## What is Handball Watch?

Finally a digital solution for the handball referee! With this app you can easily register 3 game related details:
- game time
- score
- penalties (incl 2-min!!)

Please Note: the app fully supports English, French, German and Dutch. Screenshots in Dutch/English are just me deciding to spent time improving app and not spend time to make language specific screenshots.. sorry ;) 

Especially the registering of time penalties is made extremely easy. No matter how many time penalties are given, every penalty is properly shown and a signal is given when one or more are finished.

A full overview of all given warnings and penalties per team and player makes it easy to keep track of what penalties have been given to whom.

Finally all events are logged on the related iPhone App and can be shared with one push of the button.

For now this app is still free, but this is temporary.
Take this chance as early adopter and help us further develop this to become the ultimate watch for a handball referee!

## Key features

- Game time tracking
- Score management
- Penalty registration (incl. 2-min)
- Penalty expiration signals
- Overview of warnings and penalties
- Event logging and sharing

### 2/5 — Keine verbindung mit apple watch

*2026-02-15, version 1.3.1*

Ich kann meine Apple Watch leider nicht mit der App verbinden. Vielleicht könnte mir jemand helfen

### 4/5 — Apple Watch: to be performed on Apple Watch

*2021-12-04, version 1.3.1*

L’app est top! Il suffit juste d’améliorer son affichage sur la Watch et son utilisation. 
Pas pratique pour ajouter les buts. Peut être un bouton + pour chaque équipe suffit ( avec un long appuie de 3 seconde pour enregistrer un but).

### 4/5 — Super Idee, aber bei mir nicht lauffähig

*2021-08-30, version 1.3.1*

Zunächst möchte ich betonen, dass ich die Idee zu dieser App total begrüße, da ich schon lange auf der Suche nach so etwas bin. Entsprechend groß war meine Freude, als ich diese App entdeckt habe. 

Aber leider wurde sie gedämpft, da auf meiner Apple Watch Serie 2 die Spielzeit nicht richtig angezeigt wird. Es erscheint zum Beispiel „2:…“

Auch die Funktion „Feedback an den Entwickler“ innerhalb der Handy-App hat mir nicht funktioniert (es passierte gar nichts), so dass ich nun den Weg über die Rezension nehme. 

Aber auch, wenn ich die App so natürlich nicht benutzen kann, wollte ich eine positive Rezension geben, da diese Bugs sicher noch gefixt werden.

### 1/5 — Application non finit

*2019-10-16, version 1.3.1*

L application est incomplète, elle n est pas optimisée pour l Apple Watch, les buts sont très compliqués à inscrire, obligation d avoir l iPhone à côté et même avec l iPhone il est super compliqué d utiliser l app, la seul fonction qui marche est le chronomètre

### 3/5 — Not working but promising

*2019-04-03*

Very good concept that I’ve been looking for a very long time. But I can’t put the goals. When I press the screen on the watch (home/away) nothing happens. Also I don’t understand what the voice does. Also I don’t know how to restart a game. Or to finish one. 
Also would be nice if we could edit if we do a number mistake when putting cards. I would love to help and give further feedback if you wish so .

### 4/5 — Problème de score

*2018-12-15, version 1.3.1*

Comment fait on pour marquer un but ?

### 5/5 — Beste Schiri-App .... : )))

*2018-11-14, version 1.3.1*

Habe viele Schiri-Apps durch und ich muss sagen, diese ist die Beste. 
Tolle Einbindung der Apple Watch, super schnelle Synchronisierung zwischen App und Watch, Bedienung übersichtlich und Funktionell, klasse ist auch das ein Spielberichts-Protokoll mitgeschrieben wird, welches im Nachgang auch versendet werden kann. Diese App ist durchaus auch für andere Sportarten nutzbar. 
Ich zum Beispiel bin Faustball-Schiedsrichterin und kann sie durchweg empfehlen. 
Der Entwickler ist offen für Feedback und Anregungen und reagiert sehr schnell. Auch diese Tatsache fließt in meine Bewertung mit ein und ist mir daher ganze 5 Sterne wert. 

Mein Fazit: Beste Schiri-App ...  👍

### 1/5 — Good on iPhone, app doesn’t show on Apple Watch

*2018-07-15*

It looks like the app works quite good on the iPhone, however on my Apple Watch 3rd generation, the app isn’t even available to install from the watch app. Therefore, to me, this app is useless. I can’t take my phone out onto the field, I can only use my watch. If this issue gets resolved the. I will be more then happy to adjust my rating. Until then however, 1 Star is the best I can do since the one feature I need (namely a WATCH app and not a phone app) isn’t working at all.

**Developer response:** You are the only one that reported this problem... 🤔
Can it be something on your end? 
Please try again and contact me at support@handballwatch.com, so I can assist directly. 
Please adjust this rating if you get it fixed. 🙏🏻
