But when you have 15 students who need help with their thesis statements and that one kid who keeps throwing paper across the room, time is of the essence! Wouldn’t it be great if you could just glance at your wrist or phone screen and immediately know how much time you have left before the bell rings without having to remember that first period ends at 9:26 or do any mental math? Yes, that’s what the clock above your door is for. It's a very visually appealing and functional app.Passing Time An Automatic Countdown App for TeachersĬalendar apps are really good at telling you when things start: I have my English class at 8:10, an IEP meeting at 2:30, a dentist appointment at 4.īut if you’re anything like me, when I’m in the middle of a lesson, what I really care about is when things end: Did I take too long going over homework? Do I have time for one more exercise? Should I go a little faster? A little slower? Is it already time for the exit slip? What I do really like about this app is being able to change the background, easily create & edit countdowns, and be able to organize your countdowns by life/work/birthdays/etc. However, it would be nice to have the countdown feature and calendar feature all in one. Perhaps a calendar feature would also be nice (with week/month/day view available), but then of course you're running into the territory of just being a calendar app. I did discover that if you tap the countdown number it'll display in (months/days), but again, this is lacking the (hour/second) allure of countdowns. (Year/month/day/hour/second) or at least (day/hour/second) would be a good way to also be able to display the countdown in my opinion. This may be available in the premium version (paid) of the app, but I feel like a major allure of countdowns is that you can see down to the second of when something will happen. I really would give it 10 stars if I could because it is one of the better apps I have found for a Countdown that is easy to use and read because there are so many out there and I had tried them but for one reason or another either you had to go to MIT to figure it out or it just did not look right or easy to read when the countdown would pop up, but again this one is very easy to use and read. ![]() Really happy I found it and I’m sure you will enjoy it too. ![]() It is not a necessity in life to have this app, but again there is just something exciting to watch the countdown of those special occasions pop up. ![]() It is also a free service, I have never seen ahead any charges and again, I only use it for the very important people in my life as far as birthdays go or special occasions like graduations and vacations, I do not put everybody (friends/extended family) birthdays in it because that’s what I have a calendar for. I started using this last year and it’s very easy to navigate, no glitches and they give you so many options of what your theme (page) colors of pictures could be from their library or you can use your own by uploading one of your pictures if you wish, but there’s something exciting about seeing the countdown pop up as your special event approaches. ![]() Best countdown app, easy all around (10 star rating )
