Stoplight Clock provides a distraction-free countdown with vivid colors to let you know when you're nearly out of time.
Great for:
* Speakers timing speeches or presentations.
* Classroom teachers.
* Programmers using the Pomodoro Technique.
* Teachers or parents assisting children with autism in their time management.
The iPhone version works well on a desk or podium. The iPad version can be seen easily from across a room.
Got this app for events I run with multiple speakers, was under the impression I would be able to set it up ahead of time to run for entire engagement however I have only been able to set up one timer not a bunch of different ones running together. For example 5 speakers with talk times of 5 min 15 min and 25 min means I am having to make a new timer every time a new speaker is up thus slowing down the event when I should just have to pause and start timer having it all setup before event. Fix that and it would be 5 stars until then best I am giving is 2...
Limited
I bought this for my kids nap time so they can see when it’s ok to come out. The way this is made can ONLY go from green to red, not red to green. $2 down the drain.
Almost perfect
Since this is not a free app, I feel it needs a few more options to push it to a five star rating.
Pros: colors are nice and bright, filling the whole screen. Interface is simple, uncluttered. Timer options are completely customizable.
Improvements Needed: 1. Multiple choice of alarm sounds. Current end chime is harsh and cheap sounding. 2. Option to keep final alarm sound playing until manually turned off.
Teacher
This is a great CANTOR type clock… great for use in the classroom with children who need to be reminded when there is an upcoming transition. Easy to reset and adjust. Highly recommend!
Elegant, intuitive, perfectly suited
Easy to set up. Easy to switch between setup mode and clock timer mode. Easy to start, stop, and reset timer. No danger of accidentally switching to setup mode when starting, stopping, or resetting timer. Superb display with visual cues and optional audio cues for "wrap it up," "almost out of time," and "time's up." Ideal for speakers, presenters, students, and anyone else who needs to operate within a specific time frame. A delight to use.
Perfect for Toastmasters table topic speech
Just purchased and intend to try out at next weeks competition. So far it works perfect and is exactly what I was looking for.
Exactly what I needed!
Exactly what I needed! Thank you!
If I had any feedback, it would be to make the displayed timer numbers bigger and fatter (maybe choose another font), so they can be more easily seen on an iPhone, while still allowing enough background to show through to see the timer colors at a distance. Thanks.
Good timer
Basically a good timer. Two features would make it great: display of time elapsed, and double-tap anywhere on screen to start and stop the timer. A bit cumbersome as it is.

I also use this for Toastmasters and agree that the app would be greatly improved if a touch anywhere on the screen could activate the clock function rather than the tiny slider.
Works as advertised!
Countdown works fine; colors switch on the second. Chip's comment about the 'start' slider being small is true-- maybe a larger slider would be better.
I'd like to see a way to pick my own alarm sound, but this is not a show-stopper!
