Read full description

ShotClock for Pool は、アマチュアのビリヤード試合のための「持ち時間タイマー」と「スコアボード」を1つにしたアプリです。 プロの試合で使う高価な機材は不要。iPhone 1台を台のそばに置くだけで、本格的な時間管理とスコア表示ができます。 ■ こんな人に ・練習試合で持ち時間を決めて打ちたい ・スコアを紙やアプリでバラバラに管理するのが面倒 ・対面のプレイヤーからも見やすい表示がほしい ■ 主な機能 【持ち時間タイマー】 プレイヤーごとに持ち時間(例:30分)を設定。自分の手番の間だけカウントダウンします。残り時間は大きな数字で表示され、離れた場所からも読み取れます。 【スコアボード】 9ボール・10ボール・8ボールに対応。タップでスコアを加算、長押しで修正。先取点数に達したプレイヤーが自動で勝者になります。 【ハンデ戦】 プレイヤーごとに異なる先取点数を設定できます。実力差のある相手とのゲームに。 【審判モード】 持ち時間を使い切った後、25秒または30秒のサブタイマーを起動できます。1ショットごとの時間を計りたいときに、審判の口頭カウントの代わりとして使えます。 【試合履歴】 終わった試合は自動で記録され、後から結果を振り返れます。 【横画面表示】 試合中は自動で横画面に。台を挟んだ両プレイヤーが読みやすい向きで表示されます。 ■ シンプルさを大切に 余計な設定や広告で邪魔をしません。試合に集中できる、必要な機能だけのアプリです。 ご意見・ご要望はアプリ内のフィードバックからお気軽にお寄せください。
