No export feature *2015-10-05, version 5.1* 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. ### 4/5 — Good Stop Watch *2013-10-04, version 4.0.3* 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. ### 4/5 — Much better than built-in stopwatch app *2010-01-07, version 0* For those that say this app is the same as the built-in stopwatch, that is completely wrong. The biggest thing for me is that it can store run times to review later. Another is that it beeps and vibrates when pushing the lap button for easy verification. There are several other features not in the built-in app, bug those are the two I notice the most. The only thing I don't like is that when I wear it on my armband, it's hard to see what lap I am on; but I hear they are working on an update to add in a larger lap indicator. ### 3/5 — Does what it says *2009-11-29, version 0* only thing is i didnt realise that on my 'clock' app that came with the phone is a stopwatch that would have catered for my needs without paying for one. ### 2/5 — well done, but not worth it *2009-10-10, version 0* This app is high-quality, but it does NOTHING that the built-in "Clock" app doesn't do! If you want a timer that is worth your money and can record splits/laps for multiple athletes simultaneously in a single race, go buy the app called uCoach. ### 4/5 — Good start to this app *2009-09-13, version 0* This app is definatly worth having. Few additions I would like to see are: Having a vibration feed back when the lap button is pressed. I can't hear the beep over the race cars. It would also be nice to have the email in comma delimated format for easy importing in applications ### 5/5 — Andy Love *2009-08-04, version 0* Brilliant app- simple to use and versatile. Thank you ### 4/5 — Would have been a 5 star rating, but.... *2009-07-18, version 0* This app is great for getting my split times during my Crossfit workouts, but I wish an upgrade is made for the "Lap" button. Whenever I want press the "Lap" button: the phone beeps, the "Lap" button blinks once, and the "small" stopwatch at the top right side, resets. PROBLEM: In a loud gym, the beep cannot be heard, also my finger covers the small "Lap" button, so I cannot see if it blinked, and the timer on top is too small to catch at a glance. So, what I need to do is pick up my iphone, bring it close to hear the beep and/or see the reset clock actually reset. When I'm fatigued, sweaty, and to just want to press the button and continue my workout without slowing down, I am not able to... and stopping or slowing down disrupts the workout tempo. SOLUTION: Please update this app. to where the whole screen blinks "green" or any color, when the "lap" button is pressed. This will provide a larger stimulus and I don't have to second guess to see if the "lap" button was pressed. I think that will solve the problem, and I am looking forward to re-rating this app. a perfect 5 star! ### 3/5 — Stopwatch done right!!! *2009-07-01, version 0* This app does a stopwatch like it SHOULD be done, NOT like the half-baked Apple version that comes with the iPhone! Great job, Pencil Busters! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 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. ### 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. ### 1/5 — JUNK! *2011-10-19, version 4.0.2* Keep looking if you need tents or hundredths of a second. Nothing more than a fancy counter. Not worth the $.99 ### 1/5 — OK, but needs improvement *2011-09-11, version 4.0.2* This app is OK but has some serious shortcomings. In the timer mode it is impossible to reset a saved timer, so that if you stop midway through you can't restart - you have to let it finish and then start again. The available tones are also annoying and hard to hear (I use it in a gym) - having simple loud alarm tones would be nice. ### 1/5 — Why the strobe light??? *2011-05-26, version 4.0.1* What was he point??? ### 1/5 — Free app crashes *2011-03-30, version 4.0.1* Wow, The free application crashes. No longer a free app, did the last update disable the app so that you now must pay to use. ### 1/5 — Wow *2009-09-29, version 0* Wow people There is a stopwatch on the iphone/itouch It's the same thing!!! And were paying $2 for this??????? ### 1/5 — Crashes *2009-06-30, version 0* Same issue. Was moderately stable before OS update and now crashes within 3 seconds of running. Deleted all stored times but it didn't help. App is totally useless now. ### 1/5 — Start .... and ......... Crash *2009-06-25, version 0* Should of listened to the reviewers .... crashes .... ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great stopwatch *2020-12-22, version 5.4* 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. ### 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. ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2011-10-27, version 4.0.2* 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. ### 5/5 — Great App *2011-04-06, version 4.0.1* Not sure what the negative nellies have on this. Exactly what you need if you are a Dad with a Son running track and you want to track lap and cumulative time. Vibration is nice as it lets you know the tap took. Existing app for clock is frustrating as it doesn't let you know if you hit it or not, it doesn't let you have cumulatives, and it doesn't let you save times. It's free! This app is 2 bucks and certainly worth more than a venti, but it's less. Nicely done! ### 5/5 — Just what I was looking for *2011-02-12, version 4.0.1* Love this app. I have been looking for an easy to use app with a great interface that would act as a stopwatch, take split times, but would also keep the total time and show both the total time and split time at once. This app does exactly what I want!! You can save the session and reload it later if you want, as well. I searched through a lot of other stopwatch type apps but didn't find any as good as this, in fact this is the only one I found that would do what I wanted. ### 5/5 — Happy Dad *2010-09-18, version 0* Love using this at my Sons races and having some solid stats to look at after each race. ### 5/5 — Great app for kaizen time observations *2010-08-20, version 0* Version 4.0 adds a seconds.milliseconds clock type option on this already great app. This is a valuable feature for anyone doing time observations using a “running clock” (main timer in the app) and calculating elemental times (lap timer when set to “time difference” in the settings menu). You can also send a CSV data file via e-mail to your computer to manage the information in Excel. It’s an awesome app with great user support from Pencil Busters. ### 5/5 — Ok *2010-04-09, version 0* It is ok but u already have 1 in ur clock ### 5/5 — Great *2009-08-29, version 0* I love this stopwatch it is accurate and everything! It us even accurate enough to time sprints! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
