Comments on Debatekeeper – debate timer for Android
★★★★★Selorm Dzata· Feb 14, 2026
It has always been very difficult to keep track of my time when debating but with this app, I can simultaneously keep track of my prep and speech time and even my POI time. It even supports most debating styles
★★★★☆Praise Udeh· Apr 12, 2023
It's such a great app. Easy to use, has many features and can accommodate many debating formats.
★★★★☆Mariano Laguzzi· Feb 7, 2021
It does what it needs to without any hiccups. The one feature I think would make this app perfect would be having the ability to set a custom format, so that if you're using a format that isn't supported, or maybe you're using reduced timing for an unofficial debate you would still be able to have a good experience with the app. A more pleasant looking UI would also be a nice touch, but it's certainly not something important, unlike what I mentioned above.
★★★★☆Terrence Guo· Oct 7, 2025
Pretty good, but no option to customize speaker time signals. For example, there's no option for hs bp, which has 30 seconds of protected time at the start & end of each speech. I'll be using the regular timer app haha. If you want automatic time signals, just set several timers. *edit: ive been using the prep timer to time speeches & give time signals, and it works great! In settings (3 dots) there's an option called "prep timer bells" that you can use to set bells.
★☆☆☆☆Peter Williams· Dec 14, 2018
The biggest problem is the lack of inclusion of all debate forms. I know it has a custom form, but for all you from the US NSDA this does not have the forms that are used: no PF, Policy, LD etc. The UI is overall too complicated and a bit dated. Overall this may be a fine app, but if you are from the NSDA then it is not useful.
