YAT Free includes a stopwatch with a novel "Repeated Trials Mode" option, which is designed for timing something multiple times and automatically calculating the average (for a more accurate or representative result). For further utility, YAT Free also includes a clock with large digits (for easy reading at a distance) and an optional ticking sound. YAT Free Features: - can (optionally) read step titles aloud at the beginning of each step - configurable time for transitioning between steps - choose color and fonts to suit your taste - 42 alert sounds to choose from - multiple vibration patterns to choose from - light and dark themes, to fit the room lighting - runs on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch (iOS 9.0+) - portrait and landscape support A paid version of YAT is also available, if you would prefer an ad-free experience or you wish to support the developer..
