I love this app. I've been using it for over 5 years. It has Toastmasters speech timings already set up and custom timing capability. Truly Awesome.

Best timer for all Toastmasters speeches at club or contests. I use this app at two clubs weekly.

Great app, one suggestion Has everything one would wish for, except one thing: Typically, the timer sits behind the timing device and can't see the screen. So he/she has to turn the phone around and push the stop button. This takes up to a few seconds. Better would be if the app could hook into the volume buttons to allow to stop the timer when any is pushed. This would also offer the option to use a Bluetooth headset as remote.

Barely more useful than Green, Yellow, and Red cards. There are at least 2 other apps that have this capability and all are as easy or easier to use. BUT MORE IMPORTANT... This timer is USELESS for Toastmaster speech contests!!! For ALL speech contests, there is no way to indicate silent periods with reverse sequence of RED and GREEN indicators. For the Evaluation Contest, there is no capability to time the "WORK PERIOD" so the Toastmaster knows when to wrap up contestant interviews and introduce the first contestant. Now comes the kicker. When I mentioned these shortcomings to Michael Dobbins, his reply to my email was, "I don't care." That's not my favorite Toastmaster reply. A better option is to get the Toastmaster Timer from Vivek Bhusal. His response was that he'd look into improving his timer.
