- Automatic Redial

- Cellular Data Usage monitoring

-- In-Call Alarm
If your service provider offers free calls with a time limit (5 or 10 minutes) this alarm is ideal to prevent additional charges.

Configure this alarm to remind you to hang up when the time is up, using one of 20 different sounds, you will never miss this alert!
Additionally, you can enable an extra Panic Alert, which plays after 10 seconds and only if youre still on a call.
Both alarms have independent sounds, so you can choose a louder one for your Panic Alarm.

Careful detail has gone into making these alarms as effective as possible, so you should never have missing or unwanted alarms.

-- Fast Redial
Get back to your call with a single tap, allowing you to focus on the conversation.
Intelligently designed, Call Timer only asks to redial when you need it.

-- Usage Tracking
Take the guesswork out of your monthly bill with real time information on your usage!

Set up your rollover date and included minutes and data and youre ready to go.
See how much of your monthly minutes allowance you have consumed at a glance, complete with a Call Log with detailed duration for each call.
Detailed data usage information.
Also includes a basic SMS usage tracking (only messages sent through Call Timer will be added.)
You can delete individual records from your Call Log, allowing you to fix calls that were made using Watchdog Mode and that should not count towards your total.

Exclusion list:
Contacts on this list will not count towards your monthly usage.
If your service provider gives you free calling to certain people, you can set up the duration of the free calls and any time over this will show as "Extra Minutes" used.

-- Watchdog Mode (iOS 8 only)
Using the Watchdog mode will give you the most accurate usage information.
Get alerts for when you reach your monthly usage quota.
Note: Calls logged with Watchdog mode will appear as "External Call".


* Important
Accuracy of tracked minutes/data depends on individual usage and may not reflect actual spending.
Please make sure that application sounds and banners are enabled in the Notification Center.

Pros and cons of Call Timer app for iPhone and iPad

Call Timer app good for

Overall a really nice tool if you have limited minutes a month. I love it. It provides nearly all necessary features. But a “Recent” tab would be great. Thus, so can call recent numbers, which are not stored in you contacts. I would ask you to implement this in a future release.
I love it. Im trying to cut back how much time I spend on the phone. Its perfect.

Some bad moments

Call minute usage only for calls made with the app. Data usage did not work at all.
1. This app misses calls entirely. It may or may not record any given call against your monthly usage. 2. When it does record call calls, it sometimes put it them in strange categories that dont deduct from your total monthly minutes, even though you told the app you have no free minutes. 3. No support. When you submit the complaint or question you dont get an answer for weeks on end (actually Im still waiting to hear back after two weeks, so I dont know if they will reply at all). If anyone knows of an application that actually tracks your monthly cellular use, Id love to know. Its desperately needed because Apples Usage tracking counts Wi-Fi FaceTime minutes as cellular use, which leaves me with no idea of how many cellular minutes Im actually using at any given point during the month.
Sent a request for help to the developer but there was no reply. Did not track usage of calls but may have tracked data.
hangs after upgraded the latest version today on my iphone 6+
dont spend your money on it! It just counts the minutes if you use their keypad to make a call! It does not have the option for your free evening, weekend or family calls.NOT SATISFIE AT ALL
Minutes counter not working! Data counter stops moving after 1 week! I need my money back! I hate this app!
