Big Tap Display Stopwatch makes it effortless to start and stop the stopwatch by tapping any part of the screen.

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.
