But I have a suggestion for improvement: It would be convenient if you could start/stop the time with the help of the Digital Crown or the side button. I don't know if this is possible but it would be very useful! ### 4/5 — Nice, but eats the battery *2025-05-20* If only this app would not use up so much power it would be great. Also using side buttons to start and stop time would be nicer. ### 5/5 — IOS 10 Update *2024-11-19* Finally got a chance to use this app in a tournament situation. It was very intuitive and the screen layout was easier to use than prior versions. The addition of the corner timer and the shootout timer was a great improvement. Thanks **Developer response:** Hi Lourader, glad to hear you're so positive about the last update. Enjoy, and good luck on the pitch! ### 4/5 — Can’t re download *2024-01-26* Concept is great. Used it for couple of weeks and all seemed fine but couldn’t change from quarters to halves. Uninstalled but could not reinstall!? Just says purchased in App Store!? The only app I have paid for and can’t use. I have sent messages but heard nothing back. Paid for an app I can’t use **Developer response:** Hi Argent67, I haven't seen an e-mail from you, weird! However, I'm glad to help. To re-download the app, open the App Store on your Apple Watch instead of on your phone and search for MatchGear there. You'll be able to re-download without a problem! If you need further help, please e-mail info@matchgear.app. ### 1/5 — Problem *2023-11-18* Cannot reload the app after I purchased it Really poor **Developer response:** Hi Top umpires, to re-download the app, open the App Store on your Apple Watch instead of on your phone and search for MatchGear there. You'll be able to re-download without a problem! If you need further help, please e-mail info@matchgear.app. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on IOS 10 *2023-11-13* This was a decent app, not perfect, but good as back up to pencil and paper however, this doesn’t work properly and causes battery drain on IOS 10. On advice, deleted the app and battery life now restored however, cannot reload the app as it shows as already purchased so greyed out in App Store **Developer response:** Hi Satnavuser, all WatchOS 10 and 11 related problems are fixed in the latest update. You shouldn't experience any problems anymore. To re-download the app, open the App Store on your Apple Watch instead of on your phone and you'll be able to re-download! ### 5/5 — Beste App *2023-01-16* Funktioniert super! Benutze sie als Schiedsrichter. ### 3/5 — Great tool *2022-04-24* Great tool to use as an umpire. Just need to be able to reload it onto upgraded devises such as Apple watch 5 to Apple watch 7. App Store says I’ve purchased but I can’t reload it Like other normal apps. Also be good if it could be used on iPhone itself as well. ### 4/5 — Using this as a field hockey tech official rather than onfield umpire *2021-06-27* Would love an iPhone version so I can leave it in front of me while on duty. I would need it to allow addition of cards in field hockey without pausing the game clock. Not all competitions pause the clock and some only pause play depending on the game rules. ## Frequently asked questions about MatchGear ### How do I re-download MatchGear on my watch?
