## What is Big Tap Digital Stopwatch?

Big Tap Display Stopwatch makes it effortless to start and stop the stopwatch by tapping any part of the screen. 

With both Landscape and Portrait displays it is easy to see the Time easily in large clear font.

Fully customizable display with 6 Background Colors, 6 Text Colors and 4 available Fonts.

App Features
- Large Landscape and Portrait Displays
- Saves Previous Times
- 4 Different Fonts
- 6 Background Colors
- 6 Text Colors
- Just Tap the Screen to Start/Stop the Stopwatch
- Prevent the Screen from Locking while App is Open
- Can Force App to Stay in Landscape Mode (except on iPad)

This App was developed as an easy way to Start and Stop a stopwatch without having to look at the screen, because the buttons never move if in Portrait or Landscape. We also wanted to stop the device from being auto-locked, which would stop you from starting or stopping the clock.

### 5/5 — Great work out companion

*2026-06-28, version 2.11*

Wonderful to have this timer!
It is customizable to your preferences. The visiability so wonderful!
Thanks you it’s great for my mobility and balance workouts!

### 1/5 — Garbage ads

*2025-12-11, version 2.10*

I loaded and deleted this thing twice. The ads are intolerable.

### 1/5 — uninstalling due to invasive ads

*2025-10-12, version 2.10*

using the timer normally and I get an ad directly after I press the start timer. I wasn't able to stop the timer until after the ad finished...

### 1/5 — Potential destroyed

*2025-09-13, version 2.10*

A solid product that was destroyed when to remove ads for a simple Stopwatch was priced at $12 
Most others were around $2 
They let themselves down

### 5/5 — Very useful

*2024-09-14, version 1.13*

I love this STOPWATCH program… use it to track amount of time commercials take within a TV program… am compiling data.

### 2/5 — Doesn't keep counting in the background

*2024-07-18, version 1.13*

As per the title, the app is as advertised (big screen, easy taps etc) but does not continue counting when changing between other apps.

### 5/5 — Time set reps

*2019-10-08, version 1.10*

Easy to set. Large screen can easily be seen from the floor.

### 5/5 — Couldn’t ask for more/less

*2018-10-10, version 1.06*

Well, actually the customizable fonts and colors are not necessary.  However, the display is labeled as milliseconds, but that would need to show three places.  Two digits, as provided, shows centiseconds.  For most purposes and considering the human triggering, a hundredth of a second is pushing it — precisely.  Start/Stop by tapping anywhere is the prime advantage.  Other stopwatch apps fail, since usually attention is on the event, not seeking a tiny button.  Thanks for the ergonomic 👍

### 5/5 — I would have easily paid a dollar for this

*2018-06-23, version 1.06*

Beautiful, super simple, super easy. No fiddling to press the correct button when you are in a hurry. Giant display. Minimalist and perfect.

### 5/5 — Awesome timer

*2018-06-17, version 1.06*

No longer miss PR’s while searching for that small stop button on your screen.  Press anywhere on your screen to start and stop the timer.
