This is the perfect companion when you do laps. The application is a simple stopwatch plus so much more. Once you have put in your preferred pace, you can customize it to: - Vibrate every time you should have completed the lap - Announce the lap you just completed - Announce your time above or below pace - Announce laps using a configurable game of Fizz/Buzz - And it will even count the number of steps during the session (as well as over the entire day) [iPhone 5S and above]. Enjoy!
