ABA therapist using it every day. Excellent app. Many kids benefit from transition timers, and the more visual, the better. This app is used every day at our therapy center. We don’t always use the ticking sound, but for shorter transitions, the sound cue is great. My only suggestion would be to enable switch to landscape mode on the iPad version. Most iPads don’t stand up in portrait mode, and the picture appears sideways when it’s on its side.

My son loves it. Great timer! We love how it ticks, so there are both visual and auditory cues. The reward image at the end is great for kiddos that need motivation to stay and wait until the end. Our son has Autism and this is a great timer that we constantly use. It has helped him wait out temper tantrums, potty training, and so many other things. We have recommended this app to several other parents and even his therapists use this now as well! Our son actually also loves the commercials at the end of the time so it doesn’t annoy us. It’s actually one of his “rewards” and he looks after it :) One thing we also love is how the ticking sound accelerates as it gets closer to the last one minute mark. It’s a great free app!

Mamaneen. This app is pretty wonderful. We began using it at bedtime for my 4 year old, but I could also see the benefit of using it in a special needs class or during therapy sessions. I agree with the other suggestions of adding an option for sound when the time is up, and adding an option to pause, but one other thing I would love to see is the option of also being able to see a number countdown at the same time, so I can tell at a quick glance how much time is remaining.

Online time timer. I love this product! It helps my special adult clients be on time for all kinds of things. They have trouble judging the passage of time. Time Timer makes an abstract concept, the passage of time, visual! And that is just such a big help for us special people.

Time out for kids. I used this for some kids I was working with who weren't listening and they LOVED it!! Worked very well with redirecting them. They LOVED watching the pictures being revealed and one child was BEGGING me to do it again and again and again.....

Simple visual timer!. This timer works great for my four year old. The interface is simple but also customizable if you choose. Probably my only complaint is that it doesn’t go longer than an hour - sometimes it would be nice to have a visual of a longer period of time for instances like “we are leaving for the airport in two hours”. Otherwise, I would recommend it!

Custom picture loads rotated 90 degrees to left. Custom picture loads rotated 90 degrees to left, although it doesn't look like it when you first select it. If you return to Custom picture, you will immediately see the incorrect rotation. Also, why must there be two "10" circles on the display, which are not actually buttons (although they look like they might be)?

Awesome app, a couple of suggestions. This is the best visual timer app I have found for iPhone! I work in special education and I use it to time worktime (e.g., 10 minutes left of math) and breaks for kids. I have it set so the picture is not revealed until the time runs out, so students don’t get distracted by the picture when they should be working. The sneaky pause & add/subtract time buttons are great for subtly adjusting time without having to stop the timer completely. I like this app so much that I paid for the premium pack instead of just removing ads because I wanted to support the devs. My two suggestions are 1) show time somewhere, just a little digital timer like the default phone timer countdown, and 2) keep the picture on the screen when the countdown ends until the screen is tapped or something. If the child isn’t looking at the timer right when it runs out, they miss out on seeing the picture. While I love the visual timer, I don’t want my students to only stare at the timer or get fixated on watching it at the end to see the picture. It would be nice for them to still have a chance to see the “reward”/celebration screen.

Upgraded to “Ad-Free”, but.... We just started using this timer to motivate our 4 year old to complete necessary tasks in a reasonable amount of time. So far she loves it! That’s why I paid up for more pictures and what I thought would be an end to ads after each timer session. Ads still appear, so perhaps I was mistaken? Edit: The app developer contacted me right away to discuss the problem. They discovered a bug and fixed it with an update. No more ads!

Great timer app for small kids. I have a 2 year old (almost 3) and we had issues with transitions. We used to set Alexa timer but he would get upset when that was done. Now we use this and it’s a world of difference. We set the timer and show him how much time he has and every so often show him how much time he has left during activity. When it gets close to being done I ask if he wants to want it explode. He understands when timer is done he is done with activity (usually playing for a few extra minutes) and is actually happy to go on with his routine. We have not had as much whining after timer is done and when we have it’s been minimal. I think being able to SEE how much time he has left is great and he is able to understand that much more then being told he has 5 minutes.

Good timer for everything and everyone.. My 3 year old uses this in "cool down" she actually sits there and watches the timer until it is done. Only thing is recently we don't have pictures when the time is going down. Other than that I recommend it.

Must have app open to work. For me this would be a 5 star App IF I could set the timer on my son’s iPad then let him play on the iPad while it did it’s thing in the background. I set it up with a custom picture of him on his potty seat. I had hoped that it would go off while he was playing on his iPad as a audible/visible reminder to go potty to help him learn to initiate it. He’s developmentally delayed and is just now potty training at 5 1/2. He often has his iPad with him at all times listening to music or books as well as using it for communication so having a fun timer on that was what I was hoping for (and one he can’t jack with unlike the timer the iPad comes with). There are so many other things I could have used this for, especially with the ability to put a custom picture that would essentially tell my son what it is time for but since it won’t function if you are doing other things on the iPad it’s a waste for us. Super disappointed.

