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.

The timer itself is awesome and has been great for the kiddos I do therapy with, however, the ads are often louder than the timer and send my kids into disregulation. It also doesn't help that you have to wait for the ad to be over to reset the timer. I wish there was an ad free version. Otherwise, would be 5 stars.

I love this app! It is an Excellent distractor activity when teaching a child to wait. Ends in entertaining animation w/sound. You can gradually increase child's stamina for attending or waiting in 10 second increments, or longer. I have one Lil guy who knows after the timer goes off, he reaches for the item he was waiting for. Highly recommend it. I've used it for abt 3 years, I haven't experienced an bugs. Just need help logging into my acct. Ty!!

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?

Hi, I’m sorry you feel the ads are inappropriate, they are provided by Google and are Coppa compliant and are suppose to be child friendly. The ads can be removed in the Settings screen found by tapping the gear cog on the timer. You can also buy the educational version straight from the AppStore that comes with no ads and fully unlocked.
