Brilliant

This app is horological bliss. Very clever to star timing and THEN fuss with settings. On top of that, it's a very polished app. Three things I wish this had: 1) I really want it to just start timing as soon as I tap the complication on my Apple Watch. I don't want to double tap and starting timing as fast as possible would be aligned with this app's purpose. 2) I wish I could scroll the crown of Apple Watch to adjust the timer. So like scroll to add minutes or fast scroll to add hours. That could work really well. 3) Instead of only letting me specify number of minutes for the timer, I want to specify a time and have it calculate the timer for me. So imagine if I could just scroll the crown and it displayed the minutes/hours of the timer and also the hour/minute when the timer will end. That would be extremely useful.

Amazing stopwatch

Better then Apple’s stopwatch because it lets you set the start time and make multiple stopwatches at once. Great app!

Best stopwatch app ever made. Simple to use, with every feature you could possibly want.

StartWatch does everything I could ever possibly want from a stopwatch app. I wish iOS had all of these features built-in.

I’m very grateful that the developer didn’t put the app behind a monthly subscription like most of the developers on the App Store these days. Just a cheap one-time-payment and you own the app (and all of its features) forever. The way it should be. Not charging $20 a month to access all the features.

I absolutely recommend StartWatch to anyone wishing to get more out of their phones stopwatch. Please support this amazing developer!
