Kids Timer+

About this app

This is a time timer that teaches children the meaning of time. It has a fast blue clock of max 12 minutes and a slow red clock of max 1 hour. You can set the time by touching the plate. Your child will see time passing by, and will hear a notification when time is up. It is a great way to visualise time left for elementary school students as well as high school students. It helps children to estimate time and it prevents endless discussions. Ideal to tell your child for example he needs to go to bed in 15 minutes, or for doing homework.

This is the same app as the free Kids Timer, but without advertisement.

Ratings and reviews

Overall good but one big glitch that should be fixed. I use this timer daily with students who need to see how much time before they have a break. Sometimes the visual part of the timer stops moving and chimes when the time is up but still looks like there is time left. It happens the other way too, the visual part runs and shows the time up but doesn't chime until minutes later. It doesn't happen all the time but it's very frustrating to the students when it does. Update?

I give up! Used to love it! Favourite of kids. Same problem as listed earlier by another party with no response from the developer. For the last couple of months the timer has proven unreliable. The colour stays stuck and doesn't move to reflect the passage of time. I have tried reinstalling it to no avail. I will give it another month. If problem not acknowledged or addressed I will uninstall.

Seems great if you want a 12 minute or 1 hour timer. There does not appear to be any option to set change the clock to anything else.
