Introducing the versatile 14 Stopwatches App, designed specifically for your iPhone and iPad to meet all your timing needs! Whether you're timing laps, workouts, or multiple events, this intuitive app allows you to run up to 14 individually named stopwatches on your iPhone and up to 20 on your iPad, making it a perfect companion for athletes, coaches, and fitness enthusiasts alike. Each stopwatch can be started simultaneously or individually, providing you with unmatched flexibility and control over your timing tasks. Optimized for your devices, the 14 Stopwatches App shines in portrait mode on the iPhone, ensuring easy access and readability, while the iPad version takes advantage of the widescreen layout in landscape mode for enhanced viewing. All your results can be easily emailed or copied directly from the app, allowing you to share your timing data with friends, athletes, or teams seamlessly. The app includes Apple Watch support & voice recognition that lets the user assign stop, start and split commands for different athletes Voice commands: • When Voice On is enabled, the app listens continuously for split, stop (or finish), and start, followed by an athlete’s name. You can also say all or everyone—for example, “Stop all.” • The app matches names only to athletes assigned to visible stopwatches. For example, “Stop Samantha” works when only one Samantha is assigned to a visible stopwatch. • The app uses how much of a name you say to find a match. “Split Laura Smith” selects Laura Smith. If you say only “Laura” and two Lauras are assigned, the app asks, “Which one? Laura Smith or Laura Brown,” gives a warning haptic, and takes no action. • Saying "Stop" records a split and then stops the stopwatch, just like the Stop button. • Athlete names are provided to the speech recognizer as hints, which can help it recognize unusual names. On-device speech recognition is used when available, so voice commands can work without a cellular signal. • For best voice recognition results, use an Apple Watch or a headset with a microphone. With the latest CSV Import functionality, you can now import athletes directly from a CSV file, simplifying the process of managing your stopwatch data. The app intelligently handles header rows, empty lines, and duplicate names, providing clear feedback on your import results. The timer display shows only minutes and seconds (MM:SS) for a cleaner look, while maintaining precision down to the tenth of a second for splits and recorded times. On the iPhone, the app features a streamlined navigation interface that enhances usability. The layout has been optimized for better readability, ensuring that all control buttons are well-organized and easily accessible even on smaller screens. Meanwhile, the iPad retains a wider side-by-side layout with larger fonts for maximum clarity, making it effortless to track multiple stopwatches at once. Experience the ultimate timing solution today with the 14 Stopwatches App — adaptable, efficient, and designed to elevate your timing experience on both your iPhone and iPad! • The default setting is 14 individually named stopwatches simultaneously on an iPhone, but you can add and/or delete additional stopwatches. • The default setting is 20 individually named stopwatches simultaneously on an iPad, but you can add and/or delete additional stopwatches. • All the stopwatches can be started simultaneously… or you can start each one individually. • All the result can be emailed (or copied) directly from the app. CSV format: John Smith Jane Doe

On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
