User reviews

Perfect For Model Yacht Racing

I have been picking through the various sailing racing apps, looking for a simple countdown clock that we can use when the club clock is not available. This one fits the bill very nicely. It is simple to use, free, and does not offer a lot of extra features. I can pair it with a Bluetooth speaker to count down our races when the club countdown clock is not available. Two thumbs up!
