### 5/5 — Great stopwatch

*2020-12-22*

Been using this for several years in my job as engineer.  Great to be able to run many splits, type in notes about certain split times, then export all the results to a CSV for data crunching in Excel.

### 1/5 — Just a stopwatch

*2017-02-19, version 5.2*

Wasted my money it's just a stop watch that you can get for free.

### 5/5 — One Hour and 3000/6000 Postal Swims

*2015-11-14, version 5.2*

This is a great app for doing the Postal One Hour and 3000/6000 swims. Under tools you can send/ share your results. It's hard to find in the App Store. Remember it's from Pencil Busters.

### 5/5 — Great stopwatch - timed 1,300 runners

*2015-11-01, version 5.1*

Great stopwatch guys. We used it today to time a race with over 1,300 runners. Used the split times to time runners when crossing the finish, emailed the results and then merged the times with recorded race numbers in a spreadsheet. Worked brilliantly. Like the function that stores the results even if you make a mistake.

### 4/5 — Works well. No export feature

*2015-10-05*

Haven't used it in an actual race, but it seems to work well. You can delete lap times that's really nice. I wish it had a way to export the data then it would really be useful.

### 1/5 — stopped working

*2014-09-27, version 4.0.3*

stopped working with IOS 8. Crashes whenever I hit lap or reset. I tried deleting and reinstalling.

### 4/5 — Good Stop Watch

*2013-10-04*

We have been using this as a backup timing device for bike races. Easy to use. One small request. It would be super helpful if there was a way to temporarily disable "Stop" so that a person does not hit the button by mistake. Otherwise a very handy app. Thanks!

### 2/5 — Disappointed

*2013-07-31, version 4.0.3*

What kind of timer does not come with a seconds setting? The lowest measurement is minutes? Unacceptable.

### 1/5 — Not worth $.99

*2011-12-31, version 4.0.2*

Doesn't do anything the free clock that comes with your phone won't do. Timer won't go down to seconds, only minutes. I can use my microwave for that. This app is less than mediocre masked by fancy formatting.

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2011-10-27*

This app works awesome! Accuracy is fantastic. Works great for splits. And I like that you can plug it into iTunes to get the data off for those times when you don't have cell service.