Not much better than free version. Started with the free version. Kids loved it. Tried to upgrade to premium within the app to unlock all the picture packs and couldn’t figure it out. I guess I had the in app purchases turned off. So I searched for it in the App Store. Paid for this one and only got no adds and custom pics. It’s ok and maybe it was due it my own misunderstanding but if I had known that all the picture packs didn’t come with it I would have stuck with the free version. It is nice to not have the adds though.

Good. Simple, but needs a little more.. Very simple, which is what I want, but couple of suggestions: 1) Option for actual numbers to show so we know the exact time remaining. 2) Option to add different music or sound during the countdown 3) Option for music or a beeping sound to get louder or something apparent to signal 1 min or 30 secs (or whatever we choose) 4) Option to add time or decrease time during timer countdown

Time-Out/Sharing Items. This app is a great tool to use for time-out or sharing items/toys! Awesome visual cue of timer that shows the count down, which is great for young toddlers who cannot read the clock yet. They enjoyed this timer and will remain seated in their time-out until the count down is over. They also knows they have certain minute/s to share an item/toy with someone else after holding/playing with it. This app has a different pictures that my child would choose to reveal at the end of countdown, which motivates them to watch and listen to the sound at the end.

So amazing for Childcare!. I have been utilizing this app as a de-escalation technique for a couple of years. When the little ones have gotten to the point where they are unable to self-regulate, this is an amazing distraction technique where they can sit and take deep breaths while watching the colors change, hear the sounds, and trying to guess the picture. I can even get them excited by using a picture of them for the countdown. Thank you!

Great app, just one problem. I love this cute timer. I am a preschool teacher and I use it everyday, but there is one problem. The kids love to guess what the picture will be and watch it appear, but when the timer goes off they will miss the final result unless they are right in front of it. I would give this app 5 stars if the timer would continue to make noise and show the picture until the user turned it off. Please consider making this modification to your app so the kids can enjoy it even more.

Helpful for Speech Therapy. This visual timer is helpful for speech therapy sessions so the students can see how much longer they have to work. I went into settings and turned off the ticking sound and the progressive picture reveal so that the kids are not distracted. One suggestion, I would use this more if the app rotated so it can be used properly when my iPad is in the horizontal position. The app doesn’t rotate from vertical to horizontal. That is my only criticism. Other than that, the free version with the ads is working well for me. Thanks.

Awesome app to with children!!!. I am using this with my three-year-old granddaughter. She asks to play for 5 extra minutes and she can visually see how the time passes. She loves checking how much more time she has, seeing the picture and then goes off to nap happily. What a change from the battle we used to have!!! Just wish it had an audio alarm at end of time.

Perfect for kiddos. I use it to teach the concept of time, but I show when we are done “working” and it is time for play. It is great for my son who has autism. When the timer goes off, he can have free time. When the timer goes off, we need to clean up, and so on. They can visually see how much longer it will take for the next step. If you don’t like the ticking, simply turn your phone down or use the ticking to teach about how long a second is, minute, hour, and so on.

This is the best invention for small children and special needs!!. A timer that’s visual is beyond helpful Fort all children. It helps with waiting and calming down. As a teacher and mother THIS particular timer is visually stimulating and my students and my little child all request it. From brushing teeth, cleaning up her room, getting dressed, and brushing teeth (at home) to fun games and skills in the classroom…. This timer has been my favorite for years. I have suggested it to other teachers as well as mothers and fathers in my playgroups. I highly recommend this!! Plus it’s super cute!

Children understand it.. We use this for Time Out discipline and for play timers. Our daughter responds very well to timers. If you tell her it’s time to do or not do something, she sometimes reacts poorly. If we set a timer and let her know “you have [x number] of minutes left (to do whatever)” she will police herself and stop the activity when the timer goes off. This works great because your child can hear the timer clicking. Also, as the time winds down (30 seconds, then 10 seconds) the pitch raises a bit giving a sense of “time running out” urgency. We use the default Duck quack sound. When the time runs out, a duck quacks. Highly recommend this!

Great app. I love the app to set limits for my students. I really like the option of when to reveal the picture. My suggestion would be to have an option of the sound to continue to play until it’s stopped so that it reminds the their time is over and it’s time to transition. For some of my kids when the sound stops they think they don’t have to stop.

Great for therapy sessions. I love this visual timer for my little ones that can’t comprehend time. It gives them a visual using the picture and they wait in anticipation for the sound when the timer ends. I am an occupational therapy assistant and work with a lot of kids with ASD and this works wonders for transitions and increasing participation in tasks.

Ideal visual timer. This timer is used for so much more than “time outs”. This timer helps my child when it’s time to finish up eating, limits screen time, and helps for taking turns. It’s fun to predict which characters will show up and what sounds we’ll hear. I highly recommend this timer to help with our littles.

Countdown Visual Timer. This app is a wonderful tool during my speech therapy sessions. I have recommended it to parents and caregivers as well. It can be used to help children who have a difficult time changing activities. I do wish;however, that there was an option to have a sound play when the picture is fully revealed. I love that the pictures can be customized! Looking forward to the update for the sound option when picture is fully revealed. Thank you!

