But the f3k added some new tasks and also timing to the .1 now. So if that is required it only records to the second on the task. ### 5/5 — Excellent usability and features! *2016-10-13* 5⭐️!!! Can't wait for the next release with updated rules! ### 4/5 — Good app but needs improvement to deserve the 5-stars *2011-08-25* Haven't used it for real but at first sight I can suggest: - The task start time should be able to simultaneously start the worktime timer. - It would be nice to be able to actually store "sessions/contests". Yes, the app currently stores all your tasks, but what if you want store all your tasks from a contest or practice session. - It would be nice to have a built-in points calculator. ### 4/5 — Almost perfect *2011-08-23* Good timer... Needs a few minor tweaks - most of which are promised for v2.1 ### 4/5 — Useful! *2011-08-15* I tried this app during an F3K event last weekend. It was very useful. Most of the tasks we flew were pre loaded, the other (3 x 3 min task) I was able to use another task to provide timing for. AS the comp got tight it became necessary to decide if the flier could complete the task and do the next before the round expired. The rounds count down in seconds, the working time in minutes - it would be useful if the working time remaining was in minutes and seconds and just seconds - to match the flight time count down. For the future I would like to see the ability to save and export results. ### 5/5 — RC Timer Pro *2011-06-15, version 2.0* This is great for practicing F3K Task.. I use this all the time. Would be even better with a voice count down for the last minute. Would recomend to any glider pilot as it has all disciplines of soaring comps. f3j.f3b Nick ### 5/5 — Great timer! *2011-01-13* Love the quick and ease of picking tasks! -- Update: Still loving the app much better than pen and paper and timer. Requests: Add the ability to change the way time is displayed like just seconds or minutes and seconds etc. Doing math in your head can be rough sometimes. ### 5/5 — Great App *2010-12-21* I really like this App. I've used palm apps for F3k before and there's no comparison. The multiple tasks are great and easy to set up. The only thing I could ask for is for it to know when I throw and land! I still need someone to start and stop it for me. Great practice tool, hope to use it in casual competition soon. Recommend it to anyone interested in having a timing utility for RC. Would like to see LMR task timer added as well. ### 4/5 — RC Timer pro *2010-04-10, version 0* Pretty basic but does the job effectively. Good to see a dedicated app for glider comps. More customisability would be nice and the accumulation of successive flight times on the main screen until deleted back office could be confusing. ## Frequently asked questions about RC ### What disciplines does RC-Timer Pro support?

You had up to 5 targets/valid flights. Now only 3 flights will be counted. - Task L "One flight" was added. - Task M "Increasing time by 2 minutes“ (Huge Ladder”) was added. The resolution of flight time is now 0,1 sec instead of 1 sec. The 'rules' page is changed into a link to the official FAI site instead of a copy. ### 3.1 — 2017-07-06 This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon. - Sound is now coming from the right (bottom) speakers - Added the possibility to start/stop flights by tapping on the screen - Improved the Poker task for F3K. Entering 130 means 1:30 min. Entering 0 means until the end of the worktime - In Training mode the flight time starts automatically after the preparation time has elapsed ### 3.0 — 2017-05-08 Changed the layout in such a way that a table (from previous flights) is shown, or the current flight. Whatever you want. Swipe up on the single-flight-view to reveal the table and swipe the table down to reveal the single-flight-view again. Small improvements: - added the F3K task K, Big Ladder - added functionality for F3K task E, Poker - Solved a bug where the sound does not stop after starting F3K task H - Solved a bug in F3B ### 2.5 — 2014-04-27 While flying, a pilot is not interested in earlier flights, so show information about the current flight in a much greater area. Prevent Auto lock is only enabled while flying. This will not drain your battery if you forget to close the App. Fixed a bug in F3B Distance. The calculation for the expected number of rounds is changed. ### 2.4 — 2014-02-17 - F5J Support. Like F3J but additionally until 30 seconds after launch a count-down timer is spoken to indicate the time the motor may be running - iOS7 support and therefore a whole new design - Improved use of the volume buttons for starting the work/flight time: When the working time is not running, a press on a volume button starts the working time. After the working time has started both buttons start/stop the flight time. One does never stop the working time while in a contest. Both buttons have the same function. - F3B Support - When the remaining work time is less than the target time, the target rime will be changed accordingly. ## Apps similar to RC | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [GT World powered by SRO](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/gt-world-powered-by-sro/id980280832) | 3.2 (13) | Free | Sports | | [My SmartBike](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/my-smartbike/id1566348476) | 4.7 (569) | Free | Sports | | [LapTrophy - Track Lap Timer](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/laptrophy-track-lap-timer/id1244558686) | 4.8 (244) | Free | Sports | | [SailGP](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/sailgp/id1445011811) | 4.6 (661) | Free | Sports | | [YB Races](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/yb-races/id452193682) | 2.9 (71) | Free | Sports | | [Detroit Lions Mobile](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/detroit-lions-mobile/id560557323) | 4.8 (45,582) | Free | Sports | ## More apps by Leon Wubbe - [RC-Timer Lite](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/rc-timer-lite/id330638289) All apps by Leon Wubbe: https://appshunter.io/developer/330638292 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
