Great app

This is a really easy to use app and could be the best app I’ve used on the watch. The best thing is that the countdown is always shown. Not so on other apps where the display stops if your wrist doesn’t move and when you glance down you see the wrong time, not so with this app, time is always there to be seen correctly.
The voice countdown in the last min is great but would love the option to have voice alerts in the other mins too. Would be fantastic to be able to export the track off the watch. Would also be great if it record session into health or work out so the data of each race was retained. Oh and sometimes if the race is long (hours) it only shows the hours as that’s all that fits on the screen.

Works well.

But disappeared from my watch and phone incompatible?

Where is the app????

Purchased but where is the app? Can’t download

Battery parasite

Never get to actually use the app. I tested on land and discover there is no way to turn the program off. It stay on all the time using GPS and draining the battery. Have turn the Apple Watch off completely to get get it to stop. Waste of money and time. Completely worthless.

Response from developer

Open the app drawer and swipe the app to kill it. Enabling GPS in the background is essential for the app to work. The app is free, so no money wasted.

A great app as standby/secondary on a big boat, or primary for single hander

Used during a regatta when the prime boat compute was misbehaving. And then used extensively since then as it’s such good simple feedback.
