About this app

Is it a battle to get your child to do something quickly?

This visual countdown timer App was designed for my 2 year old son to help him get his reward chart star for getting dressed quickly.
Getting him dressed used to take forever with many stalling strategies being deployed. Now he runs upstairs asking for the "Countdown timer".

Watch as the timer runs from green to amber to red, helping the child understand that time is running out.

A fun picture is slowly revealed as the timer runs down and when the time is up the child is rewarded with an exciting sound and the picture spins.

Background image changes to match the time of day, so that your child is given subtle hints as to what time of day the task they are being asked relates to.

Choose from the many fun images with different sounds for each, or choose your own image for the timer to reveal from your photo library to really surprise your child.

Endless possible uses:
* Getting dressed
* Getting out the door (shoes and coats on)
* Tidying
* Brushing teeth
* Sharing toys

Turns daily struggles into fun time!

We were also pleased to be told that this visual countdown timer is also great for children and adults with ADHD and Autism.

Ratings and reviews

It does the job. The ads are not good for kids though... You need to supervise them while the timer is running. Kinda defeats the purpose of the timer IMO. I'd like to use it to help build independence for my son, but if I'm right there making sure he doesn't click any of the ads, it kind of defeats the purpose. There is no way to buy the app or remove the ads until you open the app... What's wrong with releasing a separate, full version like 90% of other apps?

This is horrible, too many ads for a kids timer app... Edited review*** After testing and using many different kids timer apps, this is arguably one of the better ones. I work with kids with autism and timers help a lot. So finding a great timer app that gets their attention and makes it fun is surprisingly hard. The fee to remove adds is not bad, but the free version has loud and obnoxious ads that get in the way when I'm instructing a child.

This is my favorite timer for the kids to use. Only one thing I would like to change. Please make a way for me to delete added pictures and any cartoons that I prefer not to have. Thank you for your consideration. Edited The recent update has given many more pictures to choose from. Thank you, however I would like to have the choice to delete individual pictures I prefer not to have. I will delete this app for now. It has been our fav for 6 years. Sad 😔

+ Fixed a crash on low memory devices at the end of the timer
