## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.4 — 2025-11-05

1.0.4 - Added tenths-of-second support on the game clock (toggle to turn it on/off is in the 3rd page’s menu).

1.0.3 - Several small improvements, including: 1) stronger countdown haptics (5-to-1 seconds); 2) memory of last clock when app reopens; 3) corrected action for direction to swipe for return to clocks on Game Clock settings page; 4) inclusion of version number on the Play Clock settings page; and 5) A “Stop All” button to help provide an alternative way to close the app’s battery-eating functions (namely, the Workout Session required for always-on performance). Also ensures the Play Clock counts the first second fully instead of auto-triggering to the next second prematurely.

1.0.2 - Shrinks font slightly to allow app to work perfectly in all sizes of Apple Watch

1.0.1 - Added HealthKit to enable always-on functions and background continuation of timers (no data is collected)
