## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Do NOT buy

*2026-03-22*

Paid the one time fee and I open up app and it does nothing

### 1/5 — Swipe not working

*2025-07-22*

Just downloaded this app for the upcoming season because of the positive reviews.  The swipe function to activate the 25/40 second clock does not work. Is there a timeline to get this functionality fixed?

### 1/5 — Für Series 10 ungeeignet

*2025-04-07*

Auf der Series 10 nicht mehr verwendbar für 25/40 Sek Playclock. 
Wenn der Fehler gefixt wird, 5 Sterne, so einfach nur blöd

### 1/5 — App is Bricked

*2024-10-10*

Cannot use because Force Touch has been disabled in the app. It’s been like this for a couple of days (maybe longer?). Without that capability, the app can literally not be used.

### 1/5 — Broken

*2024-10-03*

This app is broken. There is no way to start the game due to the discontinuation of Force Touch.

### 1/5 — Apple Watch 10 & Ultra 2

*2024-09-29*

Turns out Force Touch doesn’t work anymore. Tried and both watches

### 1/5 — Not Reliable (requesting refund)

*2023-11-14*

(Using Apple Ultra 2 with cellular)

Great concept, but too many bugs to use in game.

- Both clocks pause when I receive any type of notification (text, call, other apps, etc.)
- Game clock pauses when play clock hits selected vibration intervals at 15, 10, etc. seconds. (Does this about 50% of the time)
- When the above occurs with game clock pause, the play clock also pauses on screen, but still vibrates at selected intervals.
- Not a bug, but I would like the vibration to be stronger and/or adjust the haptics.

I tested it from the comfort of my couch. I will be requesting a refund, as it's no where near reliable enough to use in game.

### 1/5 — Extremely basic and not worth the money

*2021-10-05*

There is a much cheaper option. Just use your Apple clock app. It’s basically the same thing and you’ll save yourself the $6. There is no instructions. There is no play clock settings. It’s a complete waste of money.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2021-09-05*

I downloaded the app and it never opened/worked.

### 3/5 — Great idea but has bugs

*2025-08-18*

As mentioned, the crown update for resetting the 40/25 is not working, but swiping up/down also isn’t working. The only timing function currently working is double-tap to start/stop the game clock.

## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Thank you for the update!!!

*2024-10-29*

Thank you for the update so we can all continue to use your great football timing app!!!

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2019-09-05*

This app is awesome.  It is so simple to use and that is what makes it so powerful.  Not hard to figure out and easy to use. I highly recommend this app to all positions.

### 5/5 — Great value

*2019-08-22*

Really can’t argue when the boxes for this are $70+, and I’m already wearing my Apple Watch throughout the game, anyway. Swiping makes it much easier to keep my eyes on the game and not on my wrist.

### 4/5 — Good app

*2024-10-13*

This is a good app, but recently it does work. It say I need to do a hard reset but Apple has remove the reset. Is this going to be fixed?

### 4/5 — Love it but update may have broke it

*2024-09-21*

I use this app religiously as a back judge. It’s terrific and functions perfectly however, there needs to be another way to start games. As I understand it, Apple disabled Force Touch with the new iPhone update and that is how you access the game start menu. Hopefully it can get an update to fix that

### 4/5 — Very useful but hours

*2021-09-18*

Very useful but could the game time numbers be larger by doing away with the hours? Or could they be optional?

### 4/5 — Under 5 on play clock

*2019-10-31*

Would like to see a vibration every second on the last 5

**Developer response:** I hope to make some updates after this season. I was concerned with making too many changes in-season for reasons of user experience and the stability of the app. If you have other additions or suggestions, please let me know.

### 3/5 — Add Time Out Swipe

*2024-09-15*

Would be nearly perfect if there was an option added for a left or right swipe for a timeout. Please add!!
