### 4/5 — Nice and simple

*2025-08-17*

Good starting timer for an ILCA, no compass or GPS usage, just a countdown. Haptics could be better, the single haptic tap does not stand out that well. Would love a voice alert at 1 minute, 10 seconds and 5,4,3,2,1. But app is simple and reliable as is.

**Developer response:** Update June 2026: In the latest update voice alerts at every minute and at 45 seconds, 30 seconds, 20 seconds, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 and Go! added

Thanks for your review and real world feedback! I will try to implement a voice alert too. I focused on low battery usage but it makes sense to add voice. Especially for dinghy racing 🤙
