to. Choose your own image to reveal from your iPhones photo library to really surprise your child. Endless possible uses: * Getting dressed * Getting out the door (shoes and coats on) * Tidying * Brushing teeth * Sharing toys Turns daily struggles into fun time!

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Visual Countdown Timer at 80% against Time Duration Calculator's 33%. Visual Countdown Timer also leads on ratings volume (40K vs 1). Time Duration Calculator's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 7) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Visual Countdown Timer sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Time Duration Calculator asks for nothing beyond the download.
Time Duration Calculator holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Visual Countdown Timer has 40K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Visual Countdown Timer's written reviews are positive against 33% of Time Duration Calculator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
