### 5/5 — BeepWatch can now be completely Haptic - thank you to the developer

*2026-07-05*

Scott DeSapio, the developer, is super responsive. We had a few email exchanges where he told me how to make my timer (alarm) on my watch vibrate without making sounds. (set volume = 0) - He also at my suggestion added a feature where the haptic alarm will keep going off until you stop it - great addition! This is a great app and thank you again to the developer!

**Developer response:** Thank you for the wonderful review, Rex! ❤️🫵🏼

### 4/5 — Apple Watchで使える唯一のスプリットタイム（累計タイム）計測アプリ！

*2026-05-16*

タイトルの機能が欲しくて使ってます。Apple Watchは高い割に、純正アプリだとラップタイムは計測できてもスプリットタイムは計測できない不便な一面があります。このアプリはそれを解消してくれました！
ただ、難点もあり、ラップもスプリットも6個までしか表示されません（7個目以降は、1個目の記録が消えていってしまう仕様）。開発陣の方、ぜひここを改善したアップデートを期待しています！だから星四つです。

**Developer response:** ご丁寧なレビューをいただき、改めてありがとうございます。

以前ご指摘いただいたApple Watchでのラップ・スプリットタイム表示の件、最新版（3.6.0）で改善しました。これまで画面上に直近の数件しか表示されず、古い記録が見えなくなってしまう仕様でしたが、ラップリストはすべての記録を表示するようになり、スクロールして過去のスプリットタイムをいつでも確認できます。

App Storeからアップデートをダウンロードして、ぜひお試しください。ご期待に沿える改善になっていれば幸いです。貴重なフィードバックのおかげでこの対応ができました。ありがとうございました。

Thank you again for your thoughtful review. The Apple Watch lap display issue you raised is fixed in the latest update (3.6.0). The lap list now shows your full split-time history instead of only the most recent entries — scroll down during or after a run to review every lap. Please download the update from the App Store and give it a try. Your feedback made this improvement possible. Thank you.

### 5/5 — Handy App and Responsive Service!

*2026-05-13*

BeepWatch is a very handy app and it’s not just for interval training! First I used it for daily stretching. Next I set up a routine for manually watering new landscape. Works great for both and I’m sure I’ll come up with many more uses. It’s very flexible and I like the audible and haptic alerts as it transitions from one interval to the next. Scott provides great service! I was slightly annoyed that my watch face kept rotating and was upside down when I looked at it. I asked about it and he had a fix the next day. Thanks Scott!

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for the wonderful review! ♥️🫵🏼

### 5/5 — Bleep watch

*2026-05-11, version 3.5.3*

Excellent

### 3/5 — Unfortunate change

*2026-04-24*

I liked the old simpler version

**Developer response:** Thanks for the note. Sorry to hear the new version isn't to your liking. Unfortunately, the old version was on its last leg and had to be updated. If there's anything specific you'd like to see in the new version, please write me at https://bit.ly/WriteScottDeSapio and I'll definitely do what I can to accommodate.

### 5/5 — Best companion for my workouts.

*2026-01-31*

I just wanted a simple stopwatch to track my rest time and an alert to start my next set. I would love to have larger buttons like two big circles for lap and pause or restart. It would also be nice to have some kind of counter to show how many sets I have completed. But overall, I really love this app. 

***Update*** What a great improvement from the last version, at some point I was afraid of the app losing support but I was proven wrong. I truly believe the developer read the email I sent him long ago, because now the app does everything I wanted and I had been looking for an app like this for a long time and even better. My previous timers got deleted but it was not a big deal because with the app now I was able to set the time for my rest and how many rounds I needed which made it easy to set up the timers again.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for the wonderful review, joannothing. And yes, you are 100% correct - I personally read every email that comes in. So glad you're loving the update!

### 5/5 — (Update) IT’S Now Very Complicated

*2026-01-28*

Update: I took some time and eventually figured it out. It’s really still a great app. I use it for many things, but my cold showers are where it really shines. Instead of trying to endure 2 minutes, I calmly count the 30 second alerts until I’ve reached 2 minutes. 

(Old review): I loved the BeepWatch! I paid for no ads and it was very reasonable. But I was just “grandfathered-in” to BeepWatch pro and now the timers I created are gone and creating new timers is ridiculously complicated. Why would you do this? Can you un- “grandfather“ me? 
I want my old BeepWatch back.

**Developer response:** So glad to hear you got it sorted out and are now enjoying the new version, Trav! Great to have you back! 

OLD RESPONSE: Sorry to hear the new BeepWatch is not to your liking. Unfortunately, the old version hadn't been updated in quite some time and was soon to be removed from the App Store. If you go into settings, and turn off "Advanced Mode", the interface should be nearly identical to the old version. Please don't hesitate to reach out to me directly at https://bit.ly/WriteScottDeSapio if you're still having trouble.

### 3/5 — Unfortunate change

*2026-01-27, version 3.0.4*

I liked the old simpler version

### 2/5 — Change For Change’s Sake?

*2026-01-21*

Mmm. Not a fan. New UI is slick, no doubt… but it’s wiped all my customised settings from V2, now comprises a wealth of new presets I can’t even delete (so is just ‘visual noise’ filling the screen), it’s now replete with nag screens to “upgrade to Pro” and standard/non-Pro UI themes are all kinda garish and not so legible… AND an accursed subscription (or hefty price tag)? In this economy?! I respect the work put in but am literally NEVER upgrading my iPad (wish I could roll back my phone); the eye candy isn’t worth the disruption.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your honest feedback—it's incredibly valuable to hear from longtime users like you who’ve stuck with BeepWatch through the versions. I totally get the frustration with the transition; we aimed to modernize the UI and add more features, but it's clear that some changes, like the preserved presets and theme options, have created more noise than help for some folks. The old V2 hadn't been updated in about 7 years and was starting to show errors on newer iOS versions, which pushed us to rebuild from the ground up to keep things stable and compatible. Losing custom settings is especially disruptive, and I'm sorry that happened—it's something we're looking into improving for future updates.

On the subscription front, I hear you loud and clear about the economy and the shift from one-time purchases. We introduced it to support ongoing development (like new presets and themes), but it's not everyone's cup of tea.

To make this right and let you experience the full potential without the commitment, I'd love to hook you up with a promo code for a free upgrade to Pro. Just go to https://bit.ly/WriteScottDeSapio, send me a note, and I'll send it over right away—no strings attached. That way, you can tweak themes, ditch the nags, and see if it grows on you.

In the meantime, if there's anything specific from V2 you'd like us to prioritize bringing back (or any other tweaks), hit me up. Appreciate you taking the time to share this!

### 5/5 — Great App

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 3.6.54 — 2026-08-11

* Fixed Apple Health workout durations so they reflect only actual running time, not time spent waiting to reset or stop the alert.

### 3.6.53 — 2026-08-03

### 3.6.52 — 2026-08-01

• Apple Watch Ultra의 액션 버튼이 이제 타이머를 안정적으로 시작합니다 — 앱을 열기 전 콜드 스타트 상태에서도 작동하며, 항상 기본 타이머를 사용하는 대신 화면에 표시된 타이머를 따릅니다
