I use this every week on the school. My assistants who "help" me time also use it on their tablets. Looking forward to an update for the new school times. Simple, clean, easy to use when you are multitasking. Only suggestion would be an option to make it float, so you can look up other things at the same time without flipping between screens.
Really enjoy this app, very easy to use. One suggestion: if possible, allow to edit "comment #" so we can input initials or names for the Bible highlights... and the obvious, we need an update for the new 2015 school times. Really awesome app though, very usefull!
The "report @" feature is broken for galaxy note 4 it appears huge on the screen so unusable. (Perhaps an issue with HD+ screen resolution?). I will beta test if you don't have the device ;)
Was working great on tablet until updated app today. Now can't see all the buttons. :( Please fix, really like using it for the school! Will have to go back to the old way until I can use it again on my tablet.
Awesome app! I use it on my iPhone and android tablet. One thing though, the android version doesn't rotate the timer when the screen is rotated like the ios version does. Could that possibly be added in? Thanks for a great app!!
This didn't work on my Galaxy Nexus (Verizon) until I rooted and put Jelly Bean on my phone. Now works great. I especially like how it times individual comments for the Bible Highlights. Excellent interface!
When going to send the report, the option box pops up off screen and zoomed in, so I can only select email, not Gmail. Please look into a fix. samsung galaxy s4
I've been using this app for quite some time, and it's very useful. Thanks! There is one thing needs to be update, please update the time for Bible Highlights and Bible Reading.
It makes timing every part very easy and I love the bell feature. However with the new changes in the school I am unable to use it like I was before. I hope it gets updated soon.
Hasn't been updated since 08/2011 -Over 3 1/2 YEARS!! I'm sure the original developer probably just can't update it right now. I wish SOMEONE would develop a new version to incorporate the new time allotments, including the counsel timing. When I just plain need an app like this, I'd pay $2 for someone to stay on top of updates and glitches. Also, on my LG L70, it erases everything if I switch between apps. When I come back everything is gone! 2 Stars just because it's better than nothing.
Would give it 5 but needs timing updated as still on tue old timings and also needs a save feature so can save the timing, as i had to find the email address so as to be able to semd it but had to come out of the app and then go back to find all timing had been reset. So if a save feature can be added then would be briiliant, otherwise its very good
Needs to be updated to the new 2015 school year program.
Thank you so much for this great tool. Any chance of an update for the 2015 theocratic ministry school?
I have used this app for a while now and it's very useful. However after the last update the icons on the report screen (share to email, messaging etc) are too large and are off the screen. I can't select my default email program in order to email the report to our school Overseer. If this is fixed will give it 5 stars
The app is good. Am grateful for this app because of it's user friendly features. However, the current timing for the Bible highlight is 8mins whiles the talk number one has been reduced to 3mins. It will also be greatly appreciated if a bell is added for talks number 1, number 2 and 3. Thanks a lot bro.
I love this app. Mostly, it works great, but when sending the report, the buttons to choose method of sending (email, txt, etc.) are off the screen. Tried this first with my Samsung S4 and then with my Samsung Note 10.1 2014. Did the same on both screens. Please fix. This is the app that is preferred in my congregation, and would like to comply.
I like this timer app it doesn't sleep when its turned on and it alarms you when the time is getting over but one thing I want to add to this app can you please add 30 mins timer for public talk please add it in your update thank uou so much and Jah bless
App functions without issues, but peeved that the Bible Highlights have still not been updated to reflect the new timings that have been in place for some time. Also, added functionallity to the share report command (ie text, Whatsapp etc) would make the app more user friendly.
Love this app. It was perfect and the best Ministry School timer out there. But now it needs an update for 2015 to match the new instructions for the school. 5 stars for the update. I'm ready!
To tell the audience what the average comment time is, has a powerful effect. Since the School overseer may have someone to the timing, (suggestion) how would it be to time the counsel. Now it is 1 to 2 minutes. Starting in January, it's only a minute.
It's a helpful app. But could you update the time, for the bible highlights and the bible reading.
I like that it stays on especially when I'm giving a public talk instead of going to sleep like most apps
Now has 2015 time updates (good) - BUT: if the app looses focus then when you return to it all timers have been reset to zero. For this reason alone I have uninstalled it. The developer should respond publicly to comments here.
Has been working fine up until 2015 where the exported date into the emails is wrong (phone date is definitely correct ) If you could check this out it would be appreciated!! Also timings need adjustment; Highlights to 2mins+6mins. Thanks however, keep up the good work!
I'm privileged to be responsible for timing the talks in the school, and this app is perfect for the task!! I'm really grateful that someone has gone to the effort to provide an effective and well thought out app just for the job. Well done, and thanks!! (Will there be an update to accommodate the changes in timing for the 2015 school?)
I'm really thankful to Jehovah, and to the person who designed this app. It helps me to time myself while rehearsing and giving talks.
Also waiting for 2015 update then I'll give 5 stars. I put my phone on airplane mode then turn my volume high to have bell ready. Thanks for this little helper.
Been using for a while and like. I see that the timing for the reading is not 3 minutes so it needs to be updated it seems.
Whether you're conducting a school or working on the timing for a part you've been assigned, this is an ideal app. It's comprehensive, yet simple and intuitive! [NOTE TO DEV: Please update timing in accordance with 2015 TMS instructions.]
Is it possible to add a feature for timing the 2 minute counsel after parts 1 thru 3? Thanks!
Using an HTC One M8-Been using it for quite awhile and enjoy how easy it is to use. Have a young brother doing my timing and he was able to start right off using it without any difficulty. Really needs 2015 update for new timing on highlights and number 1 bible reading. Thanks.
I have really come to depend on this app and am very grateful to the ones who have made it so easy to use. I also love how I'm able to immediately share the results via email. I have showed this app to many and I get a lot of amazed looks when I show how the bell even pops up when we may go over time. Since the amount of time has changed on the parts I have been a little lost on this app. Please let us know if the time is being updated. SUCH AN AMAZING app but I may need to figure something else out...
I found a bug , if i try to open a text file with another app, the timers reset. Please fix this as soon as possible. Other than that really good app
Can u try to add the 2 minute highlights and the 6min comments plus the 3 min reading. If possible the 2 min teacher comments in between the reading-#2 and the #2-#3 and finally at the end of #3.
It needs to be update to the latest changes in the tms. Would really appreciate if you would update, thanks
I just today got the huge privilege of timing the comments and talks beside the overseer of the TMS. The previous timer showed me this app, and so I got it. He's moving away, and I'm taking his spot :) I haven't used it yet, but from what my friend has shown me, I'm sure it will be of much help.
I like most the highlight section. I can monitor how long each comment take. Tnx
I use it every week and send it to the school overseer through the email option so he can review all the results. Thank you for this app!!!
Will you be changing according to the 2015 Schedule...shorter BH & Bible reading ? Also the date in the subject line of the report to email is one month behind.

Thanks so much for your hard work. Please add the following features: counsel timer between talks. This should be about 1 min. The ability to move to a home screen without losing current information. In the report to show shortest and longest answer times as well as average. These are all things Ive been asked to provide by the body. Thanks in advance for everything so far.
