It’s the best one I have found so far. However, the sort individuals function isn’t working and I can’t add relay teams ahead of time. When creating teams I am not allowed to change the gender or event either. I would appreciate it so much if you could fix those issues! ### 4/5 — Great Stopwatch *2021-04-12* Overall, this is a great timer. There’s a few things that bug me such as the screen timing out during the app (should stay on if a race is going on), the sorting feature not working, and the lack of a dark mode. And for some reason, the app relies on the email feature to use the default Mail app? A few apps have a feature where you can undo the stop, I wish this had that too. A few nuances here and there but overall I would recommend this app. This app is far, far better than any other stop watch app. It doesn’t try to be fancy with graphics: it try’s to be simple which is exactly what I want. All we need is a start, stop, and lap button with history. Enough said! ### 4/5 — Great app for distance squad *2019-05-03* After taking splits for our boys and girls distance squads and sending the results to the rest of the coaches, I’ve become a hero. We all love to be able to review splits from our team’s longer races and relays and share them with the runners to help them improve. Being able to set up ‘teams’ ahead of time for given events is helpful. It would be nice to switch the DMR from collegiate to HS order, but I simply used the open distance option and made that work. If some graphic analysis could be added, that would make it a 5 star app that I’d pay more for. ### 5/5 — Must for Any Track Coach *2018-04-25* I LOVE this app and have been using it for years. I coach track, and this app keeps up with the splits for all my runners' individual races, relays, and saves them by name, event, and date. I recommend it to other coaches all the time, and I am glad to not have the stress of doing the constant quick math in my head throughout a race. ### 3/5 — Great...but, *2018-03-17* I have liked this app except for one thing. It organizes the runners in each race alphabetically rather than reordering them by place in the race. It makes it difficult scrolling up and down to find athletes. It would make much more sense for them to be moved to the top once they have completed their lap so that the ones who haven’t come by yet are all together, making them easier to find, thus getting more accurate splits. **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. I just released a new version which includes the feature you requested!. To enable this feature go to Info->Sort Individual+ tab. ### 5/5 — Best track timing app out there *2018-01-29* I have tried many apps for track and field timing. As a distance coach, this app stands out from the rest. Especially great for capturing laps of multiple kids in the same race. Also works great for relays. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Great app! *2016-05-16* Just a parent of a runner, but I love the app and now have multiple guys (and parents) from the team finding me after each relay to see their splits. Great to be able to look back easily to compare progress over the course of the season. Really appreciate the multiple individuals timing option also. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2015-11-28, version 3.01* I have the iPhone 6 Plus... and this app works wonderful with it. I'm athlete and I use it to track my paces and keep a good pace. Thank you so much! ### 5/5 — ベリーグッド *2015-05-22* おけ ### 4/5 — Great app *2015-05-04* Really like this app especially projected times and having the ability to send out results. Seems to draw down battery as it has brought me from 60% to 0 on my iPhone 6 during course of high school meet. I now I make sure I start a meet fully charged. Overall very happy though. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Useless app *2024-01-31, version 4.0* I bought this to time multiple runners in heats but alas it seems impossible to do this unless i’m missing something. You can time individuals or relays, not groups of runners. Waste of $1.99. ### 1/5 — Needs to have field events added. Useless for me as a coach. *2021-04-01, version 4.0* As a coach, I am looking for an “all in one” app to record the entire meet, including field events. ### 1/5 — Not easy to use *2021-03-09, version 4.0* Pros: Cons: *Difficult to switch between events and add stored athletes. If you are working a track meet there is not enough time to switch between runners *The relays are very easy to miss results - I timed correctly but then it didn’t save results and splits *Cannot change teams from being male *cannot easily and effectively change between events ### 1/5 — Shittiest timing app ever. *2019-08-31, version 4.0* Had an uphill 5k time trial for my team. Took all the times for ten runners. App deleted it. Would have been better off using my spatchcock. Shittiest timing app ever. ### 1/5 — Track and Field App *2014-05-24, version 2.32* Waste of .99 cent!!! I honestly wouldn't give them no stars but I had to give them at least 1 ### 3/5 — I wish you could add your own event *2023-10-07, version 4.0* I enjoy this app, but I do wish that you could add your own event. Texas has strange events like the 1.5 mile and it’s not possible to time the athletes in this event. ### 3/5 — Must all start at once *2021-02-04, version 4.0* This app is great for races but impractical for practice where you have athletes starting at different times ### 3/5 — It’s okay *2019-10-20, version 4.0* It’s ok. Why don’t you have a sign in and out option? ### 3/5 — Suggestions *2018-04-09, version 3.50* App is good but wish you could start and stop/take splits by using the volume button ### 3/5 — Great but... *2018-03-31* I had previously rated this app as 5 stars because it's truly the most thoughtful and innovative stopwatch available. However, the volume buttons aren't used for start/lap//reset. The location of the lap and stop buttons make it nearly impossible to watch an athlete and hit a button at the same time. So, great app but not usable for me. **Developer response:** The volume buttons were used in previous versions of this application, however Apple requested me to disable this functionality because it was against their policies (otherwise they would take the application out of the Apple Store). In fact, it was out of the store for a few months because I concur 100% with you that this feature was key. After receiving several emails from people asking for the app, I decided to put it back in the store. Sorry for the inconvenience. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2026-04-04, version 5.0.2* This app checks all the boxes in track ### 5/5 — Great app for track coach *2026-04-03, version 5.0.2* Great for relays and races with multiple athletes running the same race. Allows for quick constructive feedback to athletes. ### 5/5 — CALLING TRACK COACHES *2025-05-21, version 4.0.4* If you are a track coach at any level, this is the “GO TO” app! Don’t mess with stopwatches anymore and use this app instead! ### 5/5 — It’s good, but it has some issues *2024-04-09* Overall, this app works well. I’ve been using it for the most part without issue. A few items were not as intuitive as they should’ve been but use the help. It’s pretty straightforward developer is very responsive. Thanks a lot. ### 5/5 — Better than anything else *2023-03-19* No traditional handheld stopwatch can time multiple kids in a race, organize and store results the way this app can. ### 5/5 — Missing something *2019-03-07, version 4.0* Would be better if you could add field events that way I could post their different attempts just like I can for splits. ### 5/5 — Best Track and Field Timer *2018-05-10* This App is excellent! I have been using it for years and highly recommend it for coaches. I had gone through several other stopwatches to get times and splits and I have never found one in the same class as stopwatch tf. Had this rated at 5 stars, but have gone down to 3 after missing several race starts with the small start button tucked away in the corner. I am once again raising my rating, although the volume buttons are still disabled the larger buttons added to the screen work much better. The developer is very responsive to issues. **Developer response:** Based on your suggestion, I have released a new version which includes bigger buttons for all modules. I appreciate your feedback. Thanks. ### 5/5 — Stellar *2018-05-09* I can’t say enough good things about this app. I love being able to enter names of athletes, get accurate splits, and refer back to clear displays of who ran which leg and what their splits were. Thanks for developing and continuing to update this app! The new redesign makes it even better! ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2018-05-09* I began this track season by finding that my stopwatch was broken. I spent some time looking at getting a new one and planning to spend $30+. I typically hate to pay for apps, but I couldn’t be happier with this one. It is very user friendly it is regularly being updated with features that I didn’t know I wanted. Don’t hesitate with buying this app. ### 5/5 — Great for Track Coaches *2018-04-28* Finally an app that does everything a track coach could need! Totally worth the $1.99 investment! If you’re a track coach and you’re looking for the right app (especially for relays) then get this one. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
