SpeakerClock App Reviews

Annoying feature

When you try to set time, keeps asking if u want to buy more presets?! If I buy the app, shouldnt it have multiple presets, like iPhone alarms?

Overall pretty good

Many have mentioned that it would be nice if it counted into negative values once your time is up and I agree. Also it would be nice if the timer ran up like a stopwatch as an optional setting. Potential improvements aside it is a good ap and easily worth a dollar.

great app

but like other are saying make it flash red background when time run outs.

Really outstanding!

At first, I was intimidated by the simplicity of this app. But it is absolutely wonderful! Ive recently taken a Dale Carnegie course and have found that this is the perfect app for writing and honing multiple speeches of any length with a fully adjustable warning "light". An iPhone makes it cool!

I have purchased much better ones

This app seems buggy on my iPad 2. I purchased Pclock about a year ago and was much more impressed and was not charged to add new presets - yes, while the app costs 99 cents, you have to pay for additional presets. It had a number of good reviews, so I thought I was missing something. When I click on the "I" implying info about the app, it just shuts down. Going to their website gave me the instructions I was looking for under "I." I had hoped this app would handle short 90 second presentations better, but was generally unimpressed. Setting it is pretty easy once you figure it out, but there is no sound and no overtime timer. Again, Pclock gives me all of this for the same price.

Not great

Too simplistic. The instructions icon doesnt even work, just crashes the app. From what I can tell you have to drag to set the timer and it uses 15 second intervals. Start and pause have no visual indication just double clicking on the time. Seems like it takes too much effort to set the time and intervals.

Great app for sure but would like to see some updates

A great app for sure… I agree that a flashing background would be great when time runs out. Plus a count up would be great too during the overtime...

NOT GOOD

Application not good. First negative thing is that it constantly asked you if you want to upgrade to more presets and there is no way of shutting the annoying message off unless you pay your $.99 additional. To me that is a very strong arm tactic that I hate. There is also no time shown negatively so when the clock hits zero you dont know how much beyond zero you have gone. It also does not have any sound warnings. When you hit help but it crashes Total waste of money twice since I had to purchase more presets to get ride of annoying strong arm messages PCLOCK is a far better application it has sound and numerals change color at various presets. It also displays negative time as well. Easier to set times with wheel

Great app!

Really good app for keeping presentations on time. A settings menu would be helpful. But overall very nice app.

Annoying shortcomings in settings

I originally got this app because I confused with another one. Anyway, I bowed to the pressure of paying the $.99 for the 5 settings, partly because I thought that would be a great thing to have, and partly because I like to pay for useful software. However, I have found one area with the settings that annoys the heck out of me and has made me not use this app any more. Its the fact that ll my 5 presets resets to the TED time of 18 minutes between uses. In other words, if I spend the time setting up specific times, they are gone next time if I quit the app. Very annoying, and counter intuitive.

Rip off

I paid extra, PAID EXTRA for settings and they arent persisted across multiple launches of the app. !?!?!!? I feel robbed. Fix this, its easy for you to do.

Needs an update

This app could have been so much more. It is not user friendly & has limited functions even after the upgrade that I paid for. Forget the update. The is an a different ap that does way more for $99.

The Best Speaker Timer App available

As a regular TED speaker and frequent presenter, Ive tried most of the timer apps (and hardware) on the market. This one is clean, simple, inexpensive and has been my timer of choice for several years. I really like it!

POS

Dont waste your money. Couldnt get it to do anything but count down from 18 minutes. Allows only one preset and you cant change it. No instructions. Not worth the 99 cents.

Needs work - do not buy until fixed

The touch to start and stop is terrible. I bought timer and upgrade for presets, it is not useable with touch problem. I tap the screen 1 to 30 times for it to respond. New ipad, this is the only app I have ever used that has touch problem. Rated 1star so I can post.
