Can’t find advanced features

Nice app, does exactly what I want - except, I want to show elapsed time after the countdown has ended.

This is listed as an advanced feature, but I can’t see where to select any of these.

Response from developer

You can double-tap or press-and-hold the Timer icon on the settings screen to toggle that option.

Brilliant Sports Countdown Timer

Really useful countdown timer.

I would love to see the airhorn as an option to start a countdown for our sports events not just the finish of the countdown. Can you add this option soon please?

Works great

Wish it could actually count down to a date and time. Eg could down to an apple event on a certain date and at a certain time.
