### 5/5 — Русский язык

*2025-08-28*

Приложение хорошее. Ну нужен русский язык. Добавьте пожалуйста русский язык.

### 2/5 — Overall winners?

*2023-05-22*

I used this last year for a 5K. I can’t figure out how to do results where the top 3 men and women are removed from the age groups. Emailed them a week before and got no response. This is pretty important for most races.

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2020-01-08, version 1.7.6*

I’ve used race splitter for multiple events, I can’t fault it, once you understand how it works , it can save thousands on a timing system.

### 5/5 — Русский язык

*2018-10-18*

Отличное приложение. Которому нет аналогов. Добавьте пожалуйста русский язык

### 5/5 — Good!

*2017-04-02*

Very good. I need version for iPad. Please

### 2/5 — Not worth it

*2015-10-14*

I’ve been organizing races for over a decade, back when timing was done using a handheld Seiko timer with paper roller print out. Then Stevens Creek came out with PocketTimer for the Palm Pilot and that was awesome. Still quirky but better than the old way, especially after they ported over to iPhone. Jump ahead and now the RaceSplitter is here with web based access. On the outset, it is very promising - especially the simplified input of racers and categories using a template with limited fields and the ability to import a CSV file. But using it can be frustrating, especially when it comes to making changes to timing entries on the fly (particularly if a wave start is used). Once you enable Auto-Split you are prohibited from making changes on the fly. Despite this, I continued to use it because I liked how the results were so easy to upload to RaceSplitter’s servers. But I cannot use it anymore as I narrowly avoided a catastrophe this past weekend at an event. Two days before the race I was trying to enter in racers directly into the app. I had no internet access so this was the only method I could use. The program kept crashing and wouldn’t let me add racers. Luckily, I still had Pockettimer Pro on my iPad and was able to duplicate the roster and then add the new racers very easily. Disappointed with RaceSplitter.

**Developer response:** App crashes are almost always related to running either an outdated version of RaceSplitter or (more often) the iOS. As you can see from the website, almost 2 million people have been timed with RaceSplitter, and our Results sections—containing only those results people have made public—are voluminous every month. In many sports, like Nordic skiing, it's the de-facto product, recommended by the various sports associations.

In cases where an app crashes, which is almost certainly an isolated situation, it would be preferable that customers contact our support team, rather than just posting a negative review on an app, which can be catastrophic to the business. Thanks.

### 5/5 — Great to use ... Check your Junk Email

*2014-09-02, version 1.7.3*

Fantastic product. Took me a while to realise that the password change emails were going to the junk folder. Love the program and our timers find it simple to use when timing Mountain Bike lap races with up to 100 riders going solo with male, female, mixed teams of 2 and 3.

### 5/5 — Perfection

*2014-05-15*

After some back n forth just to make sure it was going to do what I wanted (predict your time style run) I purchased this app. It worked perfect!!  Customer service was awesome too. I saved about 200 bucks by using this app. Thanks RaceSplitter!

### 5/5 — Very good ... but

*2014-04-27, version 1.7.2*

I've used this for an annual flat water kayak race for 3 years and the maturing of the product and my skill make it work almost flawlessly now. However I have one big gripe that the developers refuse to budge on: you need to swipe to start a race - this is not precise enough and prone to miss-swiping.  It should be a clear button press like the Record a Time button.  We always have larger backup stopwatch timing differences than we should have due to this silly feature.

### 2/5 — Please add way to enter time first, then bib

*2013-10-28, version 1.6.1*

The main problem with this app is that it requires you to enter the bib number of the approaching runner at or before when the racer crosses the finish line.  If the bib is on the back or obscured - or there are three runner finishing and blocking the view to bib numbers - the times will be off.  Worse, there's no way to adjust the times on the app itself after you make this type of timing error - you have to first upload the results to the website, then edit.

We'd like to see the timing done the opposite way.  Give us a way to enter just the time stamps, and then add the bibs later.  This is how timing is done with the age-old pen & paper method (or semi-automated using the Casio time printer).