This is a great app. This is a great app. I love how it’s visual so a kiddo who doesn’t understand time super well can still see how much time until it goes off. It’s also great that you can change the pictures that’s revealed to whatever you want. It’s simple and easy to use. There are some downsides to the free version (ads, can only add one picture), but I think that’s understandable since it’s offered for free and since there is a paid option in which you can eliminate those problems. Only two complaints (1) the ticking is really loud. I find myself turning my phone down to a one or two because it’s so loud I would like it if it was a little quieter. (2) you can only increase the time by 10 second intervals. It would be ideal to do it by seconds or at least 5 second intervals (but seconds would be even better. Overall I would recommend this app.

Please make the picture stay!. Good app, have used it for a while. However, I’ve seen multiple reviews asking to have the picture stay on the screen until the user clears it. From what I remember, this was how it used to work. Also, being able to adjust the size and position of the custom pictures would be a big help. It seems that there were updates made about a month ago- please make those changes and you’ll definitely get closer to all 5 stars!

So close to a 5. So very close! The one thing that I would like to be able to turn on and off is the visual amount of time remaining. If a child could check how much time they have remaining so that they can become more aware of time used. A small digital clock in the corner would be great! And is an interesting way for children to see a fraction, while being able to correlate that to time remaining. Without a doubt that’s more advanced math, but could be such a great visual tool!

Great. I am a Speech-Language Pathologist working in the schools. My students love the competition with the timer to see how many responses they can get in one minute. I also use it to time my sessions so I don't go overtime and the kids love that, too, reminding me to set the timer if I forget. I paid the $.99 to get rid of ads and that was totally worth it. The ads come on right after the timer goes off and interrupt the session, so it is great without them.

Perfect for my autistic son. This visual timer has helped us in so many ways I couldn’t even begin to tell you about them all. We very rarely have meltdowns from activity changes anymore. It even helped us potty train! If I had to make any changes I would suggest making the ticking sound optional as it can bother some kids and definitely gets a lot of looks in public. Otherwise this has literally changed our lives. Given the visual cues and enough time my son now transitions so easily from even his most preferred activities. All of his teachers, therapists and aids have this app as well now. Thank you for such an amazing simple solution.

The best little app!. I rarely write app reviews but I felt I needed to for this timer. Worth the $1 for the paid version with no ads. I work in a school and use it all the time with students to help them transition between activities, out of the room, etc. They love seeing what photo will come up next and watching the colors change on the timer. Highly recommend!

Easy for Little Ones to Understand!!. Mealtimes with my toddler were becoming an absolute nightmare - she would take so long to eat that we'd miss out on other things. The timer has helped so much! My daughter is still too young to understand minutes and seconds, but she does understand that time is passing with the colors and pictures. Besides our meals being pleasant again and of a normal length, my daughter thinks the timer is really fun and gets excited whenever she sees it!

Great for sensory activities. Our child's occupational therapist recommended using a visual timer for various activities. We used to use the regular iPhone timer, but this one is way more motivational and obviously easier to understand! All our kids love it though! We also use it for cleanup or finishing meals when they need motivation to do so (no dessert if don't finish before reasonable timer length). They always get excited about what the surprise image/sound is going to be. (4 year old boy and almost 3 year old girl).

Love it for our Man-child. I was using my regular phone to set timers for my son (3) to finish his meals, play etc. Because he has little sense of time and my screen-saver kept coming on it had limited effectiveness. This timer is simple and effective. I use custom pictures of him to encourage him to get stuff done. I have a picture of him playing which is displayed slowly and as time passes. He loves races so he now tries to beat the timer. Eat your meal in 30 mins then you get to play before bath time. The timer stays on the entire time--no black screen/screen-saver. I like it and would recommend it to you time conscious parents.

Game changer for difficult transitions!!. This app has been a game changer with my son who has developmental delays and has trouble with transitions. Any time it is time to switch an activity I set the timer and he loves it so much and transitions with almost zero issues. My other kids also love it. Definitely worth buying so you can pick your own photo.

Fantastic app. I have only had it for 24 h but so far, great. It allows my three year old know when time is almost up without me being a pain by reminding the time left. I was actually looking for something similar. I was even going to buy a color coded clock, but this works better, and we can have it in all devices. I have a suggestion for improvement: enable “profiles” and save activities, with pre selected times, noises and pictures For instance: 1. Bath, 20 min, picture of the ducky 2. Dinner, 30 min, picture of my child eating 3. Get dressed, 5 min, another picture Other than that, great!!

Fun timer obvious across the room. My daughter has been using this for my grandsons, but I found it great for managing bits of time for myself. The last 20 minutes before leaving for an appointment is always an issue because it is just enough time to get involved in something to where you forget the time. This visual timer is a great reminder.

Good and useful for teaching patience. I would rate this higher if it had the ability to notify you when the timer is done when the app is not on the screen. It is a great visual timer to teach little ones to wait, but if you want the child to do an activity while the timer runs the timer is so fun that it distracts from the activity and they want to play with it or watch it. I wish it would work in the background so I could use it both ways.

