One Hour and 3000/6000 Postal Swims

This is a great app for doing the Postal One Hour and 3000/6000 swims. Under tools you can send/ share your results. It's hard to find in the App Store. Remember it's from Pencil Busters.

Works well. No export feature

Haven't used it in an actual race, but it seems to work well. You can delete lap times that's really nice. I wish it had a way to export the data then it would really be useful.

Good Stop Watch

We have been using this as a backup timing device for bike races. Easy to use. One small request. It would be super helpful if there was a way to temporarily disable "Stop" so that a person does not hit the button by mistake. Otherwise a very handy app. Thanks!

Disappointed

What kind of timer does not come with a seconds setting? The lowest measurement is minutes? Unacceptable.

Not worth $.99

Doesn't do anything the free clock that comes with your phone won't do. Timer won't go down to seconds, only minutes. I can use my microwave for that. This app is less than mediocre masked by fancy formatting.

Awesome!

This app works awesome! Accuracy is fantastic. Works great for splits. And I like that you can plug it into iTunes to get the data off for those times when you don't have cell service.

JUNK!

Keep looking if you need tents or hundredths of a second. Nothing more than a fancy counter. Not worth the $.99

Great App

Not sure what the negative nellies have on this. Exactly what you need if you are a Dad with a Son running track and you want to track lap and cumulative time. Vibration is nice as it lets you know the tap took. Existing app for clock is frustrating as it doesn't let you know if you hit it or not, it doesn't let you have cumulatives, and it doesn't let you save times. It's free! This app is 2 bucks and certainly worth more than a venti, but it's less. Nicely done!

Wow, The free application crashes. No longer a free app, did the last update disable the app so that you now must pay to use.

Much better than built-in stopwatch app

For those that say this app is the same as the built-in stopwatch, that is completely wrong. The biggest thing for me is that it can store run times to review later. Another is that it beeps and vibrates when pushing the lap button for easy verification. There are several other features not in the built-in app, bug those are the two I notice the most. The only thing I don't like is that when I wear it on my armband, it's hard to see what lap I am on; but I hear they are working on an update to add in a larger lap indicator.

well done, but not worth it

This app is high-quality, but it does NOTHING that the built-in "Clock" app doesn't do! If you want a timer that is worth your money and can record splits/laps for multiple athletes simultaneously in a single race, go buy the app called uCoach.

Would have been a 5 star rating, but....

This app is great for getting my split times during my Crossfit workouts, but I wish an upgrade is made for the "Lap" button. Whenever I want press the "Lap" button: the phone beeps, the "Lap" button blinks once, and the "small" stopwatch at the top right side, resets.
PROBLEM: In a loud gym, the beep cannot be heard, also my finger covers the small "Lap" button, so I cannot see if it blinked, and the timer on top is too small to catch at a glance. So, what I need to do is pick up my iphone, bring it close to hear the beep and/or see the reset clock actually reset. When I'm fatigued, sweaty, and to just want to press the button and continue my workout without slowing down, I am not able to... and stopping or slowing down disrupts the workout tempo.
SOLUTION: Please update this app. to where the whole screen blinks "green" or any color, when the "lap" button is pressed. This will provide a larger stimulus and I don't have to second guess to see if the "lap" button was pressed. I think that will solve the problem, and I am looking forward to re-rating this app. a perfect 5 star!

Stopwatch done right!!!

This app does a stopwatch like it SHOULD be done, NOT like the half-baked Apple version that comes with the iPhone! Great job, Pencil Busters!

Problem fixed!

Please see comment below. I received a personal email in respnse to my email tp the developer and they fixed the problem immediately. It was dealing with older stpred data. App is perfect again and the developer was amazingly responsive!
Guys, I loved this app, it was simple, stable, and worked great ! I updated today and now it does not work at all, and disappears off of the screen after several seconds. Please fix what was a great app.

Great app just needs a little improvement

It does everything i need but when you press the buttons there is no sound (click or beep) to let you know you've pressed the button, i coach track and i have to keep my eye's on the runners as i take there splits because regular stop watches have a click or beep when the buttons are pressed. If they can have an option to turn the click or beep sound on/off and give it volume control it would be alot better, oh i forgot and be able to save it, create folders with dates/times you know the norm. Oh one thing can you make the buttons bigger because when I'm timing my runners sometimes I miss the button(see)"lap" to get there splits sense I can't feel the buttons. Maybe make half of the screen start/stop and the other half lap/reset just so every time I tap the screen I know I'm tapping lap I won't have to look down at the screen to make sure I'm tapping the button, then I'll be able to never take my eyes off my runners.

Great App

I installed the latest update and I must say this app is now perfect, the only thing I wished it could do (run in the background) it can now do. Thank you Pencil Busters! One cool feature you might consider is a strobe light that you can activate when running at night, I have been almost run over more times than I care to remember, if you included a blinking red light or flashing white flash light feature I'd be totally psyched! Great app, definitely worth the $0.99!

It stops when you hit home button. (UGGHH)

I really need a stop watch that can keep running after I hit the home button. This one does not. When you hit the home button it stops the watch. The iPhone stopwatch will keep running. The iPhone stopwatch can't be saved and a note added. I need to record my work hours as I fly to foreign countries. I need to start a watch when I get on the plane and then arrive at my hotel. Save the time and put a title or note on it. A kind of a time card app. Can't find one.

great app, but...

This is a very good product, but I notice that when I'm outside, it is difficult to see the large stopwatch numbers. I think it is because they are black on nearly black. They should just use a white background so the large numbers will be easily read, even outdoors.

Does the job.

Apple's stock stopwatch is sooooo lacking. This fill the obvious holes and then some. First, it has .01 of a second, critical in sport timing like swimming. Second it provides a simple way to record and save that data, also critical when timing your daughter's splits in the the 200 yard back so she can see how she did. Over all a pretty good app that does what it says it does. Improvement could be made to the interface a bit, let's lose the cheesy pencil buster logo please. And it would be great to add a shake to start/stop/lap time like in shake watch. Good app, highly recommended.

Handy

It's true that it would freeze after 70 or so laps before the update, but that is no longer an issue and I have never had this app crash on me. It's nice how you can save all your times under whatever name you want to stay organized, and then email them to yourself or to some other person.

Basically works but a couple major flaws

It does function as a stopwatch, however every time you press lap, it pauses momentarily. Most of the time it isn't major problem, but a stopwatch should not do this. If you want to test it keep hitting the lap button. each pause gets worse. At about 70-80 it completely stops for long periods of time.
Also it does not allow you to leave the program and return with it recognizing the time interval between, instead, if you leave and come back, it restarts and resets.

Better then iPhone timer

For me I want to save events and recall later would like to track three swimmers at a time. This is a good start for free I would pay a lot for a good one. Of seems like it would be easy to do.

Does not run in the background or sum race total

Thanks for adding lap running totals. But still lacks background running ability and more importantly final lap total and final race total.

nice app, but please add save feature

Very good app for use at races or practices. I coach a middle school cross country team. This is great for quickly tracking all of the runners times with a simple push of the lap button as each one finishes, and I don't have to frantically write times down. The iphone stopwatch doesn't accumulate time with each push of the lap button, so you have to go back and add the lap times to get a total time for each of my 25 runners. Most stopwatches don't keep multiple lap times, and even if it does you may forget the stopwatch but not your iphone.

Read the description before you write a review

It may not look as good as the one that comes with the iPhone/itouch, but that is not its purpose. I swim and time each lap of my friends races. It is a real pain to add up all the laps in the clock timer. This is a simple FREE app that does it's job. It may not be useful for you but don't trash it because of that.
