Description
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.
Fully COPPA compliant (The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act)

Though I have only used this app once with my daughter, I have found it to help her. She is very visual and noticed the colors change when time was running out. So far, I have found it helpful!

Would be nice to have the second listed, lots of ads. Kids like the variety of pictures with the timer!
★★★★★Adam F· Jul 21, 2025
Much better with being able to choose the picture. My daughter is, so we'll behave when she has her teeth brushed now as she enjoys seeing which picture I've chosen. It would be good to have random image from a folder.

Very helpful as a visual timer to assist children with transitions. Highly recommend. Tammie occupational therapy assistant

Prior to the update I gave the app 5 stars. I used to be able to have my students search for a picture, and I would set a timer. It was fast and quickly adaptable to each desired picture and time amount needed. Now the update wants me to make a new timer each time and save it. It's awkward. I am very unhappy to only have the preset timer option. I am very unhappy after this unwanted update.

Free, but geez! Ticking is way too loud, horn is obnoxious and the only choice. Paid version might be better, but it was recommended because it was free.
★☆☆☆☆Kristopher Kammerdiener· Jan 30, 2026
Ads pop-up, when you hit X to close it redirects to website outside play store. Huge security risks. Plays obnoxious loud ads that ruin any benefit of the timer.

I don't like this latest version APP. As an expert worker with the ASD group, more simple is more useful. For example, If you are a worker work with the deregulated students at sometime. A timer is a necessary method to help out backing to regularly behavior, but they have different personalities and requirements, and it's dependent on their behaviors to set up timer are very different. Do you have the time to set up minutes, theme or photos?
