Disappears
The countdown won't stay on the screen. You need to re-open it every time you want to see the time. Not handy at all !
Alarm doesn’t work when watch isn’t awake even if it’s in all ways on mode so I would like my money
Back please very disappointed
Doesn’t work when wrist is down
I’ve tried all Apple Watch Ultra 2 features however when you drop your wrist, sound and haptic no longer work. Which means the app is useless when racing. Wasted money.
Can't even install it on my watch
Doesn't show as an available app to push to the watch, and can't find it in the watch's app store.
Response from developer
This issue is solved in v5.1
Difficult to operate on the water
This would be my preferred watch regatta timer except that the small buttons at the bottom of the screen are difficult to operate, particularly when on the water. Too often I’ve been unable to start / stop the timer because I ‘miss’ the button.
If the buttons could be enlarged I’d be back on this app without hesitation.

Destroys watch battery life
With your app installed, my watch battery only lasts 12 hours. What is the app doing?? It’s not even running just installed? I have had to remove it. Needs fixing or refund please.
Very close
I was looking for a very simple count down timer for my watch and this one is it except when you hit stop at the end of your race your time disappears. It doesn’t happen if you use the phone but does on the watch. Please fix.
Fair Regatta timer with potential
Wish I could say I like this app. I use it regularly because it’s the only Apple Watch regatta time I’ve found…
Pros:
-It counts down…
-You can change the number of count down minutes
-you can sync down by minute
But, I think this is very basic.
Cons:
-The app kicks you back to the your watch Home Screen when you tap the Stop button. Very frustrating after a general recall and you find you need to restart your app while maneuvering through the fleet to back to the start line…
-lag time from when you raise you watch to look at the time and when the app “updates”.
Missing:
-lock mode? I find on occasion I’ve inadvertently touched my watch face and the app is closed…
-rolling start
-count down to a specified time (pursuit racing).
In a nut shell: it works but lacks some very basic features.

Not great.
I tried this app last weekend using my Apple Watch. When the watch screen goes blank, the time defaults back to 5 min. We were on a 3 min start so it got very frustrating.
The watch was hard to use when wet and I missed a couple of start blasts. That is not the fault of the app but worth mentioning for dinghy sailors.

Unusable on Apple Watch!
Was ready for the starting sequence and hit the start button but the App would not start the countdown timer. Tried multiple times, soft push hard push long push. Just would not start. Unusable during a race! Tried again after the race, still had a hard time to get it to start!
Does not work on iPhone 7 running iOS 13.1.2
I can’t run the App on my iPhone and watch requires the App to be set up on the iPhone, do it won’t work on my series 5 watch either. Perhaps I should have done some research...
Flakey
1. Rests to your default time each time your app goes to sleep.
2. Randomly Crashes.
3. Always asks you for your health data.

Good but...really tough to start timer
Simple regatta start timer. Needs bigger buttons on screen, actually starting the timer I find really hard. Especially as you might have slightly damp hands juggling tilers, lines and sail controls. Once it’s going no problem, very good. Haptics are great. Alarm perfect.
Muito pratico!
O melhor app pra largada de regata no Apple Watch! Depois da largada continua na contagem progressiva e registra o tempo de regata como exercício.
Really good. ALMOST fantastic.
Developer Suggestion: Please update to fix the following issue with 3 min starts.
In preparation for the first (3min) signal, I sync down to 3min and press start when the horn sounds. But if I sync down to 3min, and then lower my arm or the screen times out, when i raise my arm and wake the screen again the timer has reset to 5. Please make my chosen time stick even if the screen turns off before I hit start.
Otherwise love it. Haptics are great. Would just love that 3 min fix.

High performance dinghy watch
Since getting Apple Watch I have been looking for a timer which will stay on for the whole 5 min countdown. This is another that doesn’t allow this most basic need for a starting watch. The screen will power down with seconds to go and with your hands full doing other things you have to guess the remaining time.
Probably time to get a “proper “ watch so I don’t keep misjudging starts.

Ok as a back-up
Many things I like about app. Like the display of signal flags. Like ability to sync. On iPhones it is fairly simple. More complicated on Apple Watch. It only does count-down-count-up. Would like to see count-down-repeat (we do rolling starts, multi-fleets). Needs beeps for last five seconds of each minute. This gives a better chance to sync at even minutes. Jury still out, still learning to use app. Ok as a back-up. Three stars. Will re-evaluate at a later date. October 2018.

Should save the time after a reset, make the buttons bigger
I coach high school sailing and we do two or three minute starts. I also sail large boats with five minute sequences. It’s very frustrating to have to change back to 2-3 min after every start.
Also, if you’re not going to make a force touch action do something, disable it. It’s very hard to hit start accurately when it’s so easy to activate force touch.
Finally I am often using touchscreen capable gloves which work but the buttons are really small and very easy to miss when trying to start a sequence.
Great start, with minor improvements it could be exceptional.

Doesn’t stay on
Would be good if it didn’t turn off every time you put your wrist down !
