Ratings and Reviews
I really like the app, would love to request some features.
Hi Pieter, I really like your app, but I race dinghy’s and we use a 3 minute start sequence. It would be great if I could adjust the start timer length.

Cory,
You can adjust the time by rotating the crown. So when the timer is stopped, you can set it to whatever minute you want. I often set it to 6 minutes because that is when AP is lowered
Easy to Use and See with your Hands Full
App is great! It is very easy to use. Helpful info on the display screen when glancing down. I have created a watch face I can select on race days that has an Apple timer that counts down to our fleets 5 minute horn. I added this app to that watch face as well for fast access. It does open from watch face but all that is shown on the face is - - If you can add a an app face so the icon shows that would be fantastic. Works as is with the dashes but an icon on the watch face would be way better. Overall it’s a great app and free. Thank you for your time and effort developing it for us.

Hi!
Thanks for the review. I dont have experience with complications but I will try to add it
Won’t connect to Apple Watch Ultra 2.
Used this app for a couple years on my old Apple Watch and worked fine. Upgraded to Apple Watch Ultra 2 and it didn’t sync to the new watch with the rest of my apps, also not on the uninstalled app list. Support page was not helpful, how can I sync the app on the new watch?
