Does the job.
Apple's stock stopwatch is sooooo lacking. This fill the obvious holes and then some. First, it has .01 of a second, critical in sport timing like swimming. Second it provides a simple way to record and save that data, also critical when timing your daughter's splits in the the 200 yard back so she can see how she did. Over all a pretty good app that does what it says it does. Improvement could be made to the interface a bit, let's lose the cheesy pencil buster logo please. And it would be great to add a shake to start/stop/lap time like in shake watch. Good app, highly recommended.

Simple but useful stopwatch
Simple and easy to use, with all the functions you need of a split time / memory stopwatch. Records lap times and cumulative times, and when you press 'stop' it also displays the final lap and cumulative times (which many stopwatches fail to do). Data can be saved for later recall or emailed. This simple App overcomes all of the many shortcomings of the stopwatch supplied with the standard first generation iPod Touch, which is pretty much unusable for any serious sporting application.

Good Replacement for Native Stopwatch
I was astounded to learn (in the middle of my workout!) that the native stop-watch on the iPod Touch doesn't show you the total time if you've entered any laps. Enter "Stop Watch." Not only does it show you the total time, but a list of all lap times to compare on the fly, plus the total time when you recorded a lap time. The app gives you the ability to save and email your times which is GREAT if you like to record your times in a spreadsheet like me. Few improvements that I'd like to see: 1) VISUAL FEEDBACK THAT LAP HAS BEEN PRESSED. When you're using this app it's VERY difficult to tell if you've pressed the lap button or not. I would love to see the whole screen flash or something like that to indicate that the app registered the lap. 2) the ability to PRESS THE HOME BUTTON WITHOUT STOPPING STOP WATCH so you can change your music while running. Other than that it's a great replacement and 0.99 is worth it. *** Note: my rating of this app will go down if #1 especially isn't implemented...I recorded 2 more laps than I actually ran because I couldn't tell if I had pressed the button or not.

Handy
It's true that it would freeze after 70 or so laps before the update, but that is no longer an issue and I have never had this app crash on me. It's nice how you can save all your times under whatever name you want to stay organized, and then email them to yourself or to some other person.
Basically works but a couple major flaws
It does function as a stopwatch, however every time you press lap, it pauses momentarily. Most of the time it isn't major problem, but a stopwatch should not do this. If you want to test it keep hitting the lap button. each pause gets worse. At about 70-80 it completely stops for long periods of time.
Also it does not allow you to leave the program and return with it recognizing the time interval between, instead, if you leave and come back, it restarts and resets.

Better then iPhone timer
For me I want to save events and recall later would like to track three swimmers at a time. This is a good start for free I would pay a lot for a good one. Of seems like it would be easy to do.
Does not run in the background or sum race total
Thanks for adding lap running totals. But still lacks background running ability and more importantly final lap total and final race total.
nice app, but please add save feature
Very good app for use at races or practices. I coach a middle school cross country team. This is great for quickly tracking all of the runners times with a simple push of the lap button as each one finishes, and I don't have to frantically write times down. The iphone stopwatch doesn't accumulate time with each push of the lap button, so you have to go back and add the lap times to get a total time for each of my 25 runners. Most stopwatches don't keep multiple lap times, and even if it does you may forget the stopwatch but not your iphone.

Read the description before you write a review
It may not look as good as the one that comes with the iPhone/itouch, but that is not its purpose. I swim and time each lap of my friends races. It is a real pain to add up all the laps in the clock timer. This is a simple FREE app that does it's job. It may not be useful for you but don't trash it because of that.
