Wow

Lights are way off and unable to adjust timing. Lights go to green then tones sound.

Bug causes it to crash

With the current iOS the settings button causes the app to crash. Please update.

Great App which would be better with a few changes

It would be useful if the repeat functionality could work while I am filming my starts using the camera app At the moment the countdown stops working when I start the video. I have tried to get round this using my iPod touch for the gate start but the sound volume on maximum is very low. Otherwise 5 stars

Good but needs an added feature

A really needed feature to have when using autostart is use two buttons, a reset and a skip. The skip of course lets you immediately trigger the 10 sec final count.

Does exactly what it's supposed to do.

Nice having the repeat and timer combo so you can drop a gate and get your bike reloaded without ever touching the app.
