I had paid for another one, but it was no longer supported. This works really well with an iPad. Full of features required to document the athlete’s performance. Kudos ### 5/5 — Gut für Sportlehrer *2021-03-01* Ich setze die Uhr für den 5000m Lauf als auch für den Cooper-Test ein. Wäre gut, wenn man mit dem Adressbuch Schülerlisten importieren könnte. **Developer response:** Sie können eine Schülerliste unter People>All People>Edit>Add New People hinzufügen und dann eine Liste mit Namen (mit optionalen E-Mails) einfügen. (Verzeih mein "Google-translate" Deutsch) ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2019-11-02* Best ever!! ### 5/5 — Finally!! *2019-10-21* This is a great app to use when keeping track of a class running laps on the track. As a PE teacher of 13 years I have dotted hands, given out popsicle sticks, and dotted small pieces of scrap paper just to keep track of laps and times. Now I can keep track of splits, email the results straight to my computer and have the run graded before my next period class begins! Big high 5 to the developer of this software! ### 5/5 — It does it all! Amazing! *2019-04-22* While at first it may appear rather ordinary and a little bit odd looking and odd sounding, once you get to know the app, it’s probably the most useful timing program ever! I’ve been running for 30 years and coaching for 25 years and seen and owned all sorts of timing apps and equipment and this little app can do everything! Until I knew its inner workings, it just seemed ordinary. It is far from that! It keeps track of lifetime achievements for all athletes under their profiles, allows for the addition of splits on the fly or split corrections if coach fat-fingers the wrong key. You can add athlete pictures, view performance charts, name each workout, add custom distances for the program to chart your athletes’ performances. I simply cannot rave about it enough. You can start and stop all athletes at once. You can add athletes on the fly during your current timing session. You can have multiple workouts being timed at once. Coaches, trust me when I say that this is the essential app for tracking our distance runners and is 100 times better than any stopwatch or combination of apps. I use it to time both races and workouts. I coach middle school, high school, college and Masters. Spend some time getting to know it, mess around with it and you’ll see what I’m talking about. Thank you so much for this app! I’ve been searching for years and finally found one that’s noteworthy! ### 5/5 — Klasse *2019-03-30* Hochprofessionell, wenn auch nicht immer schön anzusehen. 😜 Aber die 5 Sterne gibt es schon alleine für die Bedienung per Lautstärketasten!! 👍 Diese Funktionalität bei gesperrtem Gerät wäre allerdings noch besser, um ungewollte Fehlbedienung zu vermeiden. ### 5/5 — Weiß die App nicht gebe müsste man sie erfinden *2019-01-24* Diese App erleichtert mir das Training so ungemein. Statt mehrere Uhren um den Hals können nun alle Athleten vollständig überprüft werden. Da ich Mittel- und Langstreckler sowie Geher in meiner Gruppe habe, war das Stoppen bisher so gut wie gar nicht möglich sondern die Athleten stoppen sich selbstständig. Jetzt kann ich alle gleichzeitig im Blick haben und Dank der Zeiten viel besser steuern. Die Uhr lässt beliebige Anzahl an Athleten oder Gruppen einrichten die getrennt von eines der gestartet oder die Rundenzeit genommen werden. Ich sehe immer direkt die Zeit der letzten Runde sowie die Zeit der aktuellen Runde. Vielen Dank an den Entwickler! ### 5/5 — Very good! *2019-01-06, version 2.6.2* I’m very happy with this app and it’s very useful when I am timing my kids. I recommend this app to any coach it’s very useful. ### 5/5 — Great application for multiple races *2018-11-14* We recently held an obstacle course race with races starting every half hour. This was excellent for tracking runners as skill levels varies greatly. Adding the runners photo a big plus. Had a small issue trying to find the correct process for our needs. Sent a message on a Sunday night for help and was pleasantly surprised to receive our answer within minutes! ### 5/5 — Perfect!!! *2018-10-06* This is perfect for XC or track. Would love to be able to customize distance. **Developer response:** Thank you! In Settings>RaceTypes>Edit, you can create your own race types, including distance. ### 5/5 — Für Trainer ideal *2018-10-03* Endlich eine App mit der ich mehrere Athleten in mehreren Rennen gleichzeitig stoppen kann! Für Intervalltrainings ermöglicht die Intervall-Funktion jeden Athlet einzeln zu stoppen, die Gruppe aber wieder gemeinsam mit ihnen Klick zu starten. Trotz der vielen Funktionen einfach zu bedienen! ### 4/5 — Can we get some cloud space *2018-09-17* Love this app but would like to see a cloud space to be able to move between my devices and maybe even share between staff members! ### 5/5 — für mich die beste multi-Stoppuhr *2018-04-01* hab mir viele Multi-Stoppuhren angesehen-diese kann ich wirklich empfehlen - für mich die beste. Übersichtlich, schnell zu bedienen über die Lautstärketasten, alle notwenigen Layouts und Funktionen zum Stoppen von mehreren Athleten - fast alle...mir würde ein Button für Zwischenzeiten für alle Athleten helfen.("lap all" zusätzlich zu "stop all") ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2018-02-07* The app is perfect! PLEASE GO FOR AN APPLE WATCH APP!! I would pay good money for it! