Review summary

The Toastmasters Timer app is praised for its ease of use, inclusion of standard and customizable speech timers, and reliable timing functions that assist public speakers. However, users commonly report that the app does not prevent screen timeout, causing timing to halt if the phone sleeps or rotates the screen. Additional issues include lack of support for multiple simultaneous timers, limited interface feedback about timer status, and problems editing custom timers. Despite these drawbacks, users find it a useful and lightweight tool for precise speech timing.

Pros

Very easy to use and lightweight.
Includes default timers for standard Toastmasters speeches and allows customization for new timers.
Works reliably for timing speeches, providing precise timing functionality.
Keeps a history of timings to aid in reporting after speeches.
The app is simple, effective, and helpful for public speaking contexts.

Cons

Does not prevent the screen from timing out or going to sleep during timing, which disrupts use.
Timer stops when the screen orientation changes or when switching to other apps, causing loss of timing.
Cannot set up or run multiple timers simultaneously.
Limited user interface feedback; unclear if timer is running once started.
Difficulties editing custom times due to unresponsive or hard-to-use controls.
