Time Smart is designed to help your toddler keep track of time. You use it to help them move from one activity to another. It features two clocks. One shows the current time and the other shows the time your activity will start or end. For example, let’s say that your child is playing but you need to get them in the bath. You’d tell them they have five more minutes to play and then tap on the bottom clock in Time Smart and set it for five minutes. Your child can watch the clocks to see when play time is over and it’s time to hit the bath. I like the idea behind this app but my biggest problem is there’s no sound (a ding or buzzer maybe?) that signals when time is up. I looked at the iTunes description and the update that Apple is reviewing right now will have this feature. The clocks are cute and useful but I think this new feature is absolutely necessary. I look forward to the Time Smart update.

I just purchased this app. The description said it has an alarm but it doesn’t. What good is a count-down clock for kids if it doesn’t alert them that time is up?? I planned on using it with my autistic daughter to help her wait for things that are hard to wait for like going to the park. It won’t help with that at all unless this problem is fixed.

Beth – thanks for your comment! That was my complaint when I reviewed the app in 2009. It’s disappointing to see the issue still hasn’t been addressed. I’m sorry, Heather
