Passing Time vs StarWords - every word counts Usage & Stats
Calendar apps are really good at telling you when things start, but when you're in the middle of a lesson, what really matters is when things end: Did I take too long going over homework? Do I have time for one more exercise? Should I go a little faster? A little slower? Is it already time for the exit slip?
"Passing Time" gives you this vital piece of information—how much time you have left in the current class period—whenever you need it, as soon as you need it!
Features:
- Create different types of school days (A Day / B Day, days of the week, etc.) and assign them to calendar dates. You can even color-code each day type!
- Create all your class periods (including start and end times) and add them to the appropriate school days.
- Sync your schedule with your Apple Watch, and add an automatic countdown complication to compatible watch faces.
- Create notifications to alert you at the end of class or when a particular amount of time is left.
- Check the app's countdown timer, which automatically updates throughout the day, to see how much time is left in the current class.
- Glance at the app's progress bar to see how much time has elapsed and help pace your lesson.
- A list of upcoming classes and their start/end times helps you plan the rest of your day—and the following school day! Need to double-check the schedule for a particular date? That's also just a few taps away.
- Add convenient widgets to your Home Screen or Lock Screen (depending on device compatibility) to check time remaining or see your upcoming classes.
- Take advantage of built-in support for Siri and Shortcuts to look up information from your schedule without opening the app.
- Keep all your devices in sync with iCloud.
- Send your schedule to a colleague with the Export button, or add a colleague's schedule to your device with the Import button. You can also use these buttons to create or restore a backup of your schedule.

StarWords app is an early language online diary. It helps parents of young children to keep track of their children’s language development by registering their first and new words, gestures, lexical innovations, early phrases, etc. By using the app regularly you get insight into your child’s progress: on top of the ongoing access to the data you enter, the app gives you access to various summary reports (e.g. the number of words your child uses, the evolution of the form or meaning of the word).
As an active user, you will gain access to bonus materials: podcasts featuring researchers discussing various aspects of children’s language and cognitive development, articles and news on these topics, as well as coloring pages created from your child’s first words.
The app was designed at the University of Warsaw by a team of researchers specialising in early language development and bilingualism (http://multilada.pl/) as a part of a study on early language trajectories in bilingual and monolingual children (http://starwords.eu/). The app is for parents of children up to 24 months upon study entry (i.e. registering in the app). When you register in the app, you become part of the StarWords study, but no worries, you may withdraw at any time, without giving a reason.
Though our project focuses on Polish-Norwegian and Polish-English bilingual children, we encourage families speaking other second languages and multilingual families to download our StarWords app. We have adapted the app to multiple languages and we hope you will find it interesting!
List of features:
Add a word: Write in your child’s new gestures, words, made-up words and phrases
Reports: See reports on how many words your child uses, export the reports into a pdf file
Word’s evolution: See how your child’s words change with time
Extra: Get access to podcasts with researchers, articles on child development and many more!
The StarWords study is confidential and the collected data will only be used for scientific purposes. We maintain full confidentiality of the collected data, and the data are stored on servers located in the European Union. Results will always be presented collectively (e.g. in scientific articles or presentations). We do not distribute the individual data to any third parties. Your contact details (e.g. email address) will allow us to communicate with you during the project, will be confidential and will not be used without your knowledge and consent.
