Timing Voice Overs with Handy (FREE) Apps on an iPad or iPhone

I've been on the road for a few days and while shooting we've been roughing in some potential VO's to show the client.

I didn't realize it right away but my iPad doesn't have a built-in timer to time VO's to 60 & 30 seconds.

Here are two FREE timers I found that I dig:

1. Timer Z

Timer Z has an optional alarm when time is up and has a stress-inducing optional visual aid which frankly I love watching. It also has a great history log of times which you can email if you need to.

2. LabTimer

LabTimer can run 4 timers simultaneously which is more helpful than you'd think. Plus seeing the duration of past attempts is handy.
