Timr is a puristic timing app, which combines countdown and stopwatch. It is simple to use, but offers advanced features. The reduced user interface is based on a circle as a timing indicator. The countdown can be set up by dragging the circle. In countdown mode the remaining time will be indicated dynamically on the circle. Countdown fires notifications when the time is up and stopwatch starts automatically. The advanced stopwatch records up to 99 laps. The circle indicator tracks the performance on each lap in comparison to the first one. The lap history will be shown in two different views. In the list view timing data (lap number, total time and split time) are available. The second view shows the lap times as a chart diagram. It offers highlighting of fastest and slowest lap by color coding. Wether you're a single athlete wanting to time yourself, or you're in charge of a participant, this versatile app is up to the challenge. At the end of the action, you can check all your lap times and share the result with your friends.
