### 1/5 — No sound. Useless

*2025-10-01*

There‘s no voice, so the app seems to no longer work with iOS 26 or even lower.

### 5/5 — アップルウォッチに対応して

*2023-09-26*

有料で良いのでアップルウォッチで使いたいです。

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2023-08-04*

I see that the app haven’t been updated in 8 years (it’s currently 2023). That should have been my first clue. The app doesn’t work, I tried multiple times. Every time when I went to take my phone out of my pocket after doing a start, it was on some random app download screen lol. Too bad, would have been great if it worked.

### 4/5 — とっても重宝してます。

*2023-04-23*

1人の練習でもSDができる優れもの。リアクションも見れるので素晴らしい。

【要望】
Marksの前に空白の時間を作ってくれるとありがたいです。
Marks-setの時間を長くすればいいのですが、1人だとその前の時間もあると最高です。

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2021-08-29*

Very simple app for starting races in training runs

### 4/5 — An outstanding tool for block starts!

*2020-07-09*

Works well to monitor start technique and assess/compare each block release.

### 4/5 — Sprint start

*2020-07-09*

Would be better if times were recorded. If you are not quick enough to get back to the blocks you miss your times. App has been a favourite of my junior sprinters

### 5/5 — It works

*2019-04-09*

Pretty neat

### 1/5 — No updates. Bugs.

*2018-12-12*

Purchased the updated version to use the camera interface. The app won’t even ask me to allow the use of the camera. So I went ahead into the privacy -> camera -> and start meter isn’t even listed in the app section. There is a bug here he hasn’t fixed in years. Hopefully the developer will get back to me or I will need my $$ back.

### 2/5 — Audio

*2018-07-12*

Wie spricht die App zu mir? Gibt keinen Ton!