Awesome!. Oh, the battles this timer has stopped in their tracks! No more screaming to avoid brushing teeth. No more flopping around like a fish instead of getting dressed. No more rocket-speed launches from the car door to the front seat full of enticing buttons. The "ticky timer" keeps my young kids focused on the job and excited to see what picture it will be this time. The ability to exclude certain pictures would be nice. There's a lot of grumpiness about the ducky.

Awesome!. I work with children with autism and they love this app. Very useful for getting them to understand how much time is left for an activity or how much longer they have to complete a task. They love watching the picture spin and hearing the sound at the end! My only suggestion is make a list of customizable sounds or add an option to record your own voice to play at the end.

Totally changed meal time dynamics!. This app is simple and great! My girl loves it and finishes her meal in no time to beat the clock. My only suggestion would be to show the picture after the countdown finishes and clear it with a ‘new timer’ button or something. Seeing that picture is like my child’s reward, but the picture goes away too quickly.

OT use. I love this visual timer! It's simple and uses seconds to help during my therapy sessions. The sounds and pictures are pretty great. I have a few suggestions/recommendations to make for an upgrade. The first one is if there could be an option to have the sound continue making the noise once the time is up. Another is if we choose to have a custom picture, could we also choose to have a custom sound. Possibly something that we can record our self, such as a persons voice saying "times up" or "what's next". Besides the few adjustments that hopefully can be made I really do value this app. I've shared it with all my therapy friends...SLP's, PT's, RT's and Psych's.

Occupational therapist- love it, 1 suggestion!. I am a pediatric OT and loveeeee this timer- great to improve transitioning between activities. It also helps establish a routine in therapy, where my kids know what to expect. My ONLY wish is that I could purchase an upgrade where I could upload my own photo to the background, so if scissors were the next activity I could photograph the scissors and make that the back of the timer. That, I would pay money to have!

Wish time could go longer. I use this app for my child's quiet time, and it has been great! I only wish I could set the timer for more than 59 minutes - our quiet times can last from 1-2 hours on most days. Otherwise, this app is perfect for teaching the concept of time!

Good but needs a couple changes. I like this timer for the visual cue of time passing and the fun pictures and sounds. I don’t like that you can’t see the actual numbers on the timer when it’s running and the fact that it glitches if you go out of the app while your timer is running. It appears to keep time but the picture lags behind and so the timer rings but the picture isn’t all the way revealed.

Great but (too) simple. I love the simplicity of this timer. Really, all I was looking for was a timer that would turn from green to yellow to red to help our kids know when it's time to leave for school, and it does that reasonably well. What would make it better? The iPad shouldn't go to sleep while the timer is running-- kind of defeats the point of a visual timer for kids. Also, it would be nice if you could optionally set the time when it changes to yellow/red instead of it being a flat percentage every time. (E.g. My kids might understand red better if red always = 5 minutes instead of a percent of a variable amount of time.)

Very fun Timer Spp. This app is a wonderful idea. It really gives our 3 1/2-year-old daughter a sense of time, and she has fun seeing the picture and hearing the sounds when the timer is done. We have been using it for about two weeks now, and she has a lot of fun getting to help set the kid timer.

Pay for no ads = Ads. I paid to go ad-free and still have the floating critter ad over the pause button. So annoying. That is why I paid, to get rid of that. I didn’t mind the banner ads at the bottom or the video ads after the timer finished. Those were fine. The annoying ad is the blue monster with an enormous sign that says Try Me Free on it floating right over the pause button. Every time I go to press the pause button I click on the ad that I thought I paid to get rid of. Thanks for the bait and switch.

Great for sensory kids!. We started using it with my 3yo to get him to sit and eat his dinner and it has helped a ton! It went from full meltdowns every mealtime to 3minute increments of him actually trying things and then 30 seconds of physical activity and he’s doing so well! We still have a long ways to go, but it’s been a wonderful tool!

Great visual timer. It works really well with the children I work with.

Easy to use. Wish you could use longer times, up to 10 minutes. Would be really useful for longer tasks or outings.

Nice. Great for kids

Niamh Duffy. It’s a good timer but could use a different sound for the finishing of the timer. But love the pictures and use it a lot while working with children with an ASD

Great App for My Autistic Child. My son needs transitions and it’s a great visual aid for him to see the time he has left in an activity.

Great but needs to keep working when you leave the app to do other things. It would be good if the timer kept going even when you go to other apps ect if you don’t stay on the timer app you don’t hear it go off 🙁😣

Timer doesn’t Unpause. Whenever we pause the timer and the. Try to resume it, a play button doesn’t appear and re-hitting the pause button doesn’t restart the remaining time left. Makes it really annoying when we try to get our children to bed.

An excellent tool. Colourful and fun. Great app, thank you.

Simple! Love it!. So easy to use, we use this timer all the time for my son who has Aspergers to help him stay on task. Love it!

Simple and effective. I use this all the time with my 5 and 7 year olds. Makes transitions go smoothly!

