An app that allows a very large (effectively unlimited) number of timers to run simultaneously. Time multiple cooking pots, time the glue drying time, time the developing of a photographic print, time a time-out, time a turn in Pictionary, time a test, time the breaks between tests when you're a proctor, time a time-out, time a turn in a debate. Time anything! The app uses a dial when the device is in landscape and a digital display in portrait. A timer is very simple to set -- in landscape you touch the dial and drag the dial to the time you want. No longer do you need to scroll through a picker where you can only see several lines. If the devices is in portrait then you touch the digital display and select the time by scrolling through the digits. Creating a new timer is a simple matter of touching a button and then selecting the time scale. You can also rename the new timer and change the order of the timers in the list. A simple, intuitive icon in the list show if the timer is running and what percentage of the time is left. Great for busy cooks, hobbyists, and anybody who needs to time stuff.

bombClock is an app that uses a timer to motivate children to complete any task. Just set the desired minutes and seconds and press the bomb, the timer will start. When the task is finished (getting dressed, brushing teeth, etc.), you can press the Stop button and a positive point will be added to the history. If the time ends without pressing the button, a positive point will be added to the explosion score. The timer will tell you every 30 seconds how much time is left until it reaches the last 10 seconds, at which point it will start a countdown. I hope this app motivates your children to carry out different tasks. bombClock is free to try for 30 days. After that, unlock the full app forever with a single one-time purchase — no subscription.
