The app is very useful, but in the field, the English UI can make immediate understanding difficult and cause delays in operation. For safer and faster decisions, could you consider adding Korean (Hangul) support? It would be especially helpful to have Korean labels for the following terms. Could you also consider introducing a lifetime license (one-time purchase)? Because referees use the app repeatedly over a long period, a one-time option would reduce the burden of subscription management and help ensure reliable use in the field. If possible, please let me know the expected pricing and whether future updates would be included. If needed, I would be happy to help with translation review or beta testing. Thank you for developing a great app, and I appreciate your positive consideration. **Developer response:** Hi, thank you very much for your kind feedback and for using the app in your matches - I really appreciate it! I’m happy to let you know that Korean support will be included in the upcoming update, so you’ll soon be able to use the app fully in your language. Regarding your request for a lifetime license: at the moment this is not planned. Since the app is continuously improved with new features and updates, the yearly subscription ensures we can keep developing and maintaining it at a high level. This way, referees like you benefit from ongoing enhancements and reliable support during matches. Thank you again for your trust and support. I’m excited to bring you the next update with Korean support very soon! ### 3/5 — Fehlende Vibration *2025-05-11, version 2.40* Hallo. Die App ist sehr schön, mir fehlt nur eine Funktion die besser funktionieren sollte. Damit ich die App für Spiele nutzen kann. Die Vibration bei den enden von den Perioden ist mir zu wenig. Möchte eine dauerhafte Vibration haben bis ich sie selbst beende. Bekomme sonst nicht im Spiel mit wann die Einzelnen Perioden vorbei sind. Bei anderen Schiri App gibt es schon so eine Funktion. ### 4/5 — Komplikation auf Zifferblatt geht nicht mehr *2025-03-20* Bei der Series 10 wird die Komplikation auf dem Watchface nur noch als grünes Quadrat dargestellt. Bitte beheben. Zudem ist mir nicht ganz klar, welche Funktionen ich als ehemaliger (einmalig bezahlender) Premium-User dazu bekäme, wenn ich auf jährliche (in meinen Augen krass kostenintensive) Zahlung upgraden würde. Aber solange man alles Grundlegende weiterhin ohne Einschränkungen nutzen kann, bin ich happy. :) **Developer response:** Hallo John, danke für den Hinweis! Das Problem sollte im nächsten Update behoben sein. Als Langzeitnutzer kannst du weiterhin die App im Basis-Umfang nutzen (Spiele aufzeichnen, Vorlagen verwalten, etc.). Für die Statistiken und Spielanalysen ist ein Abo erforderlich. ### 1/5 — Umstellung auf Abo 👎🏼 *2025-01-29, version 2.34* Bislang fand ich die App wirklich gut, benutze diese bereits seit etwa fünf Jahren. Nach der jetzigen Umstellung auf ein Abosystem, steht dies für mich aber nicht mehr im Verhältnis. Werde einen anderen Anbieter suchen. ### 1/5 — Downgrade statt Update *2025-01-26, version 2.34* Seit dem letzten Update ist trotz einmalkauf vor 4 Jahren nurnoch der halbe gewohnte Funktionsumfang nutzbar. 6 setzen. ### 4/5 — Purchase restore not working *2024-12-29, version 2.31* I have the app updated and I did the purchase restore, and it even says that it’s been restored, but it doesn’t work. It still says to restore, and it’s not saving matches. ### 1/5 — Enttäuscht *2024-12-27, version 2.31* Ich bib Early Supporter der App als sie früher rausgekommen ist und hatte einmalig 3€ bezahlt und alle Funktionen. Nach der Umstellung durfte ich eine Zeitlang die Premium Version nutzen. Nun soll ich den Vollpreis als Abonnement zahlen und kriege nichtmal ein Angebot; ernsthaft!? Werde mir eine Alternative suchen, schade das es soweit kommen musste ### 5/5 — Simple is better *2024-11-13* Ver. 2.24. everything works properly but I can’t save the match. It simply says there was an error saving it but it doesn’t say what the error is. Ver. 2.3 Update: thank you! Everything is working and the new look on the watch appears to be nice. That fix was FAST and greatly appreciated. I’ll have 3-4 matches this weekend during a playoff tournament and I’ll update my review afterwards. **Developer response:** Hi LSSR22, please Update your App to version 2.3 to solve the problem. ——— Thank you for your honest feedback! That's exactly the idea behind the app. Simple timekeeping with statistics on athletic activity. We are currently working on a new, improved version, with new features. Coming later this year. Stay tuned! ### 1/5 — Question *2024-05-12* When I enter the matches, the app turns off. ## Frequently asked questions about Referee Watch PRO ### What does Referee Watch PRO do?