Great app. Great app my son who is autistic really benefits from having a visual queue to guide him so when it comes time for simple things like having a drink I can set the timer and he will sit and focus on the task at hand

Great for kids!. I just read a review that I can relate to and it’s using it with special needs students. I am a teacher and I find this app helps students process and understand beginning and the end of something. I use it to calm students down, I use it to help them process how much time they may have with a task and I use it to understand the concept of time. It’s a great visual and they always love seeing the pictures 😊

Picture reveal helps. My son uses this whilst eating (otherwise mealtime would go for an hour or two). It’s been great because he now tries to eat before the timer goes off, he loves trying to guess which picture it is.

Great. Very helpful for my 2 year old and 4 year old who usually take a long time to eat dinner. Seeing a visual of time for meal times helps them eat more consistently.

Nice and Simple.. A good visual timer for young kids. Helps them see time fleeting.

Does it do a ding when times up?. Does it do a ding when times up? At the moment I can’t hear from a afar that time is up Otherwise it’s good app

Very handy!!!. Great. A few more pictures and sounds would be good. Keeps my kids entertained while they brush their teeth

Fantastic.. Great timer, I use it in my classroom and at home with my own kids. The kids watch the timer as the picture reveals. Gets them to stop and think.

Very useful and kid friendly app. I am using this app a lot and it is very good

Use it all the time. Great app! Love it.

Easy to use. Great visual for ASD kids. Thanks

Good for children. Good for children

Countdown. I find it great, I work with children with special needs and some kids are very visual and they love watching the timer finish, especially when there photo is in there.

Fantastic app. Wonderful app esp for working with students on the Autism spectrum

Great countdown for children with autism. I'm a special needs teacher and I use this app in the classroom for a few students who have autism. It is a great visual way to represent time and the students are more willing to finish a task when this clock is in front of them. It is a powerful tool in the classroom because they struggle to read and understand time on normal analogue or digital clocks. Thanks!

Great app for Kids to understand time. Love it!

Fantastic classroom timer. Students love having this on the interactive whiteboard.

Simple & effective. Does what it says. My kids needed a simple countdown for taking turns, and they love robots - ideal!

Good basic idea.... Good basic idea, although I know plenty of kids who would deliberately let the timer run down in order to see the current stars and sound effects display. I would suggest: 1. A 'success' button (or similar) that the child can press when they successfully beat the clock, which instantly shows the full picture along with celebration stars and happy sound effects. 2. If the timer runs out the picture becomes an unhappy 'smiley' face with no stars or other happy sound effects.

Easy to use. Kids love the picture at the end!. The picture at the end is almost as exciting as whatever the kids are taking turns with, which makes the transition to another child’s turn much easier.

Worst timer ever. I paid for this timer, paid for the packs and everything. Absolutely one of the worst timers I’ve ever bought. Waste of money. It doesn’t let you pause or stop the timer, won’t let you change any settings, so many bugs. Do not waste your money, this is not worth it

Easy to use. Used in my junior classroom. It was effective.

Countdown review. Would be better if end of timer required action/acknowledgment and did a vibration.

Awesome. Fabulous for my special needs kids who enjoy the visual countdown. It helps us. Get going in the morning.

Papa, Mateo and Sofia.. I like it because it has pictures (Mateo) I like it because I love princesses (Sofia) I like it because it helps the kids eat their dinner (Papa)

Great app for kids Physio exercises. We use this timer to make daily Physio exercises fun for my daughter who has Cystic Fibrosis. We had the free version forever which is great - though just upgraded to the paid version and the extra photos are so worth it! She loves seeing what image it might be each time.

Duckie. Thanks for letting me see you

It’s ok. App only runs when open. If timer goes off while closed you don’t know

No numbers shown. I wish the timer also showed how much time is left in numbers and not just the circle count down.

Great visual for kids. This is a great visual timer for young kids. My daughter loves to try and guess the image. I do wish it made a continuous sound upon completion though as we aren’t always just sitting and watching the timer. It may finish when we are cleaning her room and we have no idea when it finished. (Maybe a tweak for a future version? 🙏🏼)

Children’s Countdown is great!. Really great for children who struggle with patience. There are a lot of pictures and sounds that make this timer fun.

Awesome kids timer!. I love this App. My son struggles with transitions and this helps him understand when the transition will occur and also encourages me to explain what transition is going to occur so he's forewarned.

Tgbhgghh. Thhjji

I use this app every day!. I work with children with special needs and this app is key to helping us with transitions!

Great. Gets my kid going. Great visual both behind and the timer.

When you doing the time or you should make sure they can’t see the picture so it’s a surprise. Plz

An EXCELLENT timer, permits SETTING of SECONDS &. Was looking for a visual timer I could set SECONDS for the count down for playing sprint games with STUDENTS (even adult students) in a classroom setting. This turned out to be a GREAT choice! Not only can I do this but, thanks to the custom “clock” picture option, I can choose any of my own picture as the picture that is progressively revealed during the countdown. That picture can be changed at will and you can “preloaded” pictures in the app for a quick switch come play time. One improvement for a future development- and users such as myself convenience- would be the ability to SAVE different clocks/settings (different pictures AND different times ready for playtime) we could select later with one click. Great app!

