Description

A fun timer for the Classroom

The engaging graphics and sound effects mean tasks get completed in a fun and efficient way.
The teacher sets the target amount of time for the class to perform a particular task. The countdown timer is then started. The timer can be viewed from the Apple device itself or displayed on a larger format device such as an interactive board or TV screen using screen mirroring features of the Apple Devices. 

If the class completes the task in the defined time limit the teacher can tap the "tick" button and the "Well Done" screen is displayed and a fanfare sound effect is played. However, if the class run out of time the Alarm rings on the clock, the clock bounces around the screen and then explodes  in a comic fashion.

This app really encourages students to complete any assigned task, the students can see graphically how much time they have left to complete the task.

The teacher is able to pause, restart and reset the timer at any time. The app has an audible "ticking" sound when the timer is running, the teacher can enable and disable this by simply tapping the speaker button on the apps main screen. The Fanfare and Explosion sound effects can be controlled via the audio controls on the Apple device. 

This is a simple but fun and engaging app to assist the teacher in their classroom management activities. 

Users are able to send feedback, make enhancement requests or report any issues from inside the app.

Locked app

I love the classroom timer so I upgraded to pro. Now it’s not working. The App Store says it’s not available. I should have received notification of this but the app won’t even open.

Ads make this ineffective for classroom

Ads Pop Up right away. Too annoying to use when they are constantly harping on wasting sacred educational time!!

New Ads are Extremely Intrusive

This used to be great. Now there are full screen ads (often with video!) that start when you try to start a timer. Imagine, a full class watching the projector screen waiting for a timer, when an ad for a video game pops up. Total nightmare. I can’t decide if I’m going to pay to upgrade to the “pro” version or just pay to use a different app, as their new ad system was so disruptive and frustrating. Seriously, if you want to create an ad paywall there are much better ways to do so (provide restricted/limited use, header or bottom ad bars, even less intrusive ads).

Doesn't work on my iPhone 6!

The app shuts down on my iPhone 6 as soon as I attempt to set the time! I can use the app on my iPad Air with no issues but I do not bring my iPad to work! I really would like to use the app on my phone!!!

Classroom Timer Light

The app crashes when I attempt to enter a start time. Too bad because the concept of a simple timer to use in a classroom is a good idea. Unfortunately for me, this app is not the one for me.

Annoying Ads

The timer works fine and the students like the bomb going off which is why I gave it 2 stars. However, the constant ads popping up while I am using it, is really annoying. Plus, it drains my battery if I use it periodically throughout my day. Definitely could use some improvements on the next update.
