Weird decision for highlighted minute
Works well and well thought out, but very strange that the highlighted minute isn’t the number of minutes left - for example, start a 5 minute timer and let it run for 30 seconds and the app will appear to display 5:30 instead of 4:30. And that 1 minute disconnect persists all the way to the end, where the last 10 seconds, for example, will be displayed with 1 highlighted, making it look like it’s 1:10. Subtracting one from the highlighted minute so that it displays the actual countdown time would be worth the 5th star!
Would also be nice to have a custom time countdown option for something other than 1,2,3,4,5 minutes.

No longer see the countdown numbers.
It worked great a year ago but now it has stopped counting down. Plus, the pitch of the beep is annoying. I uninstalled and reinstalled to no avail.
So great
Does what it does so well. Great, simple timer, reliable, nice warning before abandoning countdown, great sync option near the minutes. I use this to run high school races at regattas when our start box isn’t working, and during practice all the time. Used to have a Ronstan sailing watch for this but those stop working after about 3 years for some dumb (and expensive) reason.
Only problem with this app is using it will probably lead to me dropping my phone in the river sometime. Which won’t be the app’s fault, but still.

Rubbish. Timer jumps straight to 59 seconds the instant you start it therefore losing a second. Not acceptable.
Response from developer
Hi, that is actually how any timer works because when you get to 00 seconds, that lasts for 1 second, making it 60 seconds in total for each minute. I encourage you to test it with any other timer at the same time and you will see that 5 minutes in Yacht Timer are indeed accurate. If you agree on this in the end, please update your review, thanks! :)