Countdown for kids. Love that you can customize the timer!

Great timer. It help my kid stay on track. When his timer goes off he gets a reminder of his schedule.

Nice for my special needs daughter. I used this app to help my kiddo tell how long she has to wait for someone or something to happen.

Merveilleux. My son love it! It

Sad😭. Used love this app and use it daily but you recently took the ability away to pause and stop and shorten and lengthen the timer!! Every disappointed!! 😡

Love. I’m in love with this one game Love Natalie 😍😘❤️💕

Good app. Kids love it !!!! Wish there was a little more free characters

Great for kids. This is a simple to use timer that works well for kids.

Super handy app. We have young kids and this app has been really useful and helpful for everything from helping kids stay focused while completing a time sensitive task (like getting dressed to go to school), or making “cool off” time (time out) peaceful and clearly timed.

Thank you. Just a lil fun for the kiddos

Great app! Recommend. Only thing is it only works in portrait mode so it makes it hard to prop up the phone otherwise it’s great!

Awesome timer for kids. Awesome app! Perfect for what I needed. Only think is I wish the ticking was quieter or the “alarm” louder. Still works great

Motivational Timer. A great timer to inspire and motivate children during transitions

Great. ♥️

Great tool. As an EA I use this at work. It’s great!

I love the way the app has the ability of working.. Hi I hope you're doing great

Hi. Love it

Best kids timer ever!. Easy to use. A lot of fun. This is a perfect timer.

Très bon. Parfait pour enfant autiste

This app copies your clipboard contents into the app. This can leak private information.

Duck Timer. Works great for my son to know when his time is up on screen time 🙌

Adam Kim. J’adore ça

Love this app!. Best app! Easy, quick, cute!

Annoying. I use this timer everyday, many times with ASD students. It gives them a great visual. So I thought I’d buy the extra pictures for $1.39 now I keep getting pop up ads. Very annoying so now I cannot use in the classroom. Up until this it worked a treat.

WoW. This app works wonders for the children in my are in my case load. Thank you so very much.

A améliorer. Lorsque le cellulaire est en pause, le timer ne décompte plus, c’est dommage

Good enough. It’s a free app, so I cannot complain too much. The purpose of it is to have a visual timer, which it does. It, however, does not show you a clock counting down anywhere so you can see how long you have left. It’s more like a sand timer where you just see it and guesstimate - “you have around 3 minutes left”. Moreover, sometimes it ticks like a wind-up timer and then, for no apparent reason, the ticking sound stops, then cuts back in again unexpectedly. There is no sound to let you know that the timer has gone off, just the ticking stops and the background picture becomes complete. So, if you are working away while your student does their activity, you might think that the clicking has cut out randomly. Or your student might have paused or reset it. This means you have to visually check it regularly. The advance 10 seconds or rewind 10 seconds feature is nice.

Good app. Good app, but try not to make the sound so sudden. Try something more soothing. Above all, this is a great app!

Add issue. Their new add just stop the app from working, it’s useless now...

Helpful app for school use. Nice visual for helping kids understand the passage of time. Would be great if it didn’t make the ticking sound during the countdown though. I find it makes some kids feel anxious. I’d also like to have an option to be able to have the ‘time’s up’ sound continue until I turn it off.

Motivational. My school kiddos love this timer

Perfect. Simple and useful for kids on the go.

Omg. This app has helped me with work so much #thankyou

Useful. We use this every night when my son brushes his teeth. Pretty awesome!

Awesome. This is so much fun. No need for boring plain blah timers again

Easy! Fun!. The app is easy to use and kids love seeing what appears when it’s done

Good. Good app

Great reverse visual, especially for kids on the spectrum!. Great reverse visual, especially for kids on the spectrum!

Countdown. Amazing I’m very happy and works with my grandson since he was 3 and he’s 5 now. Thank you. 🙏

Adsterra is the most preferred ad network for those looking for an alternative to AdSense. Adsterra is the ideal choice for new sites with low daily traffic. In order to advertise on the site in Adsterra, like other ad networks, a certain traffic limit, domain age, etc. is required. There are no strict rules. Sign up!

Learn to wait. Learning to wait is a difficult but necessary skill for kids to learn. The visual timer makes it easy to start teaching this skill, and gives me objective data on their progress based on how long the timer is set.

Great for use with kids with ASD. I work with children with autism. I love that this visual timer gives you the option to do seconds. I also love the custom picture setting as you can use a picture of what they are working for as the countdown picture.

Perfect app for transitioning. My almost 3 year old hates transitions and no amount of preparing him helped. His OT told me about this and I downloaded to try. He loves waiting on the photo to load (we are using a Peppa pig photo) and easily transitions to what we need to do. It also works great for timing toothbrushing!

Exactly what I need.. I work with kids on the spectrum and have been using this app for five years. I never once thought about eating it, but I’m here to tell you if your child needs visual prompts this app is for you.

