## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 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

### 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 — 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!

### 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.

### 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.

### 5/5 — Nice

*2018-03-15, version 1.02*

I prefer this application to other stopwatch app because I can customize the graphics color as I want. Lovely.

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2018-03-15, version 1.02*

Of course, it is really easy to use just tap the screen as well as tap everywhere. It is extremely convenient.

### 5/5 — Easily the best Stopwatch

*2018-03-09*

I use this when timing my Wim Hof Method breathing times and it is perfect. 
So easy to use and the fact the screen touch function always is in the same place whether landscape or portrait means I can start and stop the stopwatch without looking at the screen.
