Maybe make a category limit of more than one. That is the main thing I would like you to change. But overall, not bad for a free app version of LiveSplit. ### 4/5 — A *2025-04-26, version 1.4.2* I got this to use on mobile. Please add a feature to use the timer in other apps if possible. ### 3/5 — Needs microphone support! *2024-09-04, version 1.4.2* Being able to split by saying split would be very helpful, manually splitting can be hit or miss. Please add a feature to split with voice/microphone. ### 2/5 — Glitchy *2023-07-21, version 1.4.1* Keeps changing my segment names for some reason. ### 4/5 — Great idea, but several very annoying bugs *2023-07-17, version 1.4.1* I love that this exists and I will definitely use it for my speed runs but there are several very annoying bugs. Worst is that I can’t change anything, the “save” button doesn’t save any of my split times, or split names. The times I can still do by literally timing my current PB, but it’s still very annoying. The split names I still can’t save. Please fix. Otherwise, great app. ### 4/5 — Solid Overall, but… *2023-06-08, version 1.4.1* I’ve been having a problem recently where if I want to change multiple things about a run, the app will only save one change, or none at all. ### 4/5 — Love this app but please add segment times! *2023-06-02, version 1.4.1* The feature I’m really missing is segment times being displayed. You can click the pencil in the top right corner of your run and you can see segment times for your PB, and you can see your gold splits. I would happily change my rating to five stars if two things were added: 1) Display your PB segment times (or provide an option in settings to show them if you want) on the main screen for each run. Specifically what I mean by this is I would really like to be able to see the time for each section of the run, rather than just the total time up to that split. As I mentioned, you can see this for your PB and for your gold splits by using the pencil icon, but I’d really love for this info to be available on the main screen of your run. 2) Display segment times for your current run once it’s complete (or again, this could be something that is optional through settings). Currently, the only way to see what time you got on a segment that isn’t a PB is to subtract the time you got up to that segment from the time you got up to the previous segment. I’d love for there to be an easy way to see this. To clarify with an example, runs currently display like this: Section 1: -2.5 2:30.0 Section 2: +3.2 3:40.0 Section 3: -8.9 6:56.2 So, for example, the only way to figure out what segment time you got for Section 2 is to take 3:40.0 and subtract 2:30.0 to get 1:10.0 total time spent on Section 2. This isn’t a huge deal, and I still love the app. I just think this could take it to the next level, and then it would have everything I could possibly ask for. Thanks for the app! I love it! ### 4/5 — Does the job *2023-05-26, version 1.4.1* The only issue is for some reason on a macbook it causes the computer to run hot. Not sure what causes this problem but it can get very hot. ### 3/5 — meh *2023-05-04, version 1.4.1* has some issues, one being that saving segments is almost impossible. it always never saves making me constantly going over and over again trying to save it. please fix this if possible. thanks. ### 4/5 — Really good *2023-04-21, version 1.4.1* Works great. My only complainant is that if you pause the timer and come back to it like a day later, the app will not remember it. ### 3/5 — No segments? *2023-04-15, version 1.4.1* When it said unlock the pro version for unlimited games and categories, I thought you’d get the named segments for the run. But you just get the picture of the game and the ability to select a run category. You have to create and fill the information for the segments yourself. So I’ve ended up paying two pound just for the picture basically, and not having to name my run myself. ### 3/5 — Timer *2023-01-03, version 1.4.1* How do i get a run id I recorded a run but how do I get a id for the run? ### 4/5 — Excellent *2022-11-11, version 1.4.1* I love this but please allow multi tasking it will help for games like on Roblox etc, for example Doors ### 4/5 — Near Perfect *2022-11-09, version 1.4.1* The only bad thing I can say about it is that doing anything other than splitting during a run is a bit harder than it should be. How it works is you have to hold down the split button for a half-second, then move your finger to what you want to do. (Mostly just pausing and unsplitting). Sure, this isn’t a problem if you’re just casually running a game, but good luck trying to figure out any without loading screens times Other than that, I have 0 complaints. If you’re looking for a solid timer that requires next to no setup, this works great ### 4/5 — Good but has problems *2022-09-12, version 1.4.1* The good It’s very easy to use I love how you can upload the run after finishing. It’s really fun and the icons that you can put on the side of your runs. It is a very good for a Mobile timer or well the payed version. Inter face is really good you can offset your time this is good for games like The ps5 / ps4 spider man game because there is a long cut seen. When I got into speed running With smo I choose this timer and I was very happy with it and the full version is worth the money The bad Why do you need to pay for more games. Discord and twitch is no use and barely active. Icons are pointless if spit doesn’t match. Hate the no colour flare. If you have a Mac or pc there is no use for paying because live spit is way better and free. ### 3/5 — It’s alright *2022-06-23, version 1.4.0* Pls add overlay for mobile it would be nice to other speed runners and a go to for it ### 4/5 — Как добавить поверх экрана? *2022-01-16* Серьезно, как? Мне же не придётся обычным таймером пользоваться? ### 4/5 — Perfect for short timings *2021-12-15, version 1.4.0* Trying to do a staggered 100% BOTW run (30 hrs), the app keeps