Ads go to full screen. The app is great, but the advertisements go to full screen when the timer ends every time. Really annoying, especially because I use this with my little ones. Otherwise I would give it five stars.

Mom I love my mom so much and my dad and my brother and myself. The first time you were able and I didn’t have to go back and look for the other ones you took I didn’t know what you had left for

Perfect except.... I love this timer. One time instead of the timer going off it switched to an ad that I had to click on or x to get rid of. This meant that my brownies burned. Ads shouldn't override the timer that was ridiculous.

Used daily at elementary school.... from visually giving little ones a reminder of how much locker time they have, to showing older ones how long “time out” will be. I’m sure I’ll find more uses next week! 3 things I wish: - A choice for the picture could be just simple nondistracting black. I had to use a custom pic I took with my phone lying on the table. - Silent mode. I haven’t found a way to make it silent without changing the volume on my phone before and after using the app. - Choice of no “fireworks” of stars, etc. when time is up. Just reveal the chosen picture.

Great tool. I use this timer for my own kids but really have found it useful in the special needs classroom. Not only to give a visual for time, but to help children engage and have eye contact with an item

The Good & The Bad. Preschooler really likes the variety of pictures and different alarm sounds. Definitely helps our child have a better understanding of time. The major frustration is that even after purchasing the "no ads" (& restarting my iPhone) the ads are still there. Developers need to get this fixed.

No pause button :(. We love this app for working with students, but we’re very disappointed that there is no pause button on the paid version when it is on the free version. Is that something you could add to the next update?

Useful Tool. My 4 yr old special needs granddaughter needs extra behavior support. We use this timer to reinforce the rules. She knows it’s going to make sounds when it’s time for her to get up. The ticking clock sound lets her know it is running... love this app! Thanks!

My chair reminder. Having cancer I can only set up in chair 1 1/2 hours a day. The noise can be irritating but when the noise stops I know I have to get down. So for my purpose it is an excellent tool for my reminder.

Please add more images!!. This has been a lifesaver for us and our 2- and 4-year-old boys. I just wish there were more images that appear. That is the whole fun for them and they are starting to get bored with the same options. I'd even be willing to pay for an upgrade for this option!!

Amazing.. I’m an SLP and I use a visual timer during therapy often but it just occurred to me to use one with my toddler. She loves it and now gets things done in a timely manner 😀 She loves guessing the graphic and hearing the sound go off at the end. I highly recommend this app!

Annoying ads. The ads are very annoying. Every time the timer goes off you need to start watching an ad and you can’t cancel it until you’ve watched at least 5 seconds. The result is you need to keep the timer in your hands and watch it constantly and can’t avoid the ads... not worth it

Very simple and easy to use. Loved the free version so much that I bought the full version for a mere $2. Worth every penny. Simple and easy to use. I’m a speech pathologist and often give kids “play breaks” for a minute or so. The kids enjoy guessing what the picture will be.

Game changer for my toddler!. I’m so grateful! It’s a great tool to use to communicate that time is up! It’s helping reduce conflict because it’s clearer that time is up and we need to move on to another task. I’ve used this during clean up time, at the park, bath time, and when getting ready.

Helpful for my son!. We find this app a lot of fun! Although my son often just wants to watch the time tick down rather than do what he’s supposed t be doing 😆. I do wish I could have it keep going and be in other apps but other than that definitely a fun one!

Best app I’ve ever spent money on. This app helps me at my work when I need to use a visual timer. The increments work perfectly and the ability to change settings depending on my needs is crucial! Thank you for making a great app!

More time for the picture review. 3 stars. 5 stars because my 3 1/2 year old son is finally doing a great job cleaning up his toys. we even purchased the $2.99 premium version because this app has been so helpful. 1 star because your child only get a few seconds to view the photo they’ve been waiting to see before it disappears.

Great Timer. Cute, fun timer that helps my daughter pick up toys quickly. She likes to be faster than the timer. The ticking and visual at the end are enjoyable for her. The only thing I would add would be more visuals/more variety of pictures that 'pop up' at the end of the countdown.

No Clock. This alarm is cute, and my daughter loves the duck that is revealed as the timer counts down. However, it doesn’t show the time. It’s a great visual for the timer, but I installed it to help my daughter tell time. She’s almost 11, with Down syndrome, so she loves seeing/hearing the duck, but I’m trying to teach how to understand time. I guess I’ll find another app for that.

Useful for my autistic child. The only thing I wish is… the alarm goes on for like 1 minute or so because sometimes he can’t hear it. But other than that my child does really well. Thank you so much!

Great Visual Timer. Works great and gives kids a better understanding of how much time is left. The only negative is there’s not really an alarm, it just plays an ad (free version). I would like to be able to set an alarm on it as well, since my kid doesn’t always watch it. But, still a great app.

We use this five times every day!. This is an integral part of our daily routine. It helps so much! Not sure if the developer reads this, but I would pay for this app if you could customize all of the pictures!

