The timing can be started and executed completely manually. For a better timing I recommend the use of my timing devices, which you can find on my website. All time measurements, as well as all participants with name and start number, are stored in tables within a database. Different tables with different control points and different participants can be created. The number of tables and participants has no limit. All these measurement data can be displayed, modified, deleted and exported as CSV file at any time. * A full version can be purchased via the In-App Purchase option. There are 3 subscriptions to choose from: - Full-version for 1 year - Full-version for 6 months - Full-version for 1 month * Note! The subscriptions are not renewed automatically. After the subscription expires, the restrictions of the free version will be applied again. * The only limitations of the free version: The total measuring time is limited to 5 minutes! Supported languages: German, Italian, English
