User Reviews

Speech Timer is a simple, reliable Android app favored by Toastmasters users for its easy interface, preset and custom speech timings, and effectiveness during meetings. However, multiple users desire more advanced features like pause functionality, better color contrast, speaker tracking, and improvements targeting Toastmasters speech contest requirements. Additionally, it has no iOS version, limiting accessibility for iPhone and iPad users.

Pros

Simple and easy to use with a clean, uncluttered interface.
Specifically tailored for Toastmasters meetings with built-in timing presets.
Custom timing capability allowing users to set their own speech durations.
Reliable and helpful for both rehearsing speeches and timekeeper roles during meetings.
Free app with useful features and good recommendations from users.

Cons

Lack of advanced features such as speech logs, detailed setup, or speaker and speech title tracking.
No pause button available, which users want for rehearsal mode to avoid restarting the timer.
Interface color issues such as low contrast on buttons making them hard to read for some users.
Inadequate functionality for Toastmasters speech contests, especially timing silent periods and work periods.
No iPhone/iPad version which limits users switching to Apple devices.

I love this however unfortunately not available for iPhones I had to change from Samsung to an iPhone and I wish that this was an iPhone or iPad please make it happen Ty

The app seems useful but the majority of the other buttons being gray makes them really hard to read on my Android phone. They're just too dark. Can that be changed to have better contrast between the buttons and the text on them?
