Little Timer Hatch Countdown 4+

Cute and easy to use

I looked everywhere for a timer app without invasive in app purchases and that was easy to use, in the sense that it has a nice SIMPLE interface (a timer should be a simple as possible in my opinion). Whenever I was looking for Pomodoro style timers, since I like the clock noise and the native clock app doesn’t have that…most of the apps on the market do 20 other things and are about a more comprehensive organization scheme..I just wanted the timer and I’m very happy with this one. Yes there are wallpapers you can buy, but nothing annoying in the app like adds or offers to upgrade all the time. It’s for children so I think that’s why it’s simple and cute. I don’t care I’m an adult and I LOVE the cute aesthetic and annoying little farm animal noises at the end….it makes me happy and it’s actually a lot prettier than a lot of the interfaces.

Simple, cute and effective!

I’m a Special Education teacher and it can be difficult for my students to understand the concept of time / timers. Traditional timers don’t work very well for them. Transitions are very important. I recently discovered this app, paid the one time payment of $2.99 and got access to everything. You can customize the pictures that the egg hatches, the sounds and the background. It’s not over complicated and is very effective! My students loved waiting to see what animal would hatch! The only recommendation I have that would be helpful is if there was a feature to make the buttons not push able while the timer is on (I.e. a “kid safe” feature), since sometimes my students try to touch or tap the screen on my phone and can mess up the timer. I’m also wondering if there is a Web/PC version.

Sanity Saving

I cannot stress enough how big of a game changer this app was and is!

Background: my wife and I are potty training our 2.5yo twins #struggleisreal

I came across little timer to try and use a visual timer with a surprise outcome (hatching an animal). After using the free version and seeing their eyes light up when they saw a cat or dog I had to drop the 2.99 to unlock everything else. Now ever time they advocate to go to the bathroom they say “egg timer” without fail.

I’ve also added the timer to our other routines like brushing teeth, cleaning up, reading, and play time. This will be a go to timer for our kids and I couldn’t be more pleased with it.

To the developer(s): first off a big thank you!! Secondly I would love for you to add more animals or maybe even special occasion animals during holidays/seasons to collect. I would be willing to drop another few+ dollars to unlock more animals or other unique features.

Surprisingly one of the best apps I’ve bought in 2020!

Unlocked tunes:
Happy Robot (during timer) is a kid perfect countdown

Animal Party (end of timer) is a 🔥track that makes both me and the kids bob our heads!

Well played y’all!!
