Key takeaways for Speaker-Timer
Where is it heading?

The lack of updates suggests the app is in maintenance mode, which will likely lead to a gradual decline in user retention as competitors add modern OS features like Live Activities.
- The 12-month update gap indicates the app is in maintenance mode, which will accelerate churn as competitors add modern OS features.
The SWOT
- Specialized presets for Table Topics and evaluations provide immediate utility for Toastmasters members
