Does not work

There are no instructions to explain how to change the preset times. If times can not be customized, it is not useful. How does a user find out what the preset times are? $2.99 for what?

Response from developer

The presets are clearly on the screen. If you press 3-5, for example, it'll show green on 3, amber on 4, red on 5. The instructions also say "scroll to set lights timings" which you can also just scroll on each light to the desired timing. On the screen, it says "+" to add contestants so if you tapped on the "+" at the top right corner, it creates a new contestant.
