Great App!

As a high school coach, this app is great. I can run my system6 and actually coach at the same time. The kids can use it and help me out as well. It makes doing math so simple / because it does it for you. There are occasional bugs and I can’t quite figure out how to pre-log and save events - but it’s way better than using 3 stopwatches at the same time.

No information

When you tap information for assistance it is empty. I am trying to save the info to be able to email but when you stop click and leave screen everything disappears?
It has the makings of a great tool when doing test sets especially when coaching on your own with multiple kids.

PE/Sport teacher

I use it all the time when doing trials, even out of the pool. Convenient and more accurate than a phone timer. Good backup at carnivals for official timer.

Great tool!! I love this app!!

I have loved this app at my fingertips as a coach for the past 4 years!!! The only thing I’d improve is being able to see 4-6 lanes AT ONCE (so make the rows half as wide). I like to duplicate the splits every other wall so that I have both 50’s and 100’s splits. I can get 3 swimmers in a heat but once I have to scroll up and down for 3+ swimmers per heat, it gets muddled (I lose track). Otherwise, this is a fantastic tool!!!

So much potential!

This is set up to be the perfect app with just a few fixes. The stopwatch carryovers are buggy as heck and sometimes the clock is running but the stop / clear button doesn’t change resulting in Random Timing Events (RTE). There needs to be quicker access to the events list without having to click twice to get in and out. When kids come to me after their event, I need to be able to quickly look back at their splits and get the times of the current swimmers.

We need to be able to clear the swimmer names and times separately if an RTE happens. We need to be able to set up heat pages within the event to snap between lane set ups.
