The application sports a simple interface with a strong focus on the essentials. Use the rotary dial to set the duration of the talk, press start, and the countdown begins. No fuss.

As the end approaches the digits seamlessly grows to increase your awareness that time is running out. And just when you need to wrap it up the colors are inverted, so that the black background turns white and subtly draws your attention to Talk Timer.

Pros and cons of Talk Timer - Countdown Clock for Speeches, Lectures and Presentations app for iPhone and iPad

Talk Timer - Countdown Clock for Speeches, Lectures and Presentations app good for

This app is delightfully simple. It does exactly what it needs to and nothing more. The app is not distracting at all (I think a seconds display would be distracting) and just tells you how much time you have left. Perfect!
This is a straightforward and highly useful app. I use this app twice a week when I teach undergraduates in a large lecture hall.
I use this app every time Im asked to chair a session at conferences. Simple and very easy to use. Installed on my iPad, I can sit in the front row and the speaker can always see how much time he/she has remaining.
I do like the simplicity but I would like a little control on the backside. Specifically, to be able to assign the time the graphic from black to white background. Not displaying seconds is probably a good idea but for those who just cant handle not knowing, you could have as an option to put seconds in small print at the bottom of the screen

Some bad moments

I would have expected the possibility to set countdown time by the second, not the minute...
