Big Tap Display Stopwatch makes it effortless to start and stop the stopwatch by tapping any part of the screen. With both Landscape and Portrait displays it is easy to see the Time easily in large clear font. Fully customizable display with 6 Background Colors, 6 Text Colors and 4 available Fonts. App Features - Large Landscape and Portrait Displays - Saves Previous Times - 4 Different Fonts - 6 Background Colors - 6 Text Colors - Just Tap the Screen to Start/Stop the Stopwatch - Prevent the Screen from Locking while App is Open - Can Force App to Stay in Landscape Mode (except on iPad) This App was developed as an easy way to Start and Stop a stopwatch without having to look at the screen, because the buttons never move if in Portrait or Landscape. We also wanted to stop the device from being auto-locked, which would stop you from starting or stopping the clock.
