### 2/5 — Swim stopwatch

*2023-01-28*

Want to be able to edit times or add times

**Developer response:** Version 3.0 It is available in Italy in Apple Store. Search for it directly in Apple Store. Send me an email to stopwatchsm@gmail.com with more information, for example the device you are using (iPad, iPhone, etc), do you get any errors or similar to figure this out. Thanks for let me know.

### 3/5 — Missing features from older version

*2019-04-28*

I recently updated this app. I miss the split calculator...unless I am missing it??  I used that feature a lot and am sad to not have it. Otherwise the stopwatch function is great.

**Developer response:** Please, could you email to StopWatchSM@gmail.com providing more details about the missing feature?  I would like to understand it better to help you out.

### 4/5 — Great, missing one or 2 useful things

*2019-01-25*

I want to start by saying that this app is great and is almost exactly what I have been looking for. But when you’re clocking 100 yards in short course yards, the lowest setting is that it takes splits by 50s, I wish there was a setting where you could take splits by 25s. It should be an easy function to put in I believe

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. I think it is possible to achieve what you are looking for:  Set the Course as short course and when setting the individual event, define it with Laps at One Length of the Course.  Let me know if you have any other question at stopwatchsm@gmail.com I will be more than happy to assist.
