Ping_Pro vs AmberCue

PingPro keeps your school day in view without digging through a PDF timetable between classes. Now and Next, at a glance Open PingPro to see your current class and what's coming up next — subject, teacher, room, and how much time is left — the moment you need it. A heads-up before every bell PingPro notifies you a few minutes before each class ends, so you're never caught packing up late. Choose your own lead time, from 1 to 30 minutes. Built for how real school schedules actually work Handles two-week rotating timetables (Week 1 / Week 2) automatically — or switch to single-week mode if your school doesn't rotate. Automatically shows the next school day's schedule after hours or on weekends, and understands breaks as real parts of the day, not just gaps. Import your timetable in seconds Scan a screenshot or PDF of your school portal timetable — PingPro reads it on your device and builds your schedule for you, with a chance to check it first. You can also import a CSV and export it back out any time. Right on your Home Screen Add the PingPro widget to your Home Screen for an always-visible look at what's now and what's next, with a live countdown, no need to even open the app. Light and Dark Follow your device's appearance, or choose Light or Dark inside the app. Also on your Mac The same Now/Next view lives quietly in your Mac's menu bar, so your schedule follows you between devices. Private by design Your timetable never leaves your device. Every notification is scheduled locally — there's no account, no server, no internet connection required. Requirements: iOS 17 or later.

AmberCue is a simple timer designed for classes, academic presentations, lectures, and seminars. Set your presentation time and place Cues wherever you want to be notified along the way. When a Cue is reached, AmberCue lets you know with light, sound, and haptic feedback on iPhone. For example, for a 15-minute presentation followed by 3 minutes of Q&A, you can set a preliminary Cue at 10 minutes, the main Cue at 15 minutes, and a final Cue at 18 minutes. 【Everything you need at a glance】 A large, simple display makes it easy to keep track of time while presenting. Tap the time to switch between remaining and elapsed time. Once the standard time has passed, AmberCue clearly shows how long the presentation has run over. 【Set Cues for important moments】 In addition to the standard time, you can set up to four Cues before or after it. When a Cue is reached, AmberCue can notify you with light, sound, and haptic feedback, so you can stay aware of important time points without constantly checking the clock. 【Save your favorite setups】 Save frequently used timer setups as Presets for classes, presentations, lectures, and other situations. Your usual setup is ready whenever you need it. 【Portrait or landscape】 AmberCue works on both iPhone and iPad. Portrait mode provides a visual overview of your progress, while landscape mode emphasizes a large, highly visible time display. It can also be used by moderators or session chairs to show speakers how much time they have left. 【Key Features】 • Standard time plus multiple Cues • Remaining / elapsed time display • Overtime display • Visual Cue notifications • Three Cue sounds • Haptic feedback on iPhone • Save frequently used setups as Presets • Portrait and landscape modes • iPhone and iPad support • No ads • No in-app purchases For classes, academic presentations, lectures, seminars, and anywhere else you need to keep a talk on time.