Really fun timer. I’m an adult with ADHD and I find this timer useful. Especially because there’s a surprise at the end, with a different sound + image each time. The novelty aspect of it makes it entertaining to me and motivates me to keep using it

Great for Kids with Behavior Challenges!. My five year old son has a number of behavior challenges. Previously, telling him an activity had to end (even with warnings) would result in an epic meltdown. Now he calmly ends his activity! Having a visual countdown has made a world of difference. This was recommended by his behavioral therapist.

No sound?. I love how visual it is, but you can’t tell when the time is up unless you are watching it. There seems to be no alarm sound at the end to let you know it’s over. It just goes to an ad, so my son can’t even see that the timer is up, which defeats the overall purpose of me redirecting him to show him that it’s done.

Meh. Great idea. Needs better execution. If you have auto-lock on your device, the timer disappears. No more visual!! It should bypass the auto-lock as an active app. The ending sound was so short we didn't even hear it. Provides no opportunity for child's learning through reinforcement. "Child lock" doesn't allow for a parent to reset/restart. So, in short, my kid turned it off by pressing the home button. Didn't work for me.

Timer for children. Works every time . They look forward to see what picture the time goes off too.

Visual Timer. Great app for my two special needs toddlers. I use it all the time. I only have two issues: 1. I wish it would do landscape orientation as well. 2. The ability to go beyond an hour would be nice as well.

Helpful for toddler transitions. My 2 year old’s nursery school teacher uses this in their classroom and recommended it for parents. It’s been a terrific tool for making transitions easier on us and our toddler. She loves to watch the countdown reveal the picture, and enjoys guessing what it is and imitating the sounds.

Great little visual timer. Great little visual timer. I use it with my grandkids and students to keep track of time. The only problem with this timer is that they sometimes get so interested in watching it they forgot to do their work.

Life saver. I work in Special Education and this has been a game changer! It’s difficult to explain waiting for 5 minutes or leaving in 30 minutes, but this visual timer - that you can add specific pictures to - helps them understand. I love it!!

Needs more sound options. I like this app and have used it with my ASD clients, however, the new animal end sounds are confusing to them. I liked the bell sound better. An option to choose the "time is up" sound would make this perfect.

Awesome. My son with autism responds well with visual timers. The ticking sounds calms him and the cute little surprise graphics at the end of the timer makes him smile. Really helping with time outs and when I give him a time when we leave the park.

Great visual. The only complaint I have is that it cannot run in the background or if your phone screen is off. The kids like to see the picture at the end but I would like to be able to turn screen off while it is ruining at times.

So kid-friendly!. Love everything about it (including the suspense of which image will be behind the countdown); the only issue I have is that if you exit the App to do something else on phone, you can’t hear the ticking.

Too small on ipad. We have been using this on our ipad when it was iPhone only and it worked great with the previous update. This version that adds ipad capability makes the timer way too small on ipad. I would give this five stars for iPhone. Other requested features: pause and resume, landscape mode for ipad

Very nice app. Wonderful, simple visual timer. We use it at school with children with a variety of disabilities. This app helps with young children and those who have a hard time understanding time concepts. At home, I use it for my son as a visual reminder of how long to brush his teeth.

Does just what you ask. A simple visual timer for kids to help them understand the concept of time/counting down. There are ads, obviously. Got to make sure your kids don’t see them cuz oftentimes they’re video games. That or difficult to close out of.

Kid”s Countdown. I have a free version, but it is very helpful to be able to show my 4-year-old granddaughter how much time she has left before switching activities, getting ready for bed, or leaving a park. My suggestion for improvement would be to show how exactly much time is left if she “beat the clock.”

Great visual timer for toddlers. I use this app as needed and the children are very engaged during time out as they watch carefully and listen to the timer. After the surprise visual at the end they know to come to me and discuss the behavior and future expectations. I highly recommend this as a retired educator and nanny.

Love it. Use quite frequently for my so who has ASD. His Teachers and Therapist use it as well with great success. It allows him to know how much time he has to wait and when the time of waiting is done. Really wish I had more control over the pics otherwise pretty cool tool.

Such a cute little app!. Cute app, nice features such as being able to quickly add or reduce time while timer is counting down. Easy to interpret visual for even very young kids. Good assortment of pictures for free. Kids really like it!

Gets my 3 year old to get moving!. I'm impressed how this app gets my preschooler moving. Whether it's cleaning up, eating dinner, or what he likes seeing the timer move around and slowly reveal the picture. He keeps asking, "is the duck about to quack?!?!" Thank you to my big sister for introducing this app to us!

Countdown celebration!. I work in special ed and this app should be mandatory for all special Ed aides! The kids love waiting to see what character pops up after the countdown. Makes getting through the day easier. I’m so glad I found this app. Thank you!!

I use it every day to keep my kids on task. Great app. I use it every day to keep my kids on track. The pitch change as the time goes on is perfect to spur the kids to get moving. They like waiting for the picture at the end too. Highly recommend.

Perfect for toddlers. My two yo doesn’t like drinking water - he does now when we make it a count down game! He loves guessing and anticipating the random pics. Great app. The purchase of no ads and extra pics is also a good deal.
