## What is PBTimer?

Instead of finding someone to start the paintball game and straining your voice so that everyone can hear the start of the game, use PBTimer and a speaker to call the start.

Need a time limit? Just set the time limit and PBTimer will automatically stop the game after enough time has passed.

Just set it and forget it.

Spend more time playing and less time starting the game.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2019-11-12*

This is great for people who are just having fun at a home field or something. If only you could pause the game instead of stopping the game and resetting it.....👍🏼

### 5/5 — 4 stars for one reason

*2018-10-17*

This makes practice so much easier. My one issue is that it skips the beep on 8 and beeps twice on 7. Really annoying.
Update, I opened the app up again and the beep skip was fixed. Works perfectly!

### 2/5 — Eh

*2016-11-05*

Doesn't really do it for me
