Don't Lose Track Of Time With Elapsed
Elapsed - Timer App (Free) by Appsules LLC is a handy tool that allows iDevice users to track the time since they began a task. This app is a convenient way for you to monitor important times like parking meters, baking times, etc.
The controls are very simple. To track times, users create custom timers for different events and the app counts down the time. Each timer is customized with a name, time, and alert sound. There is also an option to save reusable timers to the presets for easy access.
The homepage displays all of the active timers with a running display of the time left in each countdown. Once time runs out on an event, a notification box appears with the name of the countdown and the selected sound is played, alerting users that it is done. The app then counts up the time since the finish in a red font. Timers can be paused or reset from the home screen at any time.
The app keeps track of times even when it is not open (including through multitasking) so it is reliable with all iDevices. There are couple drawbacks though. If your iDevice is on silent the app does not play a sound, it only shows the notification. So users must be careful to have the volume on (preferably loud) when using Elapsed. Also, the majority of the alert sounds are locked and are only available through a $1.99 upgrade.
Overall, Elapsed is a useful app for monitoring times. It is simple and helpful to people of all ages. With a price that can’t be beat, this is an app that you should try.
