Autism Timer

i would give it zero stars if possible. the one star comes from the numbers blanking out while scrolling to the number of minutes or seconds you want to count down from. it can take up to 30 seconds for the numbers to reappear. if the wrong number was entered (because the screen went blank) it takes another 30 sec or so to see if your attempt to correct it has worked. it took 4 minutes to get the timer set for 5 minutes. a total waste of time.

My non-verbal son is now 14 and I would like to use this for timeouts. The time increments need to use seconds, 3 minute intervals when dealing with the neurodevelopmentally disabled is too long. I would find it more practical if the color blocks started red and finished green since green means go pretty much everywhere. It isn't necessary for us parents to pay $3 for a timer our iPhone already has, but the visual reference is the only nice feature this could enhance the purpose of if done properly. A little research next time before cashing in on our misery.
