My kids read every day, and although their school asks for only 20 minutes, they usually read for 40 minutes to an hour. Watching how much their reading and writing improved over time inspired me to build an app that helps other readers keep the same routine. My children gave me a lot of feedback on this app. It wouldn't be here without them! "I love ReadingClock! I use it for my reading time at home and for my homework." - my son "ReadingClock is so helpful! Also my mom always takes my feedback to make the app better!" - my daughter Upgrade to ReadingClock Pro to enjoy the app ad-free.
