Football 40/25 Playclock User Reviews

Top reviews

Great for girls flag football

This is my second year using this app and I will say it’s amazing being the Referee with a 25 second play clock. I set my haptic setting in my Apple Watch to prominent and it works well for 10 seconds left and 5 seconds remaining.

Have to delete app to exit off watch.

Love it for the game but after the game it will not end game on my watch. And yes I scroll down and push “end game” and it still won’t clear off my watch. I have to delete the app off my phone then download it again for next game.

The total time doesn’t seem to work

Not changing at all, sometimes goes up 1 or 2 seconds. Unless it’s minutes??

Simple & easy to use

Works exactly as described - zero problems. As BJ, I would like to see button to record penalties (voice recorder).

Easy to use...

App works great on the field... I don’t like the way that it adds so much “activity” to my move and exercise goals..

I’m sure I don’t burn 1200 calories doing a 2 hour football game...

Terrible, terrible, terrible

This app will not stop asking for access to your health data. You say no, it asks again in 5 seconds, and again and again. After saying yes, it still keeps asking for your data. Either way, it completely screws up your daily activity tracking. It posts every minute as exercise and amplifies your calories burned to a level that is beyond believable. Once started on the watch, it never stops. You can reset a game, but the “end game” feature never works. It just runs and runs in the background, giving you 1000 exercise minutes and 10,000 calories burned. I have had to delete it from my apps all four times I’ve downloaded it. I will never download it again. I would rather pay $75 for a timer that does what it’s supposed to do and nothing more.

First, my apologies for the issue the app is having on your device. If you send an email to the support email I would be willing to address it with you. Have a great season!

May affect activity

Great ap and well thought out. Not complaining about a free ap but be aware this may dramatically increase your exercise time and therefore your total calories in Activity. Even with ap forced closed (and even deleted) my Apple Watch was stuck in exercise mode. I had to reset the watch to clear it out of that mode.

If you scroll to the bottom of the app screen and press “end game” it will stop the activity. I will make this clearer in the iPhone app in the next release.

Great App - Easy Use

Used it to time a fast-paced scrummage. Very easy to use. Absolutely no problem starting or resetting a timer.

You are not looking down at your watch as you might think to start/stop. 1 second max.

Health data

Why does it keep asking for it? It doesn’t need it to work. Why can’t I tell it “no”?

Response from developer

In order to be able to run in background mode the app requires access to workout data. If you deny it access to workout data the timer will likely be inaccurate and pause while the screen is off. All workout data is stored on the watch and your phone, it is never uploaded to an external source. This is a restriction of watchOS. If you have any questions please feel free to email the support email address.

Need one thing

Only thing I can think of to improve this app is to have a “custom” timer

Please send an email to the support email address with your feedback for evaluation for a future version.

Great app

App works great and will be extremely helpful on the field this fall!
