Laura (@p0nja), Juancho's mom, tweeted "I have an idea for an app to helps childs with GDD and autism handle time" (or something like that) and then another tweet by our team (@codigodelsur) "Ok, we like the idea, count on us" (or something like that), so in 5 minutes we had a project.
This first version of FunTime is the result of the first passionate 3 weeks of work, as dreamers we are, we hope it really helps thousand of kids all over the world to manage time in a better way, but just by helping one will be good enough for us to let us go to bed happy.

Best timer

One of the best timer! My child does his work all by himself with the help of Timer. Lot more features could be added. This app drains the battery since screen has to be active. This is the best timer app!
Good for kids who have difficulty with waiting or completing tasks

I like the pictures/animation in this app. The snail travels along the bottom of the screen and you can watch his progress. You can set the timer anywhere from 1-60 minutes. I would give it more stars if it had times under a minute, that would be even more beneficial.
Fantastic!

Love it, love it, love it! I work with young ( K-5) special kids, most severely autistic. This is THE only timer I have found that is motivating. Thank You!
Great, w/2 limitations

I work with children with Autism and this timer is great for them. They like the scene and easily understand at least one of the two visuals. I only have two minor complaints. One, there is no option to have the app keep the screen on. I work with one child that gets upset every time my iPad goes into sleep mode and he/she can no longer see the timer. Two, the noises of the birds can be distracting and I wish I could turn those off without turning the the overall volume off.
A favorite!

This is one of my favorite apps, used frequently with students and my own two kids for making transitions easier, thanks!
Maybe TOO cute
Yup-yup-yup-uh-huh
This is a wonderful app, and the fact that it's free, that it has both a circular and linear visual timer, and that the timer ends with applause (keeping things positive) are super. However, for little people who need to focus on a task, it's maybe a little too entertaining, even with the bird sounds off. If there were a simpler version of this app with no leaves falling, flowers blooming, or birds moving around, it would be a perfect match for distractible little learners.
Love this timer

Very cute My 3 kids all love it No ads Most importantly, it's one of the few kids timers with accurate scale. The "pie" actually starts where it should on a timer face, rather than always showing a 100% pie, and then counting from there.
Cute

I tried this out with my autistic students, and it's a very nice timer, but lacking two features I'm looking for - a pause button, and maintaining the most recent time setting.
