### 5/5 — Nice app

*2024-02-17*

Nice

### 1/5 — Need for upgrade just to be able to customize the duration?

*2018-02-15*

Ridiculous

### 5/5 — Prima

*2016-05-29*

Funktioniert prima. Es gab einen Bug der allerdings schnell behoben wurde. Empfehlung!

### 1/5 — 23 minutes!!!!

*2016-02-01*

The time is set to 23 minutes for each side and cannot be changed unless you pay for upgrade.

### 1/5 — Nutzlos, da man nichts konfigurieren kann

*2015-08-07*

Jeder Spieler hat generell 23 min für das Spiel. Eine Veränderung der Einstellungen ist nur nach einem Upgrade möglich.

### 1/5 — Fies gemacht!

*2014-12-24*

Bei der light Version kann man die Zeit nicht anpassen - wer will schon mit 23' spielen? Da gibts bessere kostenlose Apps, die volle Funktion bieten und nur (fairerweise) Werbung einblenden.
Diese hier hingegen ist ein klassischer Fall von "was nix kostet, ist auch nix".

### 2/5 — Tasten zu klein

*2014-12-05*

Das Konzentrieren darauf, die kleine Taste zu treffen, lenkt zu sehr vom Spiel ab. Zudem kann man scheinbar in der light Version die Zeiten nicht verändern? Nach einem Versuch wieder gelöscht...

### 1/5 — Free version is just a demo really

*2014-10-26*

You have to pay if you want anything other than the default of 23 mins for each player.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2014-10-07*

Function crippled in demo and does not react promptly on buttonpress

### 1/5 — Ne fonctionne pas

*2013-12-28*

Inutile de charger cette appli qui ne fonctionne pas sur iPad 3 ios 7.
