### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2026-04-07*

I’ve had the 5 minute sailing countdown running on my watch now for over half an hour and I still haven’t reached the point to start the race! 
A waste of £1.50 🤣

**Developer response:** I'm really sorry that you have been having these problems with my app. I have just submitted these updates for review with Apple: 
"Version 3.0 includes:
• Fully improved Bluetooth audio reliability;
• Fixes to the new Apple Watch companion app for quick starts and final call-outs." 

"Version 3.1 includes:
1. Countdown audio continues through a paired Bluetooth speaker or headphones while the Watch countdown is running.
2. Note at the end of the "description" to clarify expectations with regard to use of this app through an Apple Watch."

I very much hope that this update will sort the issues you have been having. Just go to the App Store and reload the new version when it appears. This will be version 3.1 or higher. Please let me know if you are having any further problems and I will do my best to resolve them for you. Again, please accept my apologies.

### 1/5 — App stops all the time

App is not working. It will stop and you have to restart. Don’t waste your time.

### 5/5 — Perfect for racing!

*2026-05-24*

I love the update! Voice choices and Bluetooth works perfectly.

### 5/5 — Great value for money

*2026-05-13*

Simple to use; works well on my phone and with Bluetooth; perfect for starting races for dinghies or model yachts (or anything else that needs a measured countdown)

### 5/5 — Simply super

*2026-05-13*

Very straightforward and easy to use, this app achieves exactly what it sets out to do. Many thanks!
