Can't see the time remaining because the font is too small? VOTimer is a countdown timer with big buttons and clear font. Count down visible from far away. Use it as a game timer at a side of a pitch! Alarm can be configured to only play in headphones if those are connected. Ideal to take a power-nap and wake up without disturbing others. A recipe for success: Cup of coffee, then 18 minutes of sleep, waking up to cow bells from VOTimer, and you are as good as new. Caffeine takes about 20 minutes to kick in, so you wake up doubly refreshed. With an iPhone you can silence and pause the alarm using the proximity sensor. VOTimer is ideal for low vision users and is fully VoiceOver friendly. Usage: To set a timer for 5 minutes, just tap 5 and hit OK. To set a timer for 1 hour and 20 minutes, just tap 1 2 0 and hit OK.
