### 3/5 — すごく良い機能だけど、、

*2026-01-24, version 1.2*

陸上をやってる子供の撮影にストップウォッチは凄く嬉しい機能なんですが、競技場などではかなりズームして撮影するので手ブレが酷く、通常のカメラアプリの方が見返しやすい。
手ブレ補正機能を付けて欲しいです。

### 4/5 — Good app can be great

*2025-11-07, version 1.2*

App works great so far. Only thing I would like is if lap and split times would stay on screen.

### 4/5 — 5 stars if i could…..

*2025-11-03, version 1.2*

five stars if I could get the stopwatch to stay locked at the top of the screen, if I wanted it to.

Also needs a lock mode so you can’t accidently hit the stop button.

### 4/5 — 田徑終㸃及計時裁判必備之軟件

*2025-04-22, version 1.2*

在田徑比賽中,  這個軟件可代替整隊終㸃裁判及整隊計時隊的工作，而且非常準確.

### 3/5 — 不具合がある

*2024-06-11, version 1.2*

タイマーが反転して読みづらいです。

### 4/5 — 計測

*2024-06-10, version 1.2*

距離を計測できる機能が欲しい

### 4/5 — すごくいいアプリだと思う！

*2024-06-02, version 1.2*

動画と一緒にタイムを測れるのはすごくいいと思いました！走ってる時のタイムもわかって便利！今もすごくいいんだけど、すでに撮ってある動画を再生して、それのタイムを測ることができる機能も出来たら欲しいかもしれないです！

### 3/5 — Decent but could be better

*2024-05-05*

This would be great if you could adjust via slider for the start time so that it coincided with motion in order to better calculate the overall time interval.

### 3/5 — Potential

*2024-04-17*

I use to track my son’s laps during track. Works well most of the time but I would like to see a couple improvements. I would like to see an option to leave all the lap and split times on screen while recording. Rewatching the whole video to find lap times can be time consuming. Once in a while I also have saving issues which means he can’t review it later. Overall I still use it because it has a lot of potential.

### 3/5 — Improvement

*2023-10-19*

I can tell there have been improvements the last time I checked this app out. Some issues I am still having are the stopwatch resetting when I hit the setting button while recording. 
Also, I think the recording has been stoping when the app runs in the background of my phone. It’s hard to tell when I open the app back up if I’m still recording.

### 3/5 — 機能追加希望

*2023-10-19, version 1.2*

トレーニングで使ってます。
ぶら下がるトレーニングで何秒ぶら下がれるかを測って記録しています。
ただら誰かにストップウォッチを押してもらわなければ計測できないので、自分1人では出来ません。
カウントダウンで音がなって5秒後にストップウォッチがスタートする機能があれば便利だなーと思いました。
ぜひ機能追加してほしいです！！
よろしくお願いします。

### 2/5 — 画面の向き

*2023-09-01, version 1.2*

起動すると映像が90度倒れて表示されるのだが、なぜだろうか。
縦横が狂っている。
改善法があれば教えてほしい。

### 3/5 — スプリットタイムの記録

*2023-08-13, version 1.2*

画面上にスプリットタイム（ラップタイム）の履歴を表示してほしい。
