Great timer

Love the custom pictures that are covered by the timer. The kids keep looking up at the timer and being aware of how much time is left because they love to see what custom random picture is hiding behind the timer. As the timer slowly counts down, small portions of the picture are revealed until the end when it goes off and the entire picture is displayed.

Great to hear you enjoy using the app. Thank you for your feedback!

Difficult to use, few choices, poor design

Very few options without purchase: 2 animal pictures, 2 tunes, and 2 background choices. There’s no other customization such as ticking instead of music, a different sound than annoying beeping when the timer ends or different celebration action than the lame confetti shapes. It’s also a pain to use. You can’t just input any amount of time, you have to choose an amount of time within the options given or count up or down by 5 second increments with the forward or back buttons. Purchase gives you more background choices, more tune choices, and more photo reveal choices, including using your own photos- no other features that I can see. The free version is nearly useless, and the paid version is not much better. This is not a visual timer I would ever buy, and I’m deleting the free version. Not worth the space on my device.

Love for preschool and early intervention

I can add any picture motivator and it often helps kids to visualize the passing time. If it’s used to transition often by the time the picture comes out they have adjusted and are prepared for transition. Have also uses it as an external focus for kiddos who struggle when upset to calm and self regulate … 2 minutes music and focal point to calm.