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Nooooo! *2016-03-25, version 2.0.0* This program has been exceptional until today. I just updated the app and it crashed! I use this app every week for my students' 1-mile run. Please get this back on track! ### 2/5 — As I fed back last time ….Buttons too small & easy to miss *2026-06-19* As I fed back last time … Make the lap button larger … x2 length **Developer response:** Thank you for the suggestion, but I need your help: So if you go to Settings>Watch Layout, you'll see all kinds of different watch “faces”, some with photos, some without, and with many different size buttons to allow more or less information and/or watches on the screen at once. Which face(s) would you suggest would be better with a bigger button? ### 2/5 — Not working in background *2015-01-20* The app does not work in the background, constantly resets the data. Please fix it. ### 2/5 — Good basic functionality, but buggy *2014-09-04, version 1.1* I'd love to remove the ads, but the UI keep crashing ### 3/5 — Buttons too small & easy to miss *2024-01-30, version 2.8.2* Make the lap button larger … x2 length ### 3/5 — Battery *2019-04-05* Love the app, but it drains battery like crazy! **Developer response:** Depending on how many watches you have, that can certainly be true. It’s primarily due to the display being on for long periods and the constant updating of the text. Note that it’s not due to the timekeeping itself. You can even leave the app or lock the screen, and it will still keep perfect time. A couple of tips: • If you change the update time to 1 second (v 1/10 or 1/100), that will significantly reduce the energy consumption. This won’t affect the precision of the recorded times, only the current display. • if you turn the screen off, go to another page or even leave the app, then the updating energy cost becomes zero. The app’s default is to keep the screen on during a race, but you can change that to allow the normal timeout. This can help in longer races where you don’t need to see the results all the time. • And as always, just reducing the screen brightness will also reduce energy use significantly. ### 3/5 — It's alright *2016-04-23, version 2.0.2* I really need a stop watch that can do time trials. I want to put a list of racers in and when each racer starts, start their timer, and when they finish that time is recorded. Then they go for their second run and it starts from 0 again, and not where the clock left off. A timer for multi run downhill races! ### 4/5 — Great app *2024-10-08* I love this app saves Me a ton of time ### 4/5 — Great xc app *2024-09-06* Once it’s set up and you’re used to it, the app is great. Helps with splits in races and workouts. ### 4/5 — Great app *2023-10-22* I love this app saves Me a ton of time ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app to time time trials *2026-06-20* Fantastic product for timing individual starts and easy to use. I use it for rowing time trials ### 5/5 — I love this app! *2026-06-09* Great stopwatch! I can manage multiple swimmers laps at a time, easily set up practice groups, export time trials, etc. ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-02-04* It's really nice when people just do what they're doing and they do it good. ### 5/5 — Awesome for all track & field and cross country events *2024-05-11* Great product!!! Makes keeping track of workouts and races so much easier!! Great tool!!! ### 5/5 — Awesome for all track & field and cross country events *2023-12-29* Great product!!! Makes keeping track of workouts and races so much easier!! Great tool!!! ### 5/5 — THE best stopwatch ever designed *2023-12-10* Love Ultimate Stopwatch so much I got a new iPhone instead of a galaxy, when my phone needed replacing, just to keep using it. Keep up the great work!! ### 5/5 — Game Changer *2023-01-28* This is the most helpful tool I’ve added to my coaching belt. There’s no way I could back to just a stopwatch now. Practice with it then go to meets and practices with confidence! ### 5/5 — Simple to use and very powerful *2022-01-15* I have been using this stop watch to track my swimmers times. It calculates the splits and saves the results. It even graphs the historical data. The only feature that I wish it had is to be able to import the data from multiple devices. ### 5/5 — Extremely Valuable Coaching Tool *2021-10-24* As a cross country and track coach, I use this app daily and it’s a life saver. I looked for the perfect handheld stopwatch and spent $70 on one that can keep 3 watches at a time and not in a streamlined way. This app is so much better than an old school stop watch when you’re time multiple people both in a race setting and practice setting. **Developer response:** Thank you for your kind words. I originally built the app when I saw my son’s PE teacher try and track 8 classes of 20 kids do their physical testing with a clipboard and a stopwatch. Glad it works for you! ### 5/5 — Used for rowing head race *2021-09-20* We had close to 70 entrants in our 5k rowing race. Boats go off in age group events, every 15 seconds. This worked perfectly! It would be awesome, though, if 5 users could split the duties between start and finish so that we wouldn’t have to be pushing start and stop simultaneously for different races starting and finishing at the same time. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
