Speech Timer

The app seems useful but the majority of the other buttons being gray makes them really hard to read on my Android phone. They're just too dark. Can that be changed to have better contrast between the buttons and the text on them?

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.

This app is too simple. just a simple timer with presets. no logs, no advance setup, nothing useful beyond keeping time.

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

This is a thorough and easy to use timing app. The best I have seen so far. Great job.

Love this app! Recommend it all the time!

love this app for timing role in Toastmasters

Easy to use

Love this app! Helpful for rehearsing, even better for when you are timer. This spells out each type of thing that might be timed and their color limits. Allows you to pay attention in meetings, because it's a "set it and forget it". Only feature request would be have a pause button (maybe rehearsal mode). Sometimes just loosing my place when practicing and I need to pause and not start over..because time is always ticking. - Moto X. KitKat.

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.

Almost perfect. Custom time settings are appreciated. It would be nice if more of the settings were custom as my club rarely if ever needs the longer time settings. One feature request: I'm aware that I can activate sound when the colors change, but I want an optional chime only when the grace period expires. One minor tweak: instead of the white card color running during the speech, make it default to black. This would be less distracting and would save battery life since black pixels draw no power. I'm aware I can customize the color black myself, but then I can't see the clock. Also, a circular color lamp as used in Timer4TM app would be more visually appealing than simply recoloring the entire background, and would also draw less power. Then you could show the clock (white or yellow numbers against dark background at edge of lamp) Finally, instead of a menu button, simplify it and put the "preferences" and "about" buttons right on the screen.

Would like the ability to list speakers and speech title's and then save their times so they can be read out

A visitor from another club at one of my clubs showed me this. I downloaded it that day. Then my other club had an opening for Timer at its next meeting. I didn't usually volunteer for this role, but I couldn't wait to use this app! And it did help me fulfill the requirements of the Timer role. I can't wait to be Timer again. Regina Litman DTM

Much easier to use than the official TI app. My only issue is that if I receive a call during a speech, it pauses the timer.

My go to app whenever I don't have timing gear at a meeting. I recommend this app often.

Just need the ability to resize the time display and whether or not to display the first letter of the color.

I love how I can pull it up and have time cards right at my fingertips.

Good interface,. Useful. Saving and mailing key to app

Great app: simple, effective, free. Thanks!

Best for Toastmasters

I intend to use this in the pulpit to help me not to preach too long. Love the customizable feature. It's going to help a lot. Unfortunately I can't get it to save my last custom timer setting. It would be even greater if I could select an option for a flashing yellow/orange and faster flashing red indicator. Maybe a 2 quick vibration indicating the yellow/orange and 4 quick vibrations indicating red as another option. Great job on this app.

Aside from the benefits for me as a Toastmaster, I will use this app for public speeches were I don't have the benefit of a timing light and I don't want to keep looking at my watch. The Custom Speech feature lets me set up, practice and then present in my given time frame.

Love this app, have been using it for a long time with great success. One thing - can the yellow light be optionally changed to orange? I find it too close to green when looking from a distance. Cheers.

This timer works great, but can't be interrupted by other app. If other application is starting or being used, then this app stops. I wonder if this can be fixed. Thank...

As a member of Toastmsters, this is excellent. I don't need timing lights and placards and I don't need to constantly look at a stopwatch to know when to turn on the lights. This is a great app!

Pretty good app although it's be great to have the report at the end of each meeting

I recommend it all the time to other Toastmasters.

If it could store a list of times and names it would be perfect

Easy to use

Kudos for the volume button controls! But of course now I have another problem: I have a stand that puts my phone in landscape mode. But in this app's fixed landscape mode, the volume buttons are then at the bottom and can't be reached! Also all text is upside down. Suggest to either implement auto-rotate, or another fixed landscape mode, for example "reversed landscape".