resetting the timer after I pause and lock for a while. I get 2 hrs in, pause and it resets? Could be me ### 3/5 — Resets runs *2021-11-05, version 1.4.0* When using other apps it will sometimes reset your run. ### 4/5 — Seems like a great app *2021-10-06, version 1.4.0* It looks like it’s a really good app, I just didn’t read the description close enough, it’s not for speed-running on your phone/ipad, it’s for timing the runs you do on pc ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Der letzte dreck *2022-11-28* Man kann den Timer einf nicht bild-in-bild anzeigen lassen und das ist das einzige worauf es ankommt ### 1/5 — Como usar *2022-03-21* ACHEI QUE ERA UM CRONÔMETRO PARA SPEEDRUNS MAS ACHO QUE ME ENGANEI POIS NÃO ENTENDI cömō Ûsãr ### 1/5 — Just why *2021-02-18, version 1.4.0* Why why why..... I’m a beginner and i hate this app I just want to speed run my dream is to have a world record on a game but this app stops me it’s buggy and slow for me it doesn’t show real times and I’m on a brand net phone and it’s not a slow phone and I can’t afford a computer that is powerful enough to do a speed run or just run the games I want it to run so don’t get this app I hate it because it’s almost impossible to use ### 1/5 — Y *2020-07-21, version 1.4.0* Y isn’t there a good free speed run app ### 1/5 — Idk how to time my runs *2018-12-15, version 1.3.1* Plz reply idk how to time my runs ### 1/5 — Why *2018-06-28, version 1.3.0* If u don’t spend money then you can’t do more than one game so why even make it free just put a price on it cuz I can’t goddamn use it unless I delete the game and start a new one, 0 stars, uninstalled ### 1/5 — Shovelware *2018-03-03, version 1.2.0* Garbage game limit ### 2/5 — WHERE IS THE TIMER *2025-09-25, version 1.4.2* Everything is cool and the reviews look great but why can’t I find the timer? Everywhere I look there’s no timer. ### 2/5 — Difficult to navigate, use Sandypad instead *2025-01-20, version 1.4.2* Difficult to navigate and setup, annoying to use. Has lots of icons that took a while to figure out what they meant. Creating splits was much more time consuming than any other tool I’ve used, and splits would bug out if I wanted to rearrange them. App was also generally annoying to use even during runs if I needed to do anything other than split because of needing to hold down on the screen. For context I’m not running things that are importable from Speedrun.com so I had to create custom splits Technically works so can’t give it one star but was not a good experience. Tried Sandypad and that is way way smoother experience. ### 2/5 — A few flaws… *2024-09-17, version 1.4.2* I like the idea, I just wish you could exit out and go into a game and still have it open. Also I feel like there are many bugs, such as the split names sometimes deleting themselves. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Clarification plz *2024-11-15, version 1.4.2* I downloaded this app hoping to beat the we on some cool math games games and I’m going to get premium but I just want some clarification about the pricing it’s 3 aud and I’m going to pay but nothing specifically says it’s a one time payment I don’t really want to pay 3 bucks a month cos that gets to $36 a year and I could be spending that on 4.5 Fortnite battle passes please respond asap ### 5/5 — Good App *2023-03-16, version 1.4.1* This app is great and I’ve had it for about a year. This app provides everything I need and the recent patch made the app less buggy. Thank you for this amazing app. ### 5/5 — Sick timer - very convenient and easy to use *2022-10-26, version 1.4.1* I’ve never written a review before, but this app is incredible. I use this for sm64, oot, paper mario, link’s awakening, and even random stuff for jokes (drawing 10 amogi as fast as possible). The $2 extension is definitely worth it. Being able to add custom icons that you can get of splits.io is pretty cool. Just a suggestion, but I think it would be nice to be able to start audio files after certain splits. For any% in oot, after I finish my crawlspace split, I switch to files and play a metronome beat to make sure I have the right timing for a certain trick that I cannot see because of the camera. This would also be useful for other games as well that have times when you need to play to a certain beat. I think this would be useful, but not necessary. Love this app. Definitely recommend for everybody even if they already have livesplit. ### 5/5 — Worth it *2022-09-24, version 1.4.1* Great app for speedrunning, could recommend more but this one is by far the easiest to set up, if you pay the premium that is which is something I recommend doing if you want to play two games ### 5/5 — Super Application *2022-02-01* Merci du fond du cœur . C’est une super app et un super équivalent à livesplit sur mobile . Keep up the good work . ### 5/5 — Very good app *2021-08-10, version 1.4.0* I have wanted to try out speed running on mobile so I got this app and it’s really good but just to say could you add a tutorial page on how to set it up on a game like roblox for example Thank you :) ### 5/5 — Thank you *2021-07-19, version 1.4.0* He I think this is great yes I did pay for it because I like speed running and I didn’t want to use the clock app where I can’t tell how fast I was on let’s say bob-omb battlefield and I have done 2 super Mario 64 speed runs and 1 super Mario odyssey speed run anyway thank you ### 5/5 — Love it *2021-06-01, version 1.4.0* Good to use😃 ### 5/5 — To the people who made FramePerfect Speedrun timer *2021-02-02, version 1.4.0* Thank y’all for making this awesome timer because my stopwatch was inaccurate for some reason. ### 5/5 — Only £2 *2021-01-28, version 1.4.0* The app is almost basically useless if you don’t pay the extra £2 for premium. But the premium version is 100% worth it. As many runs as you want with as many splits as you want! Couldn’t really be better. Would recommend to a starting speed runner. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
