## Description

Mouse Timer is a cute, visual timer designed to help kids grasp the length of time. This education tool, inspired by teachers and parents in LITALICO classrooms, uses a hungry mouse gnawing on apples to represent elapsed time. It can be used as a classroom timer or a daily timer at home, and it is free and ad-free for safe, distraction-free learning.

It features simple time selection by tapping the display, pause/resume, and reliable alarms that notify you even when the app isn’t open. An optional in-app purchase unlocks a white mouse character for added fun. Perfect for classrooms and families seeking an engaging, kid-friendly timer.

## Review summary

Users praise the app as a cute, engaging visual timer that helps kids understand time, improve focus, and complete tasks, especially in SPED/ABA contexts. The main recurring requests are for customizable durations beyond the preset options, and occasional bugs like not stopping at 0 (goes negative). Some users would also like end-of-timer sounds and more visual variety (different colors or fruits). Overall, it’s valued as an educational, easy-to-use tool, though its usefulness is limited by the lack of customization and minor timing glitches.
