Presentation Timer for Pc

The bell respects neither the ring/vibrate switch nor iOS 6's "do not disturb", ringing merrily away regardless. Only turning the volume all the way down worked. Being able easily to silence the bell with the ring/vibrate switch would benefit personal use as a speaker. Otherwise handy. It took some experimenting for me to understand the controls.

This is a very useful timer, works exactly as I wanted for my the app. I walk around when I speak, into and with the audience, so I set up the timer and placed my iPod horizontally, on the speaker's table, facing out to the audience. The screen was large and clear enough to be visible across the medium-sized room, and the numbers were legible enough for me to see them through a quick scan even as I was speaking. Wonderfully designed!! I didn't want the sounds to interrupt my speech, so I simply turned the volume all the way down on the iPod itself. It would be good to have some kind of option on the app for this, so that I don't have to remember to turn the volume back up afterward. I love the multiple colors so that I can see at a glance during my speech what "zone" I am in during my talk. I would like the colors to be customizable, though -- so that I can set up, for example, a yellow zone as a warning color and a red zone as the wrap-up color. For the way I do my talks, the number of timers is too much, but I can see how I can simply set up fewer timers (by having the others afterward be the same time as the last one). It would be simpler for the app to give me an option of how many timers/zones I want to set up (with, perhaps, a max of 3). Overall, really really useful app! This is the first review I've written for an app, that's how useful I found this app to be! Keep up the terrific work!

I like this app and use it a lot for timing student presentations. I see other reviews asking for a countdown feature. It already exists! Swipe your finger horizontally across the time; it will switch between countup and countdown - even while running. I found this by accident. I've only tried it on iPad, but I suspect it works on iPhone/iPod too. The time that it counts down from can be set by the "Use as the app end time" button in the bell settings.

The timer is as advertised. The display is large on the iPad (especially in landscape mode), and setting it is a breeze. There are a couple features I'd like to see, though: 1. An interval smaller than one minute, so that it can be used as a game timer for shorter intervals. 2. I wish it could be set to count down, instead of just up. These are suggested improvements, though, and not criticisms of what it is.
