About
Can you complete each level by setting cuckoo’s clock correctly 12 times?
Choose the level of play you wish to practise then simply drag the minute hand around the clock to match the time spoken. Press the yellow button in the middle of the screen to see if you’re correct, if you are cuckoo comes out to say hello! Then move onto the next challenge and set another clock for cuckoo!
It’s Learning Time is a fun and engaging game to support your child in reading and setting the time on analogue and digital clocks.
Levels
● Level 1 – Set the spoken o’clock time
● Level 2 – Set the spoken o’clock and half past time
● Level 3 – Set the spoken time to the hour, half hour and quarter hour
● Level 4 – Set the spoken time to 5 minute increments
● Level 5 – Set the spoken time to the minute
Features:

● Bright colourful graphics to engage children

Feedback from It's Learning Time being used in a school:
'The children enjoyed using the app as part of their numeracy lesson, with the different levels of play enabling all abilities to participate. The children agreed that they preferred using the app to the class teaching clocks as they could progress at their own pace and had an instant response to the time they set- without having to wait for the class teacher! A big thumbs up from the children'

Perfect for my kids
SamAndSprout
I like this app because it is simple and good for different levels of learning. I like that when you set the time incorrectly, it tells you what time you did set the clock for.
Pretty bad
Rainbow kids
Waste of money! It has the minute and hour hand set on the top left hand corner of the clock. I don't how they tell time in England but the centre of the hour and minute hand should be in center. Weird.
Lie

This app does not have the option to do the half past and quarter till like in the pictures It's just a basic clock The screen pictures are a lie
From the developer!

I'm one of the team that developed this app, and had to respond to the previous comment! The app does work - we're not liars! To use the app in half past and quarter till mode you need to select at least level 2! Level one is just on the hour, level two adds half past to the questions, level three then adds quarter after and to, then level four can have any time. If you use the app in practice mode, it tells you the time that's you've set. If you have any support queries please use the support option available within the App store.
above my expectations!

I homeschool and wanted something to supplement teaching my child the clock. Well, I ended up using this AS the teaching tool! He caught on so quickly and begged to keep going. It tells you the time wherever you put the hands (in practice and level), so he was always learning it even if he had the wrong answer to the question. It teaches gradually - starts you with hours, then moves up as you complete a level. GREAT way to teach a child. Get all the way to level 5 and it's minute by minute - great practice and learning! And I really like the fact that when you move the minute hand the hour hand goes along with it so my son saw how it would normally go around and that the hour hand isn't always on the number. Great teaching tool! I was very impressed with it. It has encouraging sounds and bright colors. Thank you!!
