Do you need a way to limit your kids time on your iPad or iPhone? Tick Tock Time to Stop is a child activity timer - set the timer and then let your kids play. When the time runs out they need to bring the iPad or iPhone back to you in order to enter the password.
Set the time by turning the dial - just like a regular kitchen timer!
Put in your own secret password so that your child cant change the time limit and has to come back to you to turn off the alerts. The alerts repeat every minute until you reset the timer.
NOTE: its not possible to create an iPad or iPhone app that stops your child from using your Apple device - so this timer just reminds your child that their time is over using pop up alerts.
iOS 5 - in the latest Apple software, make sure Tick Tock Time to Stop is listed in Notification Center and for best effect make sure the alert type is set to "Alerts". Also, you can enable "restrictions" on your iDevice and disable your childs ability to remove this app.
