Childrens Countdown Timer kids for Android
As a clinician with a foster care agency I use this in therapeutic activities with children. Today an ad popped up talking about appropriate images that look inappropriate. Than it showed and image representing a vagina. Neeedless to say I will be uninstalling and getting a different so.
Dev was quick to answer emails and quick to get this app working as it should be. Definitely an outstanding human being, as well as a nerdy app developer. Good working with you. Keep up the hard work.
My kids loved this, we used it at bedtime for brushing teeth, also great for tidying up and I used it to countdown to snacktime as they were driving me bonkers!! Would like to be able to upload a picture from my images, that would make it perfect and give it a perfect score! :-)
Needs to have a lock on the settings button & time set. Also, wish I could have a way to add custom pics to the list for access w/in the app instead of having to go through a separate gallery all of the time.
This worked great the first 3 times, then it stopped making sound. Checked sound settings on my phone and in the app and they're set correctly.
After downloading this app, i started getting pop up ads I my phone.
Its THE BEST I LOOKED AGES FOR A TIMER AND I CAME ACROSS THIS AND I THOUHT IT WAS BABYISH BUT ITS GREAT AND I USE OT FOR EXCERSIZING DONT CHANGE ANYTHING ITS PERFECT
This is a useful tool but its odd that you can have a custom image appear but not a custom sound to accompany it. Otherwise very useful tool.
I love this timer, just wish that there was a pause feature and more picture options. Overall, very helpful and good timer.
Already shows full image from start.
Adding a sound at the interval between green yellow red would be really helpful
Love it so much download it now
Cute but sounds are too quiet and ads are annoying
love it!! so great for kids! for time out, bed time or for waiting for a treat of getting ready to go out!
Awesome application for my tablet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This game is very addicted game.
Great game for my little kids
Nice and useful app for kids.
Free version has ads (violent video game about war) that a child might start streaming on his/her own-costly to those on limited data plan and defeats the purpose of the timer-getting the child to stay on a task without distraction. Since the timer is to encourage independence I want to be able to leave my child doing a task in another room but felt like I had to pay the small fee to get rid of the ads so he won't be watching a violent or inappropriate ad afterwards. It's great but plan to pony up the fee.
This app has the main feature I'm looking for. Keeps my Kids interested and focused on a timed task when they're able to visualise the passing of time. However every time after the alarm had sounded, automatic ads regarding meeting HOT, SEXY, EXOTIC chicks/girls pops up!!!!! This is extremely inappropriate, especially for little ones who are now able to read!!! I don't mind pop up ads, but please filter your ads so that it's age appropriate. It'd be great if alarm can continue until manually being stopped
Parents, time out is supposed to be a learning experience... Not a way to get your kid to stop crying. The images make no sense to me. They're distracting. The child isn't being mindful of their mistake nor are they willing to talk about it when there's such an amazingly bright image being slowly revealed. This turns time out into a pointless punishment... Not a valuable and communicative form of discipline.
Surprised on how hard it was to find a simple, clean, and basic timer that change colors based on a percentage instead of hard numbers. meaning if you type two minutes it turns yellow halfway through turns red quarter the way through ect. But then my phone got upgraded to lollipop and the timer broke. I emailed the developer and within 24 hours he had it fixed. I was so impressed I bought it. His app is perfect for Children that have transitioning issues.
Needs the ability to set a standard time that you use frequently. Also needs a widget that instantly starts the timer at that desired time.
The first time I used this to see what it did it worked but now when I actually have to use it, it didn't slowly show the picture.
The only con besides the obvious ads I would love to see is the ability to pause the timer.
My little ones in my day care love this app. We have cooking challenges to see if we can get food mixed up in time, see if we can get her toys picked up before it goes off, brush our teeth. I'd like to see some more pictures added to it even if I had to pay for them
There's been several updates since the last time I used this app and visual piece of this timer still runs faster than the actual timer. Most of the time I use my wife's iphone since they have that one working correctly.
This worked great the first 3 times, then it stopped making sound. Checked sound settings on my phone and in the app and they're set correctly.
Works really well, kids love the end of timer surprise. Ads still pop up at an inopportune time though so otherwise five stars
So glad this came to Android. It was my favorite in my iPhone. Simple and visually pleasing.
It makes too much noise when you are reading .
Timer for kids
Visual and auditory
Great game for my little kids
This game is very addicted game.
very simple
There is no ticking sound on my one plus.
Good
Was looking for a visual timer for my son for a time out hes 11 with severe autism non verbal. The ticking sounds kept him focused and calm the revealing picture kept him focused the truck honk at the end scared him but we tested the fish (he loves sea creatures) and the bubbles were calming but happy. I plan on using this regularly it really did the trick!

I set the timer for 20 min and the picture is clear and for 5 min it just stayed that way ticking along without going off. When I put it to 1 min it worked just fine.